Help please, sorcerer/instance thing!

[Kede]

When you enter a solo instance with a sorcerer, the first thing you think about is getting a pet.

Its seems that you cannot get close enough to the first mob, without getting aggro. Because there is a wall corner obstructing your LoS. You cannot nuke the mob more than 1 time before it is in melee range. So you will get maybe 2 nukes on the mob.
The mob is blue con, so it needs 4 nukes or so.

I tried to mezz it, so I could get some distance before nuking, but it aggroes before you get LoS, and is there before you can cast mezz. You need insta mezz.

Also when you get aggro, you cant be sure to escape the instance, because you get "bad jump point" message for the door. So the exit isnt always an exit.

I lost alot of xp on this, and I really want to try out catacombs instances, without having to make another class. Does anyone have an idea to what I should do with that 1st mob?

Did you try using quick casting a mez? There's loads of a LOS and pathing issues in all dungeons, why I hate them.

if you get bad jump point, run out and back into the door. IF you enter at a different area it should work.

The way to get a pet as a Sorc is simple.. quickcast mezz on the first mob.. wait like 10 sec to "get out of combat" so u can charm the mezzed mob.. demezz your new pet and start clearing...

 

[Bahumat]

mishal is correct but once mezzed you need to wait till the ZZZZzzz dissappear...then charm and then demezz...maybe it is 10 seconds but i always wait till the zzz go away

Instances are kinda slow as a solo sorc, and you need to be full mind spec for the lv32 charm if you want to solo the undead dungeons.

Depending on the level of your sorc, the Keltoi instances are ok. Easy to charm mobs in there as most are neutral.

I missed the lv21-31 task instances at Avalon marsh, because they spawn undead sometimes. The lv31-41 task instance at Caer Ulfwych is another bitch, you need to run up to salisbury plains to find the dungeon :x

Doing dungeon instances in a duo-trio is gives decent XP... but finding someone to group with is the hard part.


TBH, you'll probably level faster if you take your sorc+buffbot to a regular spawn. Camp bonus is quite high in some places oO

I actually think that exping around an NF outpost gives more ep than instanced anyway, and there you can also use a bb if you have one available

tip for geting yellow pets in task dungions if grouped, normaly this is a No No as soon as you group task dungion = orange mobs kinda a bummer for the sorce or ment tbh, but feer not we have the answer..

Simply group up, leader asks for task and of you go as normal, now the smart bit, let sorcerer or ment enter first and grab a pet, then rest can enter. Result = sorce pet stays yellow, but rest dungion sudenly all orange

Just though few might like to know so they can duo few tasks and still have a pet

QC mezz will work but instanced dungeons are far from ideal for any caster. Fortunately in an upcoming patch, soon I think, you will have the option of choosing standard layout or long-hallway layout when you are given the task.
