Well, I'm now a level 48 mage build Veno and I'm running into issues with my soloing ability. I've gone with the pure magic build (9/1 M/S) and have the CMag tank, Mech Crab and P.Sawfly for pets. I can kill the mobs alright, but I have issues with large group aggro, and cannot seem to kill the bosses (especially frustrating since I want to continue my SC but can't manage to kill the Extra 39 quest bosses). My biggest issue with group aggro is that my tank will go in and start killing, but my pet healing somehow attracts aggro from any mobs that my tank isn't targeting.

Does anyone have some good tips for me here? I know that a Herc would help, but that's not an option yet (still trying to save money). I'd love to hear what others have done to continue their soloing.

    When you are lower levels, it is quite easy to solo those quest bosses. However as you level, some bosses are nearly impossible to solo unless you have a herc. As for mobs, try luring. There's a whole guide on luring but in short, summon a pet and make it attack a mob. As soon as it hits, unsummon your pet and the mob will come running towards you. Simply just summon your pet again and kill it xD.

    -.-" erm well bosses are really strong and so get a squad... high lvl people... a veno is not really so strong in soloing that they dont need help with bosses. So get a squad. I am not a high lvl veno, played it till 20 but yeah I know some venos who need help with boses. Erm about the large aggro mobs, I think you could lure one to you?

    In case you dont know, if you see a large group of aggro mobs, you send your pet and attk one just one of them. recall your pet and then then summon again. the aggro you hit would go to you then just send your pet to tank. That way, you wont have huge numbers of mobs after you.

    If you have a group of mobs that your pet can handle, you need to make sure your pet hits each one of them before you heal it. Target each one and manually make your pet attack each one before you do any healing. If your pet dies, they will be coming for you so make sure you know how many mobs you can handle at once.

    second poster is an idiot, youll need higher level friends to do quest bosses ~67 when bosses all of a sudden get weak for some reason lol. make sure your golem hits every mob once before healing if you catch more than one monster, ifnot, unsummon, run back some, resummon and continue fighting
