How should I solo zakum arms
All buffed up I have a 55k range on the high end. I was wondering what the best way to kill the arms would be. Previously I have been using leaf tornado and spikes until I kill the bottom 4-6 then use stunning strike/ring to finish it off. Is there a better way to do it?

I use ring to kill off all the arms. Its faster than Stunning Strikes and its more effective than Leaf tornado for ME currently. Reason being my layout is so borked that I have to change it when using Leaf Tornado, and I find it annoying to change back, however with the Ring method I kill Zakum in about 12-14mins with my 41k range, bare in mind that I was using Great protector Warrior pot and that cake buff. Otherwise it would take me about 18-20mins using Ring. I'll give Tornado a bash sometime when I get more eyes and see which is faster for me.
stunning strikes is pointless. i doubt you'll be hitting three or more arms with one stunning strikes since you're killing most off with leaf tornado. any less than three and ishtar's ring is already better.
while i'm at it, i can point out something for zakum bodies. i find rising rush to be particularly useful for avoiding stun pillars and seal using its invincibility frame. but because of its rush range, you can expect to take zakum body touch damage after using it (which honestly isn't a big deal). but as a plus, rising rush can be multipurpose by killing a few summoned mobs while doing the aforementioned. so you don't have to use stunning strikes for mobs either in my opinion.
oh, and i don't really see what your range has to do with this thread in general.
