like im a 81 with herc veno, can i solo a TT1-3 ?

and can a lvl 90 herc veno solo TT3-1
and lvl99 solo 3-2 or 3-3 ?

Herc Veno can solo pretty much 90% of the game, rest requires a squad.

3-3 probably cannot be soloed by ANY class due to the insane difficulty of the last boss. He will oneshot your herc.

That brings up very unsettling yet hilarious mental images.

FBs: All of them all the way up FB69's Polearm (and of course the turtle boss in the water.) You might want to be 85+ though. You can solo FB79, but Loon will be difficult, he's one of the hardest hitting bosses in that FB. Brigand hits fast and a little hard, amp is easy to squeak in though. FB89 (both) you can solo those bosses at 90+ (that's just for safety).

TT: You can solo 3-1 easily, but you will have to spam heal and it will take you ages in squad mode going solo with your herc. 3-2/3 are insanely hard, I went on one 3-3 run once, bosses in there have long range sleep/stun aoes. You should be able to solo many of the lower TT bosses as well.

FL: No idea, never been.

in theory you can solo most of the game with very few boss exceptions. anything that debuffs defence or hits a herc for over 4k are things you cant solo.

also keep in mind solo = you gotta get past the mobs alone too. in tt 1-x they're too mobby for me so i dont solo it ever.

so what it really comes down to is the individual. people've told me i cant solo cosmo, but past a certain lvl i now can, where they maintain that "no u cant". likewise, i cant take on those 1-x mobs alone, yet they can. so get some angels, and go try it for yourself. only you can figure out your own limits.

The TT1-# series is the easiest series a Veno can solo. In the 90s I expect a Veno, with the proper build, can solo 1-1/2. I should be able to solo 1-3 now. (I'm not talking solo mode, I'm talking squad mode as I think most of us are.) The mobs in 1-1 are easy. You can tank all of them in one room on the herc. I haven't tried solo 1-2/3 yet. I might do that soon, but bring a cleric with me just in case Drummer or Soulbanish start to look a little rough on my HP charm. (Don't get cocky about Drummer, he's the hardest hitting boss in this TT series. Only a 90+ herc can tank Drummer, but you might next extra heal or around -30% chan.)

In the TT2-# series, this one is tricky. In 2-1 squad mode a veno can solo all of the bosses except for Forshura (possibly Feng too). In 2-2/3 the herc can tank everything but Ape and Forshura. However, the last time I ran a 2-3, it was my herc that tanked every boss except Forshura until it died. There was a second veno in the squad that would not help do anything but DD. So I will say, at some point, you can probably solo tank 2-2/3 Ape. Soloing Astral is all a matter of positioning the boss so you only get two of the adds.

Any veno can solo TT1-1/1-2/1-3 at like lvl 85 (except Soulbanisher) and for Ape u need 2 venos one to purge and help heal unless u have super good chan.As for 2-2/2-3 astral easy i've done it with freinds veno not hard for anyone to do.

Gaur and Polearm are not easy at the OP's lvl at all. I wouldn't find it justifiable to even try unless you just lvl'd. I saw a high 70s/low80s veno w/Griefs soloing Silver Frost a very short while ago as I was going to help some people, so bosses can be fun. Unless wined AND charmed, FB79 will be almost pointless to do at your lvl as the monsters you are pulling are very fast (to fast for you to re-summon without being hit or even be able to genie skill hit and kite without being hit, yourself), kite, hit very hard on a squishy veno (like 700-1300 dmg) and have a rather large aggro range, so not the most reasonable thing to do whatsoever (i.e. you can probably do it but it's gonna be so risky and costly that it's kinda dumb to try). For TT, solo most bosses up to your lvl's quests with the only real exceptions being those with AOE hitting too hard for you to reasonably survive.

unwined bh/fb79 with one veno and 1 cleric + 4 DDs = NIGHTMARE. Herc cannot aggro multiple mobs, and DDs like to go crazy in there. b:infuriated

And, those archers that run dont help one bit...

Oh yea, on topic, fb79 is easy as hell to solo. Even a lvl 70 veno with herc can solo (wined) or unwined if they have hours and hours to kill.

BM stuns in fb79 really helps against those pesky archers.

I heard you can duel TT80 with a Cleric not sure if it is 3-3.

1-1/2 SURE, Herc will get 1 shot just before drum boss dies on 1-3. I've been with level 85 veno with -40% channeling and she couldn't do it. 2-1/2-2 is the best to solo in my opinion. Quite easy, too.

