Question Glacial Griffon

I have been trying to kill the glacial griffon now for about 3 days and every build i have tried has failed terribly. Could someone please shed some light on how to kill him?

Have you tried the suggestions from the wiki?

Quote:
# The Glacial Griffon has no healing skills, it does have natural health regeneration though. Quick-activating health degeneration skills and kiting are your best bets.
# Spoil Victor is effective against the Glacial Griffon.
# Aura of the Lich and Barbs with 12 Death and Curse can easily kill it.
# Grenth's Balance is a great way to lower the griffon's hit points and heal yourself.
# Gaze of Fury may be used to instantly destroy its spirits and make an offensive spirit of your own.

Illusion Magic does wonders. Go secondary Mesmer and use any old staff.

Bring Illusion of Pain, Conjure Phantasm, Auspicious Incantation, Ether Feast, Accumulated Pain, Ethereal Burden, Kitah's Burden and a PvE skill such as Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support.

Keep away from spirits and edge backwards if the Griffon is snared with either of your Burden spells otherwise it will run back to its ball of spirits.

I am a Derv and was unable to beat him without using another classes skills. I went the burning arrow and apply poisen route. It takes awhile to degen him but if your on the hill out of his aggro range he wont chase you as long as you wait a few seconds between attacks.

this, and bring a running skill (pious haste is pretty good)

just poison him every 5 secs, then run away, he usually looses agro quick, and the poison every 5 secs should be enough to keep him poisoned the whole time so his natural health regen wouldn't kick in

it'll be very slow but it works

Im sure youve got it done by now but if not;
Bring a long bow with;
Burning Arrow

Pious Haste/good ranger running skill

You can find a video on youtube. Theres a ritualist build on there where you can kill it in under a minute.

My standard build is just a D/Rt spirit spammer, works beautifully against glacial griffon just abuse summon spirits to kite the helpless bird around.
