can i solo?

I never got around to finishing ht or pb prequests but now that they're being made wayyyy easier I now wanna try.
My question is, can I solo? Iirc my fully buffed range is like ~274k and maxed out i hit near(?) 2m per blast line.
On a side note, I don't know fsho if I'll hit 2m on ht, or pb. I don't know their defense or pdr or w/e (pallies are gonna lose ele ignore?)

Thanks

@random87: well u can practice with easy magnus, but emagnus doesnt have the same hp as before so is way easier than before, anyways u should give it a try on ur marksman, i dont know anything about marksmans but i know they do a lot damage with less funds than other classes, i guess u should practice and learn his attacks.

@LordAnubiS: Well my range on my hero is trash because I've quit for about a year and my damage isn't really that great for today's standards.
I did however start funding an Marksman which now has decent damage.
On that character I do Krexel, HT and Czak daily just to gain some exp and meso. (yes I'm pretty poor now so selling the drops gains me about 10m a day which is a nice bonus)
I finished the BP prequests and tried PB yesterday, I got killed because of DR but now I know what to do so I will probably succeed without problems.
Looks like I'll have to postpone going to Magnus since I probably won't do as much damage as you did, but in the meantime I have enough bosses to slay!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm definitely going to try mangus![/quote]
first whats ur range? bcuz the first time i killed normal magnus i had +200k range (100+% boss & 70% pdr) as a pally and i still had the elemental ignore and i could bind him and use sacrosanctity, sometimes it took me like 20-25 minutes(waiting for sacro cd and dodging like a boss) to kill normal mag, now is way more easy bcuz my range is way higher but is still pretty hard, but give it a try.
OT: pink bean is hella easy for a pally(not like in pre RED/Tempest) bcuz u can crash him(no DR), bind him(if u r lvl 170+), sacrosanctity(lvl 150+) and seduce wont kill u, so just dont die with his DR and u will be ok.
then HT is a joke with ur range and u can kill Caos HT too(PB is harder than CHT).

Pretty sure both arms on ht's body can seduce. I've been chained by the right arm before.

However with a range like that OP shouldn't even be asking about HT solo, it should be easy as hell. If s/he can also avoid Reflect then I wouldn't imagine PB being much trouble either.

The time limit was 60mins before the 50m damage cap. Now it's 30mins.

[quote=random87]Sorry to steal your tread, but I had the same question but I want to know a little more.
What bosses require an expedition? I have killed Zakum, Krexel and Horntail a bunch of times now and I was wondering if there are any other bosses you can solo without an expedition.
I have been thinking about PB too but I heard you needed 3+ people, do they have to be online or is a party with a bunch of offline mules good too?[/quote]

easy magnus is another one im sure off the top of my head.

The cooldown for pink bean's DR is 43 seconds but it is better to be safe. Also, 40 is easier to work with when timing it. You can definitely kill Pink Bean. It was possible to solo it as a hero before the 50m damage cap. For the birds on regular PB, you trigger DR/seduce when you pass the edge of the adjacent statue. For example, for the left bird, if you pass the left statue, DR will be activated.

I suggest you look at at least one video if you feel unsure about yourself.

@random87 Expeditions have been removed. I dunno wbout Krexel but you can solo all the major bosses by yourself (no mules required).
Still need 2+ for RA though.

@socalswimpanda well that's the order that they become active, so you can only hit those statues during each phase. I suggest you find someone who knows what to do and bring them along for your first run. PB is kinda annoying.

Um ... HT, yes, PB, bit tight but probably, depending on whether you know what you're doing or not.
HT doesn't have any extra defense, all you need to know is that the left arm on the main body seduces. You have 1hr 15mins. Easy easy.

PB is slightly different.
1. Whack left statue
2. whack left and right statue
3. whack left, right statue and left bird
4. whack left right bird and statue
5. whack everything
6. whack pb

The left bird statue has DR and the right bird statue seduces. However, if you stay before the yellow orb underneath the furthermost left and right statues, you're out of range and they cant do anything to you.

PB has physical resist which means your damage will be cut in half. He starts DR at 90% hp (2.5 buff icons down the hp bar), which lasts approx 28s and has a 40s cooldown. You can crash every second one. Rush him to the right of the screen so that he faces left, that way he can't seduce you. Also has 1/1 + skill lock, and spawns these annoying summons that do wep cancel.
