Curse

Well if any of you remember, a few weeks ago I posted a video of myself tanking Shiro Tagachi at the Gate of Madness. I suppose it wasn't truly a solo since I did have Dunkoro on the side healing me, so I decided to change that. I went back today to help a friend beat the mission on his ranger, and decided to give it one more shot. Here is what I came up with:

(sorry for bad pic, the vid is much better quality)

Yep, that is Shiro, being completely owned by an Assassin. I edited the build a bit to add more DPS, and I still kept the defense and self healing. Here it is:

[skill]Critical Defenses[/skill][skill]Golden Phoenix Strike[/skill][skill]Critical Strike[/skill][skill]Moebius Strike[/skill][skill]Death Blossom[/skill][skill]Wild Blow[/skill][skill]Way of Perfection[/skill][skill]Shadow Refuge[/skill]

Kept up WoP and SR as much as possible to counter the 25% chance Shiro had to hit me, then spammed away with the three central attacks, while using Wild Blow whenever he put up Battle Scars. Total Domination.

Ok so by now you want to see the whole video I suppose... here it is:
VIDEO OF ME SOLOING SHIRO WITH NO MONK
Sorry for the lack of music, im a movie n00b. But yes, an Assassin CAN solo Shiro, and with great ease I might add. Keep in mind, you don't have to solo Shiro, nothing says you can't take a monk or an SS necro or something with you to help, but it's always fun having your entire team sit back in awe at how you can solo one of the strongest bosses in the game.

By the way, I did this in about half the time it took me as last time. Less than 5 minutes.

Oh I almost forgot, did it in Cantha too

I counted you being hit by Aegis three times near the end.

Once more without the blessings too.

Nice work.

GoM is very easy because of the blessings, nothing special there. But congrats on beating him in Imperial Sanctum.

Mhenlo is kinda there... hes ALWAYS there in cantha. You can't get rid of him

And the blessings are the mission bonus, we were doing the mission after all!

If you want me to do it with no bonus you'll have to find me a team that is willin to sit there and do absolutely nothing for no reason for 5 minutes

And about aegis, I told them not to help me x_X still wasn't necessary though.

Wow, very nice job. Maybe doable on a stance tank as well?

^Most likely. The only thing you really have to do is have very good melee defense with enough damage to bring him down.
