Q:

Can somebody clue me in on how to deal with the Nightmare Court Knights in Twilight Arbor (Story/Explorable)? As far as I can tell they have 3 AOE Knockdowns that deal 1.5k damage each hit in Explorable, back to back with zero cooldown. While we can deal with one, the moment two or worst, three plus the Count of Blood (3.6k ranged attack and regular 2k melee hits), they seem insurmountable.

Are we supposed to face tank with 100% uptime of Protection and Stability?

The way my guild and I did it was to pull them down the pathway, (where those archers spwn) picking off one at a time until only Leurent was left. Its Cheesy, but it works. They do hit like trucks. Stability helps a lot. Hope that helps. Other then that we just farm the other two pathways ;P

Have either stability, some CC break or learn to dodge the skills. they have a build up animation and can be easily dodged once you learn it.

You can also interrupt it.

You have nothing to fear but Fear itself

Sounds easy on paper. And against a single one of them. Problem arises when there are 3 dropping Hammer Shocks and Wells of Corruption (3k damage per tick) in a relatively small corridor.

And yes, the Well of Corruption they drop did prevent us from face tanking with Protection and Stability.

Pulling one by one or separating them or Kiting while CCing them worked for my group

I wasn’t aware that you could separate them. Do you go after the one on the far left (as you drop down)?
