I think the location of the pull, and (I usually use a bow when I do this pull) should be added at the beginning of the video as well. Personally, I think that would be the most difficult part of it!

yeah bow is a good idea, but I couldn't record the pull b/c I stole it at the zone so there was no real "pull" lol,. And I didn't have fraps open or buffs on so I had to buff and get shit under control before i clicked outta my game window for fraps lol

Nice and concise video showing the challenges of the fight, and how one should overcome them while solo. I still have yet to solo zip, though! Duoed him with flute the other day with near perfect bind durations for all I cast on him since upgrading my bind set slightly. ~10 min fight for duo, which is not a record time, but it is nice for quick pocket change. :) Also, I've been pulling for our duos with bind cast at max distance, poison II directly after then Tonko: Ni past the Enkidu if necessary (which is rarely needed these days). Perhaps some day I can be as cool as Keichan and Riker. :)

Omg I love you ;p More RDM solo videos please! I have much to learn. I don't have much confidence in soloing so I haven't even tried ; ;. First time I popped Despot, I tried to melee it lol. Yay for feeding TP!

So Bio 2, poison 2, bind, run, utsu, stoneskin, blink, phalanx, repeat?. You're using spellcast as well? About how long did this take?

I love you more <3 ^^ so I got it around 80% off the steal, then it took about 30-40min I suppose. If you don't chainspell nuke off the start it will take you almost an hour I'd say. Just stay on your toes and its easy. Like I said to funbardii if you can try to bind it at the top of the stairs, and the bottom, not as much in the middle. This way if you get a resist you can buy yourself time by running, and not having to pass him ^^ or any other mob for that matter. Just make sure you don't go too far, and dot's are on so it doesn't go yellow ^^;

I have to strongly disagree with such a method. It not only takes significantly longer, but makes it much harder as well. By simply using gravity full time, and spamming nukes as fast as possible, you can pretty easily kill it in around 8~12 minutes max. Because it's such a quick fight, you won't really build any resistance to gravity even using it pretty much full time

Sorry my response took so long, had a crazy week
