Best class to solo Zakum

ME on body, now thats nostalgic. I've yet to run a zrun with cbs using ME in this server but it's probably not very efficient from my 3rd job server of hosting/joining zruns experience. the only reason we used ME for body back in the days was cause we had priests to heal whenever our cb had 1/1 and since mg halfs it, it's still a 2x 1/1 skill and you'd see a tomb, not to mention the loss of time walking left, sufficiently far enough to not get kb by spawns into body and exiting ds + potting. most of the time whenever cb die during body is usually cuz they forgot to recast MG or ds lag and touch body.

Also for mages/paladin may wanna take note the different arms and it's weakness/strength against certain element, prob could increase efficiency here if u ever been left with 1-2 arms before body that are elementally strong/weak by using ur higher/faster single target skill.

As for summons, take note that u should consider afew things before summoning it during body phase:
- will it OHKO spawns?
- will it not OHKO spawns and lure it to me and potentially cause dpm loss by repositioning or death.
- can my summon stun/freeze spawns (note the different waves of spawn)

 

I mean would that make a difference? A Bucc would have TL to have Echo longer than 40 minutes while others will be stuck with only 40 minutes of Echo.
Seems odd to block non-200s for attempting it with Echo where any lvl 200 will have Echo.

Edit: Oh I see what you mean - lvl 200s getting double echo basically. I'd make a specific clause saying non-200s can start with outside Echo, while 200s must rely on their own skills entirely. This would mean that a non-lvl 200 Bucc could also start with Echo, but they wouldn't be able to TL their own.

 

Yeah but it'd be fairly easy to discern - a non-level 200 player could start with Echo while a level 200 player could not.

was bored, so I went to nath to try it out. Run took ~98 mins with 27 wcs, no ragrets

pots used:
64 honsters, 7 sorc elixirs, 18 ciders, 160 acps and 10 baskets

griefed myself didnt mw for the first 5mins. I took down the cursing arms>healing arms>the rest, I left one cursing arms and struggled a bit since it ducks too often for demo/barrage to reach. Body wasnt that bad just gotta clear summons after each body so demo would target zak body instead


starting out


finished
