Brynju Thunderclap  

Brynju Thunderclap was the last tower boss I had yet to try. Since this was my first time, I cleared the whole room and fought him on his platform to avoid any chance of getting adds.

My team:
65 Monk 746 AA + DPS Merc
65 Shaman 837 AA + Healer Merc
65 Ranger 85 AA + Tank Merc

The main issue I've had with the tower bosses is the Healer Merc running out of mana. I finally found a way to control that and now the Healer Merc will have 20-80% mana left at the end of a tower boss fight. What I do is pretty simple but it works great.

When I start the fight, I make sure boss is slowed then I put my Healer Merc on Passive. I watch the tank's health and when it reaches around 40%, I put my healer merc back on Efficient and it will immediately cast a Complete Heal. I put the merc back on Passive and repeat this process.

Here's the slightly tricky part, if the boss gets a few good shots on your tank, his HP might get too low by the time the CH is done and the Healer merc will start casting Holy Elixir and Supernal Remedy several times instead. This will drive your healer Merc OOM especially as she will also cast group heals and similar spells to keep the rest of the group up. So what I do is I throw a heal or 2 on the tank with the shaman to keep him above 30% HP or so until the CH lands and then put the healer back on passive. To deal with group damage from AE, rampages etc. I just throw the Shaman's Call of the Ancient ward on the floor which lasts a quite a while and I'll cast a couple of heals here and there to keep everyone up. The highest I could get Call of the Ancient AA at level 65 was rank 5/8 and I think it heals for around 300 HP per tick with some stats increases which is just enough to keep my party up.

These fights have taken about 5-10 minutes for my group. This time, Brynju Thunderclap dropped a spectral parchment, the usual 10-slot ring container and 2 Ornate Chain Tunic patterns.

I was running around with a friend and his dad today. They decided to take out Mr. Thunderclap.

Necro FD pulled and got Mr. Thunderclap to the pit. Then promptly got ate and died on the pull. That left Mr. Ubercleric (15.5k hps and 13.5k mana max aas) and myself (gimp 62 cleric 2 aa's and 5k hps and 5k mana).

I thought I would add hammerpet to the mix. 5 seconds into the fight I was dead also. Who knew he had a ds and would kill me instantly.

So Mr. Ubercleric and Mr. Thundedrclap fought it out. Cleric never once healed himself as VoV did all the work. 10 minutes later I and the necro were rezzed. Got a new hat and secondary for myself.

I am sooo gonna come here once I get up levels and aa's a bit for some payback.

But yes, a cleric can solo him now.

Me, 75 ranger, total anguish geared and 75 bstlord total anguish geared duo'd him, was way overkill, dropped helm and secondary

I got really bored one night so decided to see If I could solo him. Pacied past all the mobs and attacked him on his Platform. As a cleric I dont put out a whole lot of DPS even with DS and Vow Of Valor , but better then average I would say. I fought him for about 15 or 20 mins while keeping any roamers pacied so thay didnt join the fight. He was only down to 85 % . I still had almost 90 mana so I could have taken him down if I wanted to fight him for about an hour + , but was only there to see what he was like one on one so just gated out. I have a few pieces of Time gear , but rest is TSS or lower , think my 1250 AA's was more help then anything. Just thought I would share in case any of you ubber thrill junkies were interested in tough fight .

Hi, yes.... Triton has been in Time for months now... Kludain is an elder Triton member. So if you guys did him with 2 groups instead of 1, you need to spend more time in CB... imho

My guild killed him Sunday night. We had 4 groups His AoE is directional so that made it easy, we pushed him into a corner near his spawn spot with tank being the only one taking the AoE. As far as pulling goes, we had an awesome Ranger/SK tag team and they were able to single pull him through all the adds that were surrounding the arena. Once he was pulled tank pulled him to the corner and we engaged. He turned for a brief second to kill someone then went back to tank and we finished him off. He dropped Wicked Shank, Ornate Chain Tunic, and a Spec. Parchment. Pretty easy fight if done correctly. Clerics were using a 4 second CH chain, and that worked out well.

This one is the easiest of tower named.
Quad+rampage
can be partial slowed
His AoE doesnt procs often like 3-4 times during fight and can be resisted easy.
The only difficult part if to come to him without aggroing Arena mobs through walls.
Pull it and fight in middle arena and its ok :)
Have done it with 4 groupes w/o death

pulled all the adds, killed them (fast spawns)
then pulled him down and tagged into the middle (or around there) just watch the push and youll be fine

Have anybody brave enough to kill him with ONE GROUP?! IT's an exhilirating to get to him. Heard he is suppose to be the easiest tower boss for 3 groups. Might be manage for 2 groups. and quite a challenge for One group. We have tried it one night, We got to him with one group, and the monk in our group was able to SINGLE pulled him. Took him a while but he mangage to do it. We were all huddled up in the middle of the arena, waiting to see what would happend, all of us were tired from fighting 30 to 40 Kriger type giants. They where taking their tolls in my group. But by the time we got him we were exhausted, and "wanted to go home" Unfortunately we do not have a porter with us, so only way out that we could see was Do or Die! Our monk was trying to figure a way to single him, and did a great job --only thing was none of us was prepared for for what happened next. The MONK literly dropped Thunderclap right on top of our head. I got hit so hard and so fast from behind only thing I saw was him standing over my corpse with message --
Loading please wait .....

We hope to try again! With better result next time!!

His AE has a very short range, so usually only the MA will get his by it... if he doesnt resist it =)

Yup saw this guy and god was it a pain in the arse to get there. Repop is amazingly high and the walls around his area let agro from the giants transfer easily.
We got to him eventually but a crap load of giants came from nowhere because as I said the agro jumps through the walls like crazy. Awful awful design on this part of the zone. Whoever make it Id like to give them a big boot up the arse.
