ML2 - 2.3 - Any tips?

[[NO]Magmatic]

We tried this as a FG about 3-4 times yesterday (2x SM, Warrior, Zerker, 3x Healer, 1x Shaman + 1 fop bot), and we got whiped each time by the damn ae-stun mob... (that and the WAY too many yellow/oranges )

Is there anyway this group can do it?

We tried to outpull the spawn but dont think we where able to do that...

Really with 2.3 you need a small zerg, the first time I tried it we only had 2fg (no PBAE though, so maybe that had somthing to do with it) and we got wiped. Thats about the only tip that can be given, its mostly just a matter of getting enough people.

Dont think you can make it on 1 fg, to many caster, archer adds, but gl trying

Belive you at least have to be 2 fg with enough healers to demezz, I did 2.3 with 2 fg and we got whiped 3 times before we got the chief, we manage to kill him but got whiped by adds after =)

wonder how possible it is to try a suiside on chief tactic as i think we allready got the items

 

[anubis]

hm, with 2 sms it shouldnt be a problem imo

with melee fg we usually pull the chief, and all assist on him, doesnt matter if wipe, just kill that chief and that's it

 

[Bhalage]

it is doable, keep on trying imo, or get another grp to help u m8s

Well the biggest problem we had was mez & stun, both.. Without stuff like determination / purge / MoC, since we're all RR1...

 

[Summoner]

try to pull him with a offgrp bb. or give me a shout if after 18CET tonight, i'd be able to come and help out

 

[Phule_Gubben]

1 fg of FoM did 2.3 with a more or less gimp grp + a FoPbot on the side and we had the skald pulling whilst inside the grp.

Erm. Solo'd the Chief with 2 diff chars - approach carefully, kamikaze, rezz with BB.
Your FG REALLY should be able to do enough damage to him fast enough to kill it.

Well it was so weird, pulled the chief and we get the whole room on our arse... We then get insta-mezzed (as if it wasnt enough to stop 6-8 mobs casting normal mez, they put insta-mezzers in there too), then some mobs ae-stuns us and we're basicly dead... Tried to clean the room, but spawn is too fast to do that... (perhaps lack of ra's and good sc-suits screws us over though, because we have seriously bad gear but sc/ac-bot arent lgm yet )

The ae-stun is the most annoying of them all, makes me almost feel bad about using it on albs/hibs

Gonna try again a few times tonight then...

I think what mags trying to say is:
We could do enough dammage to him, if we wern't all mezzed and then stunned.
Because you get so many adds when you pull him, and then while your fighting your mezzed and stunned, our low RR hurts us especially badly as an SM can't just MoC the zerg down, or warrior/zerk cant kill him becase were still mezzed because we have no RA's!

Don't bother clearing the room, just take the group up to the top, hugging the wall, kill any stray aggro you get.
Disband the warrior and a rezzer.
Warrior approaches alone, slams and smacks away, adds will all go to him (you get a few seconds window before the adds hit him), SMs stay at range and nuke (don't try to pbae, you'll get pwnd by interrupts) and you'll be out of all the AE flak. Even with shit equip and no RAs, the Warrior really should live for long enough and the SMs do enough damage to kill the chief before wipe (was about 5/6 nukes with my Mind Sorc after str/con iirc - did use moc as I got all adds on me, but you won't. slam and 4 levi with Reaver - did use purge so I could keep damaging, but you won't as you have SMs doing that).

hmmm we got wiped once, then killed all adds and pulled mob solo .o

Was very easy with 2 grps

 

[Puppet]

Can also do with a shadowblade (its how we did it first on Hib). Let a shadowblade stealth up and group him with a healer with spreadheal who is outside aggro but inside healing aggro.

Tell the SB to perf the mofo and whack it down; and the healer spreadheals the SB who's under attack to keep him alive.. Not easy but def. doable.

Chief dies, rezz up

You should have no problems with 2.3 , we did it with only a fg at the Antron camp, speos camp is a lot harder(more adds).
