The Exectioner Boss

[DrDeath]

I am level 15 Mercenary and struggling to kill the executioner, please share tips on quickly dealing with the minions he spawns. I feel if he didn't spawn the minions it would be an easy fight.

i fought him all the way in the bottom left corner and it seems it broke his minion summoning ♥♥♥♥

The minions can make it annoying at low levels, especially if his skill procs stack close together and he calls the big group almost twice in a row.

Positioning so your frag shot punches through as many enemies as possible and using your explosive grenades is probably your best option, assuming you are using a crossbow, but there isn't a 'one-size fits all' solution really.

There are a few ways to deal with them. One being to CC them by slotting the Pinning gem into your shotgun so that it immobolizes them and gives you breathing room. Another is to invest in "Unearth" from the occult tree. It doesn't seem like a big deal. But having those bone constructs keeping stuff occupied while you fire on them can help a lot. It's basically free meat shields.

Stay in the lower area of the arena and don't shoot towards the north, if your bolts hit the spawning mobs they swarm you. The rest of the fight , just dodge big attacks and use Armor breaking and Stunning. The default attack does pretty good with poison/bleed as well. But my favorite was double barrel scattershot with poison/bleed (pick one).

Add Martial Tempo support to crossbow shot.

If you don't have it, get fragmentation rounds. Then add the support skills of Double barrel and Overpower. Congrats, you're now doomslayer, enjoy staggering everything in 2-5 hits and clearing crowds with little to no trouble.

Yeah i'm using crossbow, i am mainly using AP, Incendiary, Fragmentation rounds, i feel that impact grenade would be a better option than frag grenade as i think the timer is to long on the detention

[Clyan]

the answer to everything: dodge

Once you get Galvanized Bolts, or whatever its called, it's even better clear speed than Frag Rounds, but Frag Rounds are still great on 1-3 targets.
