Which can solo gollux faster?

So for whichever mode of gollux, with equal funding and just about the same range/level which of these 3 classes do you think can solo fastest. Decided to make one cuz i wanna boss, but i wanna do it quick.

Thanks for your input, sorry if a similar thread has been made already.

*Edit* - Just wanna add Commerci to bossing as well.

Paladin would have difficulty controlling the mobs. F/P has an edge over MM due to their ability to teleport up and down at any time without much worry, plus they have Slime Virus, which can easily handle at least one side of the mobs, sometimes both.

[quote=arch2200]i've soloed faster on my MM then on my paladin by almost 3 mins so idk where people see palis are better[/quote]

Are they both equally funded?

@bowcreaters: That isn't what I meant, F/P can jump down from the platform at the eyes and cast Paralyze then jump up and teleport back to safety. It's not difficult to clear both sides if you switch platforms every 10-20 seconds or so.

@MSsplayer: Threaten reduces a mobs PDR, not elemental resistance. Void Elemental (the 4th job Paladin skill) negates all elemental resistances entirely though. Gollux doesn't have a high PDR so Threaten isn't particularly beneficial there.

NL's however cant avoid dmg reduction does this still make them a better choice at soloing compared to paladins? Again this is for both gollux and commerci.

All of F/P's DoT and poison mist does not kill the mobs, it leaves the mob at 1 HP. Even if you use viral slime, the mob clearing is inefficient because the viral slime has a mind of its own and moves in random direction, not to mention if you dont do enough damage to 1 hit the summons then the viral slime will not duplicate. Viral slime also has 60 sec cooldown and the summon only last 60 seconds, so resetting it gets annoying.

Luminous is pretty efficient at gollux because they do not get the 50% damage reduction, and can stand outside his attacks on hard mode while spamming reflection. NLs, cannoneers, corsairs are also good.

@nizzan943 Night Lords can kill Gollux almost effortlessly since their Mark of Assassin kills the mobs as they spawn.

So i know paladins have threaten, which is practically destroys bosses dmg reduction, but what do f/p mages have that lets them ignore dmg reduction?

Being honest MMs aren't that great at gollux. You have to be barely on the edges in order to hit, damage is reduced, and taking care of mobs is a pain since AI doesn't lure them to it half the time.

I haven't taken my paladin up yet, but they've always been pretty good bossers.
I never had a F/P mage but i think with enough funding they could easily take out the mobs with the poison gas plus didn't they have a skill that was very beneficial at bosses? idk if it got removed or not.
