Well before the change it was easy to solo Mel. A archer/mage could do it easy.
Kill the satyrs with ev's and archery, then take on mel. Efield to keep her out of range (she had casting range of 9, while your bow could shoot 10). So shoot, efield every so often so she stayed out of range... took a while but worked pretty easy.
Soloing mel now?
MM I can only think of one template which can do it. Melee probably can't because of her discords and powers.. nerfs you too much, so you need to stay out of range. Thus the large dragon...
Taming and lore.. For large dragons (Or cu's if you really like cu's)
Archery , using a spellchanneling bow with hit mana leech, and hopefully SSI and/or hit lower defense.
bushido so you can honor mel before you dragon gank her. Wraith form for mana leeching. Probably can just go with 0 necro and use items before going into mel.
So, you will have your dragon on Mel. You will be standing back shooting mel with your bow. This won't do much, but will give you back some mana for free while you heal you pet/dispel revs. So, your dragon is your main attack, your bow is a 2ndary attack which hurts mel a tad, and as a mage your greater healing pet.
You won't need eval int because greater heal spell i think is magery based. If you need to attack something you have your dragon/bow/mind blasts. For mana regen, you have your suit, your bow a little, and wraith form.
Template? maybe
120 taming
120 lore
120 archery
120 magery
120 bushido
that leaves 100 ish.. i guess for meditation? heck even some chivalry. who knows.
So what do you think. The only way i can think to solo mel is with a tamer. Mage/archers won't work anymore since they extended her casting range to 10. The ladder is't bugged anymore so no more breathers down the ladder.
Dragon and bow to take out satyrs, then dragon/bow on mel, while greater healing dragon/dispelling revs.. So, what do you think..
