Lvl 15 Boss strat

Adena · April 2014

For the lvl 15 quest boss underneath the Vulkhel Guard lighthouse... (Pretty sure I butchered that name, but whatever.)

Does anyone have a good strat for beating this guy? He spams an instant attack that hits me for 125 (95 with lightning form up) and does not appear to be avoidable. I am a sorc and have resorted to spamming Crystalline Fragments and using the resto staff regen, all while running around the big rock in the room to wait for my magicka to regen.

I have gotten very close several times with this method, but I feel I am missing something to have to resort to chain CC. Something to do with the green totem aoe he puts in the ground? Please help.

What did you wear as armor?

Medium and light, but he was still hitting for close to 100 even with lightning form up, which easily softcaps both magic resist and armor anyway. The dude hits like a truck.

This was the toughest fight so far for me too although I did win on the first try. I was Templar, Restoration staff, and used the Dawns light slow skill, and just kept up regeneration and spammed staff power attack, and healing ritual as needed, Dark Flare when I could afford the 2 second cast (usually when he charged up his big attack. All light armour, soft capped magika/magika regen.

Don't forget to dodge if you need to in order to avoid some attacks.

Edit: In regards to the stick he puts in the ground, I just pulled him away from it, as it looked nasty. I could be wrong but I think it also help him regenerate...

Are you using familiars? The clannfear can be very useful for fights like this. I didn't think it was, until I respec'ed into a pure lightning spec. I found out just how useful those familiars can be. Quickly went back to my kite spec.
