Solo DoA Discussion

Its a wild shot but...
Maybe you're fixed on using a R/A because that's what you started with. Try to look for the skill that will help you solve the problem.
For example, will atrophy do the trick ? If so, you can go primary necro using atrophy instead of LS and mental block instead of whirling defense.
Or you might take primary or even secondary mesmer with distortion and arcane echo snow storm (energy might be a problem).
Of course AR is lower but, you get my point. Hexes won't work, he spams Smite Hex like a maniac... Only thing that will kill him is sheer damage or condition degen....

Also, LOL? N/A? This isn't about just doing the monk lord solo, it's about doing the whole of DoA solo.. Whirling Defense isn't for the block, it's for the damage.. You kill EVERYTHING with it, except in veil where you use Snowstorm to kill stuff.... Also, R/Me? Dude, Shadowform isn't an option, it's mandatory...

His only other option would be A/Me with Wastrel's Worry/Demise, but that's not optimal since Enraged is a bitch when using Wastrel's, and Gloom will be a bitch to do without Whirling... In fact, everything will be a bitch if he has to go A/Me... Except for Room 1-4 Foundry, those will be the only things that might be easier as A/Me....
On a second thought, A/Me won't be very optimal since the damage redux from SF, so you can't really take anything outside of Wastrel's and the monk lord spams so hard that it won't work anyway...

EDIT: Mike, on that Screenshot you didn't kill the Ele lord yet, have you solo'd him yet or not?

Summoning Sickness says hi... Summon them out of his range, wait 10 min so you can use another stone, then engage him.

lol bright i like how you always sound like a pompous A and you couldn't figure this out Fair enough, but his thing still won't work because of smite hex.. He won't trigger it enough with or before removing it... It won't work at all...

If you use slot 7 for a skill purely to disrupt RoF, and could somehow keep it indefinitely down, how long would it take to kill him? Tried Dshotting it, but mind you it's a 1/4s casting spell, so rupting is already really hard, and you need to be able to rupt him twice in a row to get him killed...

Fair enough, but his thing still won't work because of smite hex.. He won't trigger it enough with or before removing it... It won't work at all... Powerstone to chain PI. Should be at least 6 seconds with it up (not sure if his recharge times are halved). If you surround him with 3+ allies including yourself, the damage from PI of Zealot's Fire may be greater than the heal from RoF, meaning he can't heal.

Is there a summon that has "Shame" or something like that? Energy steal + fail cast. Would work wonders I imagine. Though good luck getting something with that skill, if there is one. Yeah, but RoF has a 2 seconds downtime whilst Shame has a 20sec downtime... Also, draining his energy is not an option unless you could manage keeping it down permanently... RoF is only 5e spell and easily spammable enough for the lord to outheal your damage...
