Can i solo Zakum?

Hi basil. Im a level 151 Drk with a 11.4k-12.7k range (fully buffed). Do you think i can solo zak? i really want to give it a shot, but dont want to fail horribly if im not strong enough. Could someone give me an estimate of how many pots i will need? and what kinds are best and necessary?

Yes, with a lot of all cures and potions I think.

[quote=ShadowWigWig]As one who doesn't have time for experimenting with every aspect of a videogame, i figured i would spend five minutes asking fellow players for some pointers. Id rather spare myself the tedium of holding Ctrl for an hour, especially if i won't be rewarded afterwards. So id like to interject that the basis for asking this question was to express MY point, that this is simply a game. The only "lesson" to be learned here is if were going to spend our time staring at a computer screen, we may as well spend as little time doing it as possible. Thank you to those with the capacity to see through this as i do, and thank you to those who answered my question. Ill probably be waiting until about 17x to attempt a solo run.[/quote]

Good ending

Youre not going to solo zak IMO. Your zerk and DI are only 20. You probably dont even have max stance and soloing it with a 12k range makes it already a struggle

Exactly my point. It's just a game after all.

Why don't you just answer your own question and try soloing it? Have you not done a science project before?

[quote=ShadowWigWig]I should probably add that due to wasting 1bil on skill books and failing 7 in a row, my Dark Impale and Berzerk are still stuck at level 20 [/quote]

Realistically with a slow spear and that range...I'm not sure you can pull it off. But you can always try And as people mentioned before, tons of all cures and ginger ales (from nlc) should help. Good luck!

Would probably take you a while...bring lots of all cures. If you have any boss damage (maybe from a demon slayer) put it on.

Everyone 50+ can solo zak, it just depends if they can kill it or not.

Forgot to mention you wont really need many potions, but around 300 potions that heal at least 2k should suffice but I'd recommend that you bring potions that heal a little more than that since zak tends to 1/1 you alot.

I would say you can solo, but if you want to solo comfortably, that's roughly approaching a 18 ~ 20k damage range.
You'll need to carry plenty of All-Cures because the longer you draw out the battle, the more frequently you'll get locked up.

I think you can but it would take a long time, I have a 30k range and it takes me like 10mins to solo zak.
