Ixion discussion thread

[Dohorehn]

the shot above looks like a bull fight lol

[Crysius]

Saturady night our LS was able to break his horn. We only broke it once during the fight, and it came back within a few minutes. We were setting up WS's from the front of Ixion when he lowered his head. From my understanding, I thought a critical hit from the front was needed while he was charging his horn for a TP move. Again, unfortunately we only broke it once. Would need more testing to see if this works. Next time we were thinking of using a thf/sam in order to keep Assassin WS'ing from the front when head is down.

It will be awesome if they make him a avatar XP

That's what we were trying in Nikirs screenie above, when it did break, there was only one crit in the log, was Ishiyamas, you can see where he was stood. Hoping we can try to duplicate it, because when we'd broken his horn he became a VERY Squishy pony. Being able to melee full-time without being hit by Rampant Stance and Acheron Kick, without the damage reduction from having a Horn was just <3 Within the 2 minutes or so it was broken, we took Ixion down by 10%HP or so.

[Crysius]

Yeah, same effect for us. Stopped all TP moves while horn was broken, and dmg increased significantly.

need to abuse a DD for science to see if that is indeed correct

[Xarius]

since there is a maintenance, and i don't feel like rummaging through all pages of this...wanted to double check, is it 100% confirmed that Ixion will not reset with maintenance?

[Bossma]

Did ixion pop in any server yet after maintenance?

[jinkazama]

not valefor

[Xarius]

has it popped on any other server that it wasn't already due for?

[thetruepandagod]

no pop on sylph and it was due to force pop before the maint

[Alistaire]

Anyone ever get paralyze to proc on this guy? I've had it land a few times, even did eseal para2 near the end of a fight once, not a single proc ever. And that eseal para2 lasted less than a minute. I know my MND setup isn't the best by far but it's gotten to the point that it seems he's just immune to it even though the spell itself can land once in a while.

[zagex]

After landing para2 once, it didn't proc, so I stopped trying to land it.

[Capo]

anyone have a solid theory on breaking the horn yet? our drks need better epeen shots

"Heavy melee damage from the front" is the way I think it's worded in this thread. What's that got to do with better epeen shots though? It just shows the hp bar, you still get #s from your damage without it gone.

Someone somewhere, because one of our members keeps trying to somehow find a way to break the horn on a regular basis, said something about landing a critical attack from the front while its head is down.

We at this time cannot discount it because our fight yesterday, the THF wasn't able to get a crit to land without Ixion turning, lol. :D

[Xrave]

The crit with the head down doesn't seem to be the way to do it. We had a Ridill WAR 2hr it from the front yesterday and went the full minute with any horn breakage (and yes the head went down a few times).

Slightly to the side?

Don't you have to be kind of lined up so you're facing the Imp horn, Qutrub weapon, etc?

You don't, it's like that running through the goblin will make their bomb drop kinda shit. Breaking his horn speeds the fight up but any good LS would be able to kill ixion before the horn comes off. Only time I saw horn break was from a 3hour fight.

I actually like to try and stand in front of the gobs arm as they ready the toss, just likely to be placebo effect, but it sure seems to work a lot.
