Solo'd Enter the Kobold

[Phalcon]

Is it just me or do these things always end in: "violating the Inflamation rules for posting" ???

Look I'm pretty hurt by this whole thing, I really am but only because it was done by a friend. but it is just a game and I'm here to have fun and relax. I don't think he is violating the rules of posting hes simply telling me that my hotkey bar set up sucks and to either a.) reroll or b.) prove him wrong. That is how I see it.

No offense, but I'm an old school Tharaskian

I have had nothing but fun with the Xorians over here on Thelanis.

I do agree with your post. That was pretty mean to the OP.

Nice job OP, congrats on that!

/agreed.

Sorry about your hardship tonight, but I only use 1 hotbar on each of my toons(I think its because Im OCD for being neat) and I get chewed pretty good when I post screenshots and or by guildies who make fun of me when I mess up . In all seriousness though, I really hope you can walk away from some of the comments here tonight and shrug them off... you dont need to prove anything to anyone but yourself, you know you solo'd it. the screenshot were enough for me.

Anyways, Grats again.

Bravo Zulu, well done!

I knew you could do it after you almost got it when I opened it for you on elite and followed in trace that first time (favor hunter, here, wanted the elite completion without having to do anything but watch). You seemed to learn a lot on that run.

[Kistilan]

No point in fighting. It's really stupid and I don't recall a time where I ever second guess'd him. I'll just do it again anyone is welcome to witness it.

I'll come watch. We have to finish that Interview after all. I'll be in your backpack the whole way on a level 4 soulstone. What do ya say?

PS: Good job too. I know your guild can do this -- one of the top in my books on Argonnessen. I'm not suprised you'd be doing something like this and I'm glad you accomplished it.

Can you get into Siber Atol on a Level 4?

[Kistilan]

Can you get into Siber Atol on a Level 4?

Good question! *L* I was hoping I could so there was no question as to whether I "helped." However, I haven't tried to get my level 4 into there so I don't know yet.

Bring a Monk! I hear they cant help!

Ps; Cant wait for the screenshots!

[Actus_Purus]

i agree with cam.
and you never traded me that mithral fullplate jen......ya ****.
lol
but seriously...

i think that is a lie and you had help (in the form of buffs/heals/whatever)

I don’t know how to put this mildly so I’ll be blunt: I don’t believe you.

Here are the problems I have w/ your claim:

1) You have Evasion w/ 11 Levels of Ranger, but you don’t have Improved Evasion. So, in the end fight, with 3 or 4 Fire Elementals spamming Delayed Blast Fireball at you, if you rolled a 1 at any time, you took over 200 points of damage. You only have 266 hit points. So, IF you survived the DBF on a 1, how did you heal the damage? You are an 11 Rgr/3 Pal/ 2 Mnk. None of those classes have UMD as a class skill. This means that the most ranks you could possibly have in UMD are 9.5. Assuming you had a Head of Good Fortune, 7 Finger Gloves, Tier 3 Shroud Item, UMD Feat, 18 Cha, spent the 10 AP required for Ranger Skill Boost IV, and girded yourself, you could achieve a UMD of 38.5. In that case, you could UMD Heal scrolls. But you and I know that you don’t have all of that going. You can tell by the Heal scrolls that are conspicuously missing from your hotbar. So, how did you heal yourself? The best you could have is Cure Mod w/ only 11 levels of Ranger, and I see you have 50 some odd CSW pots left. It would take you ~8 Pots/CMW to recover from one blast, by which time you’re hit again. (I can hear it now, “Oh I just ran out of Heal scrolls, I used my very last one…. More on this later.)
ACtually rangers can use Cure Serious Wands, and Of course Cure serious Pots... Thats 4&4 which can be done pretty much back to back.. Regening hp's isnt a stretch.

2) At least 2 living spells cast scorching ray for ~125pts on Elite. Scorching ray doesn’t care about your AC or your Evasion. See Problem #1.
Weakening of Enfeebleing FTW! Get em to 0 STR and they become floating paperweights and pose no threat to anyone.

3) Whatever boots those are you’re wearing, they aren’t Kundarak Delving Boots, the only wearable Freedom of Movement item in the game. You need 14 levels of Ranger to be able to cast Freedom of Movement. You have 11. So we know you didn’t cast it and we know you don’t have an item for FOM. The only other way you could have had FOM is if you ate a cake… you know… the ones that came out 5 days ago. The named Kobold spams Hold Person/Hold Monster on Elite, which is why FOM is necessary. If held, all of a sudden your AC and regular Evasion don’t mean so much. I guess we’re supposed to believe that you finished the quest w/ 14 extra Risias, but just happened to use ALL of your FOM cakes? Just like the Heal scrolls I guess? Is that why there aren’t any of those on your hotbar either?

4) All of the Paragon Kobolds in the quest carry Vorpals. Now granted you have a nice AC and they have to hit you to Vorpal you, but a 20 is an auto hit, coincidentally the same number they need to Vorpal you. I don’t see any Visors of the Flesh Renser on your hotbar. Let me guess, you had Deathward cakes, and happened to run out of those too?
20 is an auto hit, but NOT an auto Vorpal. You Must confirm the 20 jsut like any critical hit.

5) Even the mephitis do 28-35 pts of slash damage per attack on Elite. Fine vs one or two, but they come in packs of 5 or 6. So, we should believe that in each pack of 5 or 6, none of them ever hit you causing you to have to heal yourself? I say that could be the case, but probably wasn’t.

You know a lot of us have been playing this game a long time and some of us are pretty good soloists. Your toon has an AC that you should be proud of. But there is more to soloing than great AC. I know your toon flat out doesn’t have the items necessary to heal yourself and deal w/ the different types of issues in Kobold elite. So I’m sorry, but I cannot congratulate you for this. I’d bet 1 million plat right now that you didn’t do it solo this time, and couldn’t do it w/ an impartial spectator present.

For someone who has been playign the game so long, your not very familiar with all the intracacies of the game are you?

Nice Job OP....

Not to jump on the schooling bandwagon, (the OP is already pretty much your Kindergarden teacher on this one) but vorpals don't just require a 20. They require a 20 and a confirmed crit roll. So if you are just getting hit on 20s then your chance of being vorpalled is 1 in 400. Not something to really be afraid of.

Sorry to jump in OP you can take him back to school now if you'd like.

[Wizzly_Bear]
