Killing Slixin Klex as a 57 Magician

I just killed Slixin Klex for the first time. I used three of my 57 Earth pets on him. I did no direct damage and casted no heals except for last pet when I saw I'd win. Smiley: grin

. I only casted Burnout IV and Cadeau of Flame as pet buffs. At around 20% pet health I started to cast the next one with "/pet get lost" typed and waiting for the return key. Smiley: smile

Of course no Dirt of Underfoot. Smiley: bah

<EDIT>
As mentioned before: The hornets around there can be annoying so you might want to have a close look at the surrounding while fighting Klex.
(You can outrun the hornets with the cheapest horse, so it might be a good idea to get your mount. Smiley: smile

)

I've been having my Necro kill this guy while my Mage is camped nearby, since the Necro can handle the annoying green and light blue adds better. To save having to kite him around I've been using Dooming Darkness, Paralysing Earth, Splurt and Pyro, refreshing the DoTs when they run out and throwing on Bond of Death as required to heal from Demi Lich: normally he breaks the root once before dying but hasn't resisted anything yet.

Eight kills and no Mage drop so far... hope it turns up soon!

Edit: cool, 10th kill it finally dropped, and I got Tarbul Earthstrider with my Mage the same day :).

Also, as well as the Coin of Xev and the Dirt, he dropped a Staff Shard of Luclin:

Ummm yeah listen noob if someone wants to camp him for loot and EXP let them maybe you should focus yourself on things that might help ppl more than any stupid thought that cross's your mind. Im a mage and i hunted him for my epic. Hes an easy kill at 57 and theres plenty to do in the zone at that level to occupy your time till he pops again.

Ok, at the convincing of the 45 Paladin friend I was traveling with, we attacked Slixin (I was lvl 49). I had the 49 earth pet fully equipped with summoned daggers, defender, and plate. I also had BO3, LS, and Storm giant strength on him (just got a beard from GD). My paladin friend, Strydaer and I both had KEI. I pulled with a Malisement, then sent in pet. Paladin stayed back through half the fight ready to heal my pet. I waited for my pet to take him down a full bubble, then cast Lava bolt. I interchanged between refresh summoning and Lavabolt. Strydaer jumped into the fight when Slixin was down somewhere between 50% and 30% health, also with a LS on. Slixin was defeated soon thereafter. There were no adds from any hornets, and the Dirt didn't drop.

Waited and fought him again. This time we had both lost KEI. Fight went similar to the first, but I used Lava Bolt more often. He dropped the Dirt of the Underfoot on the second try. My pet lived through both fights. But the point here is he can be taken with a 49 maage and a 45 paladin without KEI.

First of all, Slixin Klex is very easy to kill. I strongly feel that a L52 mage can solo him without chaining. Use 51 earthpet. Use 52 pet heal spell no problem.

It took 9 kills for me to get the Dirt. Some people are luckier, some are less lucky. Plan to be there for a while.

Here's the advice:
You have to get to BW. Have a druid friend/guildie take you, then run to BW. You will want the druid to track Gullerback and the named wurms to kill between Slixin Spawns. Mages need a drop from the wurms anyway, and this helps alleviate the boredom.

IMPORTANT: Bring a third player. He needs to be a tank. You do not need him to kill Slixin. You do not need him to kill the named wurms or Gullerback. You need him to keep the variety of angry hornets off your back.

These stinking green/light blue/ even dark blue hornets are a serious problem once your pet is committed to a higher level foe, Slix or wurm. Cinder hornets are hight 30s. Scoriae (sp?) are even higher. They hit for over 100.

All of you high 40s to mid 50s mages know exactly how long you're going to last taking 250 damage per round from an add mob you didn't expect.

Take a tank with you, I say again. It will remove all doubt and difficulty from the main kills. And, it will save your live from those stupid hornets.

A very good post.

I confirm that he can be soloed at 52 without chain casting a pet, because I just did it =)

After reading the posts I decided to go it alone and get in there and chain him quick before any roamers could come up.

I buffed my 51 earth pet with BOIII, LS, and a full set of phantom plate w/ elemental defender.

I let him attack and tank the mob down 1/2 bubble health, they were running neck in neck actually. When he was down 1/2 bubble health I started chaining him with char. After about 3k damage he aggroed me but pet rooted him off. Healed the pet with lev 52 heal spell, chained him until he aggroed me again, let pet root him off, heal pet, repeat.

All in all I healed my pet 3, maybe 4 times, and with 255int and KEI I only burned 50m.

My pet was at about 40pct health when I was done.

The dirt dropped the first time, I was lucky. I was also lucky because a couple of wanderers did come really close. 2 were right by me when he died. However his spawn is stagnant (see below posts, they are correct) so as a 52 mage you can do this guy easily if you're careful and kill him quick.

The only thing I would change if I needed to do it again would be to not use a horse. He runs fast and when he aggroed me he did quite a bit of damage before I could get up to speed to run away. If you have a horse don't use it because you'll pull aggro from him if you follow my strategy, and he hits fairly hard so you'll want to be able to move quick.

Good luck fellow mages!

ok, killed him twice with no Dirt and I was getting a little frustrated. So I decided to use a little logic (as usual) to get what I wanted.

