Ogre , To much Inferno drop = wipe

[Lauro]

And like the title says this reallly suck when the "Ogre" just starts spamming this skill sight

It could stand to do the same damage as its other TP moves. On me, while tanking, the punch does around 800, Front cone around 600, Elbow drop ive seen do 1200+, but Inferno drop has hit me usually between 1600 and 2000, and can insta-kill anyone else that isn't a marauder. This ability just hates on Melees and anyone that happens to be too close.

Agree on this... sigh and to the guy whos agree on "stun" well i do stun im a Lancer with Leg Sweep, if i miss were fuc* and if it does it more than 2 times in a row we are fuc*

*wait for the "use Moonrise and Twisted Vice to manage is TP" comments*

Keep in mind that Inferno drop can also be evaded

You figure out the rest.

[RegaDosei]

Whoa wait Lauro?? Dude, equip featherfoot bro. Also as lancer you get Diversion!

[Reika]

Lol at evade it... some attacks arent evadeable, Fire drop being one of them. it Isnt a physical attack, he never 'swings' at you. its elemental. You can evade the punch and both cones but not this. I use featherfoot II all the time, it aint getting dodged.

Its like saying dodge supernova... unless we are cloud at level 99 after 10 hero drinks... yea.

I will mention that the elemental attacks Red Lotus (fire), Iron Tempest (Wind), Seismic Shock (Earth ground, auto-evaded buy flying only), and Luminous spire (Astral) are also not evadable and never miss. Go figure..

*waits for more evade it/stun it/manage tp reduction comments*

Use a Lancer, problem solved.

Seriously, when I fought the Ogre as a Lancer, the fight was surprisingly much easier than when I went in as an Archer. And I never got hit by the Ogre as Lancer as well, didn't need to run away from AoE since I stick to his side + Twisting Vice/Leg Sweep most of his TP attacks. You can evade Fire Drop with Decoy.

Btw, don't Moonrise it. Moonrise only stop TP self-generate like Invigorate.

try the bat reg combo that slows tp gain and raises tp cost. normal attack+ws
your glad should be loaded with tp so just have you dd start the BR with a normal attack and then glad finish it.

better off giong normal attack+normal attack+ws, that will lower def and slow tp generation and raise tp cost.

[Reika]

Lancer's do normally do the trick, but decoy isn't an evasion skill. It absorbes damage ranged and magic attacks. Good for reducing the damage it a bit. Goes back to 'must rank everything to be good' tho, as its r36 archer.

Sentinel helps when he starts using it too.

You can cause all of his attacks to stop, even bone breaker if you're lucky, even tho its like .5second for it to use. How-ever. It's damage range is still too high on the fire drop compared to all the other skills it uses.

Wow that is a big hit...If you arent exaggerating Id suggest either upgrading your armor or making sure you use ur def buffs. I play GLA w/ 504 defense, and the most he usually hits w inferno drop is 1300. Make sure you keep Obsess up on him at all times, If you can time Sentinel right you can get the dmg down to under 1k, somewhere around 600-800. Decoy also works to avoid it altogether, Tempered Will can cut down the dmg. If you dont have a good thm keeping him stacked with paralyze and slow, you can use some disabling potions or paralyzing potions. With a good thm or a healthy supply of potions you can easily go through the entire fight without him using it at all. Shield Bash also works to stun him, though while tanking I personally dont usually get it off fast enough. Defender 2 is an obvious one.

We all struggled with the Insaneo drop, but definitely keeping obsess up will cut down dmg, and debuffs or stuns will cut it out all together. With a great thm in your pt he sometimes goes for 20 second stretches without doing anything, at all. Good luck on your next attempt =)
