Newbie Soloing Zak

Hi guys

In the 6 years I've been on and off playing this game, I have not even encountered Zakum before. (Pzak doesn't count )

I plan on soloing (or maybe duoing with a friend) zak to get Final Blow, as I still don't have it at lvl 144.

I'm wondering if I can survive and kill him within the time limit with a fully buffed range of 36.5k (this is not including full combo, which it then rises to 40k) and an hp of 11.5k.

I have 10 sudden strike, 4 overswing, 0 final blow, max high mastery and afa with 10 freeze standing. I also have 10% boss from ds's link skill and 15% PDR. With cleaving blow, that puts it at 30% boss and 55% PDR.

So guys, will I be able to succesfully solo Zak?

All help is appreciated, thanks in advance

20-25 minutes doesn't seem too bad, although I will probably be pairing up with my 149 Hero friend. Hopefully he won't spam weapon cancel a lot

Yeah, I've heard those horror stories of people not being able to get the book they wanted after 50+runs.

I believe any aran with 20k range can solo, when i soloed my first time i was lvl 141 with max freeze standing

If it's for a skill book you're going to have a tough time
Zaks Drop Rate has been decreased tremendously

lol.. i maxed out every single "need" skill possible excluding mw with around 35k range (fully buffed by myself), 30%boss and 55% pdr, and it took me 22 mins to solo

(yes, took me a long time but it was my first time)

I think you're gonna have a hard time dealing with knock-backs because of your freeze standing, and not your full damage due to low level of overswing. soloing i think it would take you around 20 ~ 25 mins if you're zak is as betchy as mine, which did constant 1/1, stun, skill lock, and attack-ignoring thing where you hit only 1.

EDIT: +30% boss[/quote]

Well, since you're missing a lot of your core skills not to mention freeze standing it would take you around 40 mins.

That top right arm is gunna torture you... </3

Ummm I think the character card sets contributes to my overall hp. Also I'm wearing 4/6 empress pieces (haven't updated my avatar yet) and one of the set bonuses I think had 15% hp and mp.

You should have Overswing and Sudden strikes points mixed around but it's alright, you're good to go.

With my current range at 42k it takes me about 8 mins.

Since you have a slightly lower range and 10 freeze standing it should take around 15-20 mins.

The oly problem you face is the level 10 freeze standing. The top right arm will really irk you.
