Hello!

I managed to complete an Arah P4 solo today with my elementalist Ruby Miku, but with duo Simin.

The full run took about 4 hours total, and can be viewed here: http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/c/4341353

I have highlighted certain parts of the run so that you don’t have to sift through it yourself, but I didn’t bother to highlight Balthazar or Melandru because a) I did terrible on Balthazar and wiped like 3 times, and b) Melandru is boring to watch… like, really boring. If you want to see it just search for it in the full run… those are the first 2 bosses :P

Lyssa solo: http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/c/4342298
-I used 2/6/6/0/0 d/f for this boss and I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to do without. I tried a ton of things and this is the only thing that worked, and very well I might add. The reason for it is for the “Diamond Skin” grandmaster trait. Whenever the clones die you get 25 stacks of confusion… and I promise you there’s NOTHING you can do to break out of dagger auto animation in time. LH isn’t helpful either. FGS is a bad idea in a solo because you go from full hp to 0 in literally the blink of an eye here. I encourage some of you to try this and tell me if you come up with a better way, but this is already about the same speed I can do it on Purple :P

Orbs solo (no watchwork ports!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I1yXl_ev-Q
-Tyvm to Pepsi Ele for their help! I didn’t even know it was possible to solo 2nd orbs with ele, but it’s even easier to do it than with warr
(Btw, he says that you cannot do it without clerics gear)

Lupicus solo: http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/c/4342269
-I used d/f with no bloodlust stacks and lifesteal on crit food because I’m a noob on ele. I didn’t wipe at all on him this time so I’m happy about that, but I played it safe and used renewing stamina (arcana II) instead of stone splinters (earth VI) and was a noob with might stacking. Phase 3 is really hard without FGS, phase 1 I try to burn through ASAP before Arenanet starts DDoSing me or RNGing me with a million swarms. Phase 2, however, I find to be trivial with d/f thanks to swirling winds etc.

Grenth 1st part: http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/c/4342326
-This was really annoying in my run because the NPC is a piece of kitten and kept making the boss reset. Arenanet #1 AI programming in the world. This was my strategy that I came up with completely on my own and I don’t know of any more reliable methods. Perhaps someone will come up with a much faster one that works consistently ^^

Grenth 2nd part: http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/c/4342345
-Let the wraiths down you once and they won’t reapply the marks. Because ele has no hp and no healing signet, don’t even TRY to do anything fancy like FGSing the first wraith and rallying off it etc. Just accept your fate. If you fully die and cannot rally, you’ll have to start over.

Simin (duod): http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/c/4342367
-I have concluded that it is not even remotely feasible to solo Simin even with a friend helping with sparks, because of the lack of stability options. The only way it would work is if I swapped out FGS as my elite, but then I wouldn’t be able to deal enough dmg. This is more of a ‘burst’ sort of encounter, so LH is actually trash here… especially because Simin’s autoattacks destroy you on an elementalist… not to mention the AoE’s if you fail to get out of them in time before the damage ticks xD

Bloodstone shard + the 4 silvers before it: http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/c/4342388
-Oooh FGSing those silvers was so satisfying. God I hate illusionists. Nothing too special to mention about these encounters… just burned em down.

-

Conclusion:
Soloing on Ruby makes me realize just how much I love Purple, dear god. May as well make another channel calling it RubyIsNewb.

I also am not very skilled with this class, so I bet Goku could absolutely demolish this path with his ele if he wanted to try, along with many others that are really good on their eles. Hopefully my vids here help others that want to try this.

Really amazing job!

I caught some of it when you were streaming, and indeed, there were so many times when I’d see you go low on health, and I was thinking, “gosh, this looks so hard, and the poor Ele is so squishy.” I’d just wince and hope you wouldn’t go down, especially if the boss got low. Definitely not an easy task, and takes a world’s worth of persistence and patience (and skill) to do on an Ele.

Again, really great job.

Thank you :P

It’s true that on ele you have low as hell hp and almost everything kills you instantly. So it’s basically equivalent to soloing on warr with no armor, but then again part of it could also be because I’m not as good with ele as warr.

Yep, for soloing the orbs ^^ then you don’t need to waste several gold on watchwork ports or waste time begging friends/guildies to come help for it.

Very cool! I’m always amazed by how people think of ways to get past grenth solo.

You don’t even need to verify your account, only if you want to become a youtube partner and earn money with your videos.

Yeah that’s the only time I ever used it but oh wow good freaking idea on using it for Belka!! I hope I remember that next time I try to solo P2 with Ruby.

But, Dub… I can’t upload anything that’s longer than 15 mins to youtube without verifying my account it says? I suppose it could work for the short boss clips here but if you wanted to watch anything else in the run I would have to fragment a 4 hour clip into individual uploads ._.

Ok I found out that it’s only not letting me do it by text messages… I validated it with the automated voice call ^^
