after learning a few tips from the people below i have beaten him a long long while ago, but i guess people like to use this as a point of reference to how to deal with him so im just mentioning it in this edit now so you dont think im still rambling and confused lol

Keithark · Aug 31, 2007, 01:22 PM // 13:22

You prolly out of luck for a while until more people get there if that is in-fact the end of the expansion

TechnoSword · Aug 31, 2007, 01:25 PM // 13:25

its not the end its near the end =/,

Pwny Ride · Aug 31, 2007, 01:26 PM // 13:26

So your asking for a nerf because you decided to rush ahead?

Etta · Aug 31, 2007, 01:30 PM // 13:30

I don't even have the game yet, so wild guess here, but if he's using fire dmg, try winter maybe. KD & cripple, the ward of stability and RC prot monk should counter that. Or wait for more people to get there.

TechnoSword · Aug 31, 2007, 01:31 PM // 13:31

i didnt rush ahead im just playing the storyline not trying to speed through, but ive just rolled in 3 different builds in an attempt and he wont budge >.<

Another lame look-how-far-I-am thread. I guess the thought of others "possibly" admiring your achievement outweighs screwing yourself out of $40?

Yes, because everyone knows that when someone asks for help, they're just bragging about how far they are.

OP, no clue tbh. Keep trying different builds, or wait until more people get that far.

Also, every bosses health regenerates, this one isn't different.

TechnoSword · Aug 31, 2007, 01:37 PM // 13:37

Im not really screwing myself out of 40 dollars if im enjoying the game, I got stuck and frustrated so ive turned over to questing around, but as all new things that comes out theres always going to be something that people complain about and eventually someones is going to mention it, so I did, if i wanted to show off how far i was i could have posted up pictures or something

edit ^ to the above post I was just thinking of the health regen because similar to abaddon, when you deal damage he doesnt regenerate the health so you can keep going at it.

Based on the content of the OP perhaps he is not Hero and Henchable, since they can't pick up powder kegs. Yet with real players you can have multiple people picking up powder kegs. May be a case that OP is SOL til more people get there to help with carrying the kegs.

TechnoSword · Aug 31, 2007, 01:56 PM // 13:56

That might have been the problem. After 60dp I would rush in drop a bomb and rush out usualy his shot would take out all my henchies/hero also at 60dp and i would repeat until he needed 1 more, then I would flag my henchies away get hit by the blast myself and the last bomb would blow letting him be vulnerable, but then my henchies would walk over the lava spots on the ground and id be like oh noes >.< as we rez up his carapace and any dmg i do always recover -.-.

Coridan · Aug 31, 2007, 01:57 PM // 13:57

what heros and henchies are you taking? got enough interrupts? can you shut down some of his casting with hexes and such? i don't have the game yet...sigh...stupid work and end of the month or else i would have just stayed home today...but NO anet had to release on the end of the month..../end rant...back to the OP i would be interested in knowing what you are running etc...so i don't do the same thing once i get there sometime next MONTH!

TechnoSword · Aug 31, 2007, 01:59 PM // 13:59

I do have my gwen interrupt, but he casts at 3/4s speed and she doesnt interrupt it for some reason yet ive seen her do it before >.<. I am a warrior, with a water ele, interrupt mes, lod monk, and my henchies were devona, cynn, and aiden.

RTSFirebat · Aug 31, 2007, 02:06 PM // 14:06

Some bosses cannot be easily interrupted. Maybe set one of your necro heroes has mass hexes and degen to shut the boss down?

TechnoSword · Aug 31, 2007, 02:09 PM // 14:09

maybe ill try that, but right now my morale for it is dead at the moment lol. Im not sure about degen but he is only able to be hit by damage after his carapace is broken (3 fire bomb things). otherwise its alot of 0s and the hench heros still like to take swings at em. Also on a side note you have to go through 3 dungeon levels to reach him fighting mild amounts of undead and such.

papryk · Aug 31, 2007, 02:10 PM // 14:10

Use spoil victor on him. It can help a lot...

Arkantos · Aug 31, 2007, 03:20 PM // 15:20

I just beat him, no problem. I was expecting a hard battle, but this was a disappointment. It took me 2 times of using the explosives to beat him. I was running a DSlash warrior, Master was running SS, Vekk was running fire, then I had dunkoro, 2 monk henchies, zho and eve.

Absinth187 · Aug 31, 2007, 03:21 PM // 15:21

My apologies to the OP. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Guess getting 3 hrs of sleep after GW:EN releasing will do that.

If going for interrupt maybe try broad head arrow or spinal shivers. And what kind of prot monk are you running?

chief lazy horse · Aug 31, 2007, 03:26 PM // 15:26

maby Grenths Ballance would work?

TechnoSword · Aug 31, 2007, 07:04 PM // 19:04

thank you very much! the ss and hench build line up worked perfectly! I killed him using it just off the bat! Thank you very much I can continue on now
