the 2 weight of few that I have looted today says most beneficial Shaman and Necromancers, unlike the one that shows on this site , that says most beneficial to rouges.
He starts off a little rough, but then proceeds to spit out nonstop weak blue adds. Find yourself a nice corner and just turn the auto attack on with this guy Shadowknights, his strategy is to throw weak pets at you besides some highish melee. He may as well proc heals for 50k on the SHD, lol.
Killed him tonight with a 3-box setup consisting of a 100 Necro, Shammy and Chanter. After multiple attempts using varying merc layouts and methods, finally had success with Tank - Cleric - Cleric merc setup.
The adds have low HPs. Had a druid throw a DS on the tank merc and the necro was casting Sphere of Dissolution and Sanction Ally whenever they were up to drop the adds. Aside from that, all three toons and pets were nuking and dotting the mob up and the clerics were keeping up with heals till the mob was dedded.
If you have a decent tank, keep attacking the named. You kill the named = you win :) But, you can also kill the adds, because you do not get multiple dots on you.
Parsed him at just under 6.5 million HP. Followed Braelon's strat and just zerged him/ignored the adds. It was a fairly easy fight, as the adds are pretty lightweight.
Dropped Weight of Few along with the fear stained armguards.
Best advice i can give to handle this guy is Burn ,Burn his guts out and ignore the adds .He can only spawn set amount of adds .If you have decent tank that can handle the hits have them ae taunt them all and just Focus on them name.Adds will despawn once the name is dead.
Killing the Adds while trying to mange him just makes it more harder on yourself and your group.Yes this sounds like im just telling you to zerg him .Only way i found to kill him and by pass the adds.Killing the adds you have to kill alteast 7 at time just to get 1% hp to drop from him not worth it. Stick to what i said and just burn him Deflect rest and he will be cake.
