Question about TT and a tiny ? about build

Thiede - Dreamweaver

Let me start this by saying that I'm a barb at heart (w/a lvl 56 veno)...I flesh ream while everybody behind me does their thing. EZPZ. This veno thing is hard as hell. Watch the pets HP, watch my hp, watch mp, don't steal aggro from the pet, watch for respawning mobs...good god! All still very new to me 56 lvls later. While I'm far from a noob...I feel like a noob when I'm playing my veno. It's very hard to not go plowing into 3 or 4 mobs; I have to stop myself and pull out another pet and pull on...then pull out the first pet...so slow...anyways, I digress. To the point.

I know that a veno can solo TT runs...I'm quickly approaching lvl 60 with my veno. I'm an arcane build. I have roughly 30 vit (pure), just enough str to use my wep all other is in mag.

On that char I quest with a blademaster...we're never separate; if there's one of us in the squad, we're both there. Anyways, my question is will this make it impossible to 'solo' TT runs? Obviously it will not be soloing if it's not just me and the herc, but for lack of a better term... As long as we practice good aggro management and don't go plowing in like the barbs that we both are at heart, we should be fine, right? Of course, I'm talking solo mode at lvl 60 with just the 2 of us (3 if you include the big fat yellow guy that follows me around). I know it's not great drops but it's better than nothing and there's a possibility of something decent. We could work on getting a squad on the way to the drum boss if the drops are crappy from the first boss, no big deal. We're not in a faction so it's difficult for us to get squads together for such stuff. BH is difficult because we're unsure exactly what we can and can't solo with our herc and don't relish the idea of dying.

Also, while I have your attention...would you recommend more vit? I do not plan on PvP (I'm on a PvE server w/my veno too). Possibly TW if I join a faction, but I'm not even in one atm so I really don't care about TW. I don't plan on going into PK mode on this char, had enough of getting ganked on my barb.

Thanks in advance for you advice and help. Any info you guys have is greatly appreciated.

My advice is to just go do it. ^^ Honestly. It's not hard. And yeah playing a veno is a difficult task. Don't let anyone ever tell you its easy to play and effective veno. Sure point, click, send pet, shoot, kill. Is easy, but doign things liek soloing bosses and Instances is hard. Even with a party. And being low on Magic as I am you ahve to time your pet heals on herc. One missed heal and its Good Game. lol

I would think you have nothing to worry about, a Blademaster if they are your level cannot really out damage you and your pet. I would only suggest that when you are first starting out only heal your pet don't try to add other skills until you are comfortable enough to know the damage output of the TT bosses. Also, as a warning soloing a TT is a LONG LONG process. You're looking at over double the time of a squad run. If you go on those, take three people with you. I usually grab a Cleric, Archer, BM, myself. ^^

When fighting mobs 1v1, the BM really wont steal aggro unless they go beserk and double spark and everything. The only problem is when there is more than 1 mob, herc cant keep aggro on all of them efficiently. On TT bosses, the BM or other DDs can go full out after the first few bashes.

Oh yea, dont do TT1-1 solo mode, chances are, with 2 people, you wont even break even.

I'm a pure magic veno myself, (5 base vit, 33 including gear). The only bosses I had trouble with at lower levels were soulbanisher when he got down to low hp. His AOE would often 1 hit KO me. (This is squad mode). You might be able to survive his AOE if you gem/refine some items, I didnt because I saved till my 8x gear to begin refining. Your low hp should be just fine. Stay on the lookout for +phy.def or +hp gear and keep using physical defense ornaments and you'll be fine.
