I seem to remember that when I first fought Glint, almost a year ago, that she was pretty difficult. When I fought her with subsequent characters she also seemed very hard. I always needed a good PuG to put her down, henchies just weren't 'good' enough (and my guild is and has always been less than active).
Well, I just beat Glint last night with a full group of henchies...it was very easy. I only interrupted her crystal hibernation and it only took a few minutes. Now maybe I just got better at controlling the henchies, and the game in general, but it just seemed too easy...
anyway here is a screenie
Glint - Too Easy?

Yeah but you have +2 to all attributes from your silly duped SoJs, psshhh
It's really hard to make a single mob that can fight a whole group, but I would like to see Glint buffed significantly, with nicer loot

Throw in a green from Glint, and a gold chest for my troubles...I'd do it.

Yeah, I beat Glint for the first time on tuesday. I had a Pug to do it. Is it me, or did she get significally easier to beat her?
Craze Horse
I noticed it too. I saw a few henchies take her fireballs like they were nothing. I also wanted to do the egg strafeing method, but when I held on to the egg, Glint was not attracted to attack me as a priority.

this has been changed quite long ago, think it was shortly after factions came out, because ritualist would get owned all the time holding the ashes (or have a really good tanker for everywhere in pve :P). most people only realised it through the book and gear trick being 'nerfed', but it was like that for everything you carry.
about glint..meh, havnt done dragons lair in ages, cant remember. :/ i only remember her being horrible hard to kill, cause of pugs..and henchies was a no for me back then since i was a mo/n and had no chance to change secondary, meaning i couldnt interrupt. :< gah, stupid pugs lol
making glint, the lich and shiro harder would be funny..they should deserve some *more* strenght for being level 31 (i think they all are?) :P

I don't know. Maybe it is easy if you have a ranger interrupter, but if you don't, it's quite hard, IMO.
I have the Protector of Tyria title, so have beaten Glint (several times in fact) with PUGs, and it didn't seem too bad. This was months ago.
The last couple nights I've been trying to help a guildie beat Glint, as that's the last bonus he needs for the Protector title. And we have failed 3 times so far with PUGs. The problem must be that we went in without an interrupting ranger I guess. We've never even got Glint's health bar less than 50% in the three tries.
My guildie is a warrior, and I've been going in with an SS necro build (SS, Awaken the Blood, Parasitic Bond, Arcane Echo, Desecrate Enchantments, Spinal Shivers, Reckless Haste, and Vampiric Gaze/or Rez - 12+3+1 in Curses). So I figured my Shivers would provide some sort of interrupt, but the problem has been that I apply Shivers to the beast, but then end up having to turn tail and run when she starts firing fireballs at me - two hits and I'm pretty much gone - and if no one is doing Cold Damage the shivers does nothing.
Anyway, my two cents is that maybe it's easy with an interrupting ranger, but please tell me an easy way to kill Glint without the interrupter.

No inturrupts, I don't even think I had a max damage axe then.

hehe indeed, 6th stage with the ele spikers is the hardest part though
Xaero Gouki Kriegor
they should add spectral agony, battle scars, impossible odds, and meditation of the reaper, along with all of the other skills glint already has, then lets see who can solo it :P
**edit**
dont say wildblow either because guildwiki "This skill is not a stance, so Wild Blow will have no effect. This is a common misconception."

Went with my dom mesmer for the first time against glint and she was a pushover. All my other chars had trouble though.
Maxiemonster
Yeah, let's make Glint strong enough to defeat the Lich King and Shiro, so she can give us the job to defeat them, even though she could do it all by herself!

