I've been trying this for the last few days off and on with my warrior. I'm not having any luck beeting the spirit spaming griffon. Anyone have any suggestions or builds that I can try.

Also post any non war builds too so that other people can get help too.

i used a war/nec with Grenth's Balance, life siphon, heal sig, bleed attack, deep wound, and a few others i forget them all, but you have to drag him to you, attack him, DEG him, he doesnt heal all that much. just keep him away from the spirits and keep away from them your self,
there is one spirit that will int you all the time, stay far back from this one all the time. GL it was a harder one to get done, but it was fun times

I'd like to see a tank/scythe build with banishing strike. that should hurt him. a lot.

I used the very skill I refused to use in the Shards of Orr : Sight Beyond Sight.

I just stuck that into my Critical Agility / Critical Defenses / Way of Perfection Moebius + Death Blossom spammy build. It was enough to defeat the griffon even in the midst of his spirits.

Not a warrior build though...
Honestly... I'd recommend trying similar though.
Find some sorta stance or whatnot that allows you to evade attacks... take a non-interruptable self-heal... and an IAS .... Go secondary Rt and you can use Sight Beyond Sight.... and you might well manage it.

Anyone recommend a Ranger build?

I went W/R and took the asura Ruby summon. I just kept poison on him and stayed away from his spirits. GL

Tutis Evito · Sep 19, 2007, 01:36 PM // 13:36

Yeah having problems with my ranger to, ive tried a trap build, a variant of the famine farmer build, tried to get as much degen as possible with poison etc etc but no luck.

i may try burning arrow,apply poison, screaming shot and toxity spirit

I recommend Any/Rt for every class. Spirit spam him right back and watch him die.

It's the easy solution, it's the logical solution, it's the working solution.

moko · Sep 19, 2007, 01:51 PM // 13:51

let him spam spirits, he runs out of range, kill. stancetank should do.

also sometimes he can get stuck in a wall and won't do anything after patrolling..

SotiCoto · Sep 19, 2007, 02:05 PM // 14:05

Apparently you can glitch him into a position where he won't attack at all.

It is a sickeningly cheap tactic and I wouldn't do it myself unless I had no other choice.... but the option IS there.

This was during the preview weekend so I dont know if it's still viable, but I was able to beat him with the R/P Packhunter build with Feral Aggression in it. I was limited in PvE skills though so if you have Ebon Vanguard Sin Support or the Asura Summons it'll help out a great lot.

What I did was basically let my pet do all the work, then if he's blinded I run in to cover for the lack of attacks. Feral Aggression was possible because it was easily maintainable but now I dont know. The idea I am trying to get across is that you want to keep as much npc support as you can bring in this fight, since 4 possible allies is much better than just you.

Burning arrow, apply poison, pin down, needling shot, troll ungent, some (hard) interrupts.

Try to stay out of the spirits. Go into the spirits to pull him if you must. Once he's out, pin down to keep him for awhile and degen his butt. Interrupt spirits if you can. After he gets away, troll any damage, kill loner spirits that are in your way, and pull him again.

LONGA · Sep 19, 2007, 06:40 PM // 18:40

My rangers build for this one. Screaming shot ,Pin down,Oath shot ,Distracting shot,Troll Unguent ,Natural Stride,Whirling Defense,Dwarven Stablility

Keep Degening him , Pin down Griffon if you need to regen ,Tank the spirits with whirling defense with the extra length from dwarven stability, Interupt Shadowsong and Dissonace since these will screw you up.

YunSooJin · Sep 19, 2007, 06:50 PM // 18:50

if you're a warrior, try this:

Enraging Charge
For Great Justice!

Flail
Eviscerate (E)
Axe Twist
Agonizing Chop
Disrupting Chop
Distracting Blow

You put up enraging charge and FGJ right as he spawns. Ideally you should be ON TOP of him when he spawns. You can begin to Flail->Eviscerate->Agonizing right away his first spirit
then interrupt the others

Axe twist him every once in awhile so he does 5 damage a hit and just keep interrupting and raping his face.

ftw? Instead of the other gimmicky builds people want you to use.

My w/e used a fire staff with Volfen blessing and stood behind a rock. The staff volleys the volfen attacks. Didnt take very long, but was the first way I could beat the griffon after several tries with different skills. I wanted to beat the griffon with a build that no one was suggesting. I like to be different and i play very unconventional.

Elinold Fyonex · Sep 19, 2007, 10:32 PM // 22:32

Wow, you all have such long and drawn out plans on this guy... easiest way I've done it on a warrior was going /Rt cause EVERYONE knows the only way to kill a Rit is to BE a rit lol, took consume spirit, flail, distracting blow, heal sig, grenth's balance, and some attacks i think (it's been a few weeks) Very easy becuase he attacks in melee as well so he spams spirits where he is. Basically if you see him get off a spirit, hit tab and consume it and go back to attacking. Even with 20 energy you should be able to keep it up for a LONG time.

CHUIU · Sep 19, 2007, 10:56 PM // 22:56

Warrior build: Sword warrior with grenths
Non War build: Spirit spammer, lead with wanderlust

Kale Ironfist · Sep 19, 2007, 11:22 PM // 23:22

Grenth's Balance
Final Thrust
Healing Signet
Shield Stance
Defensive Stance
Wary Stance
2 Optionals (I had Riposte and Deadly Riposte)
Attributes: 12+X+1 Swordsmanship, 12+1 Tactics

Was what I used. Take the spirit attacks until you're at half health or less and balance the rit. Enter Wary Stance to become immune to the spirit attacks if you have to. Use GB until the rit is below 50% health, then pummel with Final Thrust. Heal when necessary. Use Ripostes on recharge, but when I did beat the boss with this build, the Griffon got glitched and didn't move or use skills while walking around the area (although the spirits were still in range).

Then again, this was during the sneak peek weekend, although I don't think anything has changed.

KANE OG · Sep 19, 2007, 11:39 PM // 23:39

As a Warrior I took Conjure Phantasm (12 in Illusion Magic) and Healing signet (13 in Tactics), lured him up by the gate where I spawned...... and stood there casting and wanding and healing until he was dead.

He only put down one spirit at a time while I was doing this and it took about 4 minutes.

Going toucher should work too...
