the last time i went there to kill glint i picked up an egg and so did someone else when we did that glint was confused and didnt know who to attack. by they way i only did that about 2 days ago so it should still work.

Spinal Shivers = Glint-meat. Have a necro with high curses reapply it frequently. Use winter. Hit her with lots of elemental damage. With no skills ever resolving she's a walk in the park. It's actually funny how easy this skill makes it - just make certain the necromancer bothers to keep energy up if you are relying on this as the interrupt source.

I went down there with some guildies a couple days ago... I needed to do the mission with my Ranger, and they were going down to kill Glint, so we teamed up and did it together.

Basically all I had to use was Posion Arrow, Hunters Shot, and Distracting Shot. I actually had the pleasure of striking the finishing blow (or taking the final shot, however you look at it).

Ranger with Degen and Interrupts FTW!

And yes... I did breakdance on her head. Somebody asked me that...

Glint can be killed with no difficulty at all with an axe warrior with an elemental axe head, dismem/evisc, axe twist, disrupting chop, and a monk. Anything else is just there to make it faster.

Well, my friend and I just defeated Glint for our first time. After all the helpful hints in this thread, we devised our own variation. since my main character is a ranger, and my friend is a necro, we decided to use the best of both worlds.

Necro: Spinal Shivers, Grenth's Justice

Ranger: Savage Shot, Appy Poison, Greater Conflagration, Winter

This combo worked beautifully. Poison and GJ just helped to bring Glint down that much faster, and I actually didn't need to fire savage even once. The clincher here is the GC-W-SS, since the two spirits together make all damage cold damage, Glint couldn't get off a single spell and the dragon went down hard and fast. The only thing you need to be careful of is that with such continuous interruption, your necro's energy goes down fast, so kill Glint quickly, and if you can work in some energy regen skills it helps a lot.

Of course, you can't do this on your very first visit to the Dragon Lair immediately after ascension, since Greater Conflagration has to be capped in Hell's Precipice. But it does work well if you're going back to clean up all those bonuses you missed. Anyway, I hope this helps some future dragon slayers, good luck!

Ranger ftw. 1 minute after this Screen shot the two other bots died and I was playing shoot 'n run, I got glints health down to the 31__ mark then he decided to hit me hard

So we've had about 30 strategies for stopping Jagged Crystal Skin.... yet no-one had even the slightest common sense to include a mesmer with Diversion and Wastrels Worry?

I killed her on my monk once both the tanks were dead, not exactly difficult if you interrupt Crystal Hibernation. She just kept laying into a ranger with Prot Spirit on him, i think she got a bit pissed though in the end and started using Crystal Bonds, luckily both the ranger and Glint dropped at the same time.

I don't think Monster-only skills can be shutdown with Diversion (or Blackout for that matter).

But anyways with a Mesmer it's easy:

Ineptitude
Clumsiness
Cry of Frustration
Leech Signet (instead of Power Drain, since LS can interrupt Crystal Hibernation)
Inspired Hex

Since Inspired Hex can't change into Glint's hexes, it has an instant recharge, so you can remove the exhaustion hex quickly (make sure you remove it from yourself first, I sat there with a fully-greyed out energy bar before I noticed I was hexed, which is somewhat related to the used-up Res Sig...)

I killed Glint with 2 friends and rest henchies a few days ago

Myself: Ne/M with Blooddamage skills (Elite OoB), RezSig and one Mesmerskill - Cry of Frustration
Friend 1: E/Mo with Ressurect and Fireskills only, straight damage
Friend 2: W/E with Axe and Disrupting Chop and Rest whatever
Lina, Alesia, Reyna, Dunham and Orion as Henchies afaik

I took the Egg, dropped it, the Warr was right next to Glint, we started to pile damage on Glint, I interrupted whenever Cry was ready, the Warr interrupted when I couldn't. He died in the meantime, got ressed and we managed to kill Glint, took us maybe 2-3 minutes and was not really hard to do. Could have been faster but hey, we are just casual players

, therefore we missed a few (2 afaik) interrupts
With Friend 3 online we would have had a Ranger with additional interrupts, should have made it way esier.

Jetdoc · May 08, 2006, 03:47 PM // 15:47

Does the egg trick still work on Glint with the Book/Gear fix?

bam23 · May 10, 2006, 12:17 AM // 00:17

No it doesn't.

1 ranger with savage shot and distraction shot = gg glint.

As far as i know Glints can be. Jagged Crystal Skin can be for sure, that or she just happened to not bother using it for a long period of time...

Ahh great! I was basing my assumption on Shiro, who continues to use his skills normally after being Diverted and Blacked-out.

Katari · May 11, 2006, 03:36 PM // 15:36

Distracting Shot + 7 Henchies Anyone can go /R for Distracting. Bring Distracting Blow and Wild Blow if you're a warrior. Aditionaly, if you're a warrior, don't bring melee henchies.

I don't really remember how we beat Glint with my monk, but I do seem to recall a mesmer in group that did iterrupt her. We all died except for 1 person. That one person was the "leader" that knew what they were doing and she eventually got everyone rezed. From there we regrouped and actually went over a strategy. It was pretty simple once we all worked together.

As a side note that Dragon's Lair mission was the one and only time I had someone run succor on my monk. An E/Mo ran succor on me for most of the mission. I don't think I ever ran into energy problems and I was spamming heals like a mofo too. I think that I have pretty good energy management, but if you have succor on you then its pretty easy to just pump out the heals with little concern for energy management. However, most of my heals were only 5 energy heals except for heal party which is 15 energy cost.

Personally i hate exploring anywhere because of mesmers

Even Ascalon gets frigging annoying with gargoyles spamming Imagined Burden on you!

Dove... its just a shame that after the item fix, holding the egg will no longer make her focus on you, even though it would make sense in this case imo.

Just went to capture Gladiators Defence on my Ranger and ended up killing Glint... no bleeding or poison, just an interrupt build w/ Punishing Shot. After not bothering to read Crystal Haze again i ended up with 0 energy pretty quickly... (thought it was spells only

) the 2 warriors died after the 3rd wave of Crystal Skin spamming, after that the henchman somehow clung on for dear life till she died.

Before they changed the item aggro, I beat it running a boon/prot monk build. One of the other players carried the egg while I just kept Protective Spirit on him (with Divine Boon off). I also carried Inspired Hex to remove the exhaustion hex Glint casts on you. Since you can't copy it, it has no recharge and you can take it off the whole team, as already pointed out by LuxA. Glint casts that hex so often that my monk still had problems with exhaustion, even when I took it off myself first every time.

Since the item aggro has changed, I offer this method. Bring an Elementalist/Mesmer carrying Inspired Hex so that the exhaustion won't be as crippling. Also, a Ritualist with Shelter and Soul Twisting. All the Ritualist has to do is keep Shelter running constantly. Everyone else can pretty much bring whatever they think will kill Glint the fastest.
