Guys I got freaking annihilated by Benn Jahr the colossal on my Blademaster earlier. He was near one of the blood wagons at the necropolis. Level 71 Blademaster with pretty decent gear, and I was fighting the elite tier version, not even the ultimate one. Reminds me of my first run in with a Gigantes Dactyl on TQ. My approach to the fight was felt like the best I could hope to do other than simply face tank him, and I’m not even sure if its possible to face tank Benn Jahr with anything short of a warder super tank. I tried kiting around and sticking him with shadow strike when it was off CD, maybe get a few swings in after, then pull out. Nothing has handed my ass to me this bad in Grim Dawn. I died 8 times, before realizing I lacked both DPS and survivability to take that thing out.
Man I miss Gigantes Dactyl. I should port him over to Zenith…
Benn Jahr could clean out a room full of Gigantes Dactyls. So I have to give Crate props for creating this beast.
Around 6 or 7 playthroughs of TQ and i have never ran into a Gigantes Dactyl.
The first time I ran into Benn’Jahr on my Pyromaniac Sorcerer on Ultimate, right before Log, I almost laughed at how much of a joke he is for a Caster build. I shred him on Ultimate with ease.
For Melee builds I can understand it’s different since you can’t kite with those.
I’m hoping I have time after this Grim Quest patch to put in more factions/nemesis and include some TQ bosses for that purpose… after I get the god damn crafting to work…
Just abuse the fact that he gets stuck into everything. take a rifle and shoot him down for 2minute.
Easiest way to take him down no risk.
