kite pa, dot, weaken, snare etc the commander so it's dead (or close to), and before bonedancer makes another one pa him. Hard but could be done...

In BG3 I find them easy to deal with as a sorc. There pets tend to group nicely for an aoe mezz and their resist to mezz is crap, so they get a mezz 1st and I almost always get all of them, pet on bonedancer, then add dot/nuke/debuff as desired, seem to work for me

Any Bonedancer you can kill in that way is not sup specced, as soon as your pet is on them mezz is broken and it's a simple matter to insta nuke interrupting your spells and healing the bonedancer until you die taking your pet with you. It usually takes three people to take down a supp specced Bonedancer and on a couple of occassions I have won 3v1 fights although usually at least two of those three would be support classes and quite possibly they were several levels below me.

If you want to kill Bonedancers 1v1 play an assassin, the only person who beat my Bonedancer Charaen 1v1 in BG3 was Kane, no way to insta when you're stunned and the pets don't heal anywhere near enough damage to keep you alive until the stun wears off.

Unforunatly the situation is kind of reversed in group fights and most of the time if you're a supp specced Bonedancer the only quickbar key you're going to need is a release macro. Bonedancers make a very obvious target, their pets are lower level with less hitpoints than other classes pets, the insta lifetap often does less damage than a good hit with a 1h weapon and even with the insta and heals from pets (if they're still alive) your caster hit points won't last very long against the kind of damage that gets dished out there.

 

[Tobold]

no, you set the pet on the bonedancer, not the pets.

bonedancer with pets = dead

 

[Faeldawn]

Just aoe nuke the buggers till pets n all fall down, simple

 

[seph_sldr]

You're kinda missing the point there, how do you AoE someone when they're insta nuking the hell out of you? Besides, it's not the bonedancers pets that are the problem if they're sup specced, it's the bonedancer.

 

[Fex]

Menta or Cabbie AoE DoT works wonders against them, healer pet will freak out and run around like a headless chicken trying to heal itself and the Commander, the actual BD shouldnt have too many HP to start with unless he's a troll but still throw the single DoT which stacks (i think) and end result = 1 dead Bonedancer.

 

[seph_sldr]

Well, actually the healer pet will heal the bonedancer over anything else including it's self and the commander. Also having aoe dot'd the Bonedancer and his/her pets you're then going to have the commander chasing you down and the Bonedancer insta lifetaping you (and I stress _insta_ as in cannot be interupted) which heals them for a good deal more than the pets do. I really can't see how that would work unless there was more than one mentalist or cabalist as personally I have never had any trouble 1v1 against a caster class.

 

[Armalite]

ehem.../whisper Disease halves healing dmg....

 

[hint]

well the bonedancer is THE archer proof char.

i tried taking on on in the bg a couple of days ago. admitedly it was 1 level above me but that doesn't make to much diferance.

my scout has 400 odd hitpoints. every 4 seconds the bonedancer insta nuked me for 100. every time. no variation.

i got fed up of this. so i tried to take him on as part of a group. me and two necro's now it turns out these necros were just wastes of space they didn't even cast one spell.

i tried to take out the healer so the necros could take the bd. now i shot a crit shot at the blue con healer and took down 2/3rds of its health and then before i could get of another shot it healed itself.now at that rate i "may" be able to take out the healer but it will take 5 or 6 shots at least. by wich time i have been 4s inst'd to death.

for a scout i shoot prety fast. 4 seconds for a normal shot. but i can't shoot faster than the pet heals. and no mater how fast i shoot i cant stop the caster 4s insta dd'ing me and interupting me. (not to mention killing me in 5 shouts)

How the hell are scouts suposed to kill a bonedancer? they can't. If the bd is stupid enough not to take a healer pet then maybe the scout will be able to suprise him and kill him before he gets of a 4s insta dd. but if he has a healer pet you can't even suprise him.



you may have noticed a theme in my post.

please tell me the bd insta is going to get a longer timer.

 

[Repent Reloaded]

if u wanna take out a BD....
wait till he's sitting.
wait till he strays away from the group.
Use a team of 2-3, 2 infils/scouts on 1 BD 3rd kills the commander, kill the commander pet and the healer goes down with it.

pritty much the same with necro's, dont strike till u know u can drop that thing, if the chance never comes, so be it... move on, unless u dont mind risking your life.

Lol, well a yellow con level 35 pet in BG3 on the dancer, plus my dots plus follow up nukes takes him down fast. I am a briton and I have enought hits to take 4 instas nukes at least it seems, even tho they are life draining. As yet the dancer has only ever tried to nuke duel once and he died, mostly he runs as soon as his pets are under control....maybe thats his problem, if he had the guts to stand and fight he'd prolly do better btw remember my nukes are life drains too although not instants. I have not witnessed the 4 sec recast time the scout reports on those instants, but if thats true thats ridiculous...NERF....my reavers are ona much longer recast rarely allowing more than 1 lifetap per battle on a yellow, never more than 1 on a blue !

Maybe the issue is that at Bg1 levels dancers are more uber than BG3 ? not sure.

Not that I'm calling you a liar, but you say you have no problems killing bonedancers yet you don't know that a bonedancer can insta nuke every four seconds which is enough to prevent you from casting and thus from doing what you say you do to kill them. Also having said that you kill bonedancers easily you then proceed to call for a nerf, mabey it's just me but I'm noticing a little inconsistancy here.

 

[Felakin]

Mu BD is pure fun to do 1vs1 and sure is good at supporting the group at annoying any enemies! and my DOT's hurts alot!
