    My hat's off to you!

    Not sure I have the will to fight anything for 16 minutes though. No way I could fight that long without screwing something up.

    Why should they nerf anything? After watching Thelons videos I always get the feeling that bosses need to be buffed a lot instead of nerfed.

    My grandma's stam sorç could solo a boss if she had 16 minutes and a pet to tank it.
    Just Snipe away. Nice and slow. Just like her.

    Ah, the S.S.'s (Solo Sorcerers) are here (@Vaoh @Thelon). Always wanted for all 3 of us to be in the same thread. Now only if we could all be in a group together. Lol. Anyway! Excellent work Thelon. Absolutely fantastic work. That is most impressive. It's because of your work that I got involved with "pet builds" to begin with a long time ago. As well as got interested in solo'ing content. Fantastic job, bruh.

    She likes the weather abilities.
    But she doesn't like playing friendly with, quote, the devil's children.

    She also wonders why that bow ability knocks you back when there's absolutely no reflection in energy after the arrow strikes.
    (I think she's a bit of a physics nerd.)

    Nicely done, lets hop ZoS doesn't take this the wrong way and nerf everything again, or buff everything. Either way, good job, kind of jealous of the skill of some DPS (Tank mostly)

    Sheesh, why does everyone have to be so salty? With comments like these, you know it's got to be jealousy. Just because his pets helped with the fight, i still consider it soloing the boss. You still have to slot the pets on the bar and make them part of. your rotation. Nice job Thelon.

    I don't want to be rude to op or anything, but this boss is just meh. It does requires resilience, but effort? Not really. The fight barely have any mechanics just "get out of the red puddle". He just standed there and kept his rotation up. Even maelstorm bosses are harder than manticore considering mechanics.

    What's important to bring up is that if people actually think that soloing this kind of boss is impressive, the game serious lack impressive content to run.

    Not to mention the micromanagement required to keep the pets alive since their health is so low.

    Very nice work, Thelon!

    agreed...a very well managed fight
    as having to double-bar pets means much less room for other skills to be able to access, so I would say you really have to understand how to make pets work for you to be able to do this

    so my insignificant praise to you Thelon...well done indeed
