"Lazy Wisp" boss fight seems impossible

[shornbuck]

Hello,

I am battling the Lazy Wisp boss on the Shattered floor. The boss seems impossible. It is resistant to everything and can barely be damaged.

Can you get your guys back before the fight? Does anyone have any hints for this fight?

Thanks in advance.

Miniature spoiler (kinda, but not really) but yes you don't have to fight the wisp with just Kaela, but the ability to do so hinges on the trials that you're enduring at that point.

Are you doing this fight with just one person? That is very brave :)

Yes - you can (and should) do it with the whole party. It is a difficult fight - key to it is stripping his armor or resistances - and timing his "immune" phase well. But the reward is truly worthy - a unique weapon, one of the kind.

Lazy Wisp kicked the crap out of me several times; well done on designing that fight, as it reminds me of learning heroic and mythic raid boss strategies in WoW :)

Where is it? Secret part of shattered floor?

How do you counter its drain hp attack on epic ? It just does so much damage...

Edit : Found out that the enchant "mantle immunity" for chest armor significantly reduces the damage from drain hp. Equipped everyone with that and the fight went a lot easier.

You cant tank his life drain, so dont tank it.

It can be done, just need to be creative. There are some obstacles on battlefield.

If this fight seems hard wati till you get to lvl 8-9 of tower.

Just summon Whisper's tower, so it iniate life drain, then u have probably 20 sec to attack, then try to kite Wisp with Kane around one of the obstacles, so Wisp cant see you. If Kane get lifedrain, try to use any kind of saving, heal and command aura. Then when you tower cd is over, initiate fight again. U can use any kind of summons (treants or mechanical bots).
I used earth dmg tactics, keeping debuffing with Aeric's curse till Wisp got negative earth resistance, before that just kited with Kane around one of the obstacles. During second stage you can just nuke till 3rd as Wisp just use Mana Drain. At 3rd stage, Wisp will rotate mana and life drain, so be careful.

Killed it on epic

Apart from the ludicrous amount of hp drained and being multi targeted, It's kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fight because...

1) boss starts draining without warning
2) can't be interrupted by any of Kane's skills.
Also, If I recall correctly, skill damage is greatly reduced in this combat scenario, as if wisp's resistances and armour weren't enough -_-

Obstacles won't stop wisp's drain, if it latches on any character, it stays for its whole duration.

[Jackdaw Mask]

Uh, which were all the skills able to strip resistances? <_< But yeaaah, this seems to be enough of painful encounter that I might just wait until I have 15 level characters. I'll give it few more tries first though of course

Equip the mantle of immunity chest enchant on all your 4 party members, the drain goes from 96hp/s to 24hp/s, you can outheal it easy this way.

Won the fight on epic with Kane,Maeve,Aeric,Whisper. Start the fight with Kane near a wall and the rest behind the wall but in a "peeking" position. Wisp goes drain on Kane, use dash to hide behind the wall so that the drain "line" breaks, then have all 4 characters attack it. When small wisps are summoned, use whisper aoe skills so they die fast. When the Wisp uses drain hp again on all members, use dash on kane again like before to hide behind the wall, and the rest should walk/teleport etc behind the wall to break the drain line : they will still take damage after the line breaks, but with the chest enchant I mentioned above the damage is reduced significantly and can be easily healed with Kane's party heal or Aeric's totem.

Rinse and repeat the steps above and the fight becomes easy.

You can also kite the wisp to death, for instance with Whisper alone. It works well, but it require good timing.

Here is wisp on epic difficulty.
P.S. Kane was not prepared..
