Ranger Archers and Rank 10 on Guardian of Sunfist

[zhelas]

At 56 trains I assume the best strategy is to spell up to the nines, have healing herbs and hope for the best?

Died twice. Can't hurt these blasted creatures with my spells. I run from the Clerics and Healers. Wait for the right type of creature to show up?

This task is a pain in the arse.

Peace

Never mind finally got a warmage and he got owned

Leave the arena if you get anything that casts. If you get a rogue, warrior or paladin, go defensive, rub haste imbeds and wait it out.

Man, grimswarm wizards are so laughably easy compared to any other type.

I was pissed when i found out you could kill them =P.

I got a warrior with a lance and just went outside, smoked, got something to drink, etc. I woulda just killed the warmage i got first if I knew you could though =(.

It's not always *that* easy, I took three blue crystaled eye shots at my giant wizard with higher endrolls than the one posted and crit reduction didn't get me the kill.

No shame in waiting those bastards out.

[Bhuryn]

But instead waiting for 5 minutes, blackening my lungs, etc. I could just also just swung at the warrior. I imagine I could have killed him in well under 5 minutes.

I smoke after every hunt. Fucking gemstone.

It doesn't look like his had wizard shield on. They're a pain if they spawn with it up. I usually wait them out, leave, or try to get them after sweeping them. Though obviously with that arena task, you don't have the same range of options. Also, you were dealing with a giant (the most crit reduction) where he had an orc (the least crit reduction).

I guess my experience is with a rogue sniper but it's applicable enough to what has been said.
