I was playing my Rogue (level 25) and got a pickup group to do Fangore, but it fell apart when we got there. So it occured to me to try to solo him since I could pick off most of the adds in the area 1 by 1.
This proved to be harder than it seemed, because of the quick respawn rate. I only had enough time to take out all of the adds and get one shot at Fangore. If I died and ran back, stuff started respawning on top of me.
Another thing made it more difficult. Fangore has two henchmen that seem to be stray. You can attempt to pick them off when they get out of normal aggro range, but they all come regardless. So that threw me off a bit.
It took me several deaths to figure out the nuances of the area. But eventually I got down to the final battle.
I first sapped Fangore himself, then turned on his mage henchman. I saved evasion for later, and used a potion. Once it was dead I vanished. I got full health and waited for the potion timer to refresh. Then I went in again, this time attempting to sap the melee henchman - but it got resisted. I used evasion and focused on Fangore. He was going down pretty fast, good thing cause I didn't have long. I pumped my potion, and he was almost dead. I finished him off and looted his corpse real quick, right before his henchman killed me.
I must say, that was one of my most satisfying deaths. Even more satisfying is when I announced it on general chat, and the first response was "BULL". ;)
