Balor, how to kill it.

Here is a simply tactic to kill Balor.

-You need at least 2 players, unlike other bosses, the more players the better.

-Everyone skills for run speed and damage and keeps his jumps on good hotkeys.

-The player with the aggro plays chicken and runs the big circles with Balor. Use jump to avoid hits if you are not fast enough and point his breath to the outside arena. Its all easy to dodge once you got the rhythem.

-You can also use guardians and wolves to block balors movement if something goes wrong, or the Herald needs attension.

-One last tip, as with Mortis, Balor looks huge, but has a small hitbox and is easy to jump over. So if you can jump, jump to his back if the attack is comming or circle fast with run speed skills. Keeping close is safer than the distance.

In the end, Balor is pretty easy. Turnspeed is slow and the attacks can be tanked with a good shield and pots.

 

I've primarily been running with 1h DKs spec'd with the new level 45 DK skill + the lure talent on it. (Whatever it's called.) So literally their function in the team is just to pin down Balor and absorb damage, while the damage dealers take him out.

The summoned Heralds can be mind controlled, so depending on your group, you may or may not want to do that. I mean, it is extra damage, but I don't know if they fixed the bug where if a mind controlled critter gets the last hit, it kill steals you. As well, some people just hate mind control so...

 

Hi my names Bigpapa and I'm a hater. It's been 2 weeks since my last tanking. "Hi, Bigpapa"

Hmmm pin down Balor and absorb damage and taunt him to keep him there, this is starting to sound more and more like a traditional MMO. Only thing missing is a healer.

 

a healer in a mmorpg? no such thing.
this game lets you heal your group when u die,now that's great thinking
