Re: Where are People Soloing in UF?

fyi, mages aren't a solo class, we are a molo class... so the real question is, where are mages molo'ing in UF?

We are both, actually. With a merc you can obviously do more, and throughout SOD the bulk of the zones could be done without a merc healing the pet if you had a decent focus and a lot of pet AA's (and a significant number if you didn't have one or the other of that). In UF, the pure solo spots are much reduced, but they also exist. However, to me, solo or molo is splitting hairs - if the question is "Where can you go without other players or assorted boxed toons if UF?" then there are a lot of places. If I have to pop out a merc or not I don't much care.Shardin wrote:fyi, mages aren't a solo class, we are a molo class... so the real question is, where are mages molo'ing in UF?
I assume that what you mean is that mages can't solo easily in UF; in most of the zones I would agree, but being able to just mow down mobs isn't always the point. Soloing in UF isn't really about grinding or gearing up - it's about showing what you can do with your knowledge and experience, and keeping your skills sharp for the times when you won't have a merc, and things are not going according to plan.Shardin wrote:fyi, mages aren't a solo class, we are a molo class... so the real question is, where are mages molo'ing in UF?
Really. So I guess I didn't do lots of those UF tasks I recall doing alone in Grotto, BR, LC, Fungal, Husk, Convo, and so on. I must have dreamt it all. Yeah, that's it. The last year has been all a dream.Danille wrote:There is a big difference between 'soloing" and being able to take down a mob without a merc or anyone's help. The term soloing, implies that you are playing the game an accomplishing experience gain, progression, or quests. Mages cannot solo effectively in UF period.

In CC the goos, sometimes the undead or the odd traitor.
In Grotto all over the place except right past the BR zone and right past the UQ zone - hard to get singles there for some reason.
In Foundation at the zone in, or in a tunnel entrance.
In Arth by that dwarf near the Fungal zone, picking off ants by the farms, etc.
In UQ in badgerland, sometimes down the tunnel into golem territory.
In Fungal all over the place.
In LC all over the place.
In BT nowhere - can't get singles there to save my life.
In Kernagir up in the passages on walls - can usually get singles.
In Husk not too many places - are only a handful of spots I found I can get singles. One is near the gnolls/kobolds, another is near the bubbling spring, and right at the zone in from Arth.
In Convo right down the ramp from zone in, in a couple spots over by the gnolls/kobolds, in the passages in the upper area, in the room where the end of the Delth event is you can do some of those.
This is with an EM8 air pet, max aa's, cleric merc, just self buffs and whatever the merc tosses on. I can do some of the named as well...but for others I need to bring my cleric bot along to spam cures or whatever while the merc keeps the pet up, and of course there are some named I just haven't found a way to do alone (like the greken named in LC).
True. I do all that with a merc, but basing your complaint on that when I stated in a later post I don't discriminate between with merc or without - it's all the same to me - is ridiculous. There are places in that list that I can do without a merc as I said in that later post. Most of those spots are in tier 6, but there are some in tier 7 and 8 as well. Are you now going to tell me it isn't soloing if I went out after the raid with a raid buffed pet? Or stopped in the guild lobby first for a bunch of buffs?Danille wrote:There is no way you are soloing without a merc in these places. You specificly state that your moloing!

...you already stated in this thread it was possible to do with the gear setup I said I had.Danille wrote:And unless your maxed on AA's with Tower raid focus, your not soloing anywhere in UF.
