»Thanks Thorbean, I'm actually pretty much there, only things I'm missing from your list is the rao hands and feet, shep chain, and finishing upgrading my cape. Seems I'm closer than I thought =D
Hands and feet can be solo'd in the same way. Just OD them, then go do a couple ambuscade or try pop boss for sheps chain until it's back, and repeat.
Remember to adjust strat for each of the herc NM's.
Belphegor (sp) - VE frame, speedloaders, and a mana jammer.
Maybe wanna sub nin to avoid initial spell on pop. If you deploy fast enough the pet will shield bash it, but it's better safe than sorry.
Deploy > engage so trusts get into position > retrieve and pull the pet exactly opposite the healer trust to max distance without healer moving to avoid sleepga etc > deploy > melee from behind and use shijin to open light. Try to 4 step light to finish the last 20% and avoid chainspell to be extra safe, but it's not a huge deal if healer trust and pet are positioned right.
VS (or Dragon kick if no VS) > Pet > Shijin > Pet > (VS for double light if 4 step doesnt kill it)
Edit: Don't use tank trusts here, you wanna be able to position the target of his spells etc. as far away from the heal trust as possible and it's easier/faster to do that if the pet is holding it. Use melee buff trusts for increased tp gain to keep up with the pet for more SC's.
Selkit - Just summon 2 or 3 tank trusts and a couple healers and let the pet kill it. Don't bother with speedloaders. Use ranged auto.
Taelmoth - Ranged auto. I don't bother with speedloaders again here. Retrieve and kite 3 attacks after bosses 2 hour animation. Pet only, random spectral flow can mess you up if you are meleeing without upgrading your gear.
Oryx - Will need decent DT, WS, and pet + master TP set. Worst of the 4 herc T1's to solo. Just shout for it and save yourself the headache.
Thanks everyone for the replies.
What's VE?
What are the must have attachments?
How long does it take you to solo i129 mobs?
VE = Valor Edge
Optic fiber 1 & 2, speedloader 1 & 2, inhibitor 1 & 2, Strobe 1 & 2, Turbo charger 1 & 2, Mana Jammer and Armor Plates 3 & 4, Target Marker, Auto Rep. Kit 1-4, Attuner, Coiler 2. Those are what I find myself using more than most others. Should grab the others if possible though just in case.
It depends if you can melee with the pet and if they have resistance to SC's or not. Anything from 30 sec to 5 minutes.
