The hardest part of the pit champ is living through the period where he has power. There are few main ways to beat him. 1) This is purely for high high high dps classes, and its to dps him really fast (pretty much wizie / warlocks only 2) This is for scouts, mainly they need to use a one hander and a shield, and even then possibly a few potions (+ mitigation, + hp, and some heal potions) 3) The way i beat it on my monk (have beat it on very dificult).  I concentrate on using just stun, debuffs, and silence.  Now at lower levels you prolly wont have stifle, stun sucks, and debuffs do little, but its the same idea.  Icy talon, charging tiger, waking dragon, striking cobra, and rapid swings.   I always use rapid swings when i conserve power.  The prime reason to use the line at all is for using a weapon like a flail with a proc on it. The whole fight u need to space out and keep up Face of mt, ur + parry buff, and toughness. When the champ is low on power and can no longer ward/dot himself i just finish him. <div></div>

HI LOCKLEE!!!! <--galadar from hodstock! anyways, what you want to do is upgrade your spells like crazy as you can add in alotta damage. im a bruiser so what i do is. cast my upgraded fear spell AND KITE THE MOFO!! with ranged weapons. then when he comes back 15seconds later. i mezz him. lasts for 7seconds..rinse and repeat. fear, mezz, heal oh, hah yea monks have minute heals UNLIKE BRUISERS!!! (90sec) i was about to say fear and mezz is great to regain your heal recast, anyways. good luck and hit it up on hod.com <div></div>
