Alright, I warned you so if you click this you KNOW there's spoilers! Anyways, does anyone have a good henchie/hero based build to kill Shiro? I had no problem closing down the five portals but, when I had to fight Shiro and the Undead Lich at the same time, Shiro's Impossible Odds ended WHOOPING my ass to the ground! You don't even get any celestial skills and there's a 15% penalty to all healing spells.

My heroes were the Master of Whispers (MM), that Centaur guy (Fire nuker), and Olias (SS) with Mhenlo and the other monk henchie. Devona and the Paragon hench as well.

That being said - could someone post a copy of that build using a Necro/Mesmer to kill Shiro with henchmen? It would be extremely useful to get an idea how to beat Impossible Odds. :/

Until then, I'll be down in the Plane of Torment alone doing Lightbringer quests. :X

I gotta check if Blackout works against his IO or not. It's really going to be a hard mission for most PuGs to beat since you don't get any Celestial Skills. :/

Sorry for offtopic, but today just today I was wondering if we will see Shiro again in the Realm of Torment, and it seem's I was right .

I would think the Spoil Victor buff would be handy here...

Only one melee guy, clear all the shrines, plant your henchies around a location so that they kite Shiro. Eventually he'll aggro your one melee, and you can just beat him down with ranged attacks. Was pretty simple really.

I'll try this now that I have time. Thanks for the info about Spoil Victor. :]

In all honesty, I only tried this once so far today because I've had to work 9 hours so. Thanks a lot for the insight! I'll see you all at the end of the game!

Hmm, this might be right in front of where I am, is this a required quest or mission?

I beat him with SS, Insiduous Paracite, Reckless Haste, Weaken Armor, Price of Failure. Put my Necro hero on passive and used him like he was me.
