I have a level 26 barb and a friend has a lvl 23 Veno and we were thinkin about doing 19 runs. Just looking for opinion on whether or not we are going on a suicide mission. I am thinkin drops should be decent if we can pull it off, and being that I only use my barb for lower level drops and farming mats anyway...Well, what do you think?

    Find a Cleric just in case.....but there is nothing that says the two of you can't do it.

    It just might take longer and you will have to be careful about aggro'ing more then a few mobs.

    If your veno has a fairly fast pet and knows how to "pull", then you can take the mobs on in groups of 1-2. I noticed that some tend to stay together no matter what.

    Um, yeah, she can pull fine. She has a wolf...dunno what one, and a golem. I notice the same thing about mobs traveling in packs sometimes, and that is my biggest concern. I know I can tank one or two mobs, I will just be in trouble if there are more.

    I figure if we are both on tonight, we will try. I could maybe find a cleric who would be willing, but being only fb19 runs...might be hard.

    Yes, bring a cleric if you intend to go after Rend since the veno's pet will probably get flattened no matter what she does, or what pet it is. If you only want to clear the mobs there out, the veno can solo everything else, even the Blackhand Adalwolves. A level 21 veno should be able to clear everything short of the boss at the end.


    Before you ask, I did just that using a Scorpion (with tough), a Wolf and a Cactopod at level 21.

    K,
    as far as the boss. My initial thoughts would be that I would let the golem tank and the veno spam heal, until it looked like she was getting squished then I would try to pull agro with my barb.

    I will try to find a cleric. Boss is my concern. Mobs, I think we can handle, just slowly. My barb does have a bronze charm, and I would be pumping life power and hp pots...But I am still a little unsure about getting it done. And If we made it to the boss only to die...it just defeats the purpose.

    Depending on the lvl of the veno's pet, you might be better off tanking. The cleric can spam heal if needed and the veno can assist.

    If you get to the boss, and the golem dies, and the cleric cannot keep the barb up, or the boss aggros onto the veno, run back through the instance. The boss should leash about halfway back.


    Or have the veno or barb run around in circles while everyone else nukes the boss.

    Some characters tank bosses by standing there and taking damage.

    Others tank bosses by running around screaming "GET IT OFF ME GET IT OFF ME" while everyone else attacks it.

    Well, the fb mobs won't be a problem. The tricky part will be the boss. A lvl26 barb can't hold him without a cleric, nor can a lvl23 golem (even think a herc won't make it).

    Indeed the best option would be: having Rend kill the pet, then for the barb to take aggro and have the veno revive + heal the pet, but then comes the problem: You won't have Rend killed by that time, so you need to alter aggro again so the barb can get his hp back. However, once you have aggro, you won't lose it that easily to a pet.

    However, your idea sounds fun :p Please post when you tried it. I would like to know if you made it or not.

    Find a cleric or drops will not pay your charms. I'm running fb19 alone with lvl 32 veno and it is not a problem at that level. It just takes time. I have reduced drop rate to 70% of normal and 30% of the time I see only gold drops. As you are lvl 26, you will see gold drops only 10% of the time, if you manage to kill the boss.

    If you want to do it without a cleric, level first to 29 at least.

    A barb in tiger form should be able to outrun Rend allowing the cleric to heal him back up, and the veno can keep attacking. If the golem looks on the brink the veno can unsummon it, and re-summon it.

    Cleric? They don't have one. They have only barb and veno. And they should have a cleric at their levels.

    We did nt get to it this weekend, I am hoping to try tonight. We do have a cleric if one is needed. I found someone willing to go with us. My barb is level 27 now, not a huge difference but...

    Anyway, I do think we will be taking a cleric with us. I did use my barb on a fb19 this weekend, just testing if I had enough hp to last with rend. And I did need to be healed. So, that kinda made up my mind, especially since we had a Mid 40 Archer and Wizard doing most of the damage.

    Thank you for all your posts and I will let you know how it works out
