If you believe, you can do anything you want.

@Genostigma: Normal magnus is easy if you have 800k range. I can solo as a NL with 300k range. OP has more than double that. If he can't solo normal magnus its because he doesn't have any control, not because he lacks dpm

@Lecarde: Well, now that Normal Magnus got HP nerfed perhaps.

Depends on your class because range isn't an accurate representation for damage/dps across all classes due to varying factors such as multipliers/skills. If you're referring to your dark knight, maybe, but classes with elemental resist like most mages or cygnus knights (albeit not 100%) have a much easier path to killing bosses like these because their damage doesn't get halved. That being said, you still need good control to pull off something like this:

[quote=Genostigma]Von Leon yes (either mode), Hard Magnus however is out of the question. You'll be lucky to even get through normal Magnus with that range, depending on how much Boss% and PDR% you have.[/quote]

Normal Magnus would be a piece of cake for him

If that 800k is clean, you have very good control, and your support team is solid, you have a fair shot at Hard Magnus. If you're missing any one of those three, you're going to need more range/boss.

To be honest, there's probably no realistic way you can do it. The only way to get the skill needed to solo Hard Magnus with a low range is a great deal of practice, like, 100 runs. No one does Hard Magnus 100 times unless they have the range to finish. I would suggest going as part of a team with 1 more attacker, who has roughly twice your dps, and a binder.

A lot of the "low range solo" videos you see are a result of

A) People with really high ranges who regularly beat Hard Magnus removing gear until they find the lower limit of the range they need to finish.
B) Hiding a lot of range in % boss/pdr which affects damage without showing up in range.
C) Very good control. Magnus has always been more of a skill boss than a dps boss, plenty of people have the damage to finish Magnus in 30 minutes, very few people have the control needed to stay alive that long while attacking consistently.

As a DrkKnight you can definitely solo normal magnus. If you have perfect control maybe you can kill hard magnus, but with so little boss you wouldn't have time for even 1 mistake.

And VL is easier than HT.

Von Leon is extremely easy so yes to Von Leon. You can probably solo normal Magnus, but not hard Magnus.
