Hey all, as the title says, I just cant kill Glint, the missions is easy enough to get to him, just cant kill that damn dragon!! This is in Normal Mode.

Any tips or suggestion would be great, its the only bonus I have left to do to get Protector of Tyria.

Cheers

bring interrupts. make's it a piece of cake

Prot Spirit, Interrupts, and some decent healing. (try to bring teh least number of melee, her skill will rape them)

Drizzitdude · Oct 25, 2008, 10:05 PM // 22:05

you need interrupts. Lots of em. Or else glint is nearly impossible to kill.

Konig Des Todes · Oct 25, 2008, 10:16 PM // 22:16

People say interrupts are needed, I say don't need but makes it easier.

What is needed is a Wild attack (Wild Blow *War* Wild Strike *sin* or Wild Throw *para*), and decent to good healing depending on how many melee you have with you.

A Blood Necro with Grenth's Balance can mostly solo her (take two hits, use GB, rinse repeat - works until she is very low on health, but for that, just use other life steal spells and have team makes help).

She's rather easy to H/H as long as you bring a Wild attack. A single interrupt skill would work too (depending on recharge).

like they all said interrupts are key
also have a warrior or somebody bring a stance removal to get rid of jagged crystal skin thats what rapes the melees. Make it a key point to interrupt glint's crystal hibernation or it'll take alot longer

so interrupting and stance and hex removal for crystal haze, which causes exhaustion which sucks ass

also spread out cuz crystal haze does AoE so less people bunched less people affected

Id recommend bringing shivers of dread with someone thats got an icy wep, thats what i did and she went down easy as pie

good luck

She si not hard to kill really, I beat her my first tiem through with 4 wammos, 1 m/ele, one ele/m (heavy on secondarys) and something else, was not easy but was a win.

Hey All

Thanks for the replys, took her down easily tonight although it took me 23 minutes to kill her, lol no DP was had in the whole mission, actually Glint didnt pose any threat whatsoever, I basically set GWEN up with various interupts, Glint didnt stand a chance against her.

Cheers for the advice.

just take a bow yourself go /r and take dshot, dshot crystal hibernation. take little thom. It's gg.

DarkGanni · Oct 26, 2008, 02:19 AM // 02:19

The OP's primary profession seems to be warrior. Going axe and taking Disrupting chop and distract blow should do it. Also taking a ranger with interrupts works aswell.

Also don't forget to take monks with protective spirit and a weapon with elemental damage else you get spiked by jagged crystal skin.

Bowstring Badass · Oct 26, 2008, 02:19 AM // 02:19

How do you kill Glint

I kill it with a lvl14 hero with choking gas and taking wild blow.

1druid1 · Oct 26, 2008, 10:40 AM // 10:40

Hi All

Yes after killing her last night I now see the possibilities of easily killing her with different builds, I was only really concerned about Jagged Crystal Skin, Hibernation was a pian but I didnt worry to much about interupting that, I guess if I did I would have killed her a lot quicker, PS my Primary Profession is a Monk, I was setup as a Protection Monk.

Cheers

Glad to hear you beat her, I remember the first time I fought her and it confused me too, til I realized interrupts = TEH WIN vs her.

MStarfire · Oct 27, 2008, 04:26 AM // 04:26

My solution to everything: Have a Ritualist along.

Seriously. Then just put Warmonger's Weapon on your melee classes and Glint's helpless.

Super Igor · Oct 27, 2008, 10:18 AM // 10:18

Well, take a mesmer full of interrupts and you are good.

SNIEVES · Oct 27, 2008, 11:15 AM // 11:15

Hi

Glint is a big pushover, i was on my ranger, standard broadhead arrow build, with henchies, bring mesmer henchie, i had distracting shotm savage, broadhead arrow, and apply poison, piece of cake.

holy_won · Oct 27, 2008, 03:12 PM // 15:12

The best thing to use is a ranger with punishing shot, savage shot and distracting shot. The mesmer is okay, but Glint uses monster skills and many of the mesmer's interrupts are geared towards spells.

The best situation is to bring a ranger hero with those skills since heros have lightning reflexes.

payne · Oct 27, 2008, 05:52 PM // 17:52

*gasps* OMG 'sin heroes have a purpose lol j/k

take a 'sin hero with [siphon strength] {e}
and [wild blow] makes mince-meat of glinty....

its an alternative I am fond of.....long live the 'sin heroes lol

Kinlo · Oct 28, 2008, 08:13 AM // 08:13

Did it with H/H (Ranger with Punishing, Savage and Distracting Shot and a Mesmer with 2 interrupts).

Good luck,

I'd recommend 2 heroes/characters, similar to what the others have mentioned.

1) Ranger - this is a pure interrupt character designed to keep Glint from using any of her skills. Only one is interrupt proof, and that is Jagged Crystal Skin, as it is a stance.

2) Mesmer - this doesn't have to be a primary Mesmer, but it can help. Degen won't kill Glint, but it helps. More importantly are punishment skills like Empath or Clumsiness. However, the most important thing a Mesmer is needed for is hex removal. Glint uses a nasty hex that has AoE range. It causes ALL skills (not just spells) to cause exhaustion. Since it is a monster skill, it can be removed with Inspired/Revealed Hex which recharges instantly. Remove it from yourself, then remove it from the healers and the rest of the team.

If using melee, make sure they have Wild Blow, Wild Strike, or Wild Throw. Jagged Crystal Skin is deadly for melee, so it needs to be removed.

If you can keep the team from becoming over exhausted, and keep Glint interrupted, it becomes EXTREMELY easy.
