	I'm toying with doing some wraps monk lives on an alt. I really like the Tharaak handwraps(yes I know they are terrible, I just like watching things get PK'd), but that character doesn't have them. I'm wondering how difficult it would be for a level 30 barb to solo this level 18 raid?

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	Hound isn't bad. But a barb? Take a caster life before going monk... you got boxes anyway....

	Should be a piece of cake. I haven't done it with a barb but with a fighter, steamrolled it.

The character is normally a caster anyway, specifically an EK wizard(hence all the melee lives). The plan was to do 3 fighter/3 barb/3 monk. But I could do a sorc in there just for giggles.

Worst case scenario I camp out for an hour and then kill her.

	Haven't tried hound. But, on my bow user I soloed ToD a bunch of times. Ended up being a fair bit easier than I expected. Some runs I didn't have to heal. Like in any way other than shrining... Ran it on heroic leet a bunch of times. EDIT: Oh and I wasn't really kitting. I was standing for archer focus stacks and face-tanking. Sometimes I used anchor boots, but mostly I didn't.

	Lol, gonna have to try ToD too. Not much motivation, there, but I could see dragging my 5 naked barbarians along and getting like 3 items. Who knows? Eventually ToD might gets Legendaried and we'll be able to upgrade the loot like all the old S/S/S items.

	Doubt they'll work on updates anymore unless they have a stall of some reason on licensing new shit for money. That said, you have to solo pretty much all raids, filling is painful even on big ticket ones like VON that everyone would like to solo but probably can't (getting through the damn doors).

VON still gets run because its very good XP/min, and people are typically flagged since its 4 easy to access flaggers that are also very good XP. All the other heroic/early epic raids? Fuck 'em.

	Cuz I can normally solo it, ADQ is a definite at level quest to go though nearly every life... despite the pita with hitting the wrong thing and having to re-kill the center stuff.

You can pretty much assume that anything you can't do, a skilled player can and anything a skilled player can do with ease, you can't do at all.

Failing to try hard at insulting someone for not being a try-hard. I feel like there's some irony to be found in this, but I'm not willing to put forth the effort to go looking for it.

	Lord help me. Admittedly, I see given our past history why you’d assume I was being sarcastic or trying to insult you. You got me wrong this time though. I’m trying to help you cut to the chase and reduce the amount of our time you waste with your pathetic pleas for attention. Ask not “can it be done.” It can. Just assume that from this day forward. Whatever you come up with, a superior play can, has and is doing it at this moment. Yes, it absolutely can be done – just probably not by you. So what you want to ask is: how can a pleb like me accomplish this task? Cut to the chase and ask for tips, gear, tactics, whatnot. A better players might take the time to give you sound advice that you’ll promptly fuck up and fail massively with because you suck. Have you considered Stardew Valley?

I didn't read any of them because every single one was gay and retarded, but still - thanks for taking the effort. Shows you're really trying.

If you are trying to get XP and limit the party to the bravery bonus spectrum, i can see even VON not getting up to 6. Also remeber that not all servers have the same people on em. Which in some cases might really be much better They could probably consolidate all the servers down one more time around to force some more population. Or drop the whole server bullshit and build some real infrastructure that can handle infinite amount of players... but they'd have to be mildly competent for either....

At least on Legendary and assuming on heroic? Because why? IDK. I did my Legendary farm on bullshit parking bots until the timer expired. So if it is still the 60 min timer on heroic HOX, let us know.
