Has anyone come up with a strategy for beating this that isn't a blood bath? I'm not above cheese and exploits at this point.
I ran What Goes Up on EE earlier tonight. First time in the quest for 4 of us. 2 had run it on EH once, so we had an idea of what to expect. But that last fight got ugly quick...
The trash mobs respawn about as fast as you kill them. But they don't spawn more mobs if you don't kill them, except for a small number of Netherese mages. You need to have one person gather aggro and kite the mobs down the ramp and run them around (or possibly even perch somewhere). Maybe have a second player follow them to heal or take the aggro if the first one dies.
Everyone else stays up on top and destroys the flight engines, then fight the boss for a while. He will stay at about 90k hp's until the ice eles are killed. When the Shadervoi or whatever they're called spawn, try to seperate them one at a time down the ramp and kill. More mobs will appear, so somebody else can kite more or take them down to the first kiter. Kill the boss, loot.
Like I said, it was our first time in there, this was what we observed and just made it up as we went along. But it worked for us, I'll have to try it again and see how well it goes. Good luck with the boots.
