Been playing around with this lately. With a similar set up b4 the pdt nerf i was able to solo chloris without ever seeing a doom TP move. But that was combining the loss of tp from chloris hitting for 0. I still find it effective even now as it drastically reduces the number of WS's u see. This set up can be very helpful for NMs like Hedjedjet (his poison aura is the main threat and it only comes after he uses "Venom Breath") when reducing the frequency of TP moves can avoid nasty side effects.

some other nice sides to this set up

Counter 20%ish chance.
Regen 1 natural

Some downsides: certain forms of regain can undermine this set up.
Flowerpot merle does not resist most spells well.

All in all, definitely worth putting into ur arsenal

I tried to solo Myrmecoleon as BST/DNC once when I had some extra time in Tahrongi.. It's definitely soloable, I got it to 10% before It decided to use Gravitic Horn back to back on Dipper, and Call beast wasnt up. Just the normal EVA set; x2 Guichard's axe +2, Cloak and Dagger/Razed Ruin/Mounted Champion. I threw in some Pet onry gear like Beast bazubands and DT/Haste augmented Anwig. The way the adds pop, is usually in your favor, They attack someone whose NOT at the top of the hate list, and if you're doing it right, Dipper should be at the top. The adds die rather fast from Melee swings, and in between pops i melee the NM with Dipper, maybe that's why i wiped xD

I soloed "Horns of War" a few hours ago on BST/NIN for a friend.
Used a decent Reward set, pdt-10% axes, af3+2 legs etc

Used ~ 8 Eta Biscuits and 9 or 10 Dawn Mulsum. Always Meteor when I ran in for reward so I used Dawn Mulsum for awesom 2,9k Cures from 45' distance. I used only 1 Nursery Nazuna, fight lasted 24 min but super easy. Having Cooking 100+ makes this fight very cheap - maybe 25k for everything (farmed white honey and apkallu eggs on my own).

Don't wait for Call Beast timer - spawn NN - get her on Behe and use reward/dawn mulsum at will. Meteors did ~600 dmg to NN - 2 Meteors hit her for 1,1k dmg.

Can be a bit risky if you ran in and get hit by a meteor but rest up and use dawn mulsum instead.

If you only use Dawn Mulsum - stay 40' away use it from time to time and relax. Got Tongue, PI for NQ Behe and some NPC stuff.

anyone have tried soloing sobek?

I tried the KS99 behemoth solo with Dipperyuly, his meteors were too consistant for reward timers, not to mention with every meteor that lands, the next gets stronger to the point were they'll be flat-out oneshots. He doesn't go down too fast either, and it's even worse if you use the sheep because he'll be taking melee hits aswell as those consistsnt meteors. Well, maybe it can be done, I wont dismiss it, but I doubt it personally.


But as for solo's outside lolabyssea:

Vrtra,
Cerberus,
Hydra,
Khimaira,
Fafnir (not had the chance to try Nidhogg solo)
Behemoth/King Behemoth
Sandworm (all DV's. cept KA. HQ is tricky, but can be done.)
Tinnin
All skygods, cept Kirin

I got a question for all you BST guys :D

Can all the KS99's be duo/trio'd by BSTs? I know the Behemoth one can but what about the others?

I'd like to trio trio them all but not sure if its worth risking the seals.

Gonna try the Vrtra thing. Won't spoil anything if its legit; it'll be a 'try it yourself' thing. :O
