Shadowguard Solo

[OREOGL]

Just checking to see if the roof is still solo-able, specifically on a samp.
If so, and tips or advice is appreciated.
Will probably try it this weekend, but need to check to see if I need to craft double axes for undead and elemental slayers.

They haven't made changes to the roof in years so yes I believe so; especially for something like a disco tamer. I've only used my samp a handful of times solo on the roof because Ozyman (guy on Hiryu) took me forever to kill due to his high parry but I do believe that as a human sampire, you can control a 3 slot vollem (you train it to 120 disco) to help discord him which makes him easier. I think there is probably some sort of art to this though to not have the bosses attack the vollem.

do you think it’s worth having chivalry? Or maybe swap it out for heating?

I wouldn't drop it for healing personally but that's my opinion. IIRC I don't think Ozy or VirtueBane have slayers for them so having Enemy of One (along with Honor) helps get you to the 300 DI Cap for max damage. If you are using a sampire, the more damage you do means the more life leeched so I'd aim to do as much damage as possible. Make sure you have double axes; whenever the boss summons a spawn the mobs can be used for additional life leech.

Good call, can you word of death these?

thanks for the input too!

I take a second account most of the time nowadays disco tamer. Main Samp it makes it a lot quicker (and easier but not technically solo depends how you look at it )

Yep - WOD works on them all which makes Ozy very quick after he gets to that point.

Yep - I've done this as well (except it's just my SW/Bard). I run down to disco the boss first and then run provo mastery and throw a gift of renewal on my sampire to go beat down the boss. When they get low enough I hit them with a couple WOD to speed things up. Not only does this make it quicker, it also gives me an extra chance for a artifact drop at the end. It's pretty manageable to do the rooms with 2 accounts and really the only room that is a PITA (for me at least) is the bar because the executioners reflect damage. I think there might be a way to kind of "auto gather" the bottles in your pack to make it easier to throw but I'm not sure how to set that up (or if it's actually a legal thing).

I tell everyone to take a second account and park it in a safe corner somewhere just in case. Virtuebane can break bad and be a huge pita quickly and then you are grey screened... having that second account in the corner has saved the run a time or two for me.

in the enhanced client, you can add the bottles to the scavenger agent list. you pickup nearby bottles by holding Ctrl-shift.
you can assign a macro to use the bottles. So no pack interaction needed.

the same can be done for the armory room Items, with additional macros to use the unclean and cleansed phylactery bottle.

Can also be used to pick up fountain pieces as well

Ah very nice... I play CC which probably means that won't be possible for me but is yet another reason I'm tempted to try to tolerate the EC graphics; lots of good perks for using it.

I was able to solo it on my samp last time i tried, which was a couple months back.

Nice. How long did it take you from start to finish (starting bar and finishing the roof)?

Would you mind showing or spelling out what you use for the macro to use the bottles both in the bar and Armory? I have the scavenger but could really use the macro. Thanks

just drag a bottle into an unused hot bar slot. Then assign a key (via right click) to that slot.

for the unclean phylactery bottle, I assign key ~. For a cleansed bottle, I use shift ~

For the bar, assign a different key to a hot bar slot for the liquor bottle. If you want to get fancy, you can also combine with wait for target cursor + target nearest enemy (in a macro).

so you end up assigning 3 separate actions.

Look on Youtube
UO - Shadowguard (Roof) Keying - Complete (Sampire)
There's a guy with a vid i think what you want is about 3.10

 

[egglett]

Only any good if your using EC

Thanks that was helpful! Just made life that much easier.
