Yeah, it looks to me like he casts bear form earlier. He used to not cast it until you started casting something on him, but now he casts it when you are still a ways away. Meh.
Anyone try this lately? Looks like they nerfed the build. Bison seems to cast bear form quicker, and when I try to interrupt it, I mess up the second assassin.
I will keep trying, but I am not having any luck currently.
Yeah, I can beat him now, but it's tricky. He kills both sins, and comes after me after purging.
Perhaps that extra slot could be used for ineptitude or complicate? The latter is a general interrupt that could be useful in any situation, especially against any signet users.
Another useful one would be Parasitic Bond. Degen plus Health, cheap, and low recharge
For non-Istan characters, they can do the quest "A Land of Heroes", and abandon it at the end. It gives about 550 sunspear points, which makes rank six in two tries (about 10-20 minutes each). If you are tricky, you can run it a third time when your SSPts are just below 1000, giving your character a lead to the next rank. Look up the quest on GuildWiki for more info.
A rank of 6 will do 70 damage. I think that might be enough. I'll let you know how it turns out
BTW, currently Shrinking Armor is a waste of a slot. On Bison it only functions as a lure to get him to use up his purge signet before you hex him with Enfeeble and Insidious. That is a slot I can play around with for e-management or possible more damage.
I forgot about sunspear requirements for Necrosis.
What if you use Signet of Illusions for the Necrosis spells?
I am using 3 radiant insignias, 2 rune of attunements and a +20 energy staff. I have not put e-management into the build as the total energy was enough to cast the build.
I am going out for the day, but will try again tonight to see if I can change the build to use something other than necrosis and maybe some e-management if energy is a problem.
This build only works consistently if you have max (or at least high) sunspear titles. I am a measely rank 1, and I get my but kicked 9/10 times. If my 2-3 Necrosis did double damage, I would be winning consistently

ye they nerfed it, ritualists were beating it as they spawned spirits then attacked. they made it so the foe attacks straight away, doesn't wait.

ritualist can still beat him it's pretty easy.
