I am a 57 PAL, with a bunch of aa (see my magelo), not uberly equiped but quite correct in my humble opinion...
To give you an idea, self buffed (except for KEI) I solo easy in Velks anything on the ground, (even fierce, that would suck all my mana pool though)...
I tryed Fungus Grove, thinking Xp would be better, and willing to grab some stuff to bake Lotus pies.
The first Lotus from Echo Cavern i could take without difficulty. The second and third too...
Stun is your friend here...
Feeling confident, I tryed to take the next one.
made a few mistakes there :
- he had a friend in aggro distance
- I wasn't full mana
- My self haste was about to fade
- I hadn't memmed Cancel magic to debuff it
- my Lay Hand wasn't up (had to use it on a previous bad pull on Small Mushrooms family... 6 of them nuking/stuning/bashing my ass on the way to zoneline... a piece of advice : pacify pull them!)
I couldn't stun the 2 of them, even the closest could throw some nukes while i was trying to heal...
All their nuke weren't landing, but some did, and they do some serious damage (lots in the 250's, some 450's, maybe a few in the 600's)...
Well, try it solo at 59+ or bring some friends unless you want to have a fast trip to your bind point!
