Hi Venomancers.

I'm looking to try my hand at soloing some dungeons with my Venomancer, because...well, from what I understand, we can. I'm wondering if it's possible for a Venomancer, level 19-22, to solo any of the FB19 dungeons without using a Baby Hercules pet?

If it is possible, some basic information on what I'm going to need would be good. If not, a simple no will suffice. Thanks in advance.

    If memory serves, I started soloing fb19s on my veno alt with a crystal mag at lvl 26 or so. Certainly well before I hit 30. Just requires patience.

    I just did my FB19 at level 21 (levelling to 22 on the mobs in the boss room) on my Raging Tide veno alt; soloed the first room and a bit further (popping out periodically to try to find a low level squad) with a glacial walker, finally squadded with a 20 barb that was helping with darkbreeds while waiting for a squad outside for his FB. We managed to get about 10% off Rend before both the barb and my pet died (Rend reset after getting stuck on a wall in the zigzag room while chasing me.)

    I understand it is possible to solo at 19-21 with a magmite (and probably now a walker) if you have tough and frighten on it, and kite the boss.

    In the same aspect I dont see much point in soloing fb19, you have drops worth what? 60k, and you have some costs even though their minimal (repairs, pots, etc)
    It would give you more xp and more coin just grinding/questing..

    Chobsi, I mostly want to solo them just because I think it'll be fun. On top of that I do like to keep my gear as current as it can be, and since I level slowly already the Molds that drop would last me a decent amount of time.

    Well.
    If you took the amount of time to do fb19 pre-30ish, with luring every mob.
    You probably could've level 3+ times by then.
    So you shouldnt be leveling slowly if you have the time to solo fb19 that low

    It'll be fun for a bit but trust me you wont want to solo it a lot.
    Luring mob after mob after mob
    then a long boss battle
    Is not that that much fun b:chuckle

    Yeah, I'd imagine it'd get tedious after a bit.

    So what you're telling me is that for FB19, there's a difficulty curve that drops after level 30?

    Well, you 29 you get your spark so added damage, you get a new pet heal in the early 30s which means you can throw in some more spells. Also if your smart enough you'll have an amp by 33 that lasts 10 seconds, so you can actually get some in instead of most venos pre-TT with the amp that lasts 1 spell.

    For fb19, I would distinguish between fighting the monsters and fighting the boss. You can do fine against the monsters if you have a good magic attack (put a sapphire or two in your purple weapon and wear good magic rings and are pure arcane). But that boss would need a herc or some levels.

    FB's are fun to try as you level but not worth doing constantly as a money source.

    The only one I will do for factioners/randoms are 29 since it super quick.

    frankieraye:All right, I admit it, it's a bit retro. lol.
