Banish Enchantment
All Enchantments are removed from caster's target foe. For each Enchantment removed in this way, one skill is disabled on all foes for 6 seconds.

I see.... so I was the reason why we got owned.
It looks like, bonding.... no, I take that back... using ANY enchantment is fatal.

Well, it looks like bonder is gonna have to cuddle in the corner and do /dance

No fire attunement, no geotank skills, no healer's boon...
DON'T USE ENCHANTS! Even 1 enchants can cost your entire team 8 skills....

So then what do we have? His attack skill screws over stances... guess that leaves paragon shouts?

@ Tookis: ............ Jerk

Immune to hexes and conditions.... Enchantments disable skils.... he removes stances....

Looks like Razah is perfect for the job, hence why he is so hard to obtain. Also, Paragons using their shouts should negate tons of damage as well.

Looks like Anet really wants to challange our brains this time...

Ezekiel Prophet · Dec 15, 2006, 04:46 AM // 04:46

Wards, although eles would probably be crushed like coke cans.
Paragon shouts, first coming to mind "Incoming!" and "Stand Your Ground!". He is immune to hex and condition? A shame, ward against elements + theyre on fire! + mark of rodgort + fire damage = damage negation like crazy.

Hehe, dervishes are so screwed here =)

And for clarification, Gaze of Fury is for destroying the spirits. Non-elite, spell range. And skills that affect binding rituals work on this. Gaze of Fury + Soul Twisting to quickly kill off these pesky enviro-effect spirits?

AlienFromBeyond · Dec 15, 2006, 05:58 AM // 05:58

So I guess you need Spirits, Shouts, and Skills? The Riposte line may be good for the tank. And I suppose the monks should just go Healing.

Yeah, I don't really have much to say. I've only been able to finish city because I cannot absolutely find a group to do any of the other areas =/.

ubermancer · Dec 15, 2006, 06:21 AM // 06:21

Minion Factory. Dont actually engage Mallyx, just send all the Minions in with Death Nova on them. So brilliant it HAS to work.

Acehigh · Dec 15, 2006, 10:07 AM // 10:07

Hmmm,so rits and Paragons seem the best choice to help defeat him.I think angelic bond would make a worthy skill in place of bonds,even if very risky.

ramma77 · Dec 15, 2006, 10:24 AM // 10:24

Oh so now you lot NEED paragons and ritualists.

I demand all paragons go on strike for being mostly ignored for the other 4 quests.

Shanaeri Rynale · Dec 15, 2006, 11:30 AM // 11:30

Kudos for beating him. Couple of things spring to mind.
I must confess to be a little disapointed that Mallyx himself is just a boss fight. I was kinda hoping for another long elite mission like urgoz/deep with maybe 12 or more people. The description of assualting his fortress gave me visions of battling up stairs, through room of traps and the such like.

It's a shame there's no caster weapons and the fixation with 20/20+30Hp is a little sad. Did any armbraces drop, as they would be the logical reward for beating him? No Armor crafter either?

In any case congrats, and looking forward to more achievements later

Spirit effect of Demonic Miasma.... would have to take it down or else your tank could be taking quite a bit of damage.

It's kind of weird Arena Net regards DoA a mission, even reffering to it as a mission in update notes... It's more like FoW and UW than like Urgoz or The Deep.

Tetris L · Dec 15, 2006, 01:17 PM // 13:17

Isn't it ironic that Mallyx, who is only a demon, a servant of Abaddon, is much harder to beat than Abaddon himself, his master, a god?

noir0 · Dec 15, 2006, 01:19 PM // 13:19

Thats probably because abadon was still half chained up when we fought him...

ramma77 · Dec 15, 2006, 01:32 PM // 13:32

And because anet messed up.

darktyco · Dec 15, 2006, 01:36 PM // 13:36

Expecting a way to open a real mission by beating the four parts of the quest I was. Disappointing, this is.

Aphro · Dec 15, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

maybe the mission will come after you beat mallyx:-)

TheYangg · Dec 15, 2006, 02:01 PM // 14:01

maybe Mallyx is strong and dumb, and Abbadon is a natural leader, so he manipullated Mallyx and turned him into his loyal servant, even being weaker O_o

just like that fat prince and Goren...

and Abbadon was weakened by those chains and stuff...

Shanaeri Rynale · Dec 15, 2006, 02:17 PM // 14:17

Hmm if reports are correct and he teleports to the one who moves out of aggro range, why not lay loads of traps nearly a willing volunteer and have them step out of range. Mallyx teleports onto the traps..

Just a wild, crazy idea
