2 skill kill...

Toxicity
Poison Arrow (elite)

use a longbow and run a little if he starts to move towards you.

ok, so it's boring, but it's guaranteed to work.

I was able to do it with the d/rt spirit spike finally.

Dissonance is the key and maybe Move Like a Dwarf.

Vampirism, Bloodsong, Shadowsong, Pain, Dissonance, Summon Spirits, Painful Bond, Move Like a Dwarf.

Cast all your spirits outside his range. Get up to him, get his agro and hit summon spirits. Dissonance will keep him interrupted on the initial set while you do painful bond. A bit of luck will help. Move like a dwarf to help keep him from moving while trying to spike him, either that or use "Finish Him" instead.

I beat him as a warrior with a pretty standard grenths riposte warrior build.

Grenths Balance, Both Ripostes, Dolyaks, Healsig, Necrosis, Bonnettis , Final thrust ~ at least thats what I think I used.

Just stay out of the way of dissonance and its gg

This is another one of those quests that silly easy for some professions and much harder for others.

My Rit tore him apart converting his own spirits with Gaze of Fury and dropped a few of my own spirits.

My war had an easy time to, just crippled and interupted him. Gaze of Fury was good to have on him too, took out the shadowsong spirit then just interupted him from recasting it.

Yeah, unfortunately it's a lot harder for a Derv to take him down now. This is what I run, and I've gotten him to barely a sliver of life before he Ritual Lords and drops the more annoying spirits first.

Earth Prayers 12
Tactics 12

1. Auspicious Parry
2. Riposte
3. Deadly Riposte
4. Mirage Cloak
5. Vital Boon
6. Mystic Regeneration
7. Faithful Intervention
8. Thrill of Victory

It's just a matter of luck mostly. I've tinkered around with a lot of other builds but this is the most reliable thus far. Oh, and don't even try to 130 him. Stupid Dissonance.....;_;

Why you hate us Dervs Anet? Why?

Don't tell me I have to go and cap Grenth's Balance for this as I am having a hard time with my Warrior and Ranger tried with apply an interrupts and used cripshot.The thing is these spirits just keep interrupting me asand I used decent build on my warrior with savage slash,disrupting blow,sever,gash,galrath slash and skull crack and my Ranger dshot.savage shot.cripshot and apply poison as well as lighting reflexes.I can understand why most HAers complain about Rit Spikes.

I really get interrupted when using my healing signet.This thing as way to many spirits on it.

^ Please note that the quest has obviously been changed.

I have killed the beast again, yesterday, with the build I've posted.

Age · Oct 11, 2007, 11:29 PM // 23:29

I am not about to to go and buy all those skills for this ridiculous thing that is worse than the Rit Boss in Factions

What is good for a Ranger and a Warrior and I not sure about a Monk an Ele would have easy time of it?

unknown1 · Oct 12, 2007, 12:06 AM // 00:06

odd i beat him pretty easily with a standard full attack build (with a heal). only think i didnt do the first few times was kit his spirits. i forgot i could do that. so i basically let him cast away dodging his spirits and then after he casted them all i pulled him and fought him like that and when he casted new spirits i moved. and did the same thing.

macke · Oct 12, 2007, 09:33 AM // 09:33

Dwarven Battle Stance + Dwarwen Stability and Adios Amigo! He Will Just Stand There as a Sheep.If u have low rank, use Renewing Smash.

Spellforge · Oct 12, 2007, 12:08 PM // 12:08

I'm trying to do a perm knockdown - will this work ?

1) Enraging charge
2) Move like a dwarf
3) Dolyak Signit -> this is for grapple in a minute
4) For great Justice
5) Grapple
6) Devastating Hammer
7) Brawling Headbutt

8) Vampirism (bit of healing)

I would cycle through 1-7 , reapply the knockdown once he has been up for a second or two , never let a spirit get summond

please pull it to bits kindly

I finally beat him today with a similar build - I'd tried W/Rt , W/rgr even W/E
(wasted 10k on skills)

took me 4 attempts with this build (first three where close though)

Grenths Balance, Both Ripostes, savage slash , dwarven headbutt ,

some pulling with a longbow - took 3 uses of Grenths to do it - what a relief

Chrono Re delle Ere · Oct 16, 2007, 03:18 PM // 15:18

I went with dwarven battle stance hammer, with renewing smash, you need a bit of timing but if you manage to do it, it's easy.

NightElf · Oct 17, 2007, 09:03 PM // 21:03

How did you heal yourself???

greywolf31 · Oct 17, 2007, 09:52 PM // 21:52

What about Elementalists?

Any suggestions? It is the next quest I have to do, and frankly, from what I've read here I'm toast...

=)

LMK what you all think, and THX

I'd still go Grenth's Balance. Go up to a side of the hill on your right - let him drop his spirits - pull him with a long bow (because of elevation your long bow will go further than his spirits can fire) - let him beat on you for a while and then hit him with Grenths when your either low on health or he is about to cast a new spirit. Then run away out of range.
Repeat.
When his health gets low you will have to change tactics - I'd hit him with some sort of slowing spell when you have pulled him from the spirits and as he slowly makes his way either towards you or back towards his spirits hit him with your hardest none elite damage dealers - if they also give any sort of degeneration so much the better

Larcen · Oct 18, 2007, 08:04 PM // 20:04

Wouldn't some degen (siphon/phantasm/poison) + Dwarven Battle Stance's interrupt + Counterblow + Move like a dwarf (another surefire interrupt just in case for Shadow Song) work? Some variation of this anyway. Forgive me for speaking out of turn, but I was just thinking about this and it seems logical anyhow.

greywolf31 · Oct 18, 2007, 08:25 PM // 20:25

Has anyone done it with an Ele/Rt?
Or should I just try to build it out on my 2ndary skills? (As a Ritualist)
I am thinking this is a good skill to cap.

I figure if I am going to all this trouble, to get it done, I should not pass up the opp to get an elite out of it as well.

LMK and THX

Here is how I beat that Glacial Griffon once and for all, actually last night (Sorry I am not at my home computer so there may be a few inaccuracies)

Elementalist / Necro build:

Summon Jagged Horror (Main skill) spam it near the dead wolves
Summon Bone Minion (Replace with any other summon skill as desired)
Meteor Storm
Firestorm
Decaying Flesh
Vile Mesemia
Move like a Dwarf (GWEN)
Glyph of Restoration (So you can heal as you cast fire)

I **think** those were the skills.... basically the minions really hold him in place initially... then knock him down with Move like a Dwarf every chance you get... and then AOE the fire asap... then set Decay and Vile on him (so his degen will multiply).... run as needed... heal alittle... rinse and repeat...

The key is the minions... right when you start... get the minons going... and summon one every chance you get.

Dead Griffon FTW!
