VOD SOLO- Battle cleric

[Valiance]

Wanted to get this done before the new mod and just barely squeeked it in. Super tired tonight so this will be short and sweet.

Used not quite 100 heal scrolls and used 1 mana pot which turned out to be not necessary. My goal was to not use any mana pots but I got scared at end and drank one just to be sure. Wish I hadn't but oh well.

I'll add some later if people care but for now here's the screenshots:

****! Kudos Brie!

Very nice accomplishment resource wiseas well!

[Whippy]

Very nicely done on all of those!

[sirgog]

Amazing achievement!

That's about 99 less mana pots than the last solo completion IIRC.

Have you got any strategy tips for people that want to try to mimic your achievement? I assume you worked on the basis of Torc, Concordant Opposition, high AC, high saves, evasion, bladebarrier kiting on trash mobs while letting them hit you to proc +mana guards, melee DPS on orthons, and very slow, very controlled melee DPS on Suulomades.


Oh and I might just have to post a link to your achievement in one of the 'OMG Battleclerics are the worst thing ever' threads. It's not the forums without a good flame war going, and this looks like good fuel to those dying fires

Battle clerics suck, they cannot do anything and if you make a battle cleric u r gimp'd

Actually I think that Oddlived said he used 150 major mana pots.

You've pretty much got the strategy. Other things you have to add are UMD'ing waves of exhaustion scrolls. It would be amazing to have the DQ staff and get a ray of enfeeblement or two off on him but I don't have that loot yet. Actually I don't have any plus 3 tomes yet either.

You need about 75 AC for Suulo before he's exhausted and 72 once he is to be somewhat ok tanking him.

I originally thought I would be blade barriering the boss and tanking the trash mobs but it actually turns out to be easier to do it the opposite way.

Don't get me wrong it was still pretty darn hard and took me about 7 or 8 tries. The hardest part by far is that when he is on his last 1/3 of health he "binding chains" you constantly which is a huge debuff to movement speed and to AC.

I will add a link to the build in OP.

FYI - clerics can't use that staff...

Edit: Correction, checking its stats, I see one can use it with a 26 UMD

Could you outline further your strategy - in particular, how you deal with the suicide bomber bats (I assume from your relatively high kill count for a VoD completion that you kill lots of them - is that by BB kiting?), the traps (I assume you cannot disable them while the Orthons are up, unless you slay three then try disarm the traps while hoping the Orthon that's still up doesn't roll a 20 to disrupt you), and also what you feel are the most critical points in the raid?

To give you an example of what I'm after, were I talking about my strategy for soloing normal Stormreaver on my Clr18/Ftr2, I'd say something like this:

1) Buff: all five resists, extended, plus other standard buffs (FoM for earth elementals at end)
2) Run to 10-11 o'clock, set up a Max-Empped-Extended bladebarrier killzone with at least four active at any time, get a charge ASAP
3) Kill Air Elementals as soon as possible after spawn whilst in the aforementioned kill zone. If charge is lost while elementals are up, quaff Haste potion and kite Reaver and all remaining elementals around outside of room dropping bladebarriers whenever cooldown is up; also spam Destruction and Banishment on air eles that are undamaged or have high HP and Searing Light on those with low HP. Use antigravity time to heal and refresh BB cooldown. When stable again (i.e. no eles up), get a new charge and keep it this time , then set up BB killzone again and stay in it (this gives the best chance of survival if knocked down by Air Eles)
4) On getting Fly the first time, fly slightly off the ground and kill all remaining air eles, then go for completion lever. Return and beat down Reaver to ~5% with melee.
5) Get a charge, then kill the Reaver as quickly as possible. Get to puzzle and use standard GGG- logic system to solve it. Ignore elementals (except to heal the damage they deal and to spam Banishment on every cooldown to thin the numbers in case things go wrong).

Critical points:
Losing charges when air eles are up or about to spawn - requires awareness of all the hazards in the room to survive this, plus you need to think 'am I better off running, or pulling them to existing BBs and hope they die before the BB expires or they toss me totally away from it
Getting the charge before killing the Reaver - I've never been able to beat the puzzle without one, due to the number of air elementals and the unforgiving time limit - knockdown lock is hard to escape in the puzzle room, if you can at all.
Solving the puzzle efficiently - every time you pull the lever and haven't solved it, more elementals spawn.


So yeah, asking for something like that If you can be bothered.
