Did they something change in the forum? I can’t reply properly.
Anyway, You way he spawns adds 3 times? There were 3 in the room initially, then 3 more immediately, then three more when his health was low and that was it. 9 altogether. If you mean there should have been more, I don’t know what to say. I interrupted the spawn? My quest was bugged? It varies?
Okay… I felt like being punished, so I tried it again on my lvl 42 mesmer. I had just changed my traits, so thought I’d see if there was a difference. It was still not easy, but doable.
I used all of my skills that remove boons from the foe, kited him until he was about 2/3 health (most of that from illusion damage, not me). Problem is, if my illusions die, his health pops right back up, and it’s hard to spawn more illusions on the run. So, in the end, I got him to 2/3 health and brought him into the hallway where the spikes finished him off about half a second before I died. I picked a safe corner and popped a healing seed beside me and just kept removing boons. It wasn’t pretty, and it’s far from proper.
Oh, and also, I had ‘restarted’ after dying there, so all of the minions were already dead.
Then Mazdak. LOL. I brought his minions back to the previous room and killed them. Then revived my party (they were fortunately close to the door). Then we went after Mazdak. At first I thought, this is easy, until at about 30% the undead came out. Then my party died, and I died. I came back in and killed the adds, and died reviving my party. But I did get them revived on the next try, while being hit beside a healing seed. I really couldn’t do much damage without my party… the sword wasn’t so great. Anyway, the good news is, after that he’s easy because he doesn’t spawn adds a second time.
I’m on a mesmer. I gave up on this quest after much death when I was level 29 (I actually thought it was bugged or something, hahahaha). I went back to try again tonight – I’m now level 38 and my gear is pretty good, so I can survive longer. But, I still can’t do this quest!!! I’m struggling with the mesmer a bit, I’ll admit, but I haven’t had anywhere near this much trouble with any of the other quests. I was thinking that I had to change all of my skills and weapons or something, and try a different style of play…
I tried the hallway twice. The first time, I never even made it to a ‘safe spot’. The second time, I was doing okay, but then he started pounding on me, and kiting in that hallway isn’t really a good idea.
Anyway, after a couple rounds of broken gear and not much significant progress again tonight, I found this thread. I’ll give it another try after the patch.
