its a stupid mechanic, theres no way its intended that it refreshes its shields every 6 seconds

Any consensus on a good strategy for this boss?

I might be mistaken, but i think its one of the worldbosses that get harder the more players r around.
Addspawns seem to be based on amount of players around, so if theres alot of players who cant carry their own weight, it gets insanely hard to kill him.

The shield seems not absorbing all dmg, not quite sure yet, but it looks like it just eats the crit dmg portion.

Imo its one of the easier worldbosses for soloing, he doesnt have a oneshot mechanic and generally does very low dmg. Will prolly take very long tho, even longer than gryphons.

If he's anything like the karn public dungeon group boss (which I soloed without realizing), make sure to get as many orbs down while he's underground... Seems to work much better that way.

Sorry???

I manage to kill him with a group of 12 players.. took some serious time

Maybe invite some of those players from that thread where everyone is complaining that the game is too easy. Let’s see how they deal with this. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

Hi

For the most part, the grievances in that thread refer to the solo adventure. Chapter quests, overland quests, delves, and POI combat interiors. Not group content such as world bosses.

That being said, B'Korgen can be solo'd, but you need a different approach compared to most other bosses. Lots of AOE. You basically need to be doing substantial damage all around you for the whole fight. Most solo PvE builds can handle her, but likely need to be adjusted to deal more AOE damage to handle the orbs.

She's tougher than most of the other Tank'n'Spank world bosses, but only requires a build adjustment to beat. Analyzing her mechanics and numbers and putting together a response is an acceptable challenge that can be overcome. This is how players do things like solo veteran hard-mode DLC dungeons. Just search on youtube "ESO SOLO VETERAN HM" and you'll find so much content.

And frankly, once you're doing stuff like that, everything else in the solo adventure stops feeling like adversity by comparison. Starts to feel like a theme park tour where you wave prop swords at the bad guys and they fall over.

To each their own, but to me, the difference in challenge and gameplay between solo and group content, along side the identical response (and sometimes, even rewards) from the narrative for overcoming that content, is extremely jarring and dissonant. So I'm excited to see what they have planned for addressing that.
