How I solo Heroics, being above Level 50

Ugho · 12-02-2005, 08:32 PM

I have been soloing group Heroic Mobs, double arrow, and triple arrow lately.

Double arrow are cake

I start ALL fights with Devastation, then run away until the 5th dmg is ABOUT to hit, that stuns the mob(s), then if it's gruop mobs, I cast Dark Nebula, does damage and stuns, then I cast Bony/Skeletal Grasp(whichever you have). At this point you are untouched, and have done a good amount of damage. If they are almost dead at this point, then cast Dark Nebula again, and then Nil Absolution. If they have a good amount of health still, then you can wait for Devastatino to recycle and repeat. You can also pick off mobs 1 by 1 if there aren't too many after you have rooted them.

so..Devastation -> run -> Dark Nebula -> Bony/Skeletal Grasp -> Dark Nebula -> Nil Absolution

or..Devastation -> run -> Dark Nebula -> Bony/Skeletal Grasp -> Dark Nebula -> Devastation -> etc

Double Arrow, this usually does the trick, I also mix in Aura of Emptiness for more dmg

Devastation -> Immediately Freeze(this allows freeze stun, then devastation stuns goes off) -> Null Distortion -> Root -> Null Distortion -> Soul Flay

Triple Arrow, takes a little more time

Devastation -> Immediately Freeze -> Null Distortion -> Root -> Root -> Root -> Repeat

You may die or have to run the first couple of times trying group heroic and triple arrow, but you will get the hang of it. Also, when I talk about Group Heroic and Triple Arrow, these have been 1 - 3 levels below me. The exp is real good on triple arrows though. The triple arrows have been melee mobs too, not casting ones.

What are your strategies at this level?

What 3 roots do you use for the 3up's? Is there any spell you can cast on rooted mob without any chance of breaking root?

Tanatus · 12-02-2005, 10:37 PM

Method you have discribed useable but requied space and to much power consumption imo

Dont use skel grasp at all - stick with Cower - a lot less power plus 4s fear proc on termination. Your panic buttom is combo VI+Skel grap

Worst things for root brakage are dots and HO - everything else is ok. Personally I stick with mostly chainin Nul Distortion and Devastation - thats for high blue and above cons..... For green tripple up most time since you can afford tank em - just use everything your got except for dots

I only use skel grasp if i'm doing a Heroic Group. If i'm doing a Double or Triple Arrow, then I use Cower always.

Blah, I didn't see anyone asking for help.

Look! I solo'd this awesome Epicx20 space bat angel dragon!!!!111

No. Just no. Don't post it. No one wants to see. Just go away.

Taken from the stickied warlock FAQ, which is kinda on the same topic as your "helpful" post. I don't think I need to explain why these posts are bad.

d24e · 12-04-2005, 02:51 PM

I would have enjoyed his post if he explained the 3 roots he uses to me.

For double and triple arrow single mobs, I use Cower. I only use Skeleton Grasp for groups.

[expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing rangers/conj's/Bruisers are out soloing ^^^ higher level than they are, do you realy think SOE gives a rats [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] that a warlock can solo arrow down heroic mobs? So muich so that they would nerf Warlocks for it? /boggle

Moonspark · 12-05-2005, 11:59 PM

Bah, you guys do it the cat (replace cat with another word that means cat) way.

When I'm soloing heroics, I start with devastation, then as they are running to me I throw down all dots, followed by thwart, dark nebula and then root, then I throw in my netheros lord and then hope my root breaks so I get to tank the mob or use VI. If you have your timing down the mob will be stunned for the duration of most of the dots so it won't even matter, when you've completely blown your load, just click the remaining stuff off and reroot til it all repops!

None of this sitting around and waiting crap, burn the crap out of them!

EDIT: BTW I was just kidding about netheros lord

Pretty funny, I was playing around with spells, and now a single arrow up mob, is dead before he can even get to me, doesn't even touch me.

Devastation -> run -> Null Distortion(right before the stun goes off) -> Deter -> Dark Nebula -> Null Distortion or Soul Flay (he may be dead at this pt)

Amazing how fast we can take down single and double arrow mobs.

Mode · 12-07-2005, 10:04 PM

I just use cower and skelatal grasp in together stacked. Then just use Nul Dis. and Soul Blister with Devestation. If you break one root the other almost always stays and before you cast another DD, just reapply the one that broke. If both break you will have the fear of cower plus your stuns to get them rerooted away from you.

Dead ^^^ so long as you have the mana regen to counter the amount of hp's the mob has.. This will kill almost anything blue and below....
