Which bosses can a level early 60s veno tank with a golem of the same level?

I've tried Kimsa and even with 2 venoes healing, the golem's health goes down way too fast to keep him alive.

If your veno or if you have seen a veno successfully tank any of the bosses, including the lower level ones like Dismal, please let me know here. Hercs not included. b:chuckle

    I tanked Luminoc Architect and all 3 bosses before him with a 54 golem. You're using too few venos. In order to do them, you need 4 to 5, preferably with cleric buff. Most bosses can be done with same level pet with enough venos. Just takes some massive spamming. And agreements on who is doing what.

    Thanks. That's good to know. I've heard many people requesting help with bosses but wasn't sure I was able to help them. At least now I know which ones I can attempt.

    Nope. All 5 of us just kept using heal pet. We had all sent our respective golems after him to hurt him fast enough that we didn't all run out of MP, though. It's my faction's usual boss policy, really. Our best members are mostly venos. A couple of them are pure mage, some light armor, and we have a melee veno, but it works extremely well when we have the mages in there.

    If you're going to have an entire team of venos spamming one tank, then you can probably tank any boss that doesn't have a severe defense/hp buff. Seeing as you can't purify your pet, any boss like Krimson that depends on a cleric's purifying debuffs is probably not going to work well. AOE is also a factor, of course.

    Yeah. AoE and other bosses require a little finesse. Slither was a downright pain for us. We eventually ended up with a plan, though. I stood in front of him, firing spells, with a cleric as far away as he could be to take care of me, several clerics behind him to cover him while being out of AoE range, and a veno spamming heal pet on her flying pet to get a spark to give to clerics. At the same time, we had another veno killing all the little snakes that decided I was dinner.

    Actually he was pretty easy till he started running, then we lost a golem and luckily knew which one would pull aggro next. By no means did we do it on the first try we had a few casualties but eventually we pulled it off.

    You can do some of the AoE bosses solo if you use the eldergoth marksman.

    Why? At your level, you should know better than me the capabilities of the veno.
