I cant pull the sunken crew to the front! what's going on?

[Hamster?????]

I was using a blighting party consisting of PD GR OCC MAA in the following order, using the OCC with a pull of 130%.. I spent the entire battle trying to pull the sunken crew but he resisted everytime until I had to retreat and abandon my MAA because he outhealed by blight.

The sunken crew has a move resist of 120%, I dont see why he could resist move. Should I try the same tactic again with a higher move chance and if so, how much move percent do I need?

or should I try to get some virtuous trinket and use that instead?

He was resisting it because you only had a 10% chance of success. If you want to try that tactic, use a plague doc or bounty hunter to shuffle them for more chances.

I see, alright thanks ill try to stack up more move chance

If you really want to make Drowned crew easy, though, just take a leper in your front position (Virtue chance-buffing trinket optional). Let him get stressed out until you get a virtuous resolve (Using Withstand to stress heal when necessary) and then steamroll the Drowned crew, since a virtuous hero no-sells the Anchorman's Heave To! attack.

Or a Crusader. That whole boss fight is basically about the stress management.

Or stun the anchor man
With a rank 2 hound master and some Stun trinkets you can easily do so a majoiriy of the time

If you have a Leper in a fight like that, it's for the simple fact he can AoE the front-rank (essentially allowing him to damage both the boss and the extra enemies simultaneously). It is the only worthwhile reason, hence he is a viable option for bosses such as the Crew & Pounder.

Why would you even bother letting them get stressed to that point anyway? You're essentially dedicating trinket slots, positional priority (in a fight where heroes can be shuffled + a hero who really needs to be in P1-2 at ALL TIMES, P1 most of all if you are aiming to have him get anchored), and all the other risks involved >> when you could just hit/kill/stun the damn thing.

Its all good now guys, I already slapped move increasing trinkets to both OCC and BH and called it a day. Thanks for the suggestions

Abomination's Rake attack also does this and without the necessity of having a filthy, worthless Leper (minus the Heave To resistance of course but you can load him with virtue trinkets if you like).
