Mallyx [MERGED]

- Does he attacks fast?

PS: Since "Unyielding Anguish" has a 1.5s cast time on Mallix, "casting skills" that interrupt spells wouldn't be more efficient that bow attack? (Just asking)

well, there's still [wiki]Shadow Smash[/wiki] and [wiki]Wild Smash[/wiki] I believe those would count as attack skills, and +200 damage and target randomly shadowsteps doesn't seem all that helpful to the tank for holding aggro.
Honestly though, more I think about it, a r/rt oath spammer sounds useful... (sorry had to run off and do some work)... with like interrupts, oath shot, dissonance, shadowsong and mebbe pain. Yes he has a skill that can remove blindness every 7 secs, but how often do spirits attack? every 2 secs?. I also feel that applying one condition, which granted he can use to heal 300 pts every 7 secs (assuming your Ranger is completely inept and misses this interrupt every time with counting - as he WILL use consume torment every 7 secs if hes blind) BUT will also eliminate an equal or more amount of party damage is an ok tradeoff.

As much as I hate to complicate matter further you have to remember that whatever build you plan on using against Mallyx has to be able to also deal with the titan / torment waves before the door to Mallyx even opens.

mesmers own every boss possible, glint, shiro and anyone else. everyone ever heard of blackout? blackout spam ftw

I've only been to DoA once, and didn't make it very far (I was an assassin and the only melee character there x.x), but I know a thing or two about interrupting, ranger and mesmer being two of my favourite classes.

So, I've got a question: How is mallyx effected by conditions? Would something like dazed work? This shadow step this is a spell after all. If you can daze him you'd double the cast time, and where Diversion fails to shut it down, [skill]Power Block[/skill] might succeed.

Also Mesmers with a high fast cast can drop their interrupt cast times even further (1/8th of a second), then it just becomes reflexes.

The legendary GuildWiki says this about using Diversion and Blackout against Mallyx:

"Consume Torment purges all hexes and conditions and converts them into a strong source of healing. This skill can be Diverted however. In fact, as Diversion is, itself, a hex, it will cause him to try and use this skill and lose it for a significant amount of time."

"Disabling Mallyx's skills with skills like Blackout."

So what is it? Do they work or not? I have a habit of believing pretty much anything on that site...

I just laugh when I see all these posts about the anticlimatic new so-called-elite area DoA (dead on arrival).

I am not touching this area even with a telescopic barge pole.

The whole concept sucks big big time and it only spolit the eagerness of many players to encounter this utter crappy place and even more so Razah.

OMFG, Razah, the pulicity behind Razah and what to we get, a ritualist and you have to get those gems to gain him after killing ubber mobs.

Sorry Anet and those who will disagree with me but no gg in doa.

All for now .....

This thread is for comming up with a way to beat mallyx since the update that made him better. And I still don;t understand how mesmer skills have no effect on mallyx...I've tried using a necro with blackout and it has been working unless the mesmer gets teleported right away
