Khalys in Khalys' Elysium

[ArchangelEST]

I think things are fine as they are.

Uber-Bosses like that are needed IMO. You must have something to look forward to in the end-game.

Also as new skills and skill-trees will be released soon, as-well as potentially raising the level cap in the Full Release some day, I believe there is plenty reason not to mess with the current difficulty level.

I really hate games that go too soft on players in the fear of alienating them. That's ridiculous. So I'm glad there are bosses here who are nigh impossible to kill solo and very difficult even in groups.

After all - this is a MMO, so not all content is meant to be finished solo anyway. And I think it's that much more of an accomplishment to finish a Boss meant for a group, all by yourself.

All MMO(RPG) means is Massive Multiplayer Online (RPG) it doesn't mean you can't succeed solo. I'm not asking for an easy time but, as most agree, the "uber" bosses (Khalys etc) are overpowerered.

PS I'm not sure I would want mercenaries (as in D&D).

Either make a seperate 'Solo' difficulty for dungeons (easier mobs with fewer drops perhaps) or adjust the instances dynamically depending on the number of players involved.
The silly idea of holding our dungeon loot ransom inside of 'chests' that require premium-currency keys is just one of the reasons that competition from other games will kill this community off pretty quickly once they release. I can understand doing so in the end-game dungeons but why do that to newbies? >_>

Little tip for Khalys :



Enter combat range, if some smoke appears close enough to you, run to it and wait for Khalys to appear. If there's no smoke close to you, run beyond her lazer range and wait until the combat ends then try again.

Also, during the wind phase, count each time she heals herself (white magic/numbers), on the 9th/10th she will stop casting and you can click on her if you are a DK to run up to her. If she is far away, you will have to click on her or her teleport location again.

If done correctly, the lazer-of-doom spell never hits at all and thus you don't need a player with particularly high health or block.

this is true, if the players tanking are fast enough onto her she will not sue ehr ranged attack.

also as a ranger/ranged class i find it easier to stnad in the circles as i dps..jsut rotating which cirle im stnading in when she ports.i find it better cause i can get more shots off at ehr and keep more damage going on her.this only works well though if the tanks are good at getting to an open circle, or the ranged players who are circledancing are aware of the tanks posotions and if they do need room on your circle you move accordingly so they can get on it with you.

they are not very overpowered, as there already videos out there of them being soloed by 1 player.

i dont think they should be easy, they sohuld be meant to be hard and for a group.they drop very good gear, i dont think said gear should be able to get by solo killing.this would make the whole :mmo: and guild/group feel of the game be a totalw aste.

i think the issue is the level for the first kill quest of her/her set level.at 26 with a full group of 26s, she is very hard to kill. it hink the quest should be set for like 30+ so players should ahve the gear and elvel to be able to kill he at this time.

in regards to the difficulty and being soloed, i have a thead started on this if you wish to take a look/post in it

.

this is the reason i quit wow..true facts.the game was changed too much and made to easy to get the good gear and kill the bosses.

Great....I'm at kahly's now and was reading threads on how to kill her. I'm a level 25 SW. so after reading this thread there is no hope to do it solo. So far I've managed to get this far solo... any input for a SW to beat this boss is appreciated!

oh and thanks Dward for posting that your a level 38 and haven't beat it...really pissed on my sunshine and flowers after reading that. (not mean't in a derrogitory way)

As a ranger or a spell caster, you can stay beyond the laser spell range and outside of her vicinity and shoot your arrows / magic missile at her continuously. I did quite a lot of damage over time to her with my ranger and I ran out of patience since it took me a long time, I got bored and logged out. But, if you wait long enough you should be able to kill it. This way, she didn't even heal. But my damage was pathetic.

However, I think for her level of 26 she is too powerful. On difficult mode, at level 40 I can understand that she is a powerful boss. But, as a level 26, it should be much easier to kill it. I think her attack power may be ok, but she has too much health for a level 26 boss.

You know,
Give me an infraction I don't care.
If there are bosses that need team work to take down, then obviously chat is a very important part of this game, like it is with every multi player game.
The fact that you can't even figure out chat in this game makes this boss an impossibility in the first place.
Also I thought it was lude to offer an infraction for mentioning mercenaries in this thread when the topic of mercenaries have a place here. It's a beta game and needs ideas. To mention mercenaries in a thread about soloing bosses is not out of line.
Thank you
