Curse

I keep getting killed by them in the mission Destruction's Depth...

Anyone have a strategy or hero builds I could use against them?

You can pretty much forget about SF-heroway. (Searing Flames)

Yeah, I read about their resistance against fire and earth damage but I still keep getting killed by them.

The "immune to burning" thing made me chuckle when I first saw it.

Spiteful Spirit and MM necros with a Blinding Surge + Epidemic Ele works nicely, especially in the Glint's Challenge mission.

Will Elemental + Air Attunement + Blinding Flash with Epidemic work as nicely?

1. Weakness (Enfeebling Blood, Ward of Weariness)
2. Wards (vs Melee e.g.)
3. Hexes like Reckless Haste, Blurred Vision - the main danger are the melee ones, the spellcasters did not really dish out major damage. Maybe because I run Curse Necro + 2 B/P Rangers with interrupts, MM, Zho, Herta, Mhenlo and Lina.
4. Mark of Pain + physical damage dealers (minions, pets, warriors, rangers)

I think curse necros do especially well against them. Melee Shutdown wins against them.

I have been using Heroes/henches... I keep a warrior and 2 eles in my lineup... one ele uses arcane echo/sandstorm, ebon hawk, stoning/glowstone and glyph of energy(iirc, the one that < next 2 skills by 15 E)... the other is a water snare ele with deep freeze and such. Send in warrior, and freeze/sandstrom/weakness/knockdown them...works pretty well. We still die on occasion (usually someone running out of energy), but when taking a moment between mobs, I have not had any major issues with the story line and several dungeons. (This works well on jotun also)

I usually use Enfeebling Blood+Oppressive Gaze, and Necrosis in my Destroyer fighting builds.

SotiCoto · Sep 06, 2007, 11:44 AM // 11:44

E/R

[skill]Savannah Heat[/skill] + [skill]Winter[/skill] = Destroyer-Rape.
[skill]Sandstorm[/skill] + [skill]Winter[/skill] works too... if you'd rather have a defensive ward-fest going on.

Now I think about it, I really ought to invest in an Earth Ele Hero.

I'll be using a Sandstorm/warder build for myself and whatever I feel would work at the time on my necro and monks. So far my build has completely paralysed most forms of melee. I'll probably use Gwen or a necromancer to take care of the casters.

Sarevok Thordin · Sep 06, 2007, 11:49 AM // 11:49

Conjure Frost + Glacial Blade (or your other favourites) for War
Minion bomber for Necros.
Malestrom for Eles (Or the above SH + Winter combo), this helps keep the spellcasters at bay.

Also, The Deldrimor skill line has some nice abilities to counter them.

TideSwayer · Sep 06, 2007, 11:58 AM // 11:58

Raven's Blessing is pretty good. You first get to try it against the destroyers in A Gate Too Far, but I used it all the way up to the end (and in Glint's Challenge) once I obtained the PvE-skill version of it. It can cripple, blind, and adjacent-AoE spike the destroyers, who really love to clump up together.

You know that other profession that also exists?

Oh yea, Mesmer. They have something lovely called domination magic. Give it a try, although it isnt part of the holy trinity, so i suppose thats out of the question.

Oh well, never mind.

Mr. Fahrenheit · Sep 06, 2007, 12:22 PM // 12:22

Thanks for the suggestions guys,they were really helpful and I finally managed to finish the mission.

RTSFirebat · Sep 06, 2007, 01:15 PM // 13:15

And if your really lazy you can use what I used:

Barrage + Conjure Ice - Spam spam spam... dead Destroyers

I also take Winter with me as well for the benefit of the other NPCs / Players

For future reference running 60 AL heroes with under 500 health was probably another reason why you were having problems with the mission.

Norn Title-Track Bonus Effect FTW!

JeniM · Sep 06, 2007, 01:45 PM // 13:45

I can't help notice in the pictures you have Rebel Yell on you
Vs Destroyers try displaying your Dwarf Title so spells heal you and do bonus damage

R!ghteous Ind!gnation · Sep 06, 2007, 01:57 PM // 13:57

I havnt found them to be difficult yet.

Lady Erighan · Sep 06, 2007, 02:07 PM // 14:07

I think Destroyers are actually one of the less difficult creatures in EotN to kill. Now, a group of 4-5 lvl 28 Tarranuses (with a few Raptor patrols aggroing)...that will get your heart pounding.
