I did crippling anguish + conjure phantasm and ran around non-stop. Had natural healing too for any odd healing i needed. Just keep outa range of the spirits

Spirit spamming, as suggested.

I tried other ways of handling it but quickly got sick of it... even banishing strike wasn't really enough since I had to kill the griffon as well.

Switch to ranger secondary, take Toxicity, Poison Tip Signet, Hunter's Shot, Read the Wind. Bring along some self-heals or some extra ranged damage if you want.

Lay down toxicity, apply read the wind, apply poison tip signet, fire Hunter's Shot.

Lose aggro, when everything is ready, rinse and repeat. Takes a while but works wonders.

be sure to cap [skill]Wanderlust[/skill] it was much easier after i grabbed that, and yes i went with spirit spamming and interrupts [skill]dissonance[/skill] stagger wanderlust and dissonance and it should shut him down nicely

I used the same ritualist spirit spammer build that is used to beat bison.

I'm also having a bit of difficulty with this quest. Does anyone have any sort of in-depth tip for killing this griffon?

Spam them to degen him to death, i didn't even need him to get stuck (the bug that is now fixed). Take natural healing for spot heals, a 15/1 staff maybe and some form of e-management if you wish.

i didnt find spirit spamming that effective.

i got him with /R

grab favorable winds, toxicity, pious haste, a long/flatbow, apply poison, some sort of heal and a few choice bow attacks.
run to the top of the hill on the right, by the gate. place spirits a little down the hill. apply poision and fire a few shots at him. you should be fine, but if he runs at you use pious haste to the top of the hill to lose him. you can fire almost the entire radar range from the top of the hill.

I caught him on a tree and killed him when we was bugged and couldn't cast. They fixed the bug a week later.

Victory is mine!
