How do u kill SF ele bosses without dying hundred of times
voltz_Maker
Hi, after all the vanquish I did, I never found out how to deal with SF ele bosses. They always own my whole party in few seconds. Is there a way to deal against it?
Kyomi Tachibana
BHA, Migraine, Guilt, Mistrust, Pain Inverter, to name a few.
Diversion is also a great one to use. Glyph of Renewal+Diversion=What boss?

Kyomi got it. You have to use casting slowers (best is Dazing, so Broad Head Arrow) and/or skills that deal damage with the enemy attacking (best is Pain Inverter).

Flag your heroes out also... since we know anet has dumbed hero AI down so incredibly goddamned much they all just sit directly on top of eachother group hugging no matter how badly they're getting slaughtered by AoE.

[Distracting Shot]
[Save Yourselves]
[Protective Spirit]
[Pain Inverter]

[Ward Against Elements]

There's loads of counters.

Pain Inverter ( dumb Hero AI actually helps here) and Breath of great dwarf, extinguish will own any AoE fow, just make sure you flag one healer a bit behind.

Gwen or Norgu + [skill]Power Block[/skill] FTW!
AshenX
Broadhead Arrow. Thats all it takes.
Darkobra
Frigid armour if you're expecting it to be used against you. Otherwise, the counters used above also work nicely.
Age
Shock.Flail or Frenzy that is how dealt with them in NF although NM but I would think it can still be doen in HM.
Guna
heres a list
Monk: (helps prevent the damage)
Spell Breaker
Protective Spirit
Mesmer (for interrupt or slow cast)
Power Block
Migrane
Ranger (for interrupt) kinda hard tho
Distracting shot
and any kind of knockdown you can do

This is why I love this game, a LOT of options!
My tips:
- Use heroes/henchies flags, so SF cannot hit ALL your party.
- Try an interruption hero, or interrupt yourself.

Run tripple necro with full minion party and apply PAIN INVERTER! Dead Ele Boss in 1/10 second! (with the exception of Ilsundur)

[pain inverter] when your jagged bomber has minions
did it on a spirit rift of a ritu boss and it was insta death

i find having a hero use [[Protective Spirit] on me very useful, as it allows me to hold initial agro pretty well while my heroes are flagged back spaced out (although i did have to get to 40%dp until i realised that my hero had PS
)

Prot spirit or Spirit bond are you friend.
I am pretty sure that if you go out and try to vanquish, you HAVE prot spirit or spirit bond. Pre-cast 1 of them and take the aggro on you while the h/h are flag. Oh and make sure h/h are flag away from each other.
If you vanquishd some area, i'm pretty sure you could have thought this yourself.

Chuck all your H/H up in a tight ball, stand back withyourself and a healer (Party heals ftw) throw pain inverter on the boss and he's dead.

Try Recovery, the rit spirit. SF should burn out before the second hit comes.

As a Ranger, especially wen going against the multiple Ruby Djinn mobs, I found this combo very effective:
[broad head arrow] on one of them, [distracting shot] or [epidemic], depending on whether they're casting or not, and then the minion army got to them and they're dead. [Pain Inverter] if [distracting shot] is recharging and they're not dazed or going to be hit. That usually kills them right off.
