Giant Heroic Shadow Mage

Post by Thane »

Holy painfull hell ! This has been quite a day in EUO. I think thats the strongest mob i've ever fought, i didnt notice it was giant until i entered the room in the lava halls of The Suffering. I knew it was gonna be bad when he hit me for 1600, turned Berserk stance right the hell off while running away. With tank stance on he only did 600 with vampire bite, which pretty much out healed my tank stance damage. I ended up using 5 glass weapons to kill him, and of course equipping the wrong type of glass weapon earned me 1200 damage vampire bites from losing my tank stance.

Got a +9 hatchet and a couple white hairs. So mean Egg so mean.

can someone refresh my memory as to why the glass weps didn't kill it first time, or then explain why one would try a 2nd glass weapon if the 1st didn't work?

He mentioned tank stance, it cuts your damage. I did the same thing a week ago and felt dumb.

Yeah they only did 4000 damage and 2000 in tank stance, but without tank stance thats 1200 damage vampire bites. I probably should of just Khaki'd. This thing was a super beast =/ Should a glass weapon attack without tank stance insta kill it ?

Also, maybe monsters that deserve to be raid bosses should drop 4 chests :P since they're 2x2 !

It still survived a full on glassing before i went back to tank stance, was it not supposed too ? The bugs that almost kill your PD players are your favorite i think. I'm not dying twice in one day !

So what'd it drop? Did you at least get something good for all your trouble?
