Walkthrough
Korshek's group includes several Roaring Ethers and at least one other Djinn. There are also up to three satellite groups, each consisting of more Djinn and Roaring Ethers. In hard mode, Ruby Djinn can hit very hard with Liquid Flame (over 200 damage) and Korshek follows with Searing Flames which can deal over 250 damage against 60 armor rating characters. This means, even with no death penalty, the entire party can be wiped in two to three hits, as these are AoE attacks. If the world has favor of the Gods, consider getting the Shielding Branches blessing from the Melandru's Watcher outside of Tihark Orchard to reduce the damage caused by Korshek and Ruby Djinn.

Skill recommendations

 * Consider bringing skills that interrupt or inflict Dazed.
 * Bringing the nature ritual Winter converts all elemental damage to cold damage, which deals more damage to Ruby Djinns.
 * In order to counter Searing Flames it is advisable to use Frigid Armor: Searing Flames has no effect if you cannot be set on fire.
 * Mesmers can use Signet of Humility and/or Diversion to disable Searing Flames.
 * Elementalists can bring Ward Against Elements or Ward Against Harm to reduce the damage.
 * Frozen Soil to prevent Roaring Ethers from using their Resurrection Signet might be considered.
 * With Pain Inverter and Spoil Victor, Korshek will kill himself quickly.
 * Avoid skills that exploit corpses or inflict Bleeding, Disease, and Poison, since the elementals, except Roaring Ethers, are not fleshy.
 * Consider using Extinguish and Breath of the Great Dwarf to quickly remove Burning.
