Last Telkine vs. My Warder - Epic

[kennyepic]

The last telkine's one shot is starting to get on my nerves. I have tried throwing on my resist gear (bumps my elemental resists up to ~40%+), but nothing seems to work. It's that one attack that looks like 3 reddish-orange fiery orbs that gets me. My pots can't out heal the dot. Can someone give me a clue as to how they beat him with their warden?

I am level 40, mostly defense specced, 32 points in both masteries, 2.8k hp, 300 energy with BA on, 111% attack speed, ~720 dps with my dps gear which includes some energy leech and about 26% damage -> life conversion. I have a litte under 40% block rate for ~150 damage, and low 500's for combined armor.

The only thing I can think of is maybe it's vitality damage. My vitality resistance is at best -25% right now.

Xaece talked about a shield he found with 50% vitality res. you'll just have to farm until you get it

i suppose you have rally and adrenaline? does the dot out damage that regen+healing pots? otherwhise it might just be a matter of luck to get adrenaline to trigger.

Tactic for this Telkine is:

Run around dodging this attacks (and also the fireball attack that oneshots aswell) and wait till he starts picking up rocks. When he's busy lifting up a rock you will have time to move in and land a few hits. Right before he drops the rock you move away again and start dodging the other attacks. Repeat till he's dead.
It takes a while and it requires dodging skills but it works.

I have a few points in rally and 1 point in adrenaline. I think the odds of getting that shield are better than the odds of me having adrenaline going when I inevitably end up getting smacked with that attack, lol. It's odd, though...I have a ring with 5/5 Epic Demon's Blood on it which says it's giving 21% Vitality Damage Resistance, but my Vitality Resistance (Blue Humanoid on your character's secondary tab) does not change. Are Vitality Damage Resistance and Vitality Resistance two different things? Or maybe it's just a UI bug. Either way that one piece of equipment seems to make no difference in the big picture...probably need another 25-50% VR to be able to see if it's doing any good or not. Time to farm a bit I guess.

His beam attacks are vitality and cold, so get resists for that.

Cool thanks...will try that...I just got lucky and found a Hallowed Alexandrian Helm in a shop! +47% VR

[dangermeister]

U could go online and as some1 to help u... if u still have trouble with him.

[kennyepic]

Just whomped him...took forever and ~50 health pots. 73% cold resist / 43% vitality resist.

What did he drop?

A bunch of crappy yellows. Oh well...at least it might cover those pots.

Edit: Oh and the strat I used was more or less what Jotun posted above.

[Jotun]

Did the resistances actually work against his attacks? Did he not one-hit you with those resistances?

Ive found that if you shield charge as he's picking up the rock he will drop it, so you dont need to dodge it. That gives you a second or 2 to squeeze in a few attacks.
