Continuing on with my Solo experiment...
I decided to see how difficult elite Undim Fields would be to solo. Short answer, not that bad if you keep your pulls small.
Basically, I cleared the 4 statues, pulling 2 or 3 at a time. The purposeful reset strategy doesn't work here, so you have to be keenly aware of your skill range to only aggro one or two at a time and draw them to an open space. The vines that spawn is something to consider, because if you are not careful, you will get 8-10 suddenly spawning at your feet, and that won't be a very good thing for you.
Basically, I cleared the entire area leading up to and around the 4 statues (one bottom right, one middle bottom, one middle top, one top right), then drew in all shielded mobs to the statue, ensuring a clean area to work with. Of course, Krom did not spawn by the 3rd statue, which would have made this a much faster run, so I went hunting and found him on the middle left part of the map.
Initially, I drew him to the statues I cleared, but Krom's windup attack zone (the shorter range attack) is very, very glitched. If you are next to him but within a few meters outsize the zone, he still one-hit kills you anyway, so after my first death, I decided the safer method is to run him around the cleared zones and Nox him. The DoT from Nox penetrates his shield (as it does to Bael, Overgrowth, etc.), so it was simply easier to kite and Nox without risking a second glitched death.
The Noxing method is slow, but safe. With that in mind, I was able to complete the map in a slow 22:56, but on the positive side, I used less than 200 HP and Mana pots, so pick your poison, time versus pot burn. Granted, you could get lucky and have him spawn between the 3rd and 4th statues, which would probably result in a run more like 13-15 mins, but I would still recommend a Nox based approach for safety and HP pot usage.
I would love to see others take the challenge of soloing elite Shuyal - hope to see screenies soon :-)
Wish all the good things happen to our beloved guild! I really want to play now but the lag made it impossible 
I already have bad ping usually (around 300) and now its 1000 -> 100000 and disconnect