So my druid and enchanter friend and I headed over to the crater for the third time and before we got started I yelled...

"GIMME GIMME GIMME"

then stood on my tipties and did a dance of joy.

Bingo... he dropped it :)

Happy hunting... and don't discount the Summoner's chant & dance

My level 52 mage, and a level 54 mage guildie, we took him down VERY easily, both with 51 earth pet, Burnout'ed and DS'ed (shield of lava).

No chain pet required, pets were half life after fight. Don't forget to toss him a Malosini if you want to nuke ;p

We got the Dirt at the first kill, and we're waiting on the next spawn as I am writing this ...

Last night I killed Slixen. He was very easy. Just had to chain cast my 51 Vocerate Earth Pet and Lava Shield and Burnout 3 it. Took 4 to 6 pets all with DS and Burnout 3. Only thing to watch out for is possible adds from hornets. I did cast elemental maelstorm on him once. But all and all it was pretty easy. Hope this helps some mages out.

A lvl 55 Mage buddy of mine was soloing him last night. He used about 20mana and 6 lvl 51 Earth pets (medding between pets that is). I got tired of playing my monk, so I joined him with my 51 Mage. Easy duo. Both of us using 51 earth, he dropped in about 5 total pets. killed him 12 times. His respawn time is about 27 mins. ( Got 2 dirts, one on the 5th kill, other on the 12th. He has an estimated 12-15K HPs, doubles and triples, max hit I saw was 147 I think (could be more). We slayed some scoraie hornets and some wurms to pass the time between spawns, hoping to get some spells 8(. Named wurm Nez was up, but we couldn't find him...Lol...Mages need track I tell you. Was hoping to get some embers too, oh well. cyas.

I, a 52 magician, dropped Slix with the help of a 43 enchanter, 44 druid, and 45 cleric just recently. Got an add or two during the fight, wasn't an issue... this guy was surprisingly easy. Got the dirt the first kill.

Monk, no faction hits. Forget what he hits for, had a decent amount of hp, but is probably normal or below average for his level. Maybe equivalent to a Rock Golem from Hole?

If you have 57 mage pet (earth staff helps). burnout pet, dmg shield pet. pull with malosi then send pet in. trick is to run far enough away and have pet targeted, second you see pet die make another pet and dmg shield it before he gets to you. repeat until he starts running then blast with whatever mana you have left. It's a boring tactic but it worked for me. Killed him 10 times before getting dirt.

heh. wouldn't it be easier to just chain pets? I'll explain, since it seems the poster doesn't know how, and it's often the most mana-effective way of soloing for a mage... What you do is you watch pet's HPs... when it's around 30% (use /pet report health) you start casting a new pet. While casting, type /pet get lost, when the spell is almost done casting, hit enter. Old pet dies, new pet arrives at your side. Toss the new pet a DS (and BO if you got too much mana :p). Most mages use earth pet for this, since the root acts as insurance if the old pet should die before done making a new one. This way of soloing is not really mana effective until 40+. It requires good timing, but that is easy to attain with some practise. I find it hard to believe a mage that has played to (at least) 57 don't know how to do this.
Oh, and I got the dirt on first kill :)

ok, i gotta ask. when casting a spell, you can still use pet commands? cuz i knwo i can't. my method of chaining is to MAKE SURE that the mob is rooted or far away and use a focus item to reclaim energy instead of pet get lost, then cast new pet. costs half the mana, but if the root breaks or if it never stuck, you could have a potentially explosive situation. however, i can confirm at lvl 51 i have had 2 dark blu mobs whackin me doing this method and still managed to get the pet off. not that at lvl 51, slix is db, cuz he ain't. but my point hehehe, as far off as i may have gotten, is that you can't use the get lost command "while" casting.

and, if i am wrong here, please correct me.

hehe, leave it to me to correct myself hehe, one more thing:

if you want to use the method of squeezing every last bit of health outta yur pet, instead of reclaiming (not mana efficient in the long run here btw) make sure you time yur cast so that he dies before you finish casting. and hehe, i know i love my casting time redux ring, permanent part of my life as an elementalist, so you should be rockin one as well. meaning quicker pet casting. can't go wrong.

unless yur name is Magi'kot hehehe

If you're trying to use hotkeyed pet commands during a cast you're right, it can't be done.

Type /pet get lost in the chat bar (be within verbal command range) but don't hit the ENTER key yet. Watch the cast timer. When it's down to about 1 bubble, hit enter. Have the mob targetted so you can send in the new pet the moment it arrives.

I can 100% absolutely no doubt about it give pet commands while I am casting a spell. I do it all the time, pull with malo line, run back to pet, start casting SoS, then right when mob is right before where he can hit me, i /pet kill and the pet sure enough goes right at him, rooting him 9/10 times, sos lands, fight starts with mob at 85%. if root doesn't stick, you might have to train your pet a few times until he regains aggro, smooth sailing. anyway, you can DEFINATELY give pet commands while casting, so you can SURELY give /pet get lost right at last second of casting new pet, but dont time it wrong! a "you cannot have 2 pets" message followed by a /pet get lost command = bad day!!
