Use stand your ground if you are melee fighting him with a gaurdian and always keep moving behind him and you can even move under him.

Ranged can dodge the flame that he sends out and that will keep him from knocking them down.

dodge when he bends to smash the ground in melee, a little after as ranged

Except that animation is too quick(.10 seconds to react) and share animation with his searing crystal summoning. It also happens directly after he smashes the ground so it hard to react to it.

Stand behind the NPC and let her take it. Stand with a ranger’s pet between you and him. Dodge before he fist-pumps before the smash to avoid it.

No it doesn’t, crystal is sort of a upward flex animation, knockdown wave is downwards animation

The upward flex animation is the huge AoE burn.

Sigh… the crystal he does a very slow crouch like animation with both of his hands then into a upward flex… the knockdown is a one hand slam… the downward animation are quite distinct, and the speed varies greatly, I don’t see how it share the same information. If it’s just your reflex not being quick enough, then learn the attack pattern and anticipate what attack will be coming up next.

Watch any video on Legendary Effigy. You are a funny man, asking for advice and won’t take any.

  • Slow upward fles to downward slam = AoE burn, you can see the circle on the ground
  • Slow downward crouch = spawns AoE knockback circles
  • Fast downwards slam with one hand = fast ground projectiles that KD
