Faelord Twyl in PF

[daphat79]

Just woundering how others are handling the last phase..

It gets crazy at the end. Its also seems that killing the plants soaks to much dmg and we hit enrage. we tried placing the plants but it seems to also go crazy random.

So far the best attempt was ignoring the plants and burning the boss.

Plants despawn -- just circle him around the hedge, with range spreading a bit in the middle to avoid too much damage at the same time.
Run through blue stuff if needed -- you can even jump over it.

It's about the same as Altha... see it a few times, do it easy.

Are you sure they despawn? We tried ignoring plants and they COMPLETELY overwhelmed the entire map so we said screw that and killed plants. In p2 they despawn...I never saw any despawn in p4.

80% sure they despawn.
20% it was random AOE from War / Sab / etc... cause we never targeted anything but people in mezz.

In my experience on live, plants do not despawn. Or at least not until 5-6 plants are up. By which time, you WILL wipe.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you guys accidentally killed some plants then, you gotta bring em down cause our entire screen was literally full of blue. We didn't have a single safe spot.

IDK, we did have many plants on, like Durango says...

And still you do have spots. Circle-tank Twyl along the hedge, and have the range spread on their own in the middle. You can jump over or even run through the blue stuff, no problem.

Plants do despawn, its not worth dpsing them. Indeed its getting kinda hectic in last phase but all you need to do is to find a sweet spot and move as fast as possible (runspeed helps in p4) Also better to overheal this, we ran one senticar, inquisicar and chloro. We didn't even bother dispelling plant debuff.

Having a Senticar AOE dispell on plants helped a lot. The rest... dont bother indeed.

You can't cleanse the debuff that the plants apply in P4; At least when I had tried, I wasn't able to (and neither was the pyro/chloro we had try to cleanse.) If you receive the debuff, you have to get healed through the tick(s) until you gtf out of the plants. Getting out of the plant removes the debuff. So you need good heals.

The only things you can cleanse were the other shenanigans--the rooting is all I can recall offhand.

But getting off the root when plants spawn is exactly the point.

Ah you said AOE dispel on plants which is why I clarified. So instead you just mean to cleanse the Ice/Air root so people don't get rooted within a plant spawn

The key to this fight is where you tank Twyl in the final phase. It can make the plants and blue bubbles easy or difficult to negotiate.

[daphat79]

Yea we figured it out. It was a lack of healing made some adjustments and downed it.

Video for viewing pleasure. Got the shard 1st so it was worth the work.


I don't see how someone just HK geared can meet some of the DPS checks in this instance. you almost need some of the ID mark gear to even down 2 of the bosses.

It also seems like after 5 plants they start to despawn. the ground aoe also slowly goes away.

Pretty much this right here.
If positioning is bad it is going to be really, really painful.
