I’ve attempted the Balthazar event five times in the past ten days (thereabouts). Two of those were successful kills, the three most recent were not. There was a difference in tactics – when we succeeded, the Champion Abomination was killed first and the Priest went down quickly afterwards with a couple of minutes on the timer to spare.
Drawing a conclusion after only five attempts is shaky at best, but when we’ve ignored the Abom and gone full DPS on the Priest, I’ve seen things that are unusual – in one failure its health only dropped by around 50% in the ten minutes, in another we got the health down to around 25% only to see it jump back up to 40% in a few seconds.
I think there’s a hidden mechanic at play in this event where the Abom is providing some sort of protection and perhaps even healing to the Priest. I’ll happily say I was wrong if that’s not the case, but I will leave the following thought: Have you ever succeeded in the event by just concentrating DPS on the Priest and ignoring the Abomination?
