Talk:Merrow No.5

Solo'd as 75BST/37WHM - it dropped water crystal.

Originally went to fight it by charming and 2houring a lahama (kraken type mob - VT @ 75).

Kraken went down pretty fast, but also did damage decently fast. Knocked off a good 20 percent or so.

The idea was to then rotate leeches - bringing them either right at thier spawn point and releasing them to let them heal, or taking them far away and releasing them so they depopped (both are methods to make use of the only 4 leeches available for as long as possible).

I got her down to 33 percent or so, then she charmed me, walked in front of me, and released me. To my suprise since I was behind her when charm wore, I didnt take aggro (sight based) so I just walked away.

I then tried again with just leech pets, this time taking her down successfully all the way.

Its a fairly easy fight if you can keep pets alive (she does a dot, so its hard to keep them up sometimes) while avoiding charm. Charm is the big thing, even if you dont die, if you get charmed the fight is over and you are at square one.

This method worked for me, not much hastle except for timing of pet releases and her decently fast charm ability (though many you can still stay out of range from when she begins to cast).

Hope this helps other bst out there who wish to obtain the 5 chr boots.
