Overtuned. Threw everything I had at him on layer 3, floor 6, with 23 powers doing 4.2k dps and got to only 30% before being basically one shot during only his 3rd stack of damage amplifier. Not even sure how a melee would go against him. Please investigate. Thanks

I have to bump this because it’s ridiculous. I came across this thread after looking on Google for ways to beat this atrocity. Looking on WoWhead only gives me “This boss is impossible” comments. This is clearly overtuned.
I found a very simple Youtube guide on how to beat this boss, the only way. It’s really one of the simpler mechanics ever introduced.
Step 1: Play the right class.
Step 2: 1 shot the boss.
Wasn’t trying to troll quite as hard as that came off with a low level classic druid… Seriously though, yes, overtuned would be the understatement of the century. As a frost mage I’m pretty sure there is no power combo or gear available in the game that makes this possible.
I might do some research on fire or arcane powers, but since the boss has to be killed in under 20 seconds to even approach possible it really does just basically require doing a minimum of 50k dps.
I thought at first interrupting gunk would make a difference, but all that seems to do is prevent the slow, not the damage. Still getting chunked for around 20% of my life at 170 gear score every few seconds, at any distance. Ice barrier and ice block and a healing potion are just not enough. I think my best of 5 attempts was 50% life, and that was successfully getting off the shattered 20x frostbolt crit.
Oh, and lastly the party penalty of what is it 4x-5x enemy health, & a doubled mechanic rate for each party member means that group play cannot solve occasional issues like this. Since if you add in a healer (particularly with this weeks stacking anti healing effects, and double elites casting them, and no crowd control as a mage unless you get lucky…) yeah. The whole balance is really not good on Torghast.
Solo I can sail to boss in my sleep, it just takes time, like 40 minutes if I’m being careful and picking up every possible power. Then the boss is unbeatable.
In a group of 2 it’s a struggle to live to floor 5.
In a group of 3… it was a little better because at least a rogue could CC in here without luck of the draw, but dear god the stalkers vanish every 10 seconds, they aren’t even slightly hard just infuriating because they take the entire floor to kill.
Couldn’t do Maw of the Maw as a fury warrior it could be I suck really bad but I had insanely good power ups.
I had 64% hp from the killing mawrats buff, i had an epic 15% stat one that healed me every second i think it was, then i had 22 other power ups specifically chosen with the end boss in mind. Used the 10k pot as well.
Level 3. 160+ Item level for me.
I got him to 90% hp? i think it was.

There is some warrior combo that there is a video of on Youtube that one shots the boss (well, two, but it’s like chunk chunk dead.) Something to do with shattering throw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvdptuj2wes
Doing some research there doesn’t look to be anything like that for mage. Maybe the invisibility 20x damage as fire, with the rune of power and 30% increased damage pot… maybe… I think you would have to try till it crits though.
Oh yeah that’s an epic hammer throw thing. Yeah I gues if you had that you could do it, lol.
Still it really does seem like this week is “hammer your head against the wall till you get and figure out your classes one shot, 100 deaths, 1000 hours. It’s a legendary people that’s what legendaries should take, hard core!” Or you know, play a paladin, and one shot it without any anima powers.
Never mind all the frost legendaries are boring as hell, or painfully under tuned. 60 frostbolts, really? 60… right. Oh look a percentage more damage on my filler yay! The AOE ice lance is kind of nice, intended for mythic instances… where do you get it… right, the last raid boss that won’t even be unlocked for another month… great.
To be fair, I did almost beat it on the first try with that +30% damage potion. But that was it.
Same situation here. I agree with alot in here that doing this solo seems more viable. Grouping this week on this particular boss may be a one way ticket on the struggle bus.
I am going to try to use the smoke bombs powers thing to see if that helps. At the end of the day this seems to come down to the proper Anima powers and much less class.
Literally a waste of time. Used all my deaths, all my cd’s, decent powers and I still only got him to 10% as a rogue with the HOTFIXED CRIMSON VIAL INSTA CD WOOO. What an absolute joke. Another week of missed Ash, thanks Blizzard!
Literally impossible as a monk btw… typical blizzard “balancing” lol
thank god it took an hour to even get to the boss otherwise i might have actually had fun KEK
