Update: Mage Solo Mara Dagger Farm - Quick run and kill 

@ 1:02 you can go between the rocks and reset the basilisk packs if needed, also wait for the rock ele pack to pass

You can also jump against the wall as you're running your wide circles (think of a wall-slide jump) and it'll cause princess to stutter step from evading for 0.5-1 sec. Repeating this stutter step creates enough distance between you and princess that you wont need to blink to create distance anymore. I haven't had to use a consume in any run and never need to use more than 1 mana gem (havent needed to evo either -- i use mage armor though, just cuz i havent done my molten armor rune yet). My gear consists of zero pieces of raid gear or profession epics (honor gear, a couple phase 1 pieces, and some BoE's)

quick tip, if you are far enough away (over 30y) and she starts to cast boulder you can just stand still so she cant finish casting it ;) abusing leeway in that regard will also give you a faster kill time and options for you to scorch or hardcast any spell before blinking away out of 40y range of her. (you already used that idea for evocation as you said)

what kind of mage discord is it? do you have a link? :)

Well now im back after 5 years since i did this. Better droprate so here we go

Thanks for your first video guide. I actually do the same (don't even have helm rune). I'm running it all without any potions either so it's doable. I'm also soloing princess in Irradiated set with 1.3k hp.

Best of luck! A few guildies got it after farming all day!
