[quote=PuhTayToe][quote=TheTot]@PuhTayToe: No I don't have any bossing %. If it makes any difference, despite what some guides suggest because of the way my mastery books worked and/or did not work, I currently have 20 Hurricane, 24 SE, 30 FA, and 20 Spirit Link. Plus the others but they're not as important. No Maple Warrior.[/quote]

Since the time is limited and zak's 1/1 + curse + the mob he summon, it might take longer then the limited time. If u actually do 40k per arrow with hurricane then u should be fine if u have all cure and use arrow rain on the mob but I'm pretty sure zak's def will cut into the damage a bit.[/quote]

sorry for repost, something went wrong when quoting

@TheTot I agree with the others, you should be able to do it unless he goes crazy with the weapon cancels. I've had runs where he just about spams me with it. While other times he spends the entire fight defending against magic attacks lol. Just don't talk to buddies/guildies while he's able to take damage and you should be fine.

As for your friend, he should be okay, although I'm not sure what the recommended HP for zak is anymore. It used to be 3k minimum, but that was pre-bb lol. So long as they bring plenty of potions for all the 1/1s and they don't lag or walk into zak's body then they should be fine.

Try and see how far you can get.
20k range is a safety range that I can say, but you might be able to do it.

@TheTot

@yoguy911: 40k per arrow sounds about right. I'll definitely give it a try I just didn't see any problem in trying to be prepared.

@TheTot: theoretically, yes you can solo it with your range, i'm guessing you do roughly 40k (crit) per arrow? with 850 hits/min w/afa, it'll be really fast. But, don't forget how zak likes to screw people over with 1/1, super armor and stun. I may be wrong, but it doesn't matter unless you actually try.

Well no, the limit is 50 mins, but that includes dropping the eye of fire, and picking up drops and stuff

[quote=phrostmage]In the time it takes to make a thread and debate about it you could be... I don't know... actually trying it?[/quote]

Maybe I don't have access to the game currently, maybe I just don't want to yet, maybe I'm trying to set up my first try for another time, maybe a lot of things. This is a forum for discussion. Would you rather see another p/c topic or one about religion or some anime that doesn't belong in this section? What is this site coming to?

@TKerberosT: Is 45 minutes going to be a problem? I mean, let's assume I don't mind spending that long doing it - is there a time limit I need to beat, and would that be cutting it close?

@yoguy911: I am curious why you seem to think I need 20k but everyone else seems to say it is doable with 10k. I am just looking for some concise info, and right now you're going against the majority. So if you could elaborate that'd be great.

@TheTot: At least 20k range and having 10% boss damage from DS link helps, any hp is fine as long as you don't lag or touch the body. Remember to have your puppet constantly up, it'll protect against 1/1 (not 100% sure) and it deals damage.

Do u have any bossing %? If not then I would really doubt it and since ur a bm it will take time going from one arm to another with hurricane in a solo.

@yoguy911: What kind of a range do you think I'll need? And is the hp okay?

@CherryTigers: Since you seem to think I can, albeit slowly, would a ~110 NL w/ ~3k hp be able to tag along or would be more than like get 1hko'ed?

@TKerberosT: Do you think it will take 30 minutes like the other person predicted?

well, for a BM with that range, i don't think you'll make it

you can do it, it'll take 30 mins or so though

Okay, let's, just for a second, pretend he's not glitched. The point of this topic was:
