Talk:Lord of Blades

Couple errors here:

LoB's to-hit isn't that high on Hard. ~85 maybe. Definitely noticed frequent misses on a 92 AC tank, especially after LoB was cursed. Didn't see any grazing hits. Elite is yet to be tested. LoB's baseline melee damage on Normal is higher than stated. Maybe 90-110 per hit (and there's two attacks per animation). Divine Punishment is spammed on anyone with LoB's aggro that is off the platform, maybe also on people with Quori aggro that are off the platform. Be careful if you have the Forge buff and run out onto the water. Rain of Blades isn't all that dangerous. Self-healing characters can survive it on any difficulty, but only with active healing (passive healing, like Death Aura, isn't enough). Pouncing Strike shouldn't outright kill players in most situations. Whirlwind is healable on Normal/Hard with two scroll healers, and has a very noticeable audible tell. I still recommend running into the plasma. 10.183.250.133

Updated his hard to hit value based on your note. Tho I put 88 as my testing on arraetrikos shows he goes up +8 points per difficulty notch, so i'd guess LoB may be similar. Either way, more testing will be needed to verify that.

Damage: um your numbers are within the current listed values. His damage can vary a LOT as he uses big variable damage dice like most bosses, something like 9d12 probably (9-108 + strength bonus).

DP: Yea noted thats only when ur in water in my edit.

Rain of blades: Um yea it's that dangerous. It wiped my entire raid group the first time in. If your well prepared for it, sure its not too bad.. If you dont expect it and dont know what it is, its possibly the most deadly attack. It does scale up quite a lot in damage on elite/epic too (esp if your reflex save is low, probably should note its a reflex save)

Pouncing strike: Well in a perfect world where all players have 400+ hp and only run norm/hard.. Not the case for most players that might want a guide to help them, many are running it at 300ish hp, well within 1 shot territory, espeically on higher settings or if he gets power of the forge. On epic i've seen him 1 shot countless players with pounce.

Whirlwind: Um, again in a perfect world. But not for players needing advice. Yes sure for a 900+ hp tank with max heal amp and 2 max scroll mastery healers sure.. Otherwise, let him knock ya in the plasma, its a lot less damage.

Also please sign your talk posts, even if your anonymous. (type ~ ), tho i did for you already. Shade 23:00, October 9, 2011 (EDT)
