So been going into Epic Lord of Blades with super top tier groups and with careful playing beating the boss down to his last 5% of health. Then those ghosts come out and we wipe. So far the closest we have been able to deal with it is get a Fvs/air sorc to drop some BB and kite around, that lasts for about 10 seconds before they get stoned/stuned and die a horrible death. Anyone have any tips for this part?

--

It would be easy to say that this part needs a nerf, its not fun playing very well for over an hour, everyone drinking many pots, just to be wiped on the ghosts. Also I dont think having ion stones should be a requirement as they are so rare, increase drop rate? Perhaps I missed a technique though. Also kiting seems a bit like cheating anyway. At least in tod part 2 they dont range stun you. But yeah, seems like kiting and getting lucky is the only way.

I haven't done it myself so this advice is only based on what you've mentioned. I'd think, maybe stick with the kiter and have a kiter "healer" to cast stone to flesh or heal to remove the stun/stoned effect? Make sure the kiter has his own personal bodyguard to keep track of him. Again, I've not done it yet so that may not be as simple as it sounds, but if the kiter can get the majority of the aggro and more importantly keep it off the "healer" then it might work? Healer could stay invis to keep aggro off maybe?

Yeah we have 2 healers on the fvs but the damage from all the mobs is massive. Also you have about a 2 second window between getting stunned and getting creamed. We did think about trying to tank it though, maybe if someone DR200..

WF sorc or fvs i would've thought. Not immune to stun, but immune to FtS, self-healing and enough charisma to soak up a few drains. Spell Resistance might not go amiss either.

palemaster is immune to both stun and flesh to stone. WF is immune to the latter. Really shouldn't be that hard to kite, i usually end up doing it on my fleshy cleric, as i don't have any decent ranged weapon for the pillars anyway. Never been stoned, but my saves are up in the high 30s.

Rdon is that on epic? Cause you gotta kite for lite 10min. Kiting on normal you can go take a dump and still win.

WF pale master can kite with ease. sorry if 1 race/class/pre option is the best option if you want to kite at the last part.

Palemaster is sadly not immune to fts. If they were it would be great would make my job easier. It will become
better if they ever fix PLIS bug for PM's, but at this moment the fts is the instadeath button.
