ok i was inspired by this thread about soloing ww dragons (like its hard :p ) http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php?t=3273

this is a great way to make PP i did it off and on for around 3/4 months and made god knows how much PP (well over 2mil)

A little info on trakanon

Location: Old sebilis
Class: necromancer (IIRC)
level: 65
Top hit: around 400
slowable? yes

He uses 3 spells..

Spell Info: Poison Breath PB AE 300', Poison (-150)
1: Increase Poison Counter by 9
2: Decrease Hitpoints by 150 per tick
3: Decrease HP when cast by 1200

Spell Info: Deadly Lifetap Lifetap 0', Magic (-200)
1: Decrease Hitpoints by 1500

Spell Info: Trakanon's Touch Single Target, Unresistable (0)
1: Teleport to -1283,-117,-175 in sebilis facing NE

HP : 32k

Ok trakanon spends 99% of his time casting and nearly all of his dps is spell/ae based. with 525 resists (yeah im slacking, not invested into the resist cap aas yet lol) you resists everything eh throws at you. his lifetap is a pain because.. it heals him. but you will resist it along with the Poision breath. the only problem is his banishment.

he banishes you every 30 seconds or so this is how i did it. my bard has around 11k hps fully buffed and just under 200dps normal about 250 or so with dance of blades (fully buffed) there are three ways of doing this the .. proper way... then insane way.. or the MQ2 way.

the proper way.

1 fight down to him (well run like fook and fade once ur through juggs) now you have to be a speed demon with killing and clear all from traks lair and all of jugs, then pull trakanon to jugs and kill him there. ive never done it like this takes 2 long to clear jugs and his room solo before the repops. but if you manage to achive it you 'should' get summoned back once banished.

2 clear trakanons area using charm the jugs and send em to attack trakanon (this is to kill the jugs you wont do hardly any damage to trak as the lifetaps will hit them) then go in all blades dancing and pray u manage to kill him before he banishes. he wont summon you back from his lair.

3 the easest and best way i did it (mq2 way of course!).

A: make sure the zone is empty (or at leaste the zone in and traks lair/jugs/banish point is clear of people)
B: use the map and warp to one of the jugs around traks lair, charm him target the BIG named jug he cant be charmed mob, do this for all the jugs in traks lair area.
C: warp to the named mob with Pasm of veeshan playing and slaughter the named mob, he has far more meele dps than trakanon and will slaughter you. get him dead.
D: go to safe point regen, cure ur self what evers needed, oh and loot the jugs they drop some nice spells and the named one
E once your happy and ready. go in and kill trakanon make sure pasm of veeshan is up ALL the time, if u get dotted ur more or less fooked just meele him to death, slow him if u want but the idea is to get him dead before he stops casting and gets into meele mode. he should die pritty fast, if you saved dance of the blades use that and same for sheild of notes (though persionaly i use them on the named jug) every time he banishes you, just warp back to him, MAKE SURE YOU FADE after every warp else ur gunna train ur self before u get time to kill toup :) the fight dosnt take longer than 2 mins for me.
F: simple.. LOOT

Note after every warp make sure you fade this is very important! seb can create masive trains.

he mostly drops kunark BPS but can drop mana robes (which sell for a ton on my server) and basicly enjoy

he repops every 3 days most of the BPS have like 30k tribute points if ur into that.

total time 30mins tops... and u can make 150 to 300k on every trakanon kill

ENJOY!! hugz
 
dot classes do this easier then anyone
make sure zone empty no gms online
/tar trak
/warp target
dot dot dot
/warp succor (trak will not summon you from the safe spot)
repeat till dead.

works on most of kunark
 
I've done something similar before... Cleric chills at succor point and then warrior warps to target with a fresh pious elixir.. beats down the target till I hit 20% /warp succor CH myself and redo till dead.

What do you have that gats your hp so high?

erm full set of ele gear and time with most don rss and now a qvic hps augs
11khp is kinda low, seen bards with 14khps unbuffed (anguish geared of course)
 
sorry i was scanning the archives for plat strats, got so involved and didnt even notice the date! WTB updated plat strats! ^_^
 
11k fully buffed is lowbie compared to a lot :)

But indeed a nice strat despite the age
 
yeah i know she is low hps :( but i dont play her much just exp, my rog on the other hand broke 14k hps fully buffed yesterday :D
 
i just broke 5k on my bard and i thought it was the greatest thing in the world.
 
nothing much really bardy is full ele/time geard with 1 qvic, rog is qvic high end god equipt with a few oow stuff
 
Tried to solo Klandicar on my ranger and got my arse handed to me :P Guess i was doing it wrong or something.

damn casters have all the luck

Logging on 68 necro now to finish the job :)
 
attempted, and failed with a 66 druid/68 necro duo, both had the vet stat max thing with all resists capped and still got owned by trak
 
I used to solo Trak with my wizard, using warps. He wasn't even elemental geared.

Go in Fully raid buffed / self buffed : force shield and so on.
warped to the room, a loc right behind trak, and agro. he spends almost the whole fight casting. Just nuke him to hell and back, and warp to a safe loc as needed. I always kept a stock of poison removal potions on me, used as needed. It used to take me a few minutes to drop him but I used to farm him for the bp's for tribute, and for mana robes. never got one to drop in the two months I had the spawn on lock down though.
 
hmm, ok, i tried again this time i parked my friends cleric at succor point, almost every one of druids and necros dots landed this time, last time almost everyone of them resisted...we had same buffs, same gear, same level, same spells, weird (edit: same stuff as this morning, druid and nec didn't have same gear, spells, etc..just clarifying so noone complains about my bad grammar :p)
