This boss fight is actually extremely easy, you need only understand it's mechanics. My only gripe is that the model is pretty much a reused Mouth of Zhaitan. How to beat this boss with any profession, based on my experience: Do not use your CC to break his break bar right off the bat, just DPS him until he is about to leap. Save your CC, do not use it.Once the circle appears signaling his jump destination, move quickly away from it as once he lands, he will laser you (removing all boons) and pull you in. Stability is ineffective. Dodge away from him to avoid getting too close. Movement skills like Shadowstep, Blink, Lightning Reflexes can help too.As soon as he stops his laser, ready your CC and run at him full speed into attacking distance. Once he looks up he will begin to prepare to self-heal, CC him before the circle around him gets "fully charged" to prevent him from healing (the circle charges very fast so be aware). He will then be stunned as his entire break bar is broken and you can DPS him.Once he recovers he will run around some more for a little while, attacking you. Keep attacking him until he prepares to leap, and repeat the previous steps.His behaviors change a bit once he gets low, but overall it is very much the same rinse and repeat scenario. Just watch for that leap and you will do fine.(I might be missing something here, it's been a few days since I've fought him. I think I covered it all though.) I keep hearing about bugs with AI such as Mesmer clones and ranger pets healing him. I haven't done this boss with anything but Spellbreaker and Holosmith thus far, but I recommend maybe saving a low CD shatter for when he begins his tractor-beam-laser attack so you can clear all clones before he can pull them in. Keep your pet on passive or be ready to swap pets before they get munched on. I haven't tested this or anything but if there is nothing there for him to munch on it should not be a problem, I would think. The fight can be kind of intense, but everything in this game should not be a walk in the park. Learn the mechanics and timing. I'm positive that every class and reasonable build can beat him. All you need is one CC on a decently low CD, at the very least. Best of luck defeating the Soul Muncher.
