Do you need a successful hit on a monster in order to be able to activate Deathwish or is it just a flat percentage? I recently moved to a solo guild and basically I'm asking if I'll be able to kill elites for quests by removing all gear, casting DW and Defiance and just attack the elite 20-30 times until DW kicks in?

I'm not sure of the deathwish activation, but...
I just killed the level 750 Elite alone last night with the suicide imp method.
Ouch! You CAN solo MANY if not MOST Elites at your level with a suicide imp setup (gather up enough attack and damage to kill in a max of 6 hits and buff an imp to take the damage for you; use CA175 for more attack and damage, as well as all other buffs you can, which you'd already have on if hunting anyway). I know, because I only use a guild group attack as an absolute last resort. I prefer to solo my Elites by any means necessary, but getting naked and attacking until deathwish kicks in just seems silly.I recently moved to a solo guild and basically I'm asking if I'll be able to kill elites for quests by removing all gear, casting DW and Defiance and just attack the elite 20-30 times until DW kicks in?

I know, that's how I've done it so far but it just so happens that the next elite I'll face, King Zelrokh, at level 700 is sitting pretty with 21k defense which should be impossible to get through solo. Also, the xp hit from dying a couple of times is pretty small, especially since you usually get around 2.5M+ xp for the elite quests.

Don't forget that you can hire mercenaries to help you as well.

I know all that, but it wasn't really what I was asking for.
Since no one seemed to know I just tried it myself, and yes, you can kill stuff with DW while naked.
On average, doing this would take 20 stamina and maybe 100-120k xp loss on the elite. That's 3 hours xp gain or 2 monster kills and a tiny bit of stamina. Not really a big deal.
