Double holy path, psy will, kill. Vacuity, double holy path again, stop before boss, psy will, kill. Triple spark and kill boss, frogs. No sweat. Get a purify weapon and you can skip the vacuity.

Can a 100 psy solo pv? I have a g16 sphere and full g15 everything else. Heart of the jungle:sky belt, sky pearl neck, sign of antiquities and cloud stir rings 4775 HP unbuffed, 2300 p.def. 9k-12k mag attk, 105 attk levels in BV with jones. Need more info, I will provide.

Is it possible for me or would it take forever and I need a group?

2300 pdef what; that's ridiculously low; what are your refines like?

>A very cheap looking G15 psy: http://pwcalc.com/0ca92af420c9d3d4

and lol at people using R9rr psy as example of how a G15 armor psy can solo PV

pwcalc please

It probably won't end well.

There is actually some room in PV to test. If you run in the opposite direction of the mobs at the start there is some open space there.

You can:
- Turn on your damage log
- Agro a few mobs by walking close and then run toward the empty space by the start area (you will probably get 3-5 mobs following you)
- When you are far enough away from the other mobs, kill the ones you pulled using whatever strategy you would use for a whole group (i.e. use only AoEs, use whatever damage reduction you would normally use)
- When the mobs are dead, look at your damage log and add up the total number of points of damage you took while killing them.

My guess is you probably wont even survive this small pull. The mobs will deal probably 500+ damage each time they hit you. (With full buffs I have just under 20k physical defense and 54 defense levels and they hit me around 100 damage each.) You would be better off soloing FC for XP, since you could probably finish that faster and use a lot less hyper time.

I still prefer FC myself because it is a lot cheaper in terms of repairs and potions. (I can do FC without any charm ticks or HP potions and it's about 20-30k repairs per run. PV costs me usually 100k+ HP off charm, a handful of crab meats and about 300k coins in repairs for 3-4 runs on a token.)

What everyone has said so far is basically right.
Psychic will is a powerful skill that not enough people realize makes ANYONE invincible (be it for a short time), no matter their gear. With enough gusto, we can kill most mobs in this amount of time.

I will also agree that your physical defense and HP are going to be too low to solo PV on a level that will make it worth your time/repairs. Physical defense is big in Nix, because if you don't kill before your will is up, they're gonna be hammering you with phys attacks.

Gearwise, I would suggest trying to refind you ornaments to +5/6 (it's generally doable for most people or you find a refine genie and ask them to do it for you). Also, what rings are you using? I find that too many psychics chose to use magical rings. While this may give a bit of a damage boost, I'm a bigger fan of staying alive than seeing slightly higher damage when things will die either way. We also don't need channeling ><' Physical rings up to 5/6 will help a good bit as well. Not sure what your shards are or if you're in end game, but I can give a few more bits of advice if you're interested.

As for now if you're trying to level, don't be afraid to seek out a squad or another solid player to do it with. A good class I found to do Nix with are the infamous seekers. The only problem with going with a seeker, is trying to find one to go with. Most can handle it alone due to the blasphemy of bloodpaint. A benefit you can present to a seeker to get them to let you tag along is to offer SoV (they love it) as well as additional instance opens from you/your possible alts. If you go with a seeker or BM that is going to be tanking the mobs, keep SoV on them and keep SoS on yourself to increase your survivability.

Again, they were right if Nix is presenting a problem, hit up Valley of the Scarred. The mobs right near the enterance are easy kills. Group up the lot, will it and 3 AOEs should get most of them. Not only will you get the exp, but lotsa money and cards you can either use to farm or sell to those who do card bosses.

Cant remember the name of the apoth i used on her, it gave 100 % moving speed and immune to stuns.

shadowbinder? it also gives immunity to movement debuffs

lol... if you have daily faction base quests... and are doing daily morai and crazy stones quests... PV... is ABSOLUTELY worth doing...

I just did for the first time ever (just never bothered before)... get buffs from cleric at least... and barb... and bm... or grab base buffs if available to ya...

make sure all of your buffs are up... holy path through a few mobs then fall back a bit to get them all nice around you... PSY WILL... Earth Vector... Aqua Cannon... Sandblast Burst... Glacial Shards... finish off with whatever you got, preferably aoe spells...

IF after glacial shards you feel uncomfortable, holy path back and crystal light... rinse and repeat... You do not need to attempt what an r9rr did... just lol... b:chuckle

As long as you take a little bit of time to see what you can handle, it will be worth doing at 100+ solo. Unless of course you are one of the lazy types. Hope this helps b:victory

do whatever you like with the chain, its really just about aoe's and immunity or stuns or lowering accuracy and figuring out what you are comfortable with or capable of... if i had the 100 culti spells, those woulda been added in too i would guess... personally you tweak what you like, and ill tweak what i like... "you know, constricts the capillaries" b:dirty

The reason is probably just to have the stun near the end of psychic will, to have them stunned when you have no immunity. The stun right after psychic will kinda kills the purpose of the stun and "wastes" a spark just for damage.

yep. speaking of lvl 100 spells, while the stone smasher is really flashy, you don't really want to waste two sparks on it
