Ok Guys/Gals, search comes up with nothing but crap for sale when typing in "darksong Farming", "darksong', etc. Fact is, I can't kill this guy in HM. A/E, E/A, W/Mo, W/N, 55Mo/N, 55Ne/Mo.... you get the idea.

Every other boss I go after I can take down after I learn and/or modify the build(s), so I must really suck with this guy.

The only thing I've heard is to pull the other group closer (with the Sliver Builds) to ensure the damage to him, but I get my ass handed to me every time. Any help would be appreciated.

Didn't post any of my builds/atts etc. because it's mostly the same things we all use. I can give em if necessary.

Thanx

I haven't tried this guy myself in HM yet, but I guess a N/Mo with SV would be your best bet.
You will suffer considerably from degen, so maybe Watchful Spirit besides Mending and HB is the way to go. You could leave Essence Bond out for it as Balthasar's Spirit should suffice for HM mobs.

Good hunting


ps:
Don't forget the additional regen you can obtain from Life Siphon.

Tested this in hard mode, it works. Kill his allies first as they increase his paragon healing.

A / Mo
12 Healing Prayers
9 Dagger Mastery
12 Critical Strikes

Critical Agility, Critical Defenses, Golden Phoenix Strike, Critical Strike, Moebius Strike, Death Blossom, Vigorous Spirit, Live Vicariously

Usage:
Cast Live Vicariously outside battle. Just before engaging, cast Vigorous Spirit, Critical Agility, Critical Defenses, in that order. Run in and attack with Golden Phoenix Strike, then Critical Strike. Now toggle between Moebius Strike and Death Blossom. Use Critical Strike for energy management and to renew Critical Agility / Defenses if they run low. Recast Vigorous Spirit when it runs low.

This guy is my leet para tome factory. he's incredibly easy to take down with this build:
[skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Healing Breeze[/skill][skill]Spirit Bond[/skill][skill]Insidious Parasite[/skill][skill]Spoil Victor[/skill][skill]Essence Bond[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill][skill]Mending[/skill]
16 Blood
7+3 = 10 Curses
8 Healing
8 Prot
SV + IP on him, your health should be fine with the gain from IP, spirit Bond is an emergency button to keep your health topped off.

*EDIT* forgot to say, the entire build (except Spirit Bond) came from Pariah Hellfire and her awesome SV solo necro thread. Spirit Bond is just in there because it's my favorite monk skill in the game, and i don't want my black cabal armor AL 15 to go to waste. not to mention it makes surviving as easy as dying.
