Advice for soloing HJJ I put on Wiki:
Obviously, if a 90 DNC can do it then a 95 DNC can do it, but I figured I'd give a little rundown too. A few things to note: 100-50% you don't even need Fan Dance. He'll use Hell Scissors sometimes after Bindga, but Hell Scissors has a long ready time and you can stun it pretty reliably if you have Etoile Casaque and keep Stutter Step on. Of course, this will work at best 90% of the time (assuming the stun rate on VF also caps at 95%) but Hell Scissors won't kill you, so whatever. Venom Breath does put up a poison aura, but it's nothing too serious and you don't NEED to block it with potions, you can just use CWIII to keep your health up. This will slow down your killspeed a little, but whatever -- if you're soloing something on DNC you're not worried about speed, I'd assume. Anyway, above 50% the fight is absolutely inconsequential, but as soon as it drops to 49% Hedjedjet decides to play dirty and there are some things it does that will try to screw you over, but if you're good it won't matter. Breakga is the main one-- It starts to cast breakga below 50% as you may know, but as has been mentioned, it is stunnable. Violent Flourish is not 100% reliable so breakga may get through. I actually had 3 breakgas get through on a Hedjedjet and I survived it, even through 3 Death Scissors in a row, however I have Fan Dance merited 5/5, for situations like this. If you don't have Fan Dance merited, you're more likely to get caught by a breakga in a low Fan Dance situation, and that will certainly spell certain doom for you. It also starts spamming death scissors occasionally, but it's not too much of a problem unless it catches you in a low-stage of fan dance and you for whatever reason can't put up shadows or are petrified. Hedjedjet is likely to give you a few close calls. For reference, Breakga lasts about 30 seconds on a level 95 dancer not geared to resist it. If you get petrified, switch to either full evasion or PDT and try to ride it out. ---Asymptotic 09:49, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah well..when I first went out there I saw them claim it originally and run off with it. I stood there for a minute then went to go see where they were and couldnt find them..noticed they werent even in the zone anymore..and found the NM walking around at 100% again so I guess they wiped pretty quickly and came back with a brew to find me soloing it lol

im pretty sure his tp attacks have to do with how much hp you have anyways, no matter how much you have his dmg scales with it.

Ahh, I guess I should mention that I have around 3.7k in Altepa.
Hell Scissors even when it got through never took me low enough to let poison kill me. Waltz V is a godsend at that point.

I actually did it backwards when i was trying to +2 dnc body. The like first or second time i soloed it was going on like 50 minutes and stun was getting resisted pretty much all the time so i just stopped stunning bindga and let scissors hit me for first 50%. After that shes a joke

Hell Scissors does something like 99% of your max HP (minus PDT). He's not a hard fight, but if you can dualbox a BLM/WHM (or /THF) for procs/stun then I don't see a compelling reason not to.

Entertainment. When I soloed it, I didn't actually need any drops from it, I just happened to run into it and said "Why not?" XD
Oh, as for atmas I used RR/GH/SS.

Noobish question, how the heck do you get 3.7k on dnc? Im still missing only 1 of my HP abyssites but Im going to admit after the aby ls I used to be in fell apart I havent bothered/thought of getting any other things like that. Is there some obvious answer Im missing as per usual?

The morale boosts in Heroes zones tends to be quite potent. On bad days I'll only have 3300 D:

I think I was remembering my HP wrong in there.
I don't have time to go check, but
Hy hp at 95 is 1441
So
(1441) * (1 + 0.8 + 0.25 + 0.2) = 3242 HP.
This is what I get for going by eyeballing/memory.
SORRY FOR THE MISINFORMATION.
I don't know why I thought it was so much higher.

anyone try out Orcus VNM t3 (brown abyssite-west/west_s sarta, meriph/meriph_s mts)?
ive been trying for an alert ring from farruca for awhile (still to no avail, 0/20?) and the t3 was right on top of it so i decided to give it a try, he's pretty rough
i wasn't prepared at all with macros to gear swap so i had to hit my eva macro after everything i did which got distracting/annoying. also didnt have a macro for quake blast which was a pain to get all my gear on afterward. EVA gear the whole time, constant steps for finishing moves; violent flourish stunned 2/23 times with etoile body. never had a chance to ws-all tp went to CWIII; reverse flourish couldnt keep up with tp needed to cure. he finally got into spamming gravitic horn which pretty much was too hard to recover from
i only fought him for 8min and did 9013dmg (yes i counted and calculated im a loser) so i dont know how far i even got. ill try again more prepared and see what happens :O

I have solo'd many thing in game, even at 75 solo'd sea/sky/random NMs. but VNMs are tough, wasted a couple T3 pops trying to solo those bad boys. Grats on staying up so long mate (*^.^*)

Since I like this thread and want to know what else is possible at 95 these days Im inputting more~
Managed to solo HJJ plenty of times now, only just finally got my soulscourge off it and I never want to see that thing again. I ended up fulltiming fan dance and actually found it faster, since I didnt have to sit on tp in case I missed a stun (happens often with my lag) to cure myself, and just self darknessed it a ton. It was alot easier than my last attempt, just it's def and hp really make it a long fight ; ;
The amount of times I saw the classic duo's (whm+mnk/nin/whatever) die to it or have to brew it down immediately got ridiculous

Kutharei is now mostly trivial.
Iratham is doable if:
1.) You have shell from an outside source
2.) He doesn't use Stygian Sphere too often
3.) Atma of a Future Fabulous
You absolutely have to wipe his shield (using Aeolian Edge ~3-4 times tends to do it) or else he'll tear you apart.
Occasionally he'll still *** you up, generally if he spams shield at low HP and decides to do a lot of shadow wrecks after that.

I just managed to solo Serket in Ghoyu's Reverie (the one Sandworm sends you to) on DNC/whm.
Sandworm was near the OP I went to for a campaign battle and decided to give him a go (a fun solo fight in itself) and got Doomvoided. Had to mainline poisona and Fan Dance but was an absolute rush. Took ~20mins using full evasion gear and no sambas, lowest HP got to was 39/~1400 from the super poison as his HP dropped. Only got a V.claw though, but definitely the most fun solo I've had since 75cap days.

Duo'd KA at 85. Me on thf, other on Dnc. No buffs, so I pretty sure he's soloable now. As far as inside abyssea goes, I don't consider anything in there solo. Unless you're doing it without atmas/Cruor buffs. There's nothing in there that's an achievement; never was. Just sayin...
Basically, an achievement thread, I wanna know what you've soloed on DNC! (Not an E-Peen Thread, I just find these things interesting)
My solos so far:
Greater Amphiptere
Atkorkamuy (I know another DNC has done these two, thats why I wanted to)
Cemetery Cherry
Tyrannic Tunnok
Tegmine
Jaded Jody
Charybdis (with a BRD D: [nothing like that Mambo])
There are more, I'll edit when I remember everything...
Want to solo:
Ungur
Tarasque
Guivre
