So... The Crimson Mother's Blood Siphon attack is fun.

Is this boss literally impossible to solo? Because every time she does that move, I can't do anything to counter it, or break free. She just drains me until I die.

It'd be nice if companions had the ability to interrupt when they're not being actively attacked.

Were it not for some rando jumping in, I wouldn't have that boss marked off my map lmao

    Is that the Group Event in Spire of the Crimson Coin?

    I soloed that in the PTS with a template character IIRC.

    I think you can survive the siphon, you can't break free out of it while solo but you can out heal the damage she does. I think I was running a Healer spec companion, and RoTPO with lots of DoTs.

    I did die once to that boss, so it could be just luck. Not sure if the boss was buffed for Live

    See 4:18 in this video, the player gets out of the siphon

    i remember fighting this the other day, as my tank toon, she was doing negligible dmg to me and i think it does end after a certain time if its not interrupted, very annoying to be sure lol

    companions can bash to interrupt, but only if they are in melee range of the target when they are channeling

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    I recommend using a heal companion or fighters guils ritual of salvation with a tank companion (and stand in it) - that helped me to survive it with a 25k life DD build

    Companions do interrupt if they are melee, and interrupt reliably with SnB.
    Without companions, there is precognition ulti.

    Run the vigor morph that has the HOT and keep it up at all times. At least that's how I soloed the fight

    Most of WB and public dungeon boss are not so dangerous for the decent tank character.
    So, that was same boring combat for me.

    I parked Ember temporarily and brought my Mirri healer out for that fight (after dying the first time of course) ... easy after that.

    For high health tanks it also isn't a problem and you can also keep a couple of HOTs going if you're a low health squishy DPS (Illustrious healing + Regen from resto staff will do the trick.)

    Having said that, I hate capture mechanics almost as much as I hate wall of death mechanics (I'm looking at you Wildhorn.)

    It would be easy if there are more players around. High Isle feels very quiet on PC EU :'(

    You're right and it would be no problem with more player but actually this particular group event boss comes at you pretty fast since the quest for that particular dungeon takes you right to her. I don't remember any other group event boss in other zones coming so soon after you enter the dungeon or being right in the path of the quest.

    Typically the quests in them are fairly easy affairs and you have to go out of your way to even find the main boss but not in this dungeon.

    I think it just catches players a bit off guard because of that.

    Might be, see lots of people around, now if you play in off hours or then the content get older.
    But as we now have 4 companions it might be smart to specialize them. Have the one you like most as your standard follower. One healer and one tank for harder content.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Thank you for your understanding.
