Rictus, Boss 1, Runic Descent

Anyone got a strat for this guy these days? The old trick of hiding behind the wall doesn't work so well anymore. He seems to turn my ranged guys around and getting line of sight/correct range on them is hard.

I don't do many dungeons so I don't know dungeon strats in general, but can you stand within AutoFollow range and do a Auto-Follow + Stop-Auto-Follow combo to get them to face you (and you stand between them and the boss)?

Use the trees instead of the little wall. He basically single pulls someone in, and then pushes them out causing them to face away. When he does the AOE pull for the whole party, it will turn that person and face them the right way (or you can manually face them like I do for my chloro).

I'm also assuming you're talking non-expert, right? Might as well get used to not using the little wall since you can't use it on expert anyway (when you get there).

And, to answer the 2nd post, this boss you can't stay in follow range because he will channel an PBAOE ability to prevent stacking.

are you talking expert or normal. in normal i still use the wall i just switch to the person screen he knocks back. on expert i just strafe them around and move hte boss as needed and just switch to the person he pulls in his aoe damage has been nerfed big time in expert;

Sorry, was talking about normal. Thanks for the replies. It gives me some more ideas to work with. I'll report back if/when I have some success.
