YOU MUST HAVE MORE LUXON FACTION THAN KURZICK FACTION FOR THIS TO WORK OR ELSE THE PRIEST WILL DIE. I know this can be done with warrior much easier but assassins can do it as well. Outside of Unwaking Waters (Kurzick Side) the warrior boss Strongroot appears. You can't tank like a warrior but you have to do a lot of pulling and moving around. Talk to the priest when you get out and get the shrine access and the blessing. If you have more kurzick faction than the priest can be attacked and will die therefore not healing you.

I use A/N.
2 death magic
12+1 dagger mastery
8+1 shadow arts
10+3+1 critical strikes

i use zealous ceremonial daggers for my daggers

basically groups of 3 or 4 are the easiest way. Groups containing ritualist, elementalist, necromancer, ranger, warrior all at once are impossible so try to avoid those dangerous groups. Pull the group first or the lone ritualist boss. Stay in range of the priest and finish off that group. Afterwards u need to pull the other mob and i usually kill the closest enemy and run back and continue until the degen kills him. Most of the time I kill the undergrowths then the kirin unless the kirin is easily accesible. After they are killed i leave the dragon mosses alone and hide behind the corner on the left when u first come out in between the rez shrine and the wall so that they dragon mosses cant hit u.

Skills are:
shadow refuge
golden lotus strike
golden phoenix strike
horns of the ox
falling spider
twisting fangs
tainted flesh (elite) death magic
plague touch

it might take a bit to get used to putting on the degen and running back and staying away from the dragon mosses blurred vision but i soloed him 18 times in 2 days so its definetly not too hard.

Is it kurzick faction must be higher instead of luxon??
The priest is kurzick.
also, I would suggest to bring an assassin skill "return",
cast in on the priest of any npc before running to the mobs.
It's just in case you will not dp out

the priest is kurzick but your character favours to luxon so he won't engage to battle hence he becomes invicible NPC. Regardless who you are, he will heal you.
