How do you counteract Hex?

Weird....I cleared LBRS and UBRS, getting the key, and I never remember getting hexed!
I think I had my alts quite a distance away. Not sure if that would make a difference.

You have to do very little of the troll section in LBRS if you drop down into it from the orcs and only do the boss at the bottom. In other words, you skip doing the troll boss (she doesn't drop a gem so not necessary for UBRS key).

I had a priest and paladin in my group so I didn't have too many problems with the hex except when the tank got hexed then the hunter mobs would run away to shoot from distance and can aggro nearby mobs. Not sure how you would handle it in shaman group. Just dps like mad and heal through it. Pally can stun and bubble to buy time to dps it down asap. The boss with the 2 adds was really difficult for me and I could dispel. So good luck.

Well I wen't back in and it went well. I hit the priest with Avenger's Shield and made them my first target so with the slow effect they were usually dead before they even got to me. If there were two and the shield didn't hit both I either got them fast enough or didn't. I think I only got hexed once and my bubble wasn't on cooldown so it went well. I even got the boss right there that has the AOE hex down. The crystalize from the spiders wasn't very fun though. They take longer to kill and there is almost always two with a bunch of babies. Anyhow, cleared everything except the tribute pile and my gear was busted by the time I got to the final boss. Guess I need to work on my engineering to get the repair bot.

Edit: Or die less. :P

I tried tribute once... and only once.

LOL. It was my first time and though I try to read up on encounters/bosses before I do them, it didn't go well at all. From what I've read there are waves and from what I could tell, I died on the first one and you have to reset the instance to retry. Hopefully I'll get back in there tonight and give it another shot.
