Really?! Didn't notice that... *sigh*0 -

✭✭✭✭✭A couple of mechanics I noticed when doing this while very low powered by myself (I nerfed myself on purpose).
The boss summons small adds called Hallowjack Whipvines. These add additional hard cc to the fight. So if your group is struggling or trying out a solo run on a toon that's not got a lot of DPS, make sure to kill them quickly.
Watch out for the carrion swarms that spawn from the resource draining scarecrows. They'll follow you around and do a lot of damage.0 -
NoSoup✭✭✭✭✭Pretty pleased with myself soloing him on my first attempt. Having dark deal for stamina renewal was a giant bonus, you can use the skill while crouched. Would have been a lot easier if I went in with oakensoul and just rellied on HA but got it done all the same.Formally SirDopey, lost forum account during the great reset.....1

Checked some youtube videos from last year and I want to apologize to everyone (including ZOS) for false information on my part.1
