BTW to anybody who already saw my first attempt, this is a new video. Enjoy!

When I made this I had pretty much already turned my brain off. It wasn’t until he was at about 10% that I realized I was actually doing well :P

Gotta say I am really impressed. Those two times you went down you had the ability to dodge it and get away, but just must have flubbed it. I feel like you could do a full solo run despite those moments.
That being said, you had some incredible thief play. I’ll have our dudes here take a look at it to make sure nothing funky is going on or something isn’t broken, but from my point of view this was just a nice classy run. Great job!

Nah, that looked full legit from where I sit. Very impressive use of your shadow stepping to get in and out as needed.

Very impressive shadow stepping indeed.

Yeah, it just looked like you flubbed something when you went down – I fully believe you could do a perfect solo. I’ll also look into this dodge roll bug…

How can you use heal by mouse click on icon? It really faster using shortcut. Nice fight btw.

I use mouse click as well. I actually unbind my heal skill from my keyboard so I don’t accidentally use it trying to do something else. The mouse click means my brain has a moment to think about if I really need it or not, and thus I don’t end up wasting heals in dire situations.

Okay, so we know a Thief can do this. It seems only logical since they have such high evading capabilities. Warriors used to be able to do solo this guy, but I’m not sure about now. Have there been any other reported professions able to solo Lupicus (proof or very well argued theories)?

My guess of other possible professions:
Elementalist, Guardian, Mesmer(?)

I bet a ranger could do it easy… it just might take a bit longer. Sword\dagger and short bow, and go full condi and evasion, and I bet it could be done. I may just have to try it myself… but I imagine people who say I am using dev stuff and not being fair.
