This is where unexpected difficulty spike leads to player deaths.
Everything's fine up to the bit where you have to kill that orc chief elite with his personal healer shaman.
I'd not died questing since about level 14, but died about 6 times in a row on this and never came remotely close to getting him down. Potions, food, fully repaired armour (at the start). By the time I've killed his shaman i'm practically dead. I'm being hit so often and so hard I can't heal fast enough, as a Templar I don't have time to run out of mana with honor the dead. I was underlevel 22, levelling to 23 as I kept trying over and over... but this is so much harder than the quests I did before and after.
I'm the sort of person that gets more stubborn and bloodyminded the angrier I get, so whilst raging away in chat I kept on trying to solo it, determined not to get help. Saw a few other dead bodies lying around as I ran back, though a level 32 sorcerer killed him with crystal shard etc, still at 40% health.
Two level 25 dragon knights ran in to two team the guy, I decided i'd sit this one out as if my character can't solo it it's worthless and should be deleted anyway. But they started dying and it was a case of let them die and feel guilty or help, so I started spamming heals, got the quest done that way.
So, it only takes 3 people to beat him then?

jesterstear✭✭✭OK, I've run into other mobs who put up a sphere of dark purple around themselves and realised this is incredibly damaging and you need to fight them outside of it.
That comes from the orc chief not his shaman though. My problem is the only ranged skill I got is the autoattack on my restoration staff. This fight is tough for melee types! IT helps if you're very hard hitting, since that purple dome is a continuous health drain that can't be avoided.
So can I kill that shaman just with restoration staff autoshot? then kill the big guy in melee, by dragging him away every time he casts the purple cloud?0 -
Kirsch9✭✭I got it solo LvL 27 NB vamp. Fixed or I'm just a bad A$$! Then again, she could kill 40's at 20, sooo...

was some time ago but my NB had no problem with him.. then again she is exclusively bow skilled so I didn't exactly come close to him
