My fault, heres a few things cleared up:

Tanking: It is not a TRUE tank, you cant take it and run into a mob and get all the aggro while everyone else nukes the crap out of the bad guys. This is a PHYSICAL tank, it has more or less total defense(if you count the healing to cover crit defenses) against melee/ranger damage. If you go against a caster you can still kill it, but the defense will be much much lower.
(By the way, I am looking for a good way to make a true assassin "tank" with more armor and elemental defense, but it isn't easy...)

Shiro Soloing: Made a mistake on the build here, if you want to solo him you have to get rid of Dark Escape for Way of Perfection, and get rid of Death Blossom for Wild Blow. You could also drop the first two attacks for Golden Pheonix Strike and keep wild blow, but you won't be as effective on the way through the mission.

The Video: Monk is NOT necessary. The only reason I had dunk with me was because there were no monks there, and no one else had a good hero(don't ask me why, I have no idea). But I took him, flagged him, and he healed me on occasion. You can still tank Shiro without a monk and easily survive if you maintain WoP and Shadow Refuge when you need it.

More of the Video: The point of that video was more or less... showing off.

The point of the build in that sense is to TANK Shiro while the rest of the team goes and gets the bonus. No one every said you NEED to solo him, although it is very fun to do so while your team watches in awe.

Hope this cleared a bit up, I honestly prefer my Assassin's Promise/Dark Prison BOA spiker for PvE though. It's just much more fun.

That Chkkr build you posted is interesting; I independently came up with one of the variations listed there (the MoR/Conjure Flame version).

Very cool stuff.

how do you solo shiro in cantha?

Samurai-JM · Mar 21, 2007, 03:31 PM // 15:31

In cantha he IS soloable now, just use Golden Pheonix Strike, Critical Strike, Moebius Strike, Death Blossom. The DPS is so high you can get through meditation with only about 150 damage. Just keep Way of Perfection and Shadow Refuge up as much as possible, and Mhenlo is always there so he keeps you healed too.