That's what always happens in games, absolute-uber npc sends you on quests they could easily do themselves
Xaero Gouki Kriegor
She needs do more work seriously, lets see her do chapter 3 alone, since we had to do all of chapter 1 and 2
Poison Ivy
Kuunavang or Glint :P
teh blink
you need interupts and wild blow. basiclly it. to defeat glint.
lambda the great
You only need One interupt to defeat her
Samuel Dravis
power return ftw!
Aussie AJMW
i think glint should take chapter 3 and make master togo and brother mhenlo do chapter 4 and then lets give the emporer a push towards killin baal
Xaero Gouki Kriegor
glint is cooler looking then kuunavag, plus i think glint could eat her, i mean compare their size, glint is much more buffed then kuunuvang

Yeah, I have heard about how easy she is to beat with interrupts so when I took my ranger through dragon's lair I had savage shot loaded and there was also another ranger with interrupt as well. Now I know I'm not a pro and sometimes have trouble with timing interrupts, but I swear to God she was nearly impossible to interrupt every single time between both of us rangers. The fight went on a while and we wound up losing to her. This was probably 2-3 months ago, but not sure.
Anyway, I now got my necro to dragon's lair and unfortunatly one jackhole decided having only 1 monk(other bailed earlier in mission) was no way we could beat glint so he ported out leaving the rest of us all saying, "WTF???".
I'm not sure if I've read whether anyone has used these sets of skills before with necro, but what about something like this?
Soul Barbs
Spiteful Spirit
Empathy
Parasitic Bond or Ether Tap/Ether Lord of energy
Desecrate Enchantments/Shame (perhaps shame for energy boost)
Inspired Hex (for energy boost)
Backfire
Rez Signet
I'd have attributes something like (don't remember though):
Curses 12+1
Domination 9
Inspiration 8
Soul Reaping 6
Basically throw Soul Barbs on then hex the hell out of her and watch her kill herself with SS, Backfire and Empathy. Also, with Soul Barbs on then for every hex put on her and every enchantment she uses she takes damage. Now I know this build is an extreme energy hog; however, does this look doable or some variation of it maybe? I'm sure this is something others have looked into using before....I don't claim to be so clever as to actually come up with an original build. Thanks for any input.

Lol how do u guys manage to move ur stuff around (skill bar, enchantments and hexes, etc.)? Is it something they updated and now u can't do it?

In Soviet Russia, Glint interupts you!

We got owned by glint because noone had an interrupt, lol, but a monk/nec who had just capped grenths balance nearly killed glint... THAT was cool.

Yeah, it's much easier to hit her spells with a >1/4 second cast time interrupt than a ranger one. Just bring a couple of mesmer things like power return and power spike (no need for any points in dom either, because you're just interested in the interrupt anyway).

Inspired hex ftw.
Glint has this hex, that every skill you cast causes exausthion. You can remove it with insp. but insp. won't become that hex, bexause it's a monster-only skill. Because it has no recharge time, you can immediately use it again. it's a free 5 energy every second. That will give even one monk enough energy to keep everyone alive.
As for the offense, I used a W/N. I attack glint, causing massive dmg to myself because of that skill of her, when I'm almost dead I cast Grenth's Balance, for 560 dmg every 10 seconds xD. only problem is your health goes down REALLY fast so you need to time GB well. if you're 1/2 second late, you're dead. Needless to say we pwnd Glint with it.

The first time I henched my way thru this mission was way back in May or June of 2005. It was much harder then, not least of all because there was only 1 monk NPC available for the mission.
Trunce
Some guy died once, and that was when my Interupt missed. We had a harder time with the people before it (Aggro and what not). Too easy, 'specialy for the "o bonus so hrd!" I heard while LFG
Zarfol
I think glint is moderately difficult. Without interrupts you're in trouble.
I killed her with 6 henchies, myself (ranger), and a friend (necro).
Arcane echo'd grenth's balance took her out easy.
If you want to talk about stupidly easy, The Lich becomes a more suitable topic.

Finally killed glint with a PUG last week. Started with 8 peeps, ranger left after cap, no big loss. 2nd monk left after cap. Everyone cried we weren't gonna make it. I said lets try its the only bonus I needed for protector. Used warriors endurance and wild blow and glint slowly died. WOOTS poured in from all. Definatley not easy but having at least one interupt is essential. I'd bring more incase someone drops.
