That makes sense. He probably hit me with this skill for 323 (regular damage) and +200 (damage bonus).

A ritualist would completely shut down the damage, but is a liability during the previous mobs.

Well, a diffrent team than ours tried using Consume Soul, and they told us it did infact work, and easily removed the spirits.
However, it didn't save their hind from the boss and spawning mobs at HP80% it seems....

sry i only have it in german:

Wild Smash
Banish Enchantment
Consume Torment:
skill: cast 3/4, recast 7
All conditions and hexes are removed. For each condition and each hexes, the caster gain 300 hps.

Shadow Smash

Summon Shadows
i think its this one: Attack cast time 1/2, recast 8
The foe ist knocked down. All stance, he has used, are finished and disabled for 5 seconds. this attack cannot be blocked or evaded

Craero · Dec 15, 2006, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Rit Lord with Shadowsong and Signet of Binding maybe... never had a chance to test signet of binding on a neutral/allied spirit anywhere but it would still give displacement an extra duration. You don't even need boon of creation if you have a Bipper and could change it for something else like.. soothing... signet of creation.

Yet another idea... feast of souls? (Before cutscene, Doubt it works)

If it has a cast time... It can be interupted... domination mesmers surge forth once more.

well summon shadows is wild smash

From what I can gather from the skill information, the only way to beat Mallyx is with Shadowsong. You can't heavy hex, you can't stance, and you can't use stances.

Hmmm , SV and Soothing Images might be the answer

Would have to see a screenshot or have definite information on consume torment and banish enchantment. SV/AV would be a good idea though to deny him energy and adrenaline. Drop all bonds and keep the tank alive until you're sure that mallyx is out/low on energy (Banish Enchantment supposedly has a 5 energy cost) and re-bond everyone... Pull back at spawn(s?) and light of deliverance or heal party until aggro is set on tank properly followed by nuking... hmm... Famine ranger?

lulu_at_sin · Dec 15, 2006, 10:31 PM // 22:31

sv is enchament. problem of using it

Shendaar · Dec 15, 2006, 10:43 PM // 22:43

Okay, I have no experience in fighting him, but what about :
[skill]Wailing Weapon[/skill] and [skill]Warmonger's Weapon[/skill]?

Lord Ra · Dec 15, 2006, 10:44 PM // 22:44

blackout at the very least would reset his adren, even if it doesnt cancel the skills.

Also does he have a reset aggro point? like trying to pull him to far and having him go back to the middle? or does he just run around trashing people regardless?

Shadis · Dec 15, 2006, 10:46 PM // 22:46

Soothing isn't an enchantment. Could slow down his Adrenaline.

lavenbb · Dec 15, 2006, 10:49 PM // 22:49

wailing weapon with QZ, on a warrior with IAS should shut him down then? at least wild smash and summon doesn't work

Shouts, signets, weapon spells, spirits... hell, how about a Shadow Form tank? He can't target it with Banish and it will avoid the cannot block/evade of Wild Smash (if you're in a Ward of Stability, would Wild Smash end any stances or is the KD required?).

dudeimoncoke · Dec 15, 2006, 10:51 PM // 22:51

a rit would be best as it seems with soothing shelter and the usual spirits. If someone can put a list of his skills I would be willing to work on a build to beat him.

Banish Enchantment is a spell , costs 5 with a 3/4 cast time and 4 sec regen.

Maybe hex him with Arcane Conundrum first to raise the casting time to 1.5 , then a ranger may stand a chance to interupt/daze him , while SI and SV are slowly burning away his energy and preventing him from gaining adrenaline.

EDIT* Maybe Migraine would be better than Arcane Conundrum here .

Can Anyone Try a complete blackout-build?

Secondary Mesmer should be enough

I would just love to know this working
