What's the deal with the Drakenlord?

[N1TroX]

Greetings,

Ok, so I want to know how this creature works, so far my team and I did not have any issue killing it, but yesterday and today, after reaching Chaos IV, we are experiencing some issues that drenching him with oil and shooting with fire did not drop his shield aura, kinda weird because we always manage to drop it off in early Chaos levels.
So my question is: Is there anything we are doing wrong? Perhaps mixing up flame auras + lightning strikes? Is Storm Damage avoiding us to put on fire the Drakenlord? Is a known bug?

Thanks

Well the only "bug" i know about killing him (god that whooshing bug is annoying though lol) is that sometimes if you light him up too early and he puts up shield again. You cannot take it down for quite a while afterwards again, even if you see him on fire again. Maybe its deliberate and not a bug, idk. So nearly always i allow him to step on the defences before i set him on fire to be sure. I doubt its anything to do with other combo's as ive had him stunned, then set him on fire many times. Most experienced people use FA and LSA anyway and it works fine, as would any other defence correctly set up.

So are you setting him on fire too early and he puts up shield again? It is the Huntress 2 + 3 or Oil + Phoenix that isnt working?

Thanks for the response mate, yes I usually play the Huntress, and my partners the other, I usually throw in the oil, i even step inside his aura for a few seconds to drench him with it, then I have fire damage in my bow so I don't need to throw the Phoenix, but today I tried every combo possible, even my partner throwing the oil and my the phoenix at the time the oil hit him.

Btw I notice that if you manage to heal the barrier enough and he is the last mob standing, he automatically dies after a few minutes, I don't know if it's meant to be, but suddenly he is demolished by the game itself.

Yeah im not sure the specifics, but it seems after a while it kills any stuck enemy. Sometimes this includes bosses, other times not. Ive had many times ive had to put an earth shatter against the barrier to get them lol. Maybe a time limit also? idk. You could try only ONE of you take him each time, you may find the one of you is causing the issue, maybe a certain group of mod clashes or idk. Trying one player each time, might crack the mystery lol. Let me know if you find something, im interested. :)

I played a match a while ago, Drakenlord appeared in the lane I was taking care of, I managed to take his shield down easily as soon as he went thru the spawn gate, and killed him after a stunlock combo. But we replayed the map, and Drakenlord appeared in my lane again, but now, one of my partners came to aid. He had a staff with storm damage I assume because of the shock on the mobs, and I did the same as the previous map, but this time he did not drop the shield, so I don't know if I am wrong or not, but it might be an issue mixing up the shock from storm damage and fire I guess....

Hm, well hopefully the shard "Burning Strikes" from C5 will fix that for you if you put it on a weapon. I have it on my Monk, specifically for that boss lol.
