AST - Tips On Destroying Swords in " A Requiem for Heroes" ?

[Rollind_Montorgueil]

Good morning, all.

Apologies if this has been answered already (I did a search here and in the 'Quests' section and nothing came up).

The title says it all - I've come to a dead stop on Zenos' fight in "A Requiem for Heroes." I am at Ilvl 400, but my gear isn't the issue. Up until this point, I've had no problems with Hien's part pf the duty. It's during the Zenos boss fight when I have to destroy the swords that everything goes sideways. It's strictly a timer issue - the Aether Transfer meter fills up too fast for me to destroy them in time. So for all the Astrologians who managed to get past this part, could you please share how you did it? What spells/abilities did you use?

I (and what little sanity have left) offer my humblest thanks in advance!

(and the dev who came up with the idea of having to restart from the very beginning when the duty fails should be strapped into an unpadded chair and forced to play "Infestation: Survivor Stories" for eternity. Just saying.)
