Soloing her on a lock is easy af, she will get close, try to trigger dust cloud with your pet and LOS the boulder if your near the big rock and you can do it, she may get close enough to punch you but every time thats happened to me a HS was all it took to undo the damage.
I see multiple classes offering solo mara runs all day long, if you are having a problem soloing princess its a you problem.
Yep. This game is not classic WoW. Itās some kind of hybrid WoW Classic/feel-good implementation. I donāt like it, but I think weāre just going to have to learn to accept it. They tried, but they tripped over themselves hard.
This change was probably not intentional, but now youāre going to have to convince them to pay money to un-fix a mechanic that was probably not intended to begin with. Good luck.
Besides, hunters can solo tribute runs.
The joke is that both classes can solo princess easily, as a lock you can do tinker, princess, and rotgrip easily, if it was actually easy on pservers thats hilarious as they were usually harder by default thanks to balance being done based on memory.
I think people get confused when they see the word ākiteā I can only speak for priests but we dont really kite her, there is no snaring of the boss and she WILL catch up to you a few times during tthe encounter, its about minimizing the amount of times she connects and using shield cdās effectively so you survive when she does.
Late to the party on this post.
To kite her as a hunter you need to bait the dustcloads with your pet, saving dash/dive when it procs, tossing them on passive/follow. Donāt believe sheās moving faster than she was in vanilla.
Your pet will probably die at some point, but thatās the only way I found it doable. On P-Servers, you didnāt have to kite her at all actually. Petās could face-tank easily while you burn her. That said, she easily hits x2 as hard it seems.
Honestly, wouldnāt bother making this your farm, since we (@OP or any hunter) have access to DM:N solo tributes. Post prior to running a handful /1 or world for buyers. Sell rings, staves, trinkets to people who need em. Optional, can sell potions thatāll 100% drop on AH, Books/chests are a bonus. Key is to get this down to around 20 min/per run. Quite nice GPH at that point.
I thought the reason these classes could solo Princess was because they can safely stay at range and keep kiting.
Plus, letās honest ā¦ bosses casting melee range AOE spells while no one is in range would be some seriously stupid mob AI.
I will say, Iāve done princess over 100 times and last week she seems different. The kills have become much more inconsistent, Iām getting hit much harder, sheās fearing much more, sheās not using her cloud when she gets into melee range, and the fight is overall much harder. I thought thatās what you were going to bring up.
I solo her all the time on my shadowpriest. I literally spend 50% of my day doing this.
Now that you mention it, i did have this particular thought cross my mind last week. More than once I did have to run through her to trigger the cloud. I never had to do that before.
EDITS Because Memory is slow
As for face tanking, thereās a whole separate issue of lower level creatures doing way too much damage vs higher level players. She, at level 51, definitely should not be hitting level 60 pets anywhere near as hard as she is.
