Minister Lascivius (elite heroics)

[Lita]

Yes people vent,moan and groan about things its called human nature, i have read this thread as i was interested in what type solution's people come up with to try to beat Lascivious?
Yes i am one of the very many stuck on him,but only started him a few days ago so no prob,s.
It is easy to say things, or appear to talk down to people, when a person has full LB gear or much more, and are well past a problem that is causing other a bigger problem since the patch came into effect.
so i urge you all to think, if you have done Lascivious pre patch,to think of you selves as being kind of lucky yes i did say it Lucky!
because if you were to try and attempt him now! with our lvl's and gear and power, you would be going through the same things too.
So try not to judge, try offering some solutions, formations that worked for you, or that worked for other peeps

if you can't beat him, build more power.

Just keep on increasing your damage output, and your health points.

Defense doesn't do crud in heroic realm.

In time, you'll deal enough damage to Minister to kill him before he kills all your toons.

i have took your advice and grown about 2 million power just in hp and attack damage,but my % is still the same,it seems like as i get stronger the boss does aswell X(

People with your mindset of 'hey I gained 2mil power I should kill the boss now.'
Listen to what people have been saying for months, power means nothing. If your going to gain hp then gain enough to survive 1 more hit, regardless of the power gain until you survive that extra hit then all your gains are meaningless.

The forums sure has fallen from grace, turning into a vent-fest, instead of people sharing ideas and techniques.

and who is off topic now? maybe you should not try to force closings of certain threads by purposefully placed off topic posts. that is something that should give you a personal warning.


other than that lascivius is finally beaten on our sever by myself, the next day i tried ingris and beat him on the 3rd try and a couple days later i also defeated mud giant. now here is the problem: there is not more than 4 players that have beaten lascivius yet, ingris is beaten one other player than myself and so far the only one defeated mud golem. the widow is a real pain to beat, there is another perfect example of having to stun a boss in heroics and shayd fails to stun 9/10 times.

my form i finally beat lascivius with AFTER the patch:
--- adam main (in tank form)
--- --- rhize (top DD with highest spirit, highest weapon, etc)
--- shayd blood

tactic: kill the 2 minions in center row and the hellhound on bottom in the first round or at latest 2nd round, stun lascivius with shayd and finish off with blood.


please note: the server is one of the younger ones, at the time we had no subs yet and not many of the new heroes where developed enough to make a difference. cianna pre-patch used to be the key and after patch 100% useless.

Thanks Kaisim, your formation was the difference. Beat the Minister after almost 4 weeks of hard trying. Tried every formation, but never thought of isolating Rhize. I went from 11 million power to 15 million power during those 4 weeks and it didn't seem to make a difference, couldn't get over 70% damage. I had Adamanti and Bloodstorm before the patch so am one of the lucky ones. Most of the Guild I am in will not get Blood for weeks, so I don't know how they are going to beat the Minister. Even with the change in formation and reaching level 80 with all the additional rune slots it still seems that I need at least one stun from Shayd to beat him. I think that gving Blood a high level Messiness seemed to help also, he has stood toe to toe with the Minister for 5 or 6 rounds and survived, not often but enough times.

I beat Ingris the same night, but have stopped dead at the mud golem. I find I do not have the will to work hard on him now, I am burnt out from the Minister. I give the golem a couple of shots and then get out of HR.

This is what did it for my daughter

0 - 0 - Sha
Blood - Main - Adam
0 - Calvin - 0

It happens to be her Banish formation and she tried to beat nim right after Cerb and she forgot to change it.

i didnt use calvin on purpose on this boss because of the low damage output compared to a real DD. a strong DD like lancelot or bloodstorm for example can kill that hellhound in 2 hits or 1 crit (with strong gear) and calvin just seems like a waste of time since lascivius is a mage and doesnt build up morale.



PS to andy specific: instead of calvin you could try with this set up to replace calvin with lancelot or queen penthesilea (thx tynon team for not naming her maya or sarah, it would have made it too easy for us) and more than double your damage output so the hellhound never even gets to build up full morale. at the end in your particular setup it all comes down to shayd stunning the dwark mark(s)man and killing him in time to stun the boss for the final rounds. if your daughter tries again and fails too much, you could try to place adam in the first row with shayd so he can help finish off the marksman and his AOE should still assist in killing the center row...

wow 3 hours. talk about such dedication!

well, what I normally see. you need blood adamanti in your formation. and yes, stunning is the key to victory. still, you really need to Build more power. what power did you beat him @ Davina?
