Dextrose solo?Follow

If you've got some time to kill This slow dude right here could be soloed by 41 rdm like genbu.

I forgot seals had colors. Durrrrrr.

Tier 2 ? I dunno, they seem kinda rough. I wonder if the arm from the bomb has the same effect as the NIN mythic, that would be unfortunate.

It's worth pointing out that a marid is not quite as slow as Genbu is. He also will not stop to cast. So they're not quite on the same tier.

actually, with the help of sanction refresh, you could do it at lvl 1! however, you'd likely starve to death before you even got a quarter of the way done, since you'd be relying on a 1/tic dia.

Anantaboga would be your best bet from the Sarameya tier2s. Just toss on Bio and nuke if you need. Avoid Silencing it as that will unlock the Dragon TP moves, otherwise he spams bard spells that take ages to cast.

Don't nuke unless you bind him first.

Basically, if you're in cast range, he'll almost always attempt to use virelai or horde lullaby. Song, as opposed to spells, can only hit you at 25 range instead of 31, so they're easy to outrun. If you're not in casting range, he'll buff himself.

Dunno how long Bio solo will take since I do all my ZNMs on COR. Takes about 40 minutes with quick draws, so I'd imagine about 2 hrs with bio and poison. Pull takes about 7-8 minutes. You'll have to cast a fresh bio and zone at some point to reset rage timer.

I wanted to update:

I just finished soloing Anantaboga. Took me 3 tries to get it right.. well 2 >.>

First try:
I went blm/nin, bad choice, got lullabied twice and well, couldnt heal myself up reliably enough with Drain so I died on a third lullaby.. Tho I guess if I didnt get hit it would be doable, tho the HP aggro mob that pops somewhat near where I was kiting could have been a problem.

Second try:
huuuuugh.. I pulled a nubbin... pop the NM but forgot to depop the first wamoura in the narrow passage to camp and it aggroed me and.. yeah 20 sec later 5 wamoura were having a nice taru snack...

Third try:
Went as /rdm, pull was kinda annoying cause it slept me off the bat and double attack me so I was left with 300hp. I'd suggest not poping at night time to avoid Low HP aggro.

Using mainly Dio II and Poison II, drain and some tier I took me ~ 90 minutes.
Everything was smouth till I hit the 15% HP mark, then it became impossible to stick poison II unless I was using ES, and all nukes where doing like 25% dmg. Last 15%HP took me about 35 min by itself.

For the fight, as long as you stay in the 25~35" range, it will only cast buffs, so you got time to run back a little and nuke. As long as you're 18" away you will have time to run out of range of lullaby. I was staying in the 25~30" distance, so I could see it cast buffs.

I let it charm me twice to drop all hate. Charm only left like 20 sec. I was planning to zone it but just when I was gonna do it I noticed a group of blms there at the zone, so it screwed my plan somewhat.

All in all, pretty easy fight, just takes some time.

p.s. I had 2 tick/refresh was just enough for me for debuffs and light nuking. Only used 1 yag drink and I could have made without it easily.


Edit: Now on to Achamoth. Any chance I can solo that as well? ^^

Pretty sure charm hate reset works by different rules than other hate resets, since you can pretty much get all the hate you lost back as soon as it wears off and you take an action on the mob. Could that be related?

Or maybe ZNMs/Anantaboga are/is just weird.
