Solo'ing Giant Monsters

Any brutes able to do this? I have several toons (tanks and brutes) that can stand there and beat on one all day w/o dying myself, but I cannot deal the dmg to take 'em down. Specifically the ones on Monster Island.

IF you have a build that's been able to take one down, please share that info w/ me.

Thanks,
Tourettes.

My Inv/SS tank has beaten down at least Jurassik.

I did kinda have to run him to the ragged edge of endurance exhaustion to do so. But I got me my two merits!

Cool...and thanks for the tip in your SIG about making the launcher less intrusive. I used that back when you first posted it and it helped me out greatly!

Was this without temp powers and incarnate abilities? I tried to solo him with my WP/SM tanker and got him down pretty far but once my Longbow pets disappeared he started to regen and we were at a stalemate for 30 mins.

You'd need to have a high Single-Target DPS set, so sets like SS, Dark Melee or Energy Melee might work. Also, you want to be durable enough to not get pummeled, so IOs will be a must.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

My Energy/Energy Brute is in the same boat. He cannot deal out enough dmg to bring one down. Also, I'm not talking about the rare spawn GM's. I mean the Monsters out on Monster Island in PI.

No this was with Incarnate abilities.
Basically I spawned my Lore pets and beat on him until they disappeared.
Then I beat on him to keep him at about the same health and he climbed back up a little before I could spawn my Lore pets again. Once the pets were up, I whittled him all the way down.

I've done it with a purpled out SS/Fire/Mu with my lore pets. I soloed Adamastor and got the Kraken and Scrapyard down to 20% HP before my pets poofed.

I could probably do it if I went and filled my tray with medium or large reds rather than small ones to keep up my damage up at the cap for the entirety of the Lore pet time.

Thanks man.
