They are true, I was at the SoR downing of him the first time and I was so happy there was a way to use karma for trinkets
Happy hunting.

If its a matter of luck how is that fair?
Generally if you are standing far away from him dodging backwards will make sure you won’t be hit. Dodging to the sides is luck based.
For a concentrated group effort I would say :
Stand in a ring around him.
Once he starts rotating his staff in the air turn around and start running
After 2 rotations of the staff (1.5 ish seconds) dodge / shadowstep away.
Replace above with a mesmer portal if you really have good coordination.
Having a couple dedicated ressurectors with either the necro signet or the warrior banner could be useful. As long as you are full hp you should just be put into a downed state (was my experience).
A small tip is that shades do take condition damage. While it is far better to just go into the portal to damage them sometimes it isn’t an option so if you have aoe bleeds / epidemic just throw it out there to help all you can. Also staying clumped is asking for a full wipe. Try to stagger spread so only 1/4 of your group dies each time, and don’t forget swiftness for the run back!
Being there on my necromancer, I can say it was a truly awesome feeling even if the fight is borderline unfair. Actually that sort of made defeating him all the sweeter.
You just have to get lucky and watch the animation when he is casting and hope you dodge the correct way.
Or use death shroud to survive.
Spent 550k karma with recurring the drops and vials to buy more until I ran out.
Got
6 of the Balthazar mini pets
7 ish lodestones
4 stacks of unidentified objects
43 Obsidian shards
Guess for now just a warning to other players who read here. Hopefully this is fixed and refunded. Would suck to miss out on 10 of them.
