    Ultima Weapon....more like Ughtima Weapon

    I decided to try The Minstrel's Ballad at the start of my long weekend. With a minimum requirement of ilvl 61, he shouldn't be all that hard, what with my group being pretty decked out, right?

    Are you sure that's not supposed to be minimum requirements ilvl 81? Because I don't think a way exists for a group made entirely out of ilvl 61 could take it down. My well equipped group had him down to about 25%, had the 20% Echo buff, and we hit the 10 minute mark so we all died.

    Please tell me that, since it's a pre-req for something in 2.3, that he may be nerfed a bit? The menders are making a fortune off me, and all of my groups have pretty much said the same thing.

    There is a way, the same way people used when they first cleared it. From what I've read that battle requires everyone to follow a strategy flawlessly, and even use tank LB3 at certain point.

    I'm aware of the strategy. I make sure others know the strategy. My largest amount of defeats just came from his enrage mode.

    If your group is as geared as you feel they are, you should never hit enrage unless you're still learning mechanics.

    I'm sure some may be. I guess I'm mostly complaining since I wasted so much time on it.

    How many people needed to be raised? I just did it over the weekend with a friend as my back-up healer (and another as a bard which basically got us the kill). We raised 3 DD's back to back off swiftcast cooldowns the entire second half of the fight (I think it was 9 raises total) and killed him 19 seconds before the cast completed. I can't imagine it's that tight of an enrage for a full i70 group that doesn't die.

    Always remember the Silver Rule:

    Nobody cleared it at 61. When the fight was introduced, most people were 80> with close to full myth.

    Uhm I never mentioned gear.

    (I know OP did but my reply was pointing out the strategy needed)

    I have cleared it with everyone around 70, back when Ultima was new... The way we handled it, I'm sure we could've done it with all 61 too. Haven't tried it, and it might be very hard, but the minimum ilvl is just that, the "minimum" requirement, it doesn't mean it will be easy...

    It's a very complicated fight and I hope you win it soon. If he goes enraged it might be that too many people are dying in your parties.
    The problem like always is those orb links...have to run at them as a group (and second tank can help).
