Had the squad with me here but Ai tactics off and such kinda the best way I was able to deal with these mages
That fight was one of my solo DW rogue tests too, same way with AI turned off. But I had no grenades, which made it impossible. I finally gave up and tried again with Antivan Fire. Battle ended in about 5 minutes!
Never tried antivan fire always use bees will def try it this run
I personally never used grenades on my nm trials runs but they sure look helpful especially early game.
I did use resistance tonics though quite often to reduce some damage at least when wearing pact belts.
And I tried the confuse grenade tactic once against gurd just to see the cheese.
Bottom line they are great to speed up killing stuff given that you really don't want to stealth / scirmisher forever with a rogue or fade step doubt stealth constantly with a mage because that's annoying to kill one promoted Mook over 3+ minutes.
Was also thinking about just using stock bombs and tonics this time to see if it was a bit harder. And lol gurd wow I literally could not beat him with them confusing grenades but there I felt like I cheated I must have died two hours straight on stream lol one of my 3hour long streams was trying to beat him I got lucky with them confusion grenades, can't believe you did it with a necro that is super impressive my friend, my rift Mage got whooped up, I wonder if my assassin can even make it that far
I really wanted to try to solo Gurd with a rift mage without using confusion grenades, but due to my random save purging, the only save I have before the JoH dlc is at level 11. Probably a good thing, since it sounds like it's actually impossible.
Oh I think it is doable but the margin for error is like literally zero, and you would be constantly trying to go back into ring of doubt stealth which helps really, untill those poison archers show up (hello poison dot). And if one of them is promoted and has a bagillion health then it be like "oh ****".
Even with the necro spirit mark strategy I had to repeat that fight like 5 times untill I got it, because spirit mark is so f"uuuu**king buggy, like half of the time the spirit marked creature does nothing and just stands around being stupid. It is also the only fight I went total defense on my masterworks, using fade cloak/ walking fortress on the armor and heal on hit on the staff.
