Hey everyone,

I’m currently planning a solo project for Alastor (Hard) on my Dragon Shaman and I wanted to get some feedback on whether my projected setup is enough to out-damage his regeneration.

My planned setup:

Class: Dragon Shaman (Skill-based).
Alchemy: Full Excellent Mythic set.
Gear Stats: Around 40-50 Magic Attack Value (MAV) on most pieces.
Specific Stats: +5% Skill Damage against Bosses on both Gloves and Necklace.
Weapon: Serpent Bell +9 with 2/4 base stats (Monster/Skill Damage). Note: At +15, this would reach 25% Monster / 40% Skill Damage.
Push: Full Item Shop / In-game push.

A few specific questions for the experts:

Weapon Upgrade: Is the Serpent Bell +9 sufficient, or is the jump to +15 absolutely mandatory for the raw Magic Attack boost required for Alastor?
Talisman: How high does my Lightning Talisman need to be? Would +50 be enough?
Feasibility: Is it actually realistic to solo Alastor Hard using skills only as a Dragon Shaman?

Thanks for any advice
