Do Mountain Trolls have a weakness?
King's Spectre
Sorry search seems to be down and I don't have my full set of elemental damage collector blades together yet.
So does anyone know off hand if Mountain Trolls take more damage from a particular attack type. Being warriors I'd guess that elemental damage > physical. Any element better than any other? They don't have extra armor vs slashing of something do they?
cheers,
KS

Fire, I'm almost certain does extra damage to trolls, whereas cold doesn't do that much, and nor does my earth.

yes, i use a fiery dragon sword with +15% in stance when im fighting them. it galrath and final thrust seem to do 80+ dmg to them.
King's Spectre
Great! Thanks. One weapon for both trolls and giants, then.

So you bait the Troll-traps with it?

I find they drop like flies to physical damage.
Last Roman
like he said fire is the most elemental damage then air, earth, and cold.

Fire doesn't seem to harm the trolls in the black curtain though.

Yes, but that's the challange in that???
Interesting question regarding zealot's fire.

The Fenixxor
Dunno why people use warriors, invincimonks do it in half the time :P

Makes sense - generally in fantasy genre, trolls are weak to fire.
The Fenixxor
gladiators defence sucks :P Mo/Me ftw
Lasher Dragon
3 Dust, Barbed and Flame traps going off at once generally does the trick for me. Sometimes I add a little poison to spice things up.

Glads D + Cyclone > SoJ, simply because I don't have to spend 40K in runes for a build that keeps getting nerfed.
But I'm curious...how does the math work out there? SoJ does like 51 dmg each attack...Cyclone is doing at least 10 dmg every 4-8 seconds, with Glads doing 31-35 or so.
I bet its about even.

I dunno if its worth the time, its close enough it doesn't matter which you use.
Don't forget about the delay from the KD of SoJ...but then with Glads they actually can hit you 25% of the time.
It really is a never ending debate isnt' it

< means Less Than. What he said supports what you are saying.
But I must say, I like Nater's math...

So you must be using Zealots Fire too?
Took me about 1.5 cycles of Glads D to kill em all, plus a cyclone in the beginning to get a Bonetti's charged so they can't disrupt my Vig Spirit.
So figure 50 seconds or so for me.
Do you guys kill both bosses too?

nope, just SOJ. and no i dont kill the bosses.

Yeah, traps get the job done nicely. Also, I don't believe they have any heals (though Troll Ungent would have been expected), so degen can be a nice addition to any arsenal.

The Ranger Troll Boss uses Ungent & Escape. He's a pain to take down sometimes. The regular trolls don't do anything really. They just fall down.

I bet its about even. What keeps getting nerfed? I do not understand what you mean by that. The AoE "nerf" was a balnce, not a pernicious update to do away with 55s.
By the way, I use the glad's/axe build with max tactics, and a 55 friend of mine did it about twice as fast.
