OGDeadHead.8326 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yeah, it's a pretty easy fight. I wasn't prepared for it though, so skills and pets weren't optimized for it, but still... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffball.8307 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I had no idea the fight was difficult until I came to the forums (as is usually the case with the general discussion forum... ;) ) Just pick any one of the 3 billion CCs we have and boom, you just won.

Westenev.5289 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I imagine the only people who would have trouble are those who charge the thing full-melee without adapting their strategy, or people doing it for the first time. You don't even need CC - you just need movement skills and a stunbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krispera.5087 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Run in circle and keep distance. That way, the boss can't never reach you, hence life steal. Don't even need to CC it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapgame.6519 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Didn't know what the fight was and for once I was ahead of the story/curve in the big picture. So...it was difficult for my build and limited knowledge. In fact, it took a couple hours sad to say. To complicate matters I typically don't PvE so didn't have portal merchants or whatever for stuff I was missing or possible repair canisters. So yeah, bad experience for me. Having said that I'll also admit that I tripped him up on Joko's chains and let my pet kill him. I figured I gave it enough of an effort and that was my only option.

Ramoth.5162 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Longbow core berserker ranger. Went in with my husband. He was the globe. Eater hit either him or my pet, leaving me to DPS and then nail him with Point Blank Shot to break his bar. He never got a heal off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoMarcus.7649 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 A guildie had a lot of trouble taking care of the Eater of Souls with her scourge (not fully geared though) - hadn't fought the EoS yet, was expecting a challenging fight,I took care of it with no problem at all, not sure if his attack patterns were bugged!UsedD/T + ShortbowSkirmishing, Wilderness Survival, SoulbeastPets were mosst likely Iboga and Jacaranda, but camped on IbogaI was in melee mode for 95% of the fight, using Viper's Nest and was ready to use Spike Trap for CC (and Shortbow [5]) but I never had to use any CC during the entire fight?I think at one point he used some fear on me on which I used Dolyak stance, but he melted reaaally easily (All that on Celestial Gear, ha!)

Loopgru.1026 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I don't know if he was bugged or what, but he totally ignored my CC to break bar no matter whether it was knock back, hilt bash, or pet taunt and wound up healing to full every time for about 20 solid minutes. Finally just trapped him in some terrain and let my pet eat him. Seems super buggy across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GussJr.1643 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I found the fight really simple too...didn't realize so many were having problems until about a week ago. The fight starts at minute 34 and only lasts about a minute.https://youtu.be/5vJUYW0FSCc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlyx.6732 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 it took me a while but once the break bar goes up , just doble dodge far away from it and done .... , i was melded 80% of the time with the iboga for even more ranged and condi dmg :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity.6927 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 We also had no idea it was a problem until after we had finished the story.I entered the story on a full zerker Dragonhunter with my husband, who was a soulbeast but became a wisp. We had no problems with this fight, the EoS just melted on traps and I used sceptre/torch and Greatsword. I was running a raid build (which I used for the entire story and completing all zones, as it seemed very effective from the beginning.) and Stand Your Ground, Procession of Blades, Test of Faith, and Dragon's Maw.
