I'm not sure where to post this so please move if necessary. I was wondering if it was possible to solo the 3 Darkness in TOPK to get all the green drops so I tried it today with my Ritualist. Turns out they're really not all that difficult in NM.

k good for you. But most of the greens are bad.

FengShuiDove · Oct 01, 2009, 11:56 PM // 23:56

This has been doable with an Assassin in HM for years.

spirit spam rit even before the spirit buffs have been able to solo just about any boss (in the case group of bosses) for years

Doesn't that look a little photoshopped to anybody else?

Black Metal · Oct 02, 2009, 12:24 AM // 00:24

what, you don't think it's possible to solo Darknesses with Rit?

I did it a week or 2 ago, to get some greens for my 2nd acct.

Besides, it's WELL KNOWN that this is possible

sorta like accusing someone of PS'ing a screen of a 55 surviving a hit from an aatxe

I ain't talkin about it can't be done I'm justa sayin that thing looks a bit photoshopped. Geesh keep your panties on.

I guess its not a big deal. Oh well, I still had fun doing it. Anyway, here is the full size image in case you still believe its Photoshopped (photobucket resized it):

I guess I'll be the first to say the first somewhat positive thing on this topic.

Good job. I haven't beaten TOPK on any of my characters yet. I came close once but the pug had a monk throw a temper tantrum and we wiped at the last bit.

The Drunkard · Oct 02, 2009, 12:49 AM // 00:49

Cool, I'll have to try that sometime on my rit.

Question: Why use agony instead of shadowsong/anguish/armor of unfeeling?

edit: getting my skills strait

@vader - nice job and I didn't know about it. So thank you.

dr love · Oct 02, 2009, 12:52 AM // 00:52

what. no ogre slaying knife? what a rip

Bob Slydell · Oct 02, 2009, 02:17 AM // 02:17

I have never even made it 10 feet into ToPK without dying, 3+ years playing...

Windf0rce · Oct 02, 2009, 03:44 AM // 03:44

What an awesome community, people can't help themselves trying not to be complete asses. What's up with this? If you don't like the thread, out with the negativity please... or AT LEAST try to be polite if you disagree with the OP. WTB stricter moderation. Back to Diablo III forums...

godis · Oct 02, 2009, 05:32 AM // 05:32

When you say solo, do you meen taking the bosses all alone ( flagging party elsewhere ) ? Or doing it without other human players.

Anyway GZ ! all those greens make me wanna try TOPK :P

Snograt · Oct 02, 2009, 06:00 AM // 06:00

Heh, welcome to the club!

Take a look in Campfire, there's a thread entitled "Why does nobody ever go ToPk anymore" - and see this post http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...9&postcount=38

It's a popular spot for those of us reminiscing about how greens used to be exciting ^_^

(Oh, and I'll tell you something for free - Victo's Axe, Victo's Bulwark and the aforementioned Ogre Slaying Knife are still damn rare. Haven't had any of them yet.)
(edit - I tell a lie...)

Marvel Buddha · Oct 02, 2009, 06:30 AM // 06:30

I did this run everyday for awhile 3 years ago and got victos axe and bulwark and illyana's staff but i did it with my N/Mo and a good group of people. Then i lost my internet and came back only to find a bunch of A/E that were soloing it

T1Cybernetic · Oct 02, 2009, 09:55 AM // 09:55

Congrats, i have managed to get there far too many times solo on my assasin but never tried with another class so well done

magao · Oct 02, 2009, 10:10 AM // 10:10

I go in with a party of 3 humans - Assassin (no perma!), Ranger and Paragon. Add in some spirit spamming monks and away you go.

I've completed TotPK 4 times now. It's always Scarred Earth that I have trouble with - if I get through that, I'm pretty much guaranteed to finish (messed up once at the start of the Hall of Heroes by being careless). But I took about 30 goes before I first managed to get through Scarred Earth.

First time I went in we got Victo's Sword, Victo's Axe, Elswyth's Recurve Bow and 3 less-useful greens. I just got the Ogre Slaying Knife on my last dive too

Oh - I also use it for levelling up pets for my menagerie ... going in with 3 level 5 pets is not a recipe for success.

Dark-NighT · Oct 02, 2009, 12:41 PM // 12:41

I think the tombs are still awesome, ive monked quite a lot of trips through there, and solo'd it on my assassin when shadow form didnt have a damage penalty. If only the greens received an update to make them more awesome, the tombs would be invaded again.

Nice job anyways
