Blades Court Instance: Why cant I hit him?

[nimbus2kgold]

<DIV>So 2 nights ago, were in the Blades Court instance, and all is going well.  There were 3 of us, me, MT and healer.  I am always designated climber/barrel blower/name puller.  So I bring him over and were wailing on him, but his health doesnt seem to be moving, and there are no pretty orange numbers floating over his head.  Well, we wiped cause we couldnt kill him before he killed MT.  I thought maybe it was a bugged instance, or bugged mob or something.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So last night we try again.  Healer, MT, and 2 rangers.  Same thing.  Nothing landed, not auto attack ( range and melee ) no poision, no procs, no heat, no pierce, no slash.  I mean NOTHING from either ranger hit him at all.  His health is sloooooooooooooowly creeping down from the damage the pally was doing, but again, he killed us before we could get him down because nothing either ranger did would land.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So my question to you all, is has this happened to you?  Is he bugged? Has this been hashed and re-hashed and I just missed it?  Im really curious, cause doing Zero dps is soooooooo very against my nature and it buggs me to no end.</DIV>

Is he slash/pierce resistant? or immue?

<DIV>Hmm that's definitely odd. :smileyindifferent:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I haven't done the Blades Instance, but I have done the Coin instance..and had no trouble there. Sounds like a bug to me. Did you dmg journal say that stuff was landing but failing to inflict dmg?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I would /bug it and see what the Devs say.</DIV>

This happened to my group as well the first time we tried the instance, though we didnt wipe, our mission just failed. (BTW, when we did it, I saw some poison procs take effect, but pretty much nothing else)</P> <P>Warning: Spoiler follows:</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>When you go in, you need to take down the first barricade and get to the 2nd floor. you then need to clear the barricade there and get your group to the prince to protect him. At this point, you can go pull the caliph down to the group. If you dont get to the prince before you get the caliph, he will not take normal damage.</P> <P>Steadfast 60 Ranger, Toxx</P>

<P>I killed him last night without a problem.  We even got a master chest (first I've ever seen in there) with a master I and a real nice brawler fable dual wield (discovery).  Think it may have just bugged out on you.</P> <P> </P>

<P>That must have been it, because last night we took him with no problem.  I guess i just got a little too efficient and pulling his butt over and did it too fast <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>I knew asking you guys was a good idea... you all so smart ;-P</P> <P>Oh, and a master too.  A really nice warrior two-hander... very sad that there were no warriors in the group.</P>

<DIV>If it's a guild group not a pick up group you can get people into the court that can use it to loot it.  I did that a couple days ago when a group of us trio'd the instance and got a real nice fable brawler dual wield.  Good thing with master chest is they have a 20 minute decay.  So we just screamed on guild chat "Any bruiser / monks with Blades access and not locked out ??"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Found our resident Monk and pair him with someone with access.  Invited them to group and they just zoned in to loot his nice new toy.   He was a very happy Monk.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you have a full group you may be able to have some drop group and leave the instance to group new people and get them in.  Haven't had to try that yet.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
