Haha, still cannot kill hc Drakkari Colossus

[fleaplus]

I was able to beat him before the patch by having my ret paladins in a star pattern around the boss. That way, each character only gets one stack of the smaller dot. It was easily healable with flash of light procs, so the only concern was taunting him back into the middle after he surges.

Since the patch, I converted my rets to holy and this boss is much easier, even in the rep vendor blues/epics for healers.

Holy, eh? How's the DPS on 'em?

[Sbrowne55]

With the dps and healing power these days, I just stack up and burn him down. Heck I pull the whole room by going up the stairs behing him from the middle/water.

Hehe trivial. Give it sometime and you'll look back and smile at your progressed team.

Cool! Still using 2handers? Or a shield?
Or is this the return of the SHOCKADIN?



Really I'm interested because my DK4Ret team could use one dedicated healer in the mix. They don't do so well on this fight or against Skadi.

Skadi seems fairly trivial once you get the movement down, IMO. I just stack 'em all up facing back up the balcony towards where skadi starts out and then when he whirlwinds, I just press my "run everyone straight forward" key. He's faster than you are backing up, so strafing/running is the only option I've found that works. Well, that and/or bubble if it's up. I usually forget to bubble though and just run out.
