Koosun's staff is nice but the price had gone down quite a bit. However, the potiential drop of a lvl 28 warrior boss is what kept me going. These is what i got from him so far(about 40+run),

phoenix blade, req8 (cross my fingers when i id it), but it turn out +19 below 50, and a gemstone axe,req9 , +15/-5e(which is a decent axe).

It's just you, I'm afraid. If you're absolutely convinced this is the case then either use Immolate right at the end, or if you think that if you use celestial storm at all it won't drop... you're wrong.

Kai's sword is still dropping, I got one yesterday as E/W... I use 2 running skills just in case for the 1 fixed unmoving spawn at the bottom of the stairs (charge and sprint), fire attunement, Rodgorts Invocation, Mark of Rodgort, Meteor Shower, Firestorm and Celestial Storm. He is usually fried by the time I cast 2nd Invocation. Sadly the chest that occasionally spawns near him has been mostly dropping purples. I use a fortitude bow for running to him, and switch to my sup rune of fire headgear when I get past all the mobs.

Ventius Hozza · Jul 08, 2006, 11:33 AM // 11:33

Anyone know if the bosses have been un-bugged yet? I haven't really been GWing lately

jtchans · Jul 08, 2006, 03:05 PM // 15:05

I was purely interested in Warrior items to start with so I only went for Kai's Sword using a Frenzied Warrior/Disrupting Chop.

Then I saw this post and thought I would try Koosun as well, but my the only other characters that are able to do the area so far are my Mesmer and Ranger.

I'm sure I could have outfitted either to do the job, but I do like to find away for my Warrior to do everything.

So, I decided to try a W/Me Illusion build.

Skills

Conjure Phantasm
Images Of Remorse
Mantra of Persistance
Drain Enchantment
Energy Tap
Sprint
Charge
Healing Signet

Attributes

Illusion 12
Inspiration 12
Tactics 3

Equipment

+5 Energy Weapon
The Rockmolder

Basically I just had enough time on the running skills to get there and the Healing Signet was just in case I got degen on me.

To kill Koosun I put Mantra of Persistance up, used Conjure Phantasm/Images of Remorse, then to get energy I used Energy tap and removed her Sliver Armor with Drain Enchantment.

Rinse and Repeat.

Slow, but It got me the Staff and now my Elementalist is happy.

Kaane · Jul 12, 2006, 08:03 AM // 08:03

Alright, I figured out how to do it pretty quickly with my N/E. I was having problems with energy and it was taking forever, but then I went and nabbed an elite... well, here's the results (and it kills Kooson very quickly)

Blood 13 (10+3)
Air Magic 8
Fire Magic 12

Offering of Blood [E]
Life Siphon
Vile Miasma
Immolate
Breath of Fire
Fire Storm
Fire Attunement
Windborne Speed

However I simply cannot kill Kai. Tried and tried and tried, I can't make any headway past about 2/3 health. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I've found that using Armor of Mist (with Water Magic @ 8 instead of Air) actually works a good bit better.

Kaane · Jul 12, 2006, 08:22 PM // 20:22

Well, gotten Koosun's Staff once (on my first run this morning) as well as a rather nice Platinum Longbow (+15% always, -10 armor while attacking) out of a chest.

It should be noted that there is often a chest next to one of the two bosses, so it's a good idea to carry keys.

I still haven't had any luck killing Kai...

Kaane · Jul 13, 2006, 06:52 AM // 06:52

Alright, I know I'm going overboard with this but I've enjoyed the challenge.

Basicly I found that there was simply no way for me to solo Kai with my N/E. Just no way. I tried everything, from heavy degen builds (healing signet wiped the floor with them) to using Rust + Gust along with degens. Nothing worked--he either healed through it or I ran out of energy.

So then I tried using my W/Me... no luck either, until I tried using "Ignorance." Killed him quickly, first time.

So basicly if you have Mesmer as your primary or secondary you should have no problem killing Kai.

makosi · Jul 13, 2006, 11:59 AM // 11:59

Are the bosses even dropping greens? Tried many many times and most of the time there are no drops at all. Is it because they aren't attacking? It's really pissing me off because other people (who havethe collector's edition of GW:F btw) are getting the green drops.

Acehigh · Jul 13, 2006, 12:06 PM // 12:06

they drop greens,ive done 10 or so runs,and managed to get 3 kai's sword's and 2 koosun's staffs,so yup they do drop

makosi · Jul 13, 2006, 12:26 PM // 12:26

And you have the collector's Edition?

ThunderStruck · Jul 13, 2006, 03:17 PM // 15:17

Ooh, I'll have to try this later! Is there any chests along the run?
