spoiler:

Boss does Backlash, which doesnt work versus guest and pet damage. I used clever disguise and beat it in 2 turns..the only guest/pet combo that can take down that many HP in 2 turns though. Others maybe work in 5-6 turns.

Reward is a fire dryad raiments. Neutral armor that has 2 skills. One changes the armor to FO and gets Ranged locked attacks. Fire damage, likely ele comped.
The other skill changes it to FD that when you attack (doesn't work with spells) you get a minuscule teeny tiny HP barrier if the Foe is burned.

Nothing spectacular, but likely meant for the new Ranger build whenever that is.[/spolier]

quote:

Summer Dryad Raiments

Neutral Fire Armour. Relatively neutral blocking. No notable secondary resistances.

Normal attack is 2 hits. Comes with two skills.

Fire Ward: Changes armour lean to Fully Defensive and applies a Barrier worth (X*[HITS]/0.85)% melee, where [HITS] caps at 8, if the monster is affected by a Burn status.

Note: Don't know what X (in the above formula) is supposed to be, armor is currently bugged to apply a smaller barrier than intended.

Wildfire: Changes armour lean to Fully Offensive, the armor attack to 3 hits, and locks normal attack to Ranged Fire. Normal attacks gain EleComp to compensate (1.79928 at lv 150). If the monster is affected by a Burn status, attacks deal +20% damage, otherwise attacks take a -5% damage downtrigger.

The enraged dryad felt like it was made for Necromancer. I summon my Dracoliches, toggle on my bleed proc, switch to defense, and breeze right on through with Precise Haunting.

Anima barrier keeps me from losing any HP, the spell does a lot of hits making the damage cap almost trivial, the dragons also do multiple hits, and once the cap disappears, the dryad explodes as a combined 9 power burn and 1.5 power bleed hits it.

I don't think I ever lost a point of actual HP. God I love the new Necro.

quote:

When using wildfire, the 100 Proc weapons are not locked to the fire ranged attacks, and therefore don't get the EleComp. I am uncertain if the 20% boost is still applied. I kind of feel like it is, but that could be just chance.
