How I did it:
2 LoD monks (with prot spirit)
Barbs
Assassin
Physical Damage, Physical Damage, Physical Damage.

then whatever else

I did it with my Dom Mes, BHA interupter, SV Necro, SS, Necro, Phimplo, Lina, Zho, and Herta I believe. Just went after him and made sure he couldn't use the lava wave thing. Granted you take damage every time you interrupt, but kill him fast enough and the monks can keep up with that long enough. Took all of two minutes maybe.

that talk about destroyers not taking extra damage from cold doesn't make sense because I was hitting big numbers with my ids with conjure frost in the GOLEM quest, on the warriors to boot.

Hell, the Hand and Heart of destruction end "bosses" were being hit with 50-60 damage from criticals...their armor is supposed to be alot higher than that right? I mean, I do that to the 80al dummies.

Hench: Zho, Mhenlo, Lina, and Herta

Heroes: Olias (curses), Zhed (earth), Tahlkora (prot)

I was an illusion mesmer running degen.
I had SS on Olias at first and couldn't quite take him out but then I switched it to Grenth's Balance and he went down (practically) without a fight.

I found this the easiest end-game boss to defeat so far. And that's saying alot.

I didn't really know what I was doing. I was playing rit spirit spammer with necro and mes heroes for hexes. I was trying to figure out where to stand to not get burned, with the heroes and henchies flagged on the shore so they wouldn't die while I checked things out.

Lo and behold, the great destroyer waddles right up to me and starts attacking. I was in a burning area still and my build was completely useless, so I just used the one or two skills that actually did anything in that situation (pve skills I think). And while I tanked the great destroyer, my heroes and henchies destroyed it from onshore. I never came close to dying even though I had no skills helping me tank. And my heroes killed him ridiculously fast.

I almost felt like I had cheated or something. Cyndr had been a far bigger challenge with my H/H and no anti-knockdown. I was expecting something at least on that level, given that I hadn't really prepared for it.

I agree with Andisa, I'm surprised how easy it was to take the Great Destroyer down. Barring an initial "shock" which the monks managed to get under control very quickly - no one died until we were mobbed by 8 destroyers that were (apparently) raised during the fight.

Cyndr was a huge challenge with hh, but the Destroyer really wasn't that hard.

pain inverter is the easiest way, but if you dont have it, just make all your heroes x/rit and give them warmongers weapon. whenever you intterupt him, he does a huge damaging skill with a knock down. this skill itself can actually be interrupted, and I am pretty sure his defensive mode skill can be intterupted as well, considering he never went into defensive mode when i fought him with warmongers on all my heroes. with warmongers weapon on all your physical attackers + intterupt henchman and he won't be able to cast anything.

I toke my Icy axe and hero's.....3 minutes he was down.

Folken ~oOo~ · Sep 20, 2007, 08:13 AM // 08:13

Dunkoro : build LoD
Thalkora : Extinction + 1 rez
Sosuke : Water build with Elite ward against fire damages

any Henchies with you : easy win
take menhlo too if you have difficulties.

I went as w/e with some crappy skills but pain inverter and ward of stability,

heroes were:
livia as SV.
Acolyte Jin as interrupter
ogden with LOD

henchies:
2 monks
2 eles

kill the detroyers surrounding him first, then walk back and regen. Walk up to the great destroyer and cast ward of stability around your hench/heroes as much as possible. Make sure your interrupter interrupts his Enraged blast so he casts lava blast [[WITH PAIN INVERTER ON HIM!!]]. Drops him really fast.
As pain inverter deals 8 x 80 damage back to him everytime he uses lava blast and you are taking only 75 dmg and you're not KD'd with ward of stability. With to 2 LODS you can easily heal.

Just an update Touchies is a quick way to go I made a minor change to my build and was able to poke him to death. Should have thought of it before. I took 2 necros with the blood stealing setup One with SV and me with life transfer. 2 touchie Rangers with grenth’s balance and storm chaser (not sure if they got the energy boost?) What I did not have on my skill set was

[skill]Demonic Flesh[/skill] and it made all the difference

First I killed his friends that are on the left side and the ones he spawned. Then I ran back to the shore and had to afk had something to attend to (Baby

). Regained all health and energy hit the flesh called him as a target and flagged and charged with life transfer opening attack at least for me then I touched him. Thanks for all the suggestions hopefully other people are helped from them as well. Not sure if anyone else noticed but cores drop pretty well during this mission. I usually get at least one from the limited amount of destroyers.

Thanks again

You seriously mean that is possible? if so i'm gonna SLAP myself for missing buttons in laggy dungeons and so on ><

Just made Zhed to be main tanker.Mantra of fire , Armor of Ice, Ward aganist harm and blah,blah,blah attacking spell.

Clearing all his baddies and process to the bigguy which made him hungry enough that he just go for the horse. All I have to do is interrupt his minions calling skill and Tell Zhed to hold still while the grate destroyer have a piece of him.

Hollerith · Sep 20, 2007, 08:28 PM // 20:28

I brought

Olias: SV with Extinguish & that signet of E-mgt from SR.
Norgu: Dom with Extinguish & a couple E-mgt skills.
Jora: Random sword skills

Lina, Mhenlo, Talon, and someone else. Maybe Eve?

I've beat it a couple times with H/H (as a P and R), and as long as you bring a couple Extinguishes, it's not too difficult.
