    you shouldn't expense Ad ,you could do it as you were :) .And you still can.As an IV.

    Just be cautious.And we SMs aswell one wrong timing and we are going poof.

    But you need better timing than us.See it as a challenge.

    i forgot to write before,that a healadin would be better suit for your party than a DC.

    more healing and he can use bane 3 stacks immediately.-30% Dmg.
    while Dc needs to position himself.

    i just plan my strategy be around epic earth archon, he can be mine immunity frames, hope it will work.

    as i said, i almost made it at one of my first trying so i know its not impossible, but i dont want to ruin my parties on bad day. and more you cant get high dps party everytime, so be a true leader like at other dungeons is something i am looking for i can achieve

    My comments are very similar to hyper's

    always go in with full AP - you can use the spheres in the hallway before the final boss to refill (well you can as an IV anyway, im pretty sure Conq can too)

    I always run with

    Shield Talent and Guarded assault - the second is ultra important as it synergises with FR to refill health
    FR and VM for dailies
    ITF, KV and then either CS or LS - I used LS if its laggy and I'm not confident I can get CS in without dropping my shield for too long
    at wills are Tide of iron and threatening rush - I can't see any value in cleave for the final boss


    start off by marking and then use lunging or threatening to get in there and then block is up and aggro strike. You could also pop FR before you go in to start off

    then its just one counter between his attacks, making sure shield gets back up in time - preference being ITF and then FR if FR was popped before the fight starts. Use Tide of Iron to debuff and fill your stamina

    need to make sure your aggravating strike doesn't go into an additional attack when you are trying to counter, if im having problems with that I don't hold my mouse down only tap it so I know I'll do one AS and have time for my "counter" encounter. Cancel out your animations, always. better to cancel the attack than not get your shield up.

    lunging strike is a good attack, fast animation works well with FR to replenish health

    atm Orcus on my IV is my favourite part of the game
