It’s time for Blizzard to drop (or at least nerf to the ground) the stupid Frost/Physical mechanic on the AQ40 Viscidus fight.
This boss has TWO items needed by Paladins for the Avenger’s Battlegear set, and yet the mechanic makes it stupidly hard for a Paladin to get past.
The “hit it enough times with Frost” is easy enough. Get some vendor weapon, enchant with Elemental Force, and even though it’s slow you’ll freeze it soon enough.
HOW, then do I hit it enough times physically to shatter it once frozen? I used to be able to use a simple Knightly Longsword 1H weapon with speed of 1.50 … but all 1H swords seem to have been normalised back to 2.60 speed. Even my fists aren’t quick enough.
The one boss that drops two things I need for the Avenger’s Battlegear set and it’s the one boss that has a stupid mechanic like this!!?? How about the physical hits are accumulative across freezings? Might take longer but at least you’ll get there.
I have a sneaking suspicion they won’t because there’s a vanilla enchant you can put on a level 1 stat-stick to beat him to death with. Yeah, though, I’m down to remove the mechanic altogether, legacy content shouldn’t be difficult.
Yeah, like I said however, I got a simple weapon to enchant to do Frost damage. So I can freeze the bugger. It’s then doing enough physical hits before he unfreezes that seems to now be impossible. All the “fast” weapons are no longer fast.
As you said, a classic boss should in no way be a road block.
I got the Crate of Stolen Puppies trinket. After hes frozen you pop the trinket and the dogs attack very quickly.

Do you have the Headless Horseman sword?
That one summons adds that will help you attack it fast enough.
Pop BL too.
It’s the way i’ve done it in the past.
But yes… they should remove/nerf the mechanic. There’s no point to it now.
