If you RB on Rankar, his AOEs go from hitting 280s to 2500s. Its happened to me twice now and it is seriously getting irritating.

    Rankar has *two* AOEs. One, the long range one, is arcane, and will hit an arcane wearer such as a cleric, for the low 300s.
    The other is shorter range - and is physical, and yep, it;'ll hit for 2500+

    You got too close, is all.

    Wait, he aoes? Lol, last fb51, we killed him so fast he didnt even aoe once.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Is it really a 2500+ aoe? I mean, even for an arcane that seems a bit high.

    Does fb69 guarnob have a similar AOE setup?

    He sometimes hits me for 2.2k... his other aoe does like 600-700 damage.

    probably more like 1k-1.5k from phys aoe plus the 500 or so from the mag

    also, one of his aoe's does more damage the closer you are to him (can't remember which one)

    Any melee mob or boss that has a mage attack can be interrupted. Some just don't have a channeling effect, watch their animations or count seconds.

    Fat Lion in 2-1 solo used to be like that, then just when I got his AoE timing down, they made him AoE only and now I can't solo him. b:surrender

    There was a level 54 pure arcane cleric next to me, and his life was barely touched... I was 1 shot. I'm sure that wasn't the problem because this only occurs when I RB at the boss.

    Speaking of aoe, the noxtouch poison guy in fb69 seems to have some random aoe too. Killed him a few times with no aoes at all, and sometimes he aoes 2nd/3rd hit.

    For Rankar: AoE occurs after he does his 'Jellyroll Frontflip Stabbums Royale' (LOL jumping frontflip). At least for the long range one. Not sure if it's the same for the second...but I think you only have to worry about that if there are enough melee targets for him to smash in the face, since I've never gotten hit with that one. Dunno if that makes it interrupt-able though...

    For Noxtouch: He pulls a Dismal every so often and poisons the whole group. Not entirely sure...but I think he has an increased channeling debuff one too? Don't quote me on that though. >_<

    Most bosses that have channelled AoE's will do them at around 10 seconds apart along with an animation that's fairly obvious so long as you're watching for it.

    Noxtouch has a small poison DoT that he casts right off the start along with a slowed channeling AoE.

    For Garunob and Pole, the spell is visible at their feet with a red or blue circle that occurs every 10 seconds. Barbs, BM's, and even veno pets with shreik can cancel the aoe easily. Also for any veno's curious, lvl 5 shreik on a pet timed right, will cancel every aoe right at the interval because of the cooldown time.
    (personally tested)

    I don't know if I'm just a cancel-nub or my game lags, but I recently learned all my bm weapon skills including shadowless kick. However, even on bosses like pole and guar, if I wait until the animation and immediately hit the skill button, I carry on punching for 2-3 hits....pause a second.....then use the kick. By which time the animation is well channeled and guar/pole has hurled an aoe into my squad.

    Is this normal or is it pretty much instant for you guys? The channel time on kick is a fraction of a second. I'm starting to learn to count seconds instead now, which works ok if I can time it.

    This is very normal, all physical attacks have a sort of timer and the game tries to round to the nearest whole value before starting the next skill attack.

    The fastest way to get out the silence skill is to hit escape to cancel a current cast, or move and then cast. But if you can keep track, timing it for 10 sec makes it much easier so you can start the skill in advance.

    From my experience you can cancel ANY skill even aoe from any boss/mob.

    fb51 second boss, the fat guy, has a long ranged magical aoe, hurts melee more and magical classes less and close ranged physical aoe that hurts melee little and magical like hell. so watch out if you are a magical class, just stay as far away from him as possible. and yeah his physical might hit an arcane user even in level 80s for 2 - 2.5k so watch out.
