Attunement Quest (Air)

[Cap'nDrak]

Just thought I'd share this, in case anyone is interested. I'm trying to reset from Air attunement and this elemental is seriously painful. Here's a couple snipits that you should look for...
It's killed me twice within a minute of entering.

You are struck by a forceful blast of wind!

The blast of wind knocks you to the ground!

... 25 points of damage!
Strong blow to your right arm breaks it!
You are stunned for 3 rounds!
Roundtime: 4 sec.

An unstable large air elemental unleashes a bolt of churning air at you!
AS: +297 vs DS: +253 with AvD: +52 + d100 roll: +94 = +190
... and hits for 62 points of damage!
Chest strike. Knocked back and stunned!
An unstable large air elemental unleashes a bolt of churning air at you!
AS: +297 vs DS: +252 with AvD: +52 + d100 roll: +98 = +195
... and hits for 74 points of damage!
Chest strike. You are knocked down and stunned!
Your SIGN OF SWORDS is no longer effective.


There is another maneuver that is rather like Call Wind, except it never fails to stance you up and stacks a stupid amount of round time. I haven't been able to stun it, e-wave it, tremors it, or much of anything. I'm assuming it's because they're constructs. Any one got any suggestions?

[hello]

your sig is disturbing...

Double cast 512 and it can't do anything to you then kill it with earth and ice spells.

[Cap'nDrak]

Gave it a shot, didn't work. They shrug it off on their next action. Gotta love it... This is a real pain....

[Winter]

You're going to have to 515 as soon as you enter and rapid fire it to death. If they're shrugging 512 off on their next action it usually means you got a low roll.

I just went through the same crap against an air elemental that also tore me a new asshole (including several instakill crits directly after entering). After reading that these were vulnerable to cold eventually RNG was kind enough to let me get off a few casts of 907 to slow it down and kill it.

I was surprised by how easy it was for me to kill the air elemental when I did the quest, but it might just be because my wizard is a warmage. I just stabbed the elemental with my lance a few times and that was that.

Might be helpful to use supercharger/luck/enhancive boosts.

The only difficult part for me was finding the soulstone for the quest. Took me about a month, but Fleurs was able to make me one eventually.