TT 1-1 no problem here
TT 1-2 Forget soulbanish, and be prepared to tick the charm a few times
TT 1-3 Forget Soulban and Drummer

With Soulbanisher and Drummer, it's all a matter of distance. There was one time I ran suicide 1-3 with Teny and Momento and for some reason we never got hit by Soulbanisher's aoe. We were standing at the max range, respectively, for our heal/attack skills. I can't explain why Soulbanisher never hit us because I know he's got an extremely long-ranged aoe. However, if you're worried about getting hit too hard or charm tick, then bring a cleric with you. That would be the best run because you're only splitting mats with one player and you get a DD out of it on bosses that don't aoe.

TT 2-1 real easy, just forget Wurlord, feng will make your charm tick a few times (first time done at 76-78 can be done before)
TT 2-2 forget wurlord, Feng is a pain in the @.. Cosmo too.. try to have some friends coming to help, second veno and cleric
TT 2-3 Forget wurlord, Feng and cosmo, the ape can kill herc once in a while, so be prepared.

I have heard that 90+ Venos with hercs can do the 2-1 Forshura. I don't know if that's solo or with a second heal. The only time I saw a veno tanking Forshura was in my 70s and she was in her 80s. There was another veno already with her and it took three of use spamming to keep her pet up and I don't remember, but I think this was before hercs. There accidents that day, but it was interesting.

In my opinion, Feng's AoE doesn't hit overly hard, it's the debuff from him that's a pain in the ****. I say this because if a 2-3 AoE from Feng only hits me for 300-400 damage with BB up, it's nothing a pot can't handle.

Cosmo will be the tricky one. A veno will need excellent channeling reduction and when that fails, use Relentless Courage (genie skill) or an channel reducing pot (something like Windrage Incense). I love Windrage because it often allows me to squeak in an amp in the 3-# series, but I also use it when I'm lagging a bit on heals and need to catch up fast.

TT 3-1 easy as pie at 88, just needs lots of pots (Forget Djinn if solo, duotable @90 with sage skills) If you dont do djinn, you wont get Deathflow
TT 3-2 harder than 3-1, Coredash can be done solo, djinn needs some help (done with 2 lower lvl venos) Deathflow.. easy... forget the rest.

TT 3-3 is harder.

The first time I tanked 3-1 was at L84 because a guildie made me do it. He told me L80+ Herc Venos can do it, so I trusted him with that. There were no accidents, thankfully, but this was a place where I got impatient with slow DDing and used a pot to squeak in an amp then jump back on healing.

Djinnscream is beastly. Sure, he only hits 1s or 200s now and again, but when you get past four minutes you become a one hit wonder. (The first time meeting him in a TT3-1 squad was funny. We ran out of time and 3-4 members of the squad died. b:chuckle)

3-2/3 Bosses are pure hell. I thought I hated the bosses in the FB89s and FB99s, but in the higher portions of this series these bosses have the most awful aoes (sleep and stun). On top of that, they are long range. Not to mention, the mobs after the first few bosses give you hell reaching the ones in the back.

At 85 or so I still couldn't handle Jewel. I was able to take the AE by spamming potions, but believe it or not, my pet was the weak link. I tried with a nix, and I tried pulling to the ground and using a herc.

3-1 timed is likely doable eventually, I don't think it would take 100+. At 1.4 million HP it would be about the same hp as Vipenalt: Chronol. If you want a practice run, go try that. If you can do it in say 5.5 minutes or less (since it's wood and you have to actually heal the pet) you should be good.

Another possible test mob looks to be Chintien: Dimensic at 1.1 mil hp. If you can do that in 4 minutes you're probably good for 3-1 as well.

As for the accuracy trick, you can't use it anymore if solo, and even if you could it would be very hectic between using a pet that can shriek to interrupt spells, and keeping both of your debuffs on. Since they changed genies though, you either need a 60 str/60 dex/108 magic genie or two 60 str/60 dex/29 magic genies.

2-1 Forshura might be doable with the Lightning Chaser skill on Genie. That skill is a must for Belial squads anyway. This will allow practice with getting the timing right to interrupt. If you think your herc is going to drop, I hope you cleared mobs on the way in so you have a straight getaway with HP (and possibly Demon Fox Form shifting).

Gaurnob is completely doable at 85+. The debuff from Polearm will kill herc every time. FB99 requires a squad since the bosses in there have wicked AoEs. Torment has AoE stun bosses, Abaddon just had evil hard-hitting AoEs.

Of course not! Especially if they get something nice out of it. TT bosses do physical AoE as well, so that's why they sometimes go squish. Squads normally ask for bramble guard on AoE bosses since damage will reflect back.
