Gudre Blackhand (Solo)

This is the final named mob in the Castle Highhold zone.

He is an extremely long and slow fight. He has a great deal of damage, with cleave and a 'pelican' attack. He has no ranged abilities however.

Possible strategy:

Use a healer merc on heal only, and auto-attack only. When kiting make sure the healer merc stays far away from the named as AOE attacks will kill him.

Kite and constantly root the mob around the room (only roots will work). When you see the message saying you combusted, click one of the tapestry ropes to kill the grimling above. Repeat this until all are done, kiting/auto-attacking him between fire incidents. After the last grimling is dead just auto-attack him to death.
