WC and palaika?

General Discussion Started Last reply 15 posts
Hey,

I was curios if I stand a chance to complete the palaika 73-77 with the following setup:

I am playing a lvl 77 Warcrier (yes still not done with 3rd class change) and are running around with fire/water resistant Major Arcana, with Arcana mace fire+3 and maj jewels.

I am asking since by all accounts, this palaika is scariest of them all.

Would also appreciate any advice on how to proceed.
I did mine on 77 Doomcryer, in Maj heavy.

Just use the spear with the powerup skill, and make good use of the instaheal and shield pots.

The power up skill will 1-shot most of the second row of spawns where guards are. Dont forget to use Soulcry for extra patk.

I got a common maj heavy.

Did you bash their head in with melee spear?

My plan was to hit them with spear skill and then sleep/nuke the rest.
BTW I got nuke aug on my AM and can drag along a birdie for empower.
or just get a bow, even common soulbow will work fine, range them the whole way, and you don't have to deal with the stupid mage group spawn in the back

This is the best way, listen to this guy :).

A simple common soulbow will do the job.
Yeah, the high lvl palaika is pathetically easy for range characters, so I'd try the bow thing. Everything in there nukes fire, so I'd stick with the fire resist MA and consider getting tat jewels (which you should anyway, they aren't that expensive anyway, and crafting them is easy too).

But even with the worst thinkable set-up that palika isn't that hard if you spend some time farming for shields and qhps. I did that thing on my (back then) 77 PP, and if a PP can solo it, anyone can. (I'll admit that that was rather painful and long though - I farmed about 100 pots of each, ran out just in time for the boss, and had to do it all over again (this time with more pots): YUCK)
i done the palio with a 76 WC in tallum heavy using the pole with PP buffs (wish i knew about fire pots) and a couple of boss jewels

your best bet is just find a BD and/or SWS to run around and dance for you and you should be able to VR back most of the damage but failing that you could also add any class who has an AOE heal and they should keep you alive
obviously you will need a heavily botted varka or silent walk so the buffers can follow you without agro
isn't palaika supposed to be instanced dungeon.
How is a buffer supposed to follow me around?
It cannot follow you.
it can if it has an aoe skill but it can't go in and it can't help you for the 6x palio
fill in the dots
Rofl on the part about just using a bow, I tried that and the range isnt enough, you still get nuked, unless you are a true archer with full range. A doomcryer/warcryer does not have full range.


Just use the **** spear.
I did it at lvl 77 DC in Maj-Robe with Tat-Jewels and a Soulbow with CS. I was several times in, to collect enough of the Palaika-pots. Just carry some fire-resist-potions, some Quickhealings and GHPs. Have a SE outside for WW and the Casterbuffs. I just DOT them and use the bow.
I did with my pp + spear + great wolf. Died 3 times but still got 25% xp
Doing it with the spear and WC+PP buffs I never died.
again. just bring a sws/bd/bish and you will breeze through it
sure they won't mind following you around for 20 mins
