  • [Guide] Kelsaik Nest Lancer Solo (Updated)

    @Lolita
    This is a guide to clear it as quickly as possible. Of course you could do it with t11 lance, but why would you want to do that if you can get t14 Wonderholme?


    And answering your question: yes, I think we need a modern KN guide. The last one I saw was targeted at t12/t13 gear.
    Also, I've recently seen too many lancers who either: a) still fail to solo KN, or b) take over 10 minutes to kill Kelsaik.


    So, in essence, this guide should help them shorten their clear times.

    This is an updated version of Kelsaik Nest Lancer solo guide.

    1. Weapon:

    • +12 Wonderholme Quick Lance or +12 Nightforge PvE Lance.
    • 14 crit rate, 8.6% more damage to target with highest aggro, 6% more damage.
    • If you have Nightforge Lance, as 4th roll get 0.3 crit damage or 4.5% attack speed.
    • Nightforge Lance isn't really much better than Wonderholme Quick Lance - it will make your runs faster only by 20-30 seconds.
    • You can also get Wonderholme Keen Lance, but you will need to roll 4.5% attack speed instead of 6% more damage.

    2. Chest:

    • Wonderholme Chest or Visionmaker Chest or Nightforge Chest.
    • Doesn't have to be +12, it's enough to get +9.
    • It's important to roll 15% more damage on spring attack.
    • Other rolls aren't very important.
    • If you really want to, you can roll for: restores 0.4% HP when attacking, 6.9% less damage from frontal attacks, 6% less damage, 8% more HP.

    3. Boots:

    • Wonderholme Boots or Visionmaker Boots or Nightforge Boots.
    • Doesn't have to be +12, it's enough to get +9.
    • 6% movement speed, restores 1% MP, 4 endurance.
    • I recommend getting Wonderholme Boots, as they restore more MP than Nightforge Boots.

    4. Gloves:

    • +12 Wonderholme Gloves for Berserker or +12 Nightforge Gloves for Berserker.

    • 2.25% attack speed, 5 power, 9 crit rate.

    • Don't use Lancer Gloves, as they don't increase your power.

    5. Earrings:

    • Zenith Earrings or Cascade of Desire or Sharp Noctenium Earrings.
    • Very important to roll decreases stun duration by 10% on both earrings.
    • The second roll isn't important. It's nice to get 4.5% more HP or restores 0.48% HP.

    6. Necklace:

    • Kelsaik's Focus or Kelsaik's Rage.
    • 2 crit rate on rollable stat.
    • If you feel like you are too slow, get Kelsaik's Focus. Otherwise, get Kelsaik's Rage.
    • This necklace has a hidden 3 power stat. It's a better choice than Zenith Necklace.
    • This necklace also has Pulsing Flame, which will stagger Kelsaik, giving you more time to DPS.

    7. Rings:

    • Zenith Rings.
    • Very important to roll 4 crit rate.
    • The second rollable stat isn't important. You can try to get 0.04 crit damage.
    • Zenith Rings are better than Rings of Pain. I spent many hours testing it, and with Zenith Rings my runs were faster by 30 seconds (on average).

    8. Crystals:

    • 3x Mutinous Crux and Fine Carving Crux.
    • 4x Fine Vigorous Crux.
    • 4x Pristine Powerful Zyrk.
    • You can also try replacing Pristine Powerful Zyrks with Pristine Carving Zyrks.

    9. Glyphs:


    10. Consumables:

    • Onslaught Scroll of Savegery V.
    • Nostrum of Energy V.
    • Not really necessary, but you can also use Mana Elixir VIII.
