Tips on soloing Horntail?

So I've been told that I can solo horntail with my 43k range and 43% bossing, and against bosses I hit 120-170k per line of PB (the damage is low because it's only level 1, but it's still about 3-3.5m damage per second). I also have Max hero's will, 4k avoidability, and 14k HP. I realize that I'll be pretty close to being too slow to kill him, so I was wondering if anybody could give me tips on what to do. Like in what order to kill the body parts, and I keep on hearing about pressing alt+enter when you're seduced, but I don't completely understand this, so could somebody please explain this better to me please. Also if there's any other miscellaneous tips that anybody can give me, it'd be very helpful (this will be my first time facing horntail).

I think I have a pretty good chance of surviving because I have the 4k avoid, +70% avoid chance, 30% (or 20%, i cant remember) chance to ignore status effects, I have like 2k defense and 14k HP, and I think I'll bring 2 wheels.

You'll still most likely die unless what @Tophuu said with the mobs protecting you, which is what I do. 70% avoidability and 20% defense isn't a lot.

[quote=askmiller]really, even with a 70% avoidability rate a db will die to seduce? granted their hp isn't incredibly high but it's not that low?

Hero's will has a cooldown of 6 minutes at max level. HT sometimes (almost rarely) seduces 3 - 5 times in a row. If he's lucky, then the mobs will protect him from getting hit by HT's attacks. If you're scared of seduce and can kill quickly, I'd recommend taking out HT's middle area first. That's where seduce comes from.

Maybe someone is thinking the lag will keep you from being hit or something.....

Alt+Enter when you're seduced? Alt+Enter changes your ms from windowed mode to fullscreen and vice versa
