a simple question

[cheolis]

hey guys.
heard u can solo s10 gens.
just a simple question:
how? (im almost sure that gens can smash slayer)
and how fast? (compared to fixers for ex.)

[Gorathon]

Read other threads about it. Seems like 3 slayers per gen is a common number.

Make sure you aren't reading about s10 gens from before they removed the column

I've never done it, but I guess it's the same as soloing any other boss.
Chain casting pet heal and having a spare pet shell to use when your pets die, using cocoon to take a few hits if you get attacked in between.
I would guess it's a pretty tough task, and even the best euipped struggle to do it succesfully.

this is the problem. theres almost no info on s10 gens after the bounty nerf or how to kill em.

Which should say volumes? Most likely not worth the time / effort so people stopped doing it.

The thing I never understood here is why use an engineer... as noted there are other professions which will do it better, faster, stronger. (harder...) To the difficulty description on the character creation screen they should add 'only viable at 220', engineer is a great profession for pve at that level (and arguably 60-ish). Make your life easier and just roll a fixer.

This part simply applies for every situation .

even ga4 fixers cant solo the bosses without hiding. u cant root/snare em n go heal anymore, nowhere to hide either. any other proff is out of the question as well, as they need to actually tank em.

that leaves pet proffs to choose from, cuz they can have pets to tank for em.
i dont think mps can solo em, since their pets are kind of squishy.
crats may be able to do it with carlita, but as i said theres no info on it. (n i alrdy have 2 crats)
n ive heard of a few engi that were able to do it.

so here i am.

btw, i dont get why its not worth the time anymore. their loot table is just the same. (maybe cuz relays are a lil more expensive now, around 30m. but i think its still profitable)

This is a MMO forum!

Crat soloing would be incredibly slow if it is even possible. Just like eng.

Okay?

There is still a time vs reward element to gaming, everyone just has different levels but everyone has one. (for example I ran around for 5 hours last night farming crafting materials in a beta where my character is now deleted all to test the crafting further!) All I am simply saying is for his time vs reward (which it looks like he wants to farm sec10 generals) he/she would be better off using another profession for this, much in the same way you don't use 2he or 1hb on your engineer because it would give poor performance (you could do it this is MMO forum!) - but have fun with that one.

I am all for fun / unique setups (my favorite is still shotgun / pistol agent) - but some of them just don't work. Much in the same way 200 slayer does not work for sec10, its a 10 year old vanilla AO monster turned pet, give it more HD, AC-s and AAD and we might get somewhere - say why don't you get around to that Mr Profession relations? Oh wait, that program like everything else the AO team has concocted never went anywhere (and remember we're talking the MK 2 version).

u know, if the engi is a terrible idea, any other suggestions could help to.

soloing gens is the main thing, docs can do it maybe?

Maybe. Try here.

[Notcrattey]

I'm sure MP can probably manage it with agg management and clever deletion and recasting of pets.

[aramsunat]

crat and engi can both easily solo the boss if you play it right. the trick is getting to the boss areas, your ass gets nuked in 2 secs

make sure YOU hold aggro, so dont trim pets n stuff, and after a time, they gangbang the boss. but it makes no sense because it is so much easier with a fixer

Is this pre- or post- bounty nerf? I thought there was no problem with getting to the boss areas anymore, and why is boss soloing so much easier with fixer?

[aramsunat]

least hassle. your hp regenerates fully in a few seconds, and you can tank the boss for quite a while. even though the dd is lower, the less hiding makes up for it

I made a blinded blackbird + ofab hawk GA fixer with fullauto and burst, it was pretty fast to pew pew down the gen

How far in the past are you?

[Teeko]

Make a friend. its more profitable to find a good friend to pop relays with you that is a doc or something else the compliments your profession. Me and a friend do it with my crat and him on a doc. its not the fastest thing in the world but if i grab pnh i can chain nukes forever. and no way I lose agg while chain casting them. plus you can JLMN the boss and debuff them while they are calmed, then send pet in and start nuking, bot is extra damage while your tanking with evades. get in a tough spot and pop an AAD perk, your golden.
