Break The Seal

Well, since I’m at work and bored…on a weekend…with a computer in front of me…what better thing to do…then surf for GW info! And what do I come across? Info on the new level 30 boss in the Domain of Anguish – Mallyx the Unyeilding! w00t!
In the spirit of alliance unity, I’ve compiled some info (since that’s what college students do):
Mallyx the Unyeilding – Lvl 30
Skills Used
Wild Smash (Attack, .5 Cast Time, 8 Sec. Recharge)
Target foe is knocked down. Foes Stances end and are disabled for 5 seconds. Can't be "blocked" or "evaded."
Banish Enchantment (Spell, 5 Energy, .75 Cast Time, 4 Sec. Recharge)
All Enchantments are removed from target. For each removed, one skill is disabled on all foes for 6 seconds.
Consume Torment (Skill, .75 Cast Time, 7 Sec. Recharge)
All conditions and hexes are removed. For each removed, caster gains 300 health.
Shadow Smash (Skill)
If this attack hits, target foe takes an additional 200 damage and shadow steps in a random direction.
Summoning Shadows (Spell, 8 Adrenaline, 2 Sec. Cast Time, 20 Sec. Recharge)
All of caster's foes unwillingly shadow step to the caster.
Environmental Effects
Repressive Energy
You lose 2 energy whenever you attack or use a skill.
Enduring Torment
Every second you are moving, you lose 10 health.
Shroud of Darkness
All attacks have a 50% chance to miss.
Demonic Miasma
Every time you block, dodge, or evade an attack you take 50 damage.
So, from what I can gather…here are the highlights:
- He's a bad mother. I mean hard!
- Even if you come up with the uber pwnage smack-down build to kill the guy, you still have to fight for about 50 minutes to get to him. These groups are the same as the ones used in the standard Domain of Anguish, so you have to find a build that can both kill evil groups and Mallyx himself.
- Do NOT use enchantments. Look at skill 2. Protection healers are out. So are Geomaner Tanks, Bonders, Dervishes...anything with enchantments.
- Stances don't work. Stance Tanks are out.
- You can't damage him with conditions or degen. He'll just use his nice little CoP for 300 HEALTH! to get rid of them.
- He has tons of health and armor, although it is unknown how much at the moment.
- The lowest health someone has gotten him is 80%. This is due mainly to the fact that a mob of margonites spawns...which kill you. They kill you dead. Very dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. I mean flatter than a Mursaat pancake. Atomic bomb dead. Faster then Gwen dead! I think you get the point.
- The environmental effects are caused by four spirit creatures. They are hard to kill. However, rumor has it, they act just like spirits. So, Consume Soul works, but thats an elite slot that may be put to better use.
- Since we're on spirits, the consensus is that a Rit with a lvl 16 Shelter and Soul Twisting is a nessecity. This is due to the fact that enchantments, stances, hexes, and conditions are useless...even detrimental.
- Following the above...this means that shouts, signets, spirits, and weapons spells, item spells, wards, and the like are your new best friend. (Many people believe Razah is so hard to get and is located in the Domain of Anguish for this very reason.)
- It is unknown what other skills Mallyx has, due to the fact that many bosses like him gain skills as they lose health. It is also unknown what other mobs he may summon as he reaches other health thresholds (60%, 40%, 20%, etc.).
- He does not need to be knocked down to continue to hurt him when he reaches 80% health.
Check out this guildwarsguru's forum thread (http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10090528), and this guildwiki's page (http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mallyx_the_Unyielding) for more info.

Edit - Well...it looks like someone has killed him. They posted a pic on the Guru forum...check it out. You can kinda see some of the classes they are using. However, the picture looks kinda odd. If it weren't for the green item name, I wouldn't believe it. It's in german. My german is a little sketchy, but its somthing like Time-Honored Prize Armament-"suberreste" (with an umlaut on the "u"). Can't find the second part of the second word. Of course, they're not telling their build :) Maybe a group of ours can do the same :P.
