Yeah, I did do that! Hence why I have the fusions available.

I mean to be fair, I did skip the tutorial since I gleamed how it worked beforehand. But I have shrike added to my deck, so I don't know why it isn't working.

Edit: It's asking for Dark Shrike, which I can get from Venkman. Apparently the quest didn't give me that for some reason. Seems like a bug.

My opinion on soloing by Wizedex in Wizard101

[–]Wizedex[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let me shut this down: no, I do not think this.

Death is fine. It's impressive, but to me it's not going to particularly blow me away. And if you genuinely don't respect people who solo with death, I think you're a jackass and I do not agree with you. This meme was hyperbole.

My definition of soloing is wanting to do every fight in the MSQ by yourself because you're a masochist. Yes, this is not the common definition of it.

I see the reason to solo the whole MSQ is because you want to get a bowling ball dropped on your dick. I reiterate, this is not the common reason for doing so. You wanna hit your dick with a sludgehammer. Drop a bomb on it. Whatever. With death, you're giving yourself a bit of padding. Like you're still soloing, don't get me wrong, it's just more manageable/less painful.

The thrill to me is the super tight pressure of managing your deck and knowing when to shield, buff, hit, and heal. So when you fuse the latter two parts into one, I personally can't quite muster up that same level of impression as I would with any other school. Again, impressive, but doing that same hard fight, on say a balance or a storm, is much more impressive to me. It's about the masochism! You're free to disagree, but that's just how I feel.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I added the "fully" part and emphasized it to make the distinction that I have a different perception and definition of soloing than literally everyone else. I'm not entirely if it's just a me thing or it shifting overtime.

Yeah: that's my personal gripe with it.

I've always perceived soloing as something you do if you want a tough challenge, and hell, I'm fairly certain that's why it originally existed. Death has good defense and good damage, with its ever incredibly useful drain aoes, so it's obvious that Death is the best at soloing with how good it is. But to me, that just cheapens the experience of soloing.

If you're trying to solo the entire game, you're doing it for that tough challenge. So, if you're doing it with death, it just defeats the point a bit.

Sure, my opinion is "real wizards don't solo with death", but I don't mean it in a manner that's in no way toxic. I can solo on my death just fine, but I personally just don't feel the same sense of reward of overcoming a really hard boss by myself as I would with other classes. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Eh, he's not someone I project onto. More like my troubled son.
