Inspired Hex (no recharge since it's monster only hexes...and it's free. Pwned. At least, it should work like this, anyone wanna test it?)
Cry of Frustration, Leech Sig, or w/e to interrupt her other skill. Or go R secondary for distracting shot and use a bow. :P

It seems like it should work.

nothing is free in life. you only get the energy from inspired hex/enchant IF you capture the skill. Otherwise like in the case of glint or kanaxai it strips the spell with no recharge, but costs the 5 or 10 energy to cast. tested & confirmed.

Not true, check the vid I posted and it shows me using Inspired Hex about three times in the space of ten seconds, all three times getting energy from it.

killed her today: 2 tanks, me as a necro and an ele. was pretty easy.
the only thing that we had to do is get away from each other so that her crystal haze don't touch both of us

Last night managed it to solo her with henchmen. It actually isn't very hard with the right set of professions and a little luck.

I brought everyone but Orion, because his AoE makes her run and running may result in switching targets, which isn't a good thing.

First I cast the good ol' Greater Conflagration + Winter combo to convert almost all damage into cold damage. Then, just pick up the egg and attack her. The lucky part was where she immediately aggroed on the warrior henches and didn't go for one of the squishies. Stefan went down pretty soon, due to the monk henches suffering from massive exhaustion (no hex removal), but I ressed him with the signet and from there on the monks were able to keep everyone alive. At about 50% health I cast Spinal Shivers and kept it up all the time (hex duration is only 50% on Glint, so I just cast it as soon as it recharged). Needless to say, with everyone dealing cold damage, all she got off was her Crystal Skin, which didn't do jack because there was no physical damage. One time, however, when I had her down to about 1/3, she got her Hibernation off because I had to re-cast the spirits and Spinal Shivers went out just in that moment. Which didn't do her much good, though, just took a little longer in the end. One short shock moment was, when she aggroed on Alesia, shortly before going down, but she didn't attack her more than two or three times, before focussing back on one of the tanks (stupid AI

).
Price of Failure + Reckless Haste was quite nice to both damage her a little and impair her damaging capability, although not too effective, due to the mentioned hex duration reduction.

When i needed to kill glint for the title on my necro, I just brought 1 stance tank, 1 air ele (for blinding flash and lighting orb), and an interupt ranger with winter. I brought some hexes and spinal shivers. The other 4 were henchies.

Finally managed to kill her yesterday and have my title!

I started a group myself in order to be able to check whether people really did understand how to kill her. If not, I could kick em (after explaining and not listening of course).

Mission itself is long and boring and above all tooooo easy. Well, finally at glint I told everyone to get behind me and other warrior. One ele of course didnt and died instantly after starting the bonus. After that with two rangers poisoning and interrupting it all went easy! Except when the stance killed me because either one of the rangers or the warrior didnt wield an elemental weapon and gave me the 100 dmg each hit.

I still need my monk and mesmer to do this, so if you need help, let me know!

I love everyone here, thank you. After some frustrating unsuccessful PUG runs at this, my guild went in with all these tips and we absolutely DESTROYED Glint. I had to heal maybe 2 people?

Protector of Tyria! Thanks again all~!

I henched this as a Ranger with 1 interrupt, and had very few problems. I had to rez one of the Henchies, but they were actually doing pretty well. 1st time I fought Glint, so didn't really know what to expect. Is it usually hard to do?
