Anyone managed to come anywhere near without using a tank? really not sure it's possible without at this stage, which really screws over most people doing this zone, as tanks are generally seen as often as rocking horse ****.
Managed to get him into the last stage as a wizard/warden combo, but the damage ramps up pretty significantly so not sure how doable it is. Changed a few things in my setup and will probably give it another go later today. But yeah, it does seem rather more fighter friendly. Pretty hard for me to get consistently low pulls though, because the missiles are rather buggy, with them frequently detonating inside the named, or clear through the named and on the frontal plane (i.e. still getting hit by missiles coming in from his rear while at near max melee range in front of the mob). That's enough damage for some one-shots as the fight progresses.
Bruiser, Brig combo is strong. Our kill pull was sloppy but our best pull before killing was 2% in 8:30. We will most likely go back in and attempt a sub 9 min kill.

Anyone knows if there's a way below 20% to reduce the speed of the damage reduction stacking up? Yesterday i had some good pulls (4%) with inqui / dirge but at 10 min and a few seconds there was just no way for me to survive any longer (1,3 million hits). I would appreciate a hint very much if i miss something here.
there isn't, the gain will continue like clockwork till about 80 stacks on the name. you just have to use temps and pray mechanics work in your favor
Gz to your kill btw. Guess we just have to try more, i just worry that it won't be easy to dish out even more dps since i think we almost hit our limit. Strange thing is that our best pulls weren't necessarily the ones we had the most dps so i thougt maybe we're missing something.
Finally..... The hard earned victories always give the best feeling. Dirge and Inquis btw. (09:27) Mechanokt: 1508341 Thornee-Einäschern-2376519 Radio | 789168 Thorn | 719173

We polished the strat a bit to minimize movement for better dps, and this was the outcome: (07:33) Mechanokt: 1920098 Radio-Trainierter Schlag II-1798380 Radio | 962738 Thorn | 957360
