Hello everyone,
Do you guys have any pointers for staying alive while fighting this boss? I have more time to play right now thanks to the weekend. I joined the fight against this boss 3 times.
I die almost immediately after he shows up. Then I rezz. Then on the way back I die again. I back and forth 3-4 times. The the boss dies. I could not get looting rights from this boss so far.
Thanks in advance!
Pay attention. Almost every single high level MMO boss can be sussed out with this one tip.
Countdown above your head? Get away from people and stop at 1. Let the flames start, move out of the circle, get back to the boss.
Countdown above someone elses head? Move away from them.
If you're using a melee character on him, you're just asking to be snapped in half like a twig. He hits like a truck and even a Samp will struggle to outheal it, and all the pets/EV's stacked on top of him are 100% going to get you killed when they inevitably get a countdown on them.
If you're an Archer, Shadow's Fury from the Manifestation of Evil event does gang busters on him. Its energy based damage, and his weakness is energy. AI will easily hit for over 100.
Mage, spam Energy Bolt. DO NOT summon EV's or you are a douche thats making things needlessly more difficult for everyone else.
Tamer, be ready to rez your pet constantly. DO NOT call it back to you when it has a countdown, same exact reason as the EV's. If you need to call it back to heal it, wait until theres an opening to do so and be ready to stand inside your pet if they get hit with a countdown during being called back. If you end up in this scenario, wait out the flames, your pet will very likely take heavy damage or die trying to move out of the flames if they're not a "fast follow" pet (Shadowmane, Vollums, Clydesdale, newer pets in general).
Thanks everyone for their pointers! I will keeps these in mind the next time I am fighting them!
If you are a mage just throw EVs from a ways back and hang back.
This is one of the tougher bosses on ATL because there are so many people that they all run when they get the numbers and then it's massive death circles around everyone so you are getting hit from multiple other circles. Very annoying lol. I stopped using my pet because I simply can't run away from EVERYONE fast enough so I end up dying and then my pet does. If I'm on my tamer when it spawns (I use an archer sometimes too) I just hop on my Cu and just run up casting flamestrike (tamer has eval).
