    Cz's Guide to Superior Soloing

    Shevaya asked that I make a guide concerning my method of soloing since I have great success in that area in inferno and a different technique from hers. So here it is:

    First off, my guide is intended for a level 216+ crat soloing in Inferno using 'The Voice of One'... with the right implementation a crat can solo pretty much every mob in inferno and I'm here to explain how to do it with a high success rate and with minimal luck required.


    OK... There are three different encounters you will find in Inferno at these levels. I'll divide them into groups:
    1) 210 Bosses (Spirits, Spirit Hunters)
    2) Dragons
    3) 230 Bosses
    4) Nyame/Asase Ya Bosses

    The approach to all of these are the same but the key difference is how much you as the crat can do.
    1) 210 Bosses: feel free to go all out... nukes, shooting, pets (I seldom find a need to debuff)

    2) Dragons: Remain lax, these mobs tend to hit a bit and love to use their god given nukes. Debuff them to the hilt. Start working in on damage when the mob gets lower on health.

    3) 230 Bosses: Sit back, relax, let the pets do all the work... debuff them to the hilt

    4) Nyame/Asase Ya Bosses: Be Ready to perk and heal, don't attack, don't let debuffs run out on boss. Let pets do all the work but keep a close eye on their health bars.





    Now to get onto the meat of the issue
    Debuffs that you should be ready to run are:
    Improved Red Tape
    Malaise of Passion

    combined you will receive a debuff of:
    -813 to all initiatives
    -68 to damage
    with the potential for further debuffs on improved red tape, but those are the critical needs.



    Buffing Pets is Crucial to easy soloing:
    Pets should receive the following buffs and I suggest not deviate much from the pet combos I'm about to give you as they have their benefits:

    Pet#1 Asase Child / Notum Scourge (consider this your personal Enforcer)
    This pet does high damage and has very high hit points, but his ability to fetch aggro isn't the best (so he's an enforcer with no taunts =p)
    Improved Cut Red Tape
    Composite Physical Special Expertise (8 hours)
    Weapon Enhancement
    Motivational Speech: Heroic Measures

    Pet#2 Eremite / Cosset
    This Pet does good damage, but has an amazing ability to pull aggro
    DO NOT RUN BUFFS ON THIS PET, HIS AGGRESSIVENESS IS ALREADY TOO HIGH AND NEEDS TO BE TONED DOWN... this will help him survive the battles against the toughest mobs

    Pet#3 The Corporate Guardian
    Improved Cut Red Tape
    Composite Physical Special Expertise (8 hours)
    Weapon Enhancement
    Gallant Hero: The Vengeful Butler



    One of the biggest things to remember is to stand in a location where your Heroic Measures ONLY buffs the Notum Scourge / Asase's Child. Those two need as much help as they can get in fetching aggro and I've found the Heroic Measures is the best balance.



    Preparing for the attack:
    -Calm Minions DON'T run in Suicide Style.. I go suicide style on the Spirits and Spirit Hunters though, cause nothing there can touch me (I hope you all already know this)
    -Buff yourself with Heroic Measures, Improved CUt Red Tape
    (Other outside buffs always benefit, but if it's 'soloing' you want, you don't want to be having to find 5+ professions to buff you everytime you want to go 'solo')
    -Cast a back up Corporate Guardian (they like to die, so you will be casting these alot during the fight, but it's good that they are pulling aggro rather than you... it's the key to soloing mobs that can hit for 1500-6000 a hit.


    Attacking:
    Make sure Pets are under full Charms and Fully Buffed as above (21min+ on Notum Scourge, fresh ShortCharm on Eremite)
    Send in pets first and allow them to get initial aggro
    Follow with Malaise of Passion
    Follow with Improved Red Tape

    KEYS TO THE ATTACK
    1. If Eremite ever gets below half health, put it on follow...
    2. If Scourge/Asase's Child ever gets below 25% health put it on follow...
    3. Be ready to cast and recast Robot pets and Rebuff them.
    4. If Robot pet is below 50% health and there is under 30 seconds on Eremite Charm, Terminate Just the Corporate Guardian and get a backup out fast to tank while you recharm the eremite. Buff it to the hilt.
    5. When there is under 15 Seconds on the Short Term Charm use your perk 'puppeteer' on the Corporate Guardian to ensure he takes over til the eremite is ready to go again.
    6. NEVER RUN
    7. Watch for Adds
    8. Don't let debuffs wear off of the boss mobs



    TIPS AND TRICKS:
    • For Asase and Nyame Bosses use Radiation or Fire Reflect Bracer instead of Any other type....
    • Here's what I solo in and there's plenty of room to improve on my setup: Czarina Armor
    • Here's the main perks I feel are necessary for high success rate: PERKS



    Using these basic principals, I can go get a cup of coffee while I solo the 255 Incarnator... (if I have a back-up bot ready, and time on the short term charm)
    These allow me to Solo the Asase Ya Bosses with a 100% success rate, none have ever killed me
    These allow me to Solo the Nyame Bosses with a 90% success rate
    These allow me to Solo the 255 Incarnator Bosses (Ithaki, Crete, Spetses, etc) with a 100% success Rate
    I've solo'd everything in Inferno besides the Bigot mobs using the above.

    Just a note

    8 hour physical buff is kinda silly on the robot, it only lasts 1.

    Judging from her perks/layout and chosen positions as to where she stands in the battlefield i think

    *full def to have a chance at avoiding potential hits to

    *twink out on HP because random hits can frigging hurt. (round and about 10K or more HP i advise)

    *use CiB perk special when it looks really grim

    *be patient and take good care of pets...recharming a long charm because it died is very hard (doable but hard) and vs the asase ya/bigot/nyame bosses almost impossible.

    *hacked symbio-graft (lesser deflection shield(extended)) is your friend

    nice guide, a few things to add

    In order to survive the initial pull or nukes during the fight, get as much health delta and nano delta as possible, it makes your life a lot easier.

    Also, get a nano range deck items, which can also help a lot.

    For the initial pull using 'Dodge the blame' and 'Overrule' might also help depending on how confident you are in your own abilities and your breed/setup ofcourse.

    If you only have TMD / DTP, you can still solo a lot of boss in inferno.
    Having VOT only allows you to charm the mobs near ergo (tiigs, spiders) and anasis guardian (the lowest).

    My working setup with TMD / DTP is Anasis Cosset + Spinetooth + Corporate guardian

    The Spinetooth has a lot of HP and decent damage output but no aggro ability.
    The anasis Cosset aggro for you, keeping you safe.

    Just follow the Czarina tips for the battle, dont forget to put Cosset on follow often.

    The little difference with boss that have a lot of HP is that you can use DTP on both mobs when TMD runs off.

    NERF! I cant even do that on my doc. Certainly not at those rates of success.

    My experience has been that its also pretty nice to have Enhance DNA and First Aid perked for the HoT and heal if you get in a tight situation.

    Huhu ...

    there was sad to "NEVER RUN". Why ?? Takes runnig agro?
    What should I do instead ?? ... Walking ? ...

    I tried by my self to solo in Inferno. I'm now at lvl 210. All the time i get agro. Only for some moments, before my Pets can get it back, but often i die before.
    Is this because i 'run' ... or do i need to stand in the back ob the mob, or maybe, Its normal, an i only need more HPs and Evades /addAllDeff ??
