Talk:Korshek the Immolated (Zaishen quest)

Winter?

"Another good skill to bring is a Ranger's Winter, as this converts all elemental damage to cold damage, something a fire elemental would hate." How exactly would that happen? Afaik, neither Korshek nor the Ruby Djinn use skills that trigger on fire damage (like mark of rodgort) so how is 200+ cold damage better than 200+ fire damage then?--Fuu no Ki 08:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh nvm, figured it out myself :D. (For others that would be wondering: the flame djinns have an inherent weakness to cold damage, so winter would increase your own elemental attacks)--Fuu no Ki 08:58, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Figured it was something like that, but "this is something a fire elemental would hate" imo isn't perhaps the best way to put it. 82.13.35.113 09:21, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I reworded that bit of the sentence for clarification. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 09:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

This guy's glowing gaze did ~200 damage to me... Still managed to kill him but damn man! Roflmaomgz 11:24, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Recommended technique

I did it with an Earth Ele and 3 mesmer heroes (one of tbem, my olias turned into mesmer with just 12 of domination magic but it worked very well)alongside a ranger full of interrupts and frozen soil, 2 monks with Extinguish and a Restoration Rt.

What makes it really complicated is not the boss itself, but the roaring ethers. I targeted each of my mesmers into each of them equiped specially with long casting time hexes, 2 or 3 interrupts, the signet and energy surge, burn and wastrel worry.

The boss was killed quite fast just with my acolyte jin interrupting and my build of earth. Bringing the wards against elements and harm is quite useless since for the first, most of the damage dosnt come from the boss actually when hes successfully interrupted and blinded, and for the second is necessary a good water magic build - and it does no significant damage at all on this case, water magic is a shit anyway, not really reccomended to bring a build to cause cold damage.

For my earth building i brought eartquake, shockwave, crystal wave and magnetic surge. using archane echo to duplicate the elite ocassioantes lots of damage in few time, specially with a set of 20/20 weapons. but you can also duplicate eartquake for example and makes wonderfull successions of knock down that give u time to kill faster. I bring also the signet of lesser energy and earth attunement, didnt have real problems with energy for the build. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.102.212.15 (talk • contribs) at 11:59, 8 July 2012 (UTC).

"most of the damage dosnt come from the boss actually when hes successfully interrupted and blinded". What's the point of blinding Korshek the Immolated? --Silver Edge 21:06, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry lapsus, i meant weakened, I was confusing conditions from Shockwave. Btw, i always use Crystal Wave before Shockwave or mostly to finish the foes like on this case.
