Grenth`s balance. Period. You could bring some degen poison, bleed, etc., but his regen will cover most of that while you run from the spirits.

Perma-shadow worked fine. And that was before it was "cool" cause it was posted on wiki. Slower than other builds I'm sure, but it worked.

I hate this griffon. im a necro prim. and i have tryed every thing but the factions sec. prof. (i dont have factions).

the MM dont work i can only cast maybe 5-6 minions befor the spirits start to kick my butt and for some reason they dont like to fight the griffion

but want to stay on the spirits even when i target the griff. The degen dont do jake at -8 he still is gaining life. the

best i can do is get him down to about 10% hp with GB and a n/w build with 4 interups bleeding &gash (i think its called).

Ive done this around 50 times now and am at my limmit. what can i do?
oh and the glitch where he gets stuck must have been fixed he never got stuck for me

BTW i hate this griffon

1. Obtain the following 3 skills:

[skill]Crippling Anguish[/skill] [skill]Conjure Nightmare[/skill] [skill]Conjure Phantasm[/skill]

2. Set Illusion attribute to at least 12.

3. Obtain & equip a +12 off-hand if you need it (I did, creating a total of 42 energy - pretty low by most standards, but still enough)

4. Meet the Griffon when he drops and smack him with the 3 skills in the order they appear above.

5. Run away, heal/recharge as needed, and re-engage at your leisure.

6. Repeat #5 until victory.

Literally that simple. No need to sweat the spirits, no need to interrupt the Griffon's casting. Yes, you will take some spirit damage each time you re-engage, but not nearly enought to cause a problem. I found that by the time I was re-energized for another attack, my health had returned as well.

During my two attempts (lagged out the first time), I found the Griffon never chased me far (the few times he did). If you experience more aggressive chasing, you may want to equip "You Move Like a Dwarf!".

No runes, no insignia, nothing else. Literally, all it takes is these 3 skills (and an energy item, if your class needs it).

Just did it as an ele with the following:

Conflagration
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Poison Arrows
Mark of Rodgort
Savannah Heat
Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support
You Move Like A Dwarf

As soon as you spawn, start casting in the order i have them. Use Savannah Heat to wipe out any spirits he casts. Once he comes after you, away from the protection of his spirits, hit him with You Move Like a Dwarf. that'll slow him down for a bit so you can hit him with arrows, reapplying the -10 degen.

Kite, and use assassin support whenever you want to split the hurt with someone or keep his natural regen from kicking in once your degen wears off.

Took me about 5 minutes of kiting, but i got it.

I had some trouble with this on my warrior but eventually used the norn tourney build/sskai farm to kill him.
