Hi, it has been a while since I’ve posted a topic here.
I have done some up-to-date boss solos in Arah P3 since warriors got nerfed really badly, and surprisingly 2 of them are faster than any other solos of them that I can find ever done… including pre-ferocity.
So, enjoy. I don’t think the crusher+hunter one can really be improved by much but the mage crusher and wraithlord I surely will be able to pump out better times with more patience and RNG.
P.S. Lupicus isn’t included in this because it’s really freakin’ annoying to grind for the RNG needed to get the time that I want (preferably sub 4:30 but I think I would upload a 4:30-4:40). The best Lupicus I have recorded since 9/9 was a 4:54 with average phase 3 RNG.
For the mage crusher, is there a tip or trick to avoiding his auto attack poison projectile? I have tried soloing him melee but i can never consistently avoid that attack. Im aware of what the animation looks like but its fast enough and subtle enough that Im too late.

All of his attacks have a 1.25sec-ish after cast. His auto-attack is instant cast and instant hit in melee range. Knowing this, all that is left is to time your dodge after the last attack finishes; when his body is completely still is when he finishes his attacks. Just count 1 alligator after that and evade/block/invuln.
The downside is there is no way to distinguish between his auto and this other attacks so you end up wasting your evades and such.

Yeah there is a reason why I didn’t put the word “record” in any of them. I intentionally didn’t let myself go ooc for crusher+hunter and wraithlord so I could start on full adrenaline. The only reason I couldn’t do that with mage crusher is because there were no nearby mobs for it.
If it makes you feel any better I can tell you my best time on crusher+hunter without any previous attempts in the instance since 9/9 patch is 2:11 in full strength runes 65003, curry butternut squash soup. I didn’t want to upload a time that was only 3 seconds faster than my previous best, which was uploaded a while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dyKNuEYwWs
Anyways, thanks for the posts all of you. As others have said the projectile attacks for mage crusher are attacks you need to kinda just guess for. This is a boss that warrior is undisputably the best for, due to the fact that you get absolutely rekt on any class with a low hp pool. During casual ele solos I lure him to the same spot and use focus with energy sigil and renewing stamina and lifesteal food… still get pwnt and need to resort to using FGS for evades on occasion >.<

As far as I am concerned, it doesn’t make it any less impressive Good job again.
Thief on Mage Crusher is really good. In addition to having Smokescreen to block his auto, you can also use pistol whip so you don’t have to worry about endurance, plus you get to keep doing DPS while evading. I might have a video of it somewhere, but as for now, I’m about to post something else =)

It’d be nice to know how the DPS thief can put out in a solo setting compares to that of a warrior’s on light armored bosses ;o
I am sorry but my VOD got muted for the 2nd clip… so it will be silence. We estimate under 45 seconds at best for crusher+hunter and something around 50 seconds for mage crusher. I shouldn’t have swapped to axe/mace during that life leech, ugh… if I had fast hands it would’ve been fine.
