How does a "troll unguent boost" constitute a problem, though? Just interrupt him or something.

Is a problem if you dont have interupt, and is only you and the boss.

While I know Troll is incredibly useful for me as a ranger, its NEVER caused a problem for me or any of my friends when a boss uses it. As long as you either have degen or spike damage to counter it, OR can interupt it, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to outdamage him. I find necros can be harder sometimes to outdamage sometimes.

btw dunno about the sf rangers, but the gf ranger boss has always had troll unguent.

keep whacking and do the damage.. the troll wont last to long.. and by the time you attacking his life would be getting lower than the maximum when he used it say:

l--------------------l <-- Life
l-----------------------l <-- troll unguent
l-----------------l <----you whacking
l------------l <-- Life
l--------------l <-- troll unguent
l----------l <--- whacking

Thus the nerf. Learn to adjust. A simple interupt will do it.

Let us not be mindless. Its PvE. It is not that difficult.

Perhaps you just are not meant to kill them alone?

Would you mind sharing your build that allows you to solo SF? I'm guessing it is one of the 55hp builds?

Thank you.

Sure it's soloable. However, you need Knight's Boots, Glad Armour, HoD Sword, +15% Fiery Flame Spitter (to switch out), 20% Rockmoulder, and the Lt's Helm to be able to do it.

:-)

EDIT: Shiznit...

You know Guru is going down hill when they make people like me a 'Citizen'...

That's ok.. I actually went out and capped Spellbreaker with my ele, with every intention to use it alongside Obsidian Flesh for a near-constant prot from spells. I actually capped it before realizing how futile that is :-)

That was the first of two observations I made. The second was that Spellbreaker is based on Divine not Protect like I had thought lol.. And this was my Ele/Mo :-)

You can just put one elite on your bar and cap 7 other elites. Another strategy would be to have:

elite
arcane echo
arcane mimicry
signet of capture
signet of capture
signet of capture
signet of capture
signet of capture

You would use your 5 signets of capture for any 5 elite skills. You would use arcane mimicry to steal an opponent's elite, and then you would arcane echo to echo an elite. This would make the task much easier because you would only need 5 captures instead of 7.

I don't want an item, just wanted to take a stab at how you would get 8 elites on your skill bar.
