    Yumcax solo on BST?

    I'm returned player from about 8 years back and been back about 3 months. Managed to solo the Wilds keeper reives so far but left the tree till last as people keep telling me it's a right bastard. Searching the web brings up loads of threads/info backing this up but they are all years old. Have things changed any?

    I'm master level now and have Ambu +2 gear so not great. I could get help but it's no good if peeps just feed it TP and see bodies on the floor all the time as I've seen reported. I'm thinking of tryin it tonight solo and see if I can grind it down with a pet and trusts.

    The doom move is the big problem. Bring holy waters and be prepared for your pet to bite it when doom lands.

    One thing I should have mentioned is that I have TTHF and WHM both iLvl 119 but far from mastered or geared, though THF has Ambu +2 set.

    I would deffo sub WHM for reraise. Would Aeolian Edge have too big an AoE and hit other mobs?
    I'm wondering if THF/WHM might be best. Can't try anything till home from work.

    Of those jobs, I think BST probably is best. Just load up on cheap pets, sub WHM, and stay at range until your pet dies. Resummon trusts as possible and send them into the grinder. I did this on SMN a while back and it wasn't too bad.

    Tree is weak to slashing and resistant to everything else. The WKR is easy if you have holy waters *AND* holy water enhancing equipment.
    People fail at it because they don't, and they are gimp.

    No way I'm soloing this. Wiped trusts twice and killed three pets. And that was to get it to 96% with me standing out of AoE range. I don't have enough inventory space for the pets and food it would take. Bollocks to it.

    You can just recall the trusts.

    If it's that big a hurdle then you should build your character out in other ways then return to it. Otherwise, team up.

    Went back again about an hour or so later this time as THF/WHM. Stocked up on waters. Just before entering three peeps from LS said they would come help. I pulled it to the little corridor where you enter... and it was down in about 30 secs with their help. OMG what was I concerned about?!

    Ah, I thought you were some kind of solo only player. Yeah, WKRs are easy with modern gear and multiple players.
