What lvl would it be possible for a veno to solo TT 1-1? I'd be using a golem of course, I have -12 channel so healing is definitely no problem, and I have like 220+ int. Is it possible at lvl 63 with the next healing pet level?

    I did my first TT solo at 60.

    Channeling may help, but even more important is :

    1 - You Matk. The formula fore healing a pet is :

    "XXX HP + XXX% of you magic attack"

    So, the higher you Matk is, the stronger your heal is. If you are not a full intel veno with very good gears, it can be hard to make it at 60. It become much easier at 63 with the new level pet healing.

    2 - The timing of your healing. Healing a pet when it's full health is useless. So when your pet can die in two hits, you must learn when to heal it.

    With a golem, you'll probably have to wait for 63. Colossus (the first centaur-ish boss) spams magic rather than using physical damage like he does in party mode. You've got a decent amount of int, as I had about 180 at level 60, so you may be able to do it at 60 with a TT weapon (oh the irony). I was light armor and spam healing, and whenever Colossus hit on the upper end of his magic twice in a row, my golem would basically die. Anyway, since it only hits magic, one strategy you can do is bramble hood -> pet revive -> resummon -> pet heal. Since colossus only hits magic your pet revive won't be interrupted (at least I don't think so?). Or else you could just play it safe and wait for 63, when it will definitely be possible.

    Alternative is grabbing a magic defence pet.

    He doesn't always spam magic. If you get your golem positioned right(close enough to him) Chintien does physical attacks.

    60 is doable with full int and good gear, especialy after you get your magic sword from there. 63 is very doable.

    I run it solo a lot now trying to make money to buy a phoenix, solo i can do it in about 15-20 mins now. (Golem can tank a few hits so I have time to debuff the bosses)

    Really? I remember thinking that at one point, but after trying some repositioning I could never get him to use physical attacks between his magic ones. Been awhile since I did 1-1 though, so I guess I'm wrong.

    There's a trick to getting Chintien to use physical attacks. Put your pet on manual and wait til Chintien's in the back of the room. Throw a venomous scarab at him to attract his attention and while he's running toward you send in your golem. That way the golem gets in close before Chintien aggros him. Makes it much easier to deal with him.

    Or you could just set your pet to manual attack, (to prevent it from auto attacking again after it gets hit) move to the other side of Chintien, hit follow, then hit attack while the golem is in the middle of it. Probably safer than having Chin target you.
