Curse

Rebirther · Jun 02, 2006, 07:58 PM // 19:58

Ok this boss is quite hard to get on his own as there are 2 groups, maybe alot easier with other classes but I felt like a challenge

- this boss took me 5-10mins to get on his own - this is using the standard Grenth's Balance warrior farming build.

---------------
For Razorfin Fleshrend [Drops Warrior Razorfin's Axe]
---------------
Class:
W/N

Attributes:
Tactics: 16 (12+3+1)
Strenght : 12

Skillset:
1/Grenth's Balance
2/Riposte
3/Deadly Risposte
4/Botteni's Defense
5/Dolyak Signet
6/Healing Signet
7/Endure Pain
8/Sprint

Strategy:
Start at Seafer's Rest and head into Rhea's Crater, it would extremely be helpful if you can activate the luxon res shine (just have more luxon points than kurzick).

To get to him there is two groups of enemies that can be a pain the ass to get past, since they gale you every couple of seconds upon approach, so what are we going to do about that?.... kill them? yep thats right!... but not with this build and by you!
At the start there is a group of Afflicted, lure them onto the first group of enemies on the path to Razorfin, the afflicted should win but if they don't there is a large group of Afflicted that you can aggro if you head up the steps from the start, stand close enough and use radar aggro - the afflicted group + 1 mesmer boss will come to you - thats fine.
Use the afflicted as your weapon to kill the groups to get to Razarfin, rinse and repeat - when that is done just wait for afflicted to go back and progress.

When you've cleared that part you'll notice Razorfin is accompanied by his friends, one of them is a smiter and uses Balth's Aura- this you can handle, look at the screenshot and notice my position, you'll have to tactically lure this boss closer to the top of the stairs or to a position where there is a wall which you can line the creatures across, you can however take them on as group which is what I done during my second run but it was too troublesome and nearly died on several occasions.
In the screenshot this place worked best as it allowed me to solo each creature one at a time rather than having all three bashing on you at once, this position is also good as it blocks the monk in his group away from you so he won't heal his comrads, from here just take them out one by one. Unfortunatly he didn't drop this time around but managed to get the axe of him after 6-7 runs.

If you try this youll notice that he'll keep running back after a certain point, the key is to get to the top of the corner of the stairs and then let them run back, use bow to aggro them again and they'll come running back to you, let them get a few hits of and then walk slowly back up the stairs whilst you still hug the wall, when you reach half way activate dolyak's signet and continue to walk back - if you do this the creatures that are attacking you won't run away but the casters will, look at the radar on the screenshot and notice my enemies- you can see the afflicted running back and you can see the caster in this boss's group is too far away to be of any assistance.

To solo this with a W/N you'll need some tactical luring and maybe patience.

Ah i'm too lazy to type my route out but there is a faster way that i use. takes about 5 mins to get to him and kill him.

its a different build too tho. much easier. maybe i'll create a vid.

Couldn't you simply post a route for this or put it in the one of a million already existing W/N Grenth's Balance warrior threads?

geeze... you dont need a route map all laid out, its straight forward.... the boss itself is like only meer meters from the from the towns portal... should really learn to help yourself..

(this map shows you his location but don't take his route, instead of going up the stairs from the start, take the left (where all the other non-afflicted creatures are), follow that path and you'll end up at razorfin in less than a minute)

EDIT: linked straight to gw-wiki's map location.

nice build, I'm terrible at luring the boss tho...must try some more after work

lambda the great · Jun 06, 2006, 05:27 AM // 05:27

Looks like the build I created works well in a lot of faction areas, awesome to see all the GB builds

i went on a scout with full set of hench just to see if the run to him was easy and got the drop first time lol couldn't believe my luck!!!

zeno · Jul 17, 2006, 12:29 PM // 12:29

I find it much easier to do the pull if you leave the 2nd group of levianthan mouths alive.

1. Take out the first group of turtles/mouths completely, however you want.
2. Take out the turtles of the 2nd group.
3. Ignore the remaining mouths and pull boss
4. Run to the corner shown in OP's screenshot (easier if you don't all the way to the corner)
5. watch as all the spellcasting mobs get bodyblocked by leviathan mouths, leaving only melee mobs able to hit you

this method has yet to fail me. I also find it faster to drop Endure Pain and Sprint for Flurry + Final Thrust, and then putting some points into sword. Use a zealous stance sword and energy upkeep for flurry won't be a problem. This way you can take out the groups on your own, and not bother pulling Afflicted aggro

king_robin · Sep 13, 2006, 07:19 PM // 19:19

Madman the mad · Sep 16, 2006, 09:31 AM // 09:31

Ima Hob0 · Sep 16, 2006, 03:50 PM // 15:50

Ima Hob0 · Sep 16, 2006, 06:17 PM // 18:17

I know how to get to him, but i cant kill him. His "buddies" are assassins and are hard, i cant figure how to get him to the spot you were talking about, and with a frickin laviathin mouth helpin them, it wasnt easy. PLEASE POST A VIDEO FOR GODS SAKE SOMEBODY!

Ima Hob0 · Sep 16, 2006, 06:21 PM // 18:21

king_robin · Sep 19, 2006, 10:29 AM // 10:29

I can post a video when I get my computer back then I can try to make a run and record it.
Its kinda tweaked. The build

Nilator · Oct 04, 2006, 11:37 PM // 23:37

Is this still doable?

king_robin · Oct 05, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

Of course. I just got his axe for awhile now.
