<DIV>Greetings....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm a 41 Paladin on Kithicor server, who ran into a interesting problem last night and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to resolve it successfully.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Was with my wife in the Bloodlines AP working on mission 4 or 5 one..(the one that allows access to the higher area of the crypts) and we got down to the pentagram and spawned the mob encounter down there...6 arrow down greens and a double arrow up green boss.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My wife is a 41 Mystic, so we initially assumed we'd go the route of "Turtling" and let me kill off the lower level lackeys first then turn on the boss. Turns out however...that even with HP at 3800, this boss is killing me with TWO spell nukes. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It's apparently a Warlock class mob, and is using Nil Distortion and Dark Distortion, almost back-to-back..took 1700 from Dark Distortion and literally before the wife could throw ANY kind of heal or I could LoH, Nil DIstortion hits for about 2800 damage, putting me down. Both of these are poison based spells, incidentally.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm currently wearing a full suit of pristine Fulginate vanguard plate, and my jewelry is all caught up. Checking resists for me, I see my resist is at 1100 and some odd..not quite 1200 but close. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now I'm assuming the poison resist is too low, or that was my initial theory, so I went to the broker and spent close to 3 hours checking everything I could think of to find items with high poison resist..and the conclusion I came to is that there are precious few items, if any, that offer poison resist at all. Loads with heat/cold, mental or divine...but poison seems to be a rarity.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Given this...I'm wondering if my conclusion is actually correct, or if I'm overlooking something through lack of knowledge or I'm approaching this encounter the wrong way. I'd welcome any sort of input here because I'm about at a loss on how to go in and get the boss killed and survive that encounter.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Suggestions? Anyone know specific pieces of armor, or potions or buffs or etc that would assist in killing this guy?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Culann Heartstone</DIV>
