I'd been trying to drum up support from my friends and shellmates to go kill Miser Murphy with me, but apparently everyone had already had a horrible experience with him so I got no takers. I found an ancient thread on Alla about soloing him, though ... I have a fetish for soloing ridiculous things. It's in my blood as a rdm, I guess. ^^
So last night after getting my Orc Crest for G3 I decide to give it a shot. I trek out to Fei'yin and test the water a bit, happy to find that not even the golems on the first floor still aggro me. I buff up as much as I can, throw Gravity on Murphy to give me a head start and start booking towards the zoneline. I swear this ghost has ADD I had to go back and get him so many times. Anyway, I drag him over to the zoneline finally and start doing my cycle of zone out, sit a tick, buff, pop in and Burn, zone out, sit a tick, buff, pop in and Poison II, and so on. One time I wasn't fast enough and got smashed with his absurd 500 damage added effect drain attack, but overall it's going pretty good.
I get him down to about 80% this way and hear footsteps in Beaucedine. Uh oh. I was afraid it was a party of 40s here for 5-1 that I was about to get murdered by leaving a high level NM next to the zone. Turns out it was the opposite luck. A 75 thf/nin and his whm friend there to duo Shiva. I offer to Gravity kite it for him so he can get by, but he just says "zone in." I do so and find him with the mob claimed, engaged with his back to it waiting for me to accept an invite.
So he proceeds to basically solo it for me, which was really impressive. There was one time that one of the aforementioned 500 damage drain attacks got through and me and the whm had to dump a Cure IV on him, but otherwise he owned it. I stay and chat with them for a while and they're really cool people, and I'm happy to be one step closer to my sweet hat but I leave kinda disappointed. I was so gonna solo that thing. I probably was going to succeed too, but now I'll probably never know if I had the skill to solo Miser Murphy at 60.
Anybody else ever feel like this or is it my own unique psychosis?
