Troll in pass

This troll stuns WAAAY too much.

Stomp stuns
Punch stuns
Throw rock stuns
Kick stuns

Is there anything he does that DOESN'T stun you? To add insult to injury, (like EVERYTHING ELSE in this game) he's ranged (of course) so when you aren't stunned, you have to chase him around.

Worse yet, since it's an over-world encounter, so for some reason I don't understand, you can't bring party members into it.

 

you should try jumping when he attacks......

Tiina:
Myself and a friend often go there and "roll some trolls" - we are party'd when we do it.
As soon as the troll takes one of you in, just wait till your friend "lands" in the scene and then just click on his/her shield on the overworld.
Oh, and I agree with the stun issue, btw...

 

Yup, everything in this game stuns way too much

Any Dragon:
- 360° tail swipe = stun/knockdown (jump to avoid)
- some form of head attack = stun/knockdown (jump doesn't work)
- wing attack = stun/knockdown (jump doesn't work)

Daemon:
- keeps jumping into the air like mad, on landing = stun stun and stun (jump to avoid, but it is really annoying)


Equipping shield + shield passive resist stun + shield stun resist buff helps somewhat if you level everything to atleast 80.
But you still get stunned a lot, so meh, not really worth it.


2h skellies:
- surprisingly almost always stun me no matter how high my resist stun is


So yeah, "stun" is just everywhere ...

 

And the "counters" we currently have are most often a joke.......

 

As a melee living in Aldhaven, I use that pass all the time. The best way to get them for me is to stay behind them and then jump when they do their jump attack. If you are in the air when it lands, it doesn't hit you. You might be able to do the same thing as a ranged character but I haven't tried it.

 

I don't mind stuns because there's a chance to get out of it by jumping. It's the knockdowns that I don't like because, being a light armor wearer, there's no counter to it. You just have to lay there and take it.

 

Some of what I'm calling "stun" is really "knockdown" which jumping doesn't avoid. Jumping continually means I can't use any abilities either.

 

There is only a single knockdown you can't avoid with the troll and that is the boulder toss. Every single other ability he uses, he actually pauses facing a direction (or you jump when he jumps) and are able to navigate around behind him. If you're going to stand and deliver against the troll that outweigh's you 10:1... yea he's going to knock your ass silly.

 

Depends. With the damn stuttering you often CAN'T jump, combine with missing it just once is often followed by being completely stun-locked.

 

Sorry to hear that. I don't have that problem =\

 

Why not ?
I mean, what is Tiina missing ?
She's describing what's typical.... (We all know how to jump.)

 

I mostly like how trolls work. It is pretty lame that their rock attack will still go off and hit you even if they are stunned and you are standing behind them. Also lame that rocks still knock you down even if you take cover.

 

the trolls in general are a pain - but they are supposed to be.. I wondered whether LiL could take one, I died first time and second time.. he had 80hp left.. and..



LiL has 418hp ....

but you know what, this weekend that troll is dying.. LiL will do it.

 

I don't know. I don't have the stuttering problem Tiina's talking about. I'll get hitching but it doesn't last long enough to stop me from jumping =\.

 

Btw LiL killed the troll 5 times today before the think pink event

 

I guess Tiina meant the hitching.
And hitching indeed, sometimes atleast, causes your keyboard input and mouse click events to not being recognized by the client/server.
Sometimes i have to spam my stuff on the keyboard and clicks on the mouse to do things at the right time...

The hitching gets worse the longer you play, the more often you switch zones etc.

 

You can jump out of knockdowns as well... hitting jump makes you get up faster.

 

Once you learn his patterns, he's pretty easy to kill. I usually start soloing them at around level 55. Love the gems.

 

I thought the troll in the path was for people that are not strong enough to go into a control point? Whats the point of the troll there anyways??? Might as well make it a control point if hes going to be that powerful. The counter to the troll is to teleport to someone on your friends list that is on the other side! When your low level.
