Pit of Petrax warrior help
I am a relatively new 65 and I am having difficulty with this solo dungeon. FOr the life of me, I cannot beat this boss. I cannot avoid all of his attacks, he turns to me too fast to get decent combos off and he hit really hard. I see a few vids on youtube but they are all ranged. I tried him first with guile and now I am +12 misery with good rolls, using my premium potion, my 15% damage potion and I just can't kill him fast enough before he widdles done my health rather quickly. Is there any trick to this boss? I can usually get him down to 6 bars when he summons all the adds together but then I just get anhialated.

As for tricks... Keep your most damaging attacks for after the second shield, then burn him as fast as you can. Sorry if it's too vague, but I have no idea how to play a Warrior.
If the adds are troubling you try focusing them first instead of the boss, also learn Petrax's arm swinging animation, and the range he does it at, so you can pre-emptively dodge/block
There is no way in hell i can beat him, spam dodging every attack possible, using as many ranged attacks as i can, etc, only gets me down to 97% of his health left.
So obviously, I try and leave, but can't. Not allowed to teleport, can't respawn outside the pit, and there's no exit teleportal anywhere.
More or less thinking i may have to delete my character because there's not any way for me to beat it. (I even thought about getting another ninja to level 65, enchanting gear, then buying mobile banker from shop to give my pit character good enough gear to win, but it's soulbound so that's not even possible)
Sorry for necro, but this is my first post so i don't even know where the forum main page is
Are you saying that you're stuck inside the pit? Have you tried resetting the instance?
- type /reset
It's a little sad that new players can't beat a Fangspawn. Teras' concept is to engage Fangspawns all the way during leveling up. Besides that, the lower level ones are really slow and the high level ones are as fast as Petrax - just the concept of training. By hitting lvl65, one should have killed enough Fangspawns to know the mechanics, the ability of ones' own class and how to kill it.
Every class can solo kill a BAM, even without using a single evasive maneuver. When I was teaching new players to fight a BAM, there is a very simple and easy method to do so. Circle the BAM until it stops and executes an attack. This is when you get to do one hit. By the time, you will get to do more hits and even change this primitive circling to head on evading and backcritting.
If you run in without knowledge about mechanics and think that you should dash out 100% damage, you're doing it wrong. This is also why Youtube Videos don't help at all, because it seems like dashing out a lot of damage helps. Keep in mind that Youtube videos are posted by experienced players at their best. Petrax doesn't need to be killed in 2 min.
So, if you are not familiar with BAMs, level another character going thru the normal route and fight BAMs. It's fun to learn (because you'll see the success fast) and very helpful for the lvl65 dungeons. Mastering movement is the basic skill in every MMO.
Petrax attack speed
As a normal high level BAM, his attack speed is quite fast. So if you've never encountered a Fangspawn, you'll get hit a lot. I played a Ninja (cloth) and the best way is to run away and directly pass through him (evasion) or past him (just running).
Break 1 - Archers (75%)
This is where you refill your health. Use your self-healing skill (except the poor sorcerers). Stand still, until they target you (big orange targeting line on the floor), then move.
Break 2 - Priests (50%)
Now this is a real break. No one will shoot you and you should refill your HP.
Chaos - everyone wants to kick your gluteus maximus (25%)
Pick priests as primary targets. More evade than damage. Always run away. The boss will trip sometimes by himself. Don't attack him, focus on the priests and archers.
