I have...without APS even, and APS is great on bosses. It's not too difficult if you're fully buffed.

APS is great on bosses...
Have you ever seen SoT BH boss?

Jaabg - Sanctuary

Yes, requires a large hp pool, not worth the effort though, takes too long for us.

I_am_noob - Dreamweaver

uff yes Seathos aps dont work so great on that boss xD
even sin had some trouble but was quite easy for veno, archer and seeker thou

If you want I will get Skai to record me soloing SoT and Abaddon boss self buffed with sage bp. It takes a little while but it's not bad for me.

Never tried it when I had APS...Probably why I didn't realize it :P

But yes, it's fairly simple...

APS+BP works, just takes a while, some crab meat, expect some charm ticks.

Axe Spam on the other hand is fairly easy. Issue is some heals, crabmeat and expect some charm ticks, but I had less than doing it with APS.

As said above, key is the HP pool. But going in fully buffed is what matters. So far Ive had mixed results with pmarrow but some swear by it.

All in all, key is HFing as often as possible. I don't recommend purge pole.

Aba boss is even easier if you have decent MR and HP pool.

It's possible, I've done both. Not by choice, just everyone died for ??? reason and I decided to **** around while kiting.

Zarkin_Baxil - Raging Tide

OK I just soloed SoT boss with Skai recording it. He should post it soon.

Titpics or its a dude. Rules of online gaming.

I kind of consider everyone I play with asexual anyways. Thats why I don't understand how people can online 'date' faceless, sexless people.

*removes entire post*... I guess 4 days of watching my son with under 4 hours a sleep a night caught up. Maybe it was the double Aba BHs but even though I knew this was a SoT thread I wrote a quick guide on soloing Aba not Seat. Removed.

Anyways, with pro aps dd you can solo with the boss buffing only 2-3 times. During his buff period phys marrow and spam bell to take less damage. Spark before the buff wears off to get in more attack time.

I think its doable with your HP, but I really suggest axe spam over APS...unless you have a pro squad.

Personally for SoT I prefer the Archer/Psy/Wizzie squad. 2-3 of those that are OP finish that boss in 20 seconds or less with enough HF/EP/Mire/Subsea on it.

Aba I prefer full APS or with the heavy range DDs again. HF/EP/Mire/Subsea and its dead in less than 20 seconds.

Venos make both bosses pointless to worry about.

Sub-optimal I feel that SoT use axe spam, and Aba just stop attacking when it red-ball buffs - APS or Axe spam works fine. Both solo Ive preferred like a round of APS to start (or straight axe spam on the SoT boss), and utilize a mdef charm. I agree Phys marrow works well on SoT boss but to be honest he never lasts long enough even with a sub-optimal squad for it to truly make a huge difference.

Typically I expect 0-2 charm ticks on each boss. 2-3 charm ticks clearing Aba the fun way, and 0-2 charm ticks clearing SoT the fun way. The fun way is AOE, unfortunately Aba is tougher due to the silencers and stunners. The ampers in SoT are stunned or dead quick. Even people with decent refines (+7) in mixed nirvvy and TT99 can do the fun way if they're good about their pull strategies.

I've stated many times that I'm a guy

I even have audio commentary on some of my videos. But yes, I play a female toon, love ponies, and am straight.

Hard to believe, but my words is all you can get xD Anywho editing the video now for Zarkin.

Edit: Here it is! I hope you enjoy.

Yup looks about right with the skill spam. Ask him what skills he was using, he looks like he was missing a few of the quickies.

I miss a lot because my dex is really low. My dex is 141 and my accuracy is 3100. I use a macro so I can use apoth or def charms when needed. I think the macro is aeolian blade, fan of flames, drakes sweep, oceans edge, stream strike, drakes ray or something like that. To lazy to log in and look at it. My charm would have ticked less if I didn't run out of hp pots at the start of the fight. My charm usually ticks 3-5 times if I have apoth and I don't zone out and forget what I'm doing.b:surrender

I see you don't actually stop when he is healing. Doesn't seem to matter that much, but he still gains like 50k instead of losing it because of that.

Is that for the BP, or just because you are not paying attention?

Zarkin_Baxil - Raging Tide

I don't stop for a few reasons. 1 is for the bp heals, the other is to build chi. Also if I have enough chi for spark and don't need to use CE then I use mire and it's a wash with damage and the bosses hp regen. I use my chi mostly for tripple spark and sutra to help with apoth healing (no one like charm ticks). That was a good fight that time for the boss. I didn't have hp pots after the 1st min and he would bleed me when I had almost no chi to tripple spark purge it.

Sirrobert - Dreamweaver

Well as long as you thought about it b:chuckle
I see way to many people just keep hitting it (mostly APSers, o big suprise), destroying half of the squads work simply because they are not paying attention, or don't care

Okay was just curious cause the order looked weird to me I guess.

Typically Im using my TW hope-for-crit/zerk combo macro:

Drake Ray, Drake Sweep, Fan, Tiger Maw, Draw Blood, Aeolian.

I think I should mix in some Oceans Edge and Stream Strike for PvE. Maybe at least stream strike since it hits pretty hard and does some aggro. Or switch those two in for Aeolian since its slow and ideally that was a finisher. Hmmm.

Zarkin_Baxil - Raging Tide

I will log later and post the full macro because now I need to remember what it is.b:laugh I use that macro for everything, pve and pvp. The only pvp I use it for is 1 v 1 since I use the same logic of it allows me to pot or def charm when needed. TW is a whole nother ball game and I never macro for that. I have 4 macros if I remember correctly. 1 is that sort of catch all one that I used for the SoT boss. The other is an aoe macro for delta, the other is 1 that uses reel in. And the last one, yea I have no idea. I think I made that for faction trials, shows how much we do thoes.

It's the only macro I have, everything else I've got down to button mashing and facerolling just fine. I used to have two others that split that one up into timing for Roar and DB stun recycle, but it just fell outta use as Id just interrupt the macro as needed.

But I wouldn't mind a better PvE specific one to try. This has me thinkin.

Zarkin_Baxil - Raging Tide

OK here is the macro I use the most: Walk around -> Aeolian blade -> fan of flames -> drakes sweep -> Stream Strike -> drakes ray -> Draw blood -> oceans edge. I think I made it that way because of how the cool down and cast times sinc up. It's not the best for building chi since some of thoes skills use chi but it works for me.

Hence "Viscious Bronies Brohoof".

Nice video, great quality.

I'd be curious on Zarkin's axe refines and if he's tried pmarrowing the whole time. Not even sure if the boss has a magic attack (seems like he has a close frontal aoe and a second weaker aoe with more range thats magic) but since his attack, his harder aoe, and the bleed are all phys I'm wondering if it'd make a positive difference or if marrowing would **** you from a magic attack.

Zarkin_Baxil - Raging Tide

Axes are r9 +12 with 2 g12 ambers. I think that boss is all phys attacks, but being sage I almost never marrrow unless I know for sure Im only taking 1 type of damage. Next time that bh comes around I'll p marrow and see what happens.

In that video, you're an LA with 31 def levels by your calc, have 10k hp and aren't buffed. He has +12 R9 axes, and I didn't see any defensive apoth or genie skills fire. He also stunned you
