Grotto normal boss 4

Has anyone done this boss on normal? It seems like the only way is to wait until you outgear the instance enough to burn it down in less than 10 seconds. With people stacked, tornado amplifies and everyone dies almost instantly. With people spaced a bit apart, AoE heals can't hit everyone and single target heal is too slow to keep up with 4 people taking 25% damage even with DPS and healers not using any HP buffs. :blackeye:

I've done it on normal mode, but only after outgearing the boss.

In theory the strat should be to ony have 4 people in melee range, spaced out around the boss. One of whom should be a healer so group heals hit those close to the boss and those far away. the others at a distance should be ranged dps. Haven't really given this good try, but any strat attempts will rely heavily on your healer -- or maybe healerS because you might want more than one.

If you survive long enough, eventually the boss goes orange/yellow immune (like how Krynor starts in Bethomia), and casts a skill. You can serestum this skill but should you fail you get 1 shot. I currently know of no way to survive that skill other then serenstum.

Speaking of serenstum, it does NOT work on the waternadoes.

the water tornadoes are PHYSICAL immune

using candy might be the only way to give you a tad more time if he cannot be burn'd

but that being said.. if you phys immune the nadoes you are in trouble if he isn't dead by the time he goes immune

Dug this video up -- its hardmode so the strat is same but we failed to burn it. Perhaps you can use this for some kind of reference. People did die, they are just hidden by the char window open

So people who stand at the doorway always gets the tornado? Or people on the left of the boss gets tornados? If its on the left, that seems to make it easier since having all ranged stand on the left makes it much easier for melee. If its on doorway, might be more problematic since on normal with only 6 people, doesn't that leave you with 1 tank 1 healer only 1 DPS on the boss? >_>

Hoping to try physical immune next time, we were trying to magic immune the water tornado without success lol, and we always got him down to like 10% or so. We have 4 melee DPS in that group, so it was a bit problematic, so perhaps less R/M next time lol. Looking to try with 2 healers as well. We did boss 1-3 with 2 healers and it seems a lot easier, especially on second and third boss with the big AoE's. but then one of our healer's computer blew up or something lol.

So if you do the strat 2 healers + lowest dps at door in swap gear only 4 people in the party take any damage so the only person who might immune is tank cause he can't heal him self, like if the party dps was very very low tank might have to phirus pot and while that is in CD pop physical immune to not take dmg from white hits then pop another phirus. Other than protecting white hits immunes do nothing in this fight. If anyone on right side but the tank is taking damage it means that healer on left side failed died and now someone on right side has tornados.
