Talk:Ice Burst Locklay

This little turd is a royal pain. He does a timed AoE attack for around 8k every 10 seconds. Also at certain intervals the will spawn mini versions of himself (as far as I know they are only elites with about 80k health each, they were easy to kill) but they do around 300 dmg per hit as well as throw DoT's on you (each one has a DoT, and yes they can stack). At around 25% Locklay does everyone's favorite monster skill -Berserk ( I say favorite because its stupidly overpowered. Basically a warrior's berserk+frenzy+some damage multipliers without the drawback of reduced defense warriors have). However, there is hope. Back in the day when people still lusted after the Lyk armor set, we used to run a double healer, double warrior team with a knight tank, and mage or scout for extra dps. The main healer healed the tank, and only the tank (these days that would be the druid's job I suppose), the backup healer made sure the main healer stayed alive and helped heal the rest of the party. The warriors rotated defensive formation (yes we actually used that skill!!) because back then it boosted mdef as well as pdef, but even now it still reduces the damage from his AoE atacks, which is the real killer anyway. The healers need to stay around the bend in the cave, letting the melee's pin him in the back. This breaks line-of-sight and protects them completely. Once you got the party nice and setup, finish him off, scoop out the meat you need, and wait for the respawn. Hope this helps should you ever decide to try for that armor. I really wish more people did. Nay the One and Only 10:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
