What is the best way for a mage (necro-mage-weaver) to solo it?

All the other bosses are easy for me, but this...this is a piece of problem

[The Silvertiger]

I would probably straight up duel it as if it were another player. It dispels all your summons, yes? So basically just have to throw spells at it and gheal those flamstrikes. It moves slow enough you shouldn't have to absorb any damage. Put your gifts on. You can try wild firing for disrupts. Laying down para/energy fields can help as well. Phys, cold, and poison are the weaknesses. You can probably alternate between mindblast and corpse/poison strike until it's ready for wod. I'm not sure if casting arch protection will work on it or not, but it may be worth a shot to lower it's resisting spells. It will however change the need to cast wild fire since you're no longer disrupting. Just cast attunement first because you're gonna get hit. You have to be within 2 tiles of it for arch to work if it's gonna. After you cast arch you can then decide whether you want to undisruptable or keep your casting speed, resist spells, and phys resist up. Earthquake does really well against it if you can time them right. Slayers work if you can find or have the appropriate scrappers. Be prepared for a really long fight. If you don't have decent fire resist probably not worth trying. Good luck

all bosses could be killed in wraith form by "nature fury-spell spam-nature fury-spell spam"
another question - what template would be MORE effective
necro-mage-weaver is not the most suitable template for solo-boss-farmin especialy for fire immune boss ...
even sampy-wammy in 5-10kk suite is better choise for it :/...or simple ABC archer in crap suite

[Frasier]

Thanks

Yeah, my template is not best optional for Doom (got samp as well) but just wanted to get a try with this one (and actually looking for Plate Of Honor pieces lol).

The problem is lack of mana leech, even with 40 lmc suit
And I don't have med...so when mana goes down, that bastard will butt hurt me plenty.

Nature furys cost too much mana/ each (for me with Abyssmal).
And yes, it dispels all the summons

best choise in your case is to improve your samp

try wammy instead sampy
wraith form + stam\hp leech weapon + curse weapon
its 2 min to change template sampy\wammy

And I don't have med...so when mana goes down, that bastard will butt hurt me plenty.

nobody runs medit
it gives you somthing only if you run high Int ...i havent seen pvm warriors with 100+ int

Nature furys cost too much mana/ each (for me with Abyssmal)

what?))
you cast 1 fury + 2-3spells with mana recovery from wraith form = you have full mp again
nature fury is only to brake Abyssal attack you for 1-2 seconds
i killed Stygian Dragon SOLO with my wammy-sw-thrower with this tact
fury - is the best trick in UO for solo farmin

Thanks
And yes, it dispels all the summons

it does not matter at all
boss waste 1-2 seconds to kill or dispell insects - thats the point!
while you are killin him and restore your mp from wraith form

PS: you should use Earthquake spell (phys dmg)
PSS: ideal temp for it is - wraith form archer with 30-40sw for fury with curse weapon

[Frasier]

best choise in your case is to improve your samp

Ah, no. I don't have any issues with my samp (thank you slayer + 50hml)
The mana leech problem is with my mage/ casting. But yes, I need to improve using him

you cast 1 fury + 2-3spells with mana recovery from wraith form = you have full mp again
nature fury is only to brake Abyssal attack you for 1-2 seconds

This method works nicely in rooms 1-4 when you'll leech enough mana.
And I have slayer book + 50 sdi

you should use Earthquake spell (phys dmg)

Aye, going to test this on next run

[Silent Shadow]

fury-earth-fury-earth
and it would not hit you even ones

[Frasier]

Ok, finally had time to test this...

Earthquake eats too much mana (leech is too low) so it was no go for me.

But I did soloed it. I used furys + Energy bolts. I summoed a Shadow wisp and it seems that when Abyssmal had a chance to cast, it casted on wisp (mostly).
I had to run 4-5 times to gain mana, but it's doable indeed.

DF is much easier

3-4fc sw-mage would do it better with nature fury (less mp per spell, faster casting)

[Frasier]

This is interesting, because I have 4/6 casting, 40 lmc, 51sdi (sw-necro-mage)

The fact is, Abyssmal dispels furys (all summons) faster than you can gain/ leech mana. That is the problem.

summon-dmg spell-summon- dmg spell
from summon you only need dmg absorb and target changing of boss for one attack
