Died 20 times on The Archmage Accosted

[Deleted]

WTF is this shit! The top apprentice keeps one-shotting me and stun/interrupt doesn't work and the hit box of the spheres seem inconsistent! Can't even group due to fucking phasing

That was a weird quest for me, for some reason all the apprentices were neutral and I just climbed up the tower without having to attack anyone. :P

Demon hunters are no longer eligible for artifact weapons, because they were not prepared.

My sides...

OT: Keep trying young Padawan. Just be glad it isn't the solo-quest you had to do as an Elemental Shaman for the Legendary Staff in Cata. >_>;

adam86shadow: I completely agree with you. This is a terribly designed quest that apparently plays out differently for different players. I have a Frost DK at 110 who can not complete this quest because he can not burn down the last Archmage before the Archmage casts Barrage Shadow for 2,785,590 shadow damage. My Frost DK's health is only something like 2570K. I tried the tips listed on Youtube but they show the player going right to the last Mage without any damage and burning him down without any problems. I have died at least 100 times be it Frost, Blood, or Unholy. Still no go. The only advice the Game Master said was to watch the Utube videos and try again. And that the quest was working as designed. IMHO this is the worst designed quest ever for what its purpose is.

Not really supposed to burn him down before this happens. Just dodge the shadows. It's not easy, but it's definitely doable even for a class that doesn't have much mobility.

You can LOS the cast in the room... there is an alcove where you won't get hit at all.

[Rafe]

Just go down the stairs a bit, the shadows will go over you and wont deal damage.

Gear up first? I assume you did it on a newly dinged alt, which makes it harder because you are meant to be at least around 840 maybe.

Holy necro! By the way, legend says that OP still didn't beat Archmage Accosted and is stuck in AP limbo.
