[edit] Notes
- This boss is extremely hard to kill without sufficient damage, it is usually best for the casters to stand in the corner by the stairs to cast.
- Because of Duncans' large amount of health, Spoil Victor is a wise choice to bring when fighting him.
- Having a party member die right next to Duncan allows for the repeated use of Signet of Sorrow, which can be an effective way to kill him.
- While engaging Duncan in combat, a series of sixteen spirits will spawn on either side of him, consisting of Pain, Shadowsong, Recuperation, and Disenchantment. These spirits each respawn quickly after they are destroyed so the use of Swap is extremely helpful.
- Although Duncan has very high damaging spells, they are of no use to him if interrupted. Daze, Knockdown, Arcane Conundrum and various interrupts will make him harmless as long as his spells are being interrupted and the spirits have been swapped away.
- Life stealing skills can be useful as they do not trigger Duncan's Defense.
- Spells like Backfire, Visions of Regret and Pain Inverter are NOT recommended as the damage is still reflected back to you due to his innate ability. It is much easier to disable and interrupt him than deal with his extremely powerful Area of Effect spells that can deal 450+ damage to each person adjacent to the Spirit Rift target.
