How to Solo Torc'Dawl the Broken - VIDEO with Commentary

This is a video I made about one of the methods I use to kill Torc'Dawl the Broken. Hope you enjoy!

 

Jobe you make wonderful videos, so well done as always. I really enjoyed the video. Although I do love to kill him in groups, for solo people this gives hope.

 

Great video @Jobe , thank you fo posting that pvp vid a while back i have been spending some time in game and even though grindy am enjoying myself. Awesome he can be soloed, but i hope they find a way to make Multi player make you work in groups no dragon or troll for that matter should be soloable even if its just buffins hps resistences etc when in multi player for the high end mobs. Anyway last week or so i have found myself up until 2-3am grind exp on several occasions, thats one thing i would like to say thanks alot for, though im truly not thankful for that bit.

 

@majoria70 I totally agree that it's much funner in a group and thanks! Hey @Korim Rackham glad you are having fun with the game, it's come along ways! Yeah the big bosses should require a group of people and most do. Thanks @Korim Rackham and holler anytime!

 

We should get a How To section and we can vote up the ones we want stickied.

 

Even though this is well done and kool

all it is, is showing how poorly the game has been introduced, since persistence.

Yes there are things a single players should never be able to kill (not story line so do not give me that excuse).

And what is eve sadder is the fact that the Jumping while he stomped was already shown to circumvent his damage and must have been to hard to fix. There is just too much that is so hard to fix that all this "New" stuff is just more of an insult.

 

Yes, great work and nice video. (What do you use to capture?)

But it shows a basic AI implementation. Find the trick and use it. Games have fought this problem for years. I hope they find the time to make the AI interesting and smarter.

 

Good video! I was hoping you would use Trogdor music for the fight

Spoiler

 

Thanks @Roycestein Kaelstrom! @GreyMouser Skye I use OBS Studio to record to disk and also use it to stream to twitch and thanks!

 

Good video, don't know how you manage to keep mana, having to jump so much while fighting even just the troll at nightshade pass drains my mana away like crazy.

Could you go into more detail about this please? I don't understand what you are saying.

 

Hey @Jordizzle thanks man. I keep my focus level up using a combination of my Dragon Stew which gives me +5 focus regen and also being sure to stack abilities before casting. Stacking not only decreases the focus cost while increasing ability effects but it also makes sure I'm not spamming my abilities all the time.

 

Two things.

1 - Your voice is sexy as hell. And i say that as a straight male. *whistle*

2- Great vid, simple and to the point, and altho ive never done this troll myself ( i was under impression he was MUCH harder then that) , but you insipired me to go kill it with basically the same technique.
That being said.. man that looks broken.

 

Sorry man but that is the exact mechanic of the boss. You jump to avoid the ground that would shake to knock you down. Jobe's adventure level deserve respect for he almost puts in full time job of gameplay. This would certainly make him the man, which he is.

Many bosses have counter able and very different mechanics. I believe this is good to switch up how to handle different types of things. I do know Jobe cannot solo everything in the game and there are much more beneficial things to farm solo IF he could do it.

 

hahahaha
Jobe, i took it to 500 solo on 2nd try.. before he got me.
Guildy showed up (Andar) and we duo'ed it so easily.

Once the timing is down, damn that thing is easy. ( My only prob is i wasnt running immo lol )
dissapointingly easy, just like the phoenix hahahahah

 

Great voice, great explanations, great video! Thank you for making it!

 

Thanks @MrBlight!

 

Thanks @Kara Brae !!

 

Thanks @valor good lookin out playa!

 

I am fully in support of Jobe and his skills -

Simple point that this stomp should neo be defeated by simply jumping up in the air - simple eazy fix is have the EQ affect from his stomp last 2 seconds - wala jump is defensive but not totally mitigating, but what do I know I am just a peon who see a weak mechanic and an eazy fix.

 

Still would be easy to duo even if the stomps hit as you suggest. MisterBlight an archer with light armor was hit many times while attacking Torc'Dawl when I was there. I had no problem whatsoever standing at max range away from the stomp entirely and healing him through it. I did not have to jump at all and avoided any attacks. I'm not complaining though I completely enjoy duoing bosses with an archer tank lol.
