Okay, so I wanted my next solo kill to be a tough one. I also wanted the headless horseman mount.
So;
Okay, he doesn't hit all that hard (700-800, with 1.2k cleave), but I knew it was going to be a long fight, a war of attrition where the odds were in his favour.
He has 65k hps on each stage, and the head only has 24k hps. He will always take at least 3 attempts, because the head disappears the first two times fast. However after that the head starts to hand around longer, however not quite long enough. Stage 1 I got the head to 80%, stage 2; 60%
By the third stage the horseman starts summoning pumpkin bodyguards, these add to the damage I am taking a bit and I have to keep them in front of me whilst still chasing the head, but the good news they greatly increase my mana regeneration. Stage 3 I got the head to 45%, and stage 4 it dropped to 30%.
Now it's dropped into Hammer of wrath territory, so I pour on the damage whilst the nasty pumpkins try and kill me, stage 5 for the win!
20 minutes all in all, not to shabby. I loot the body expecting the same old rubbish, and instead I get a surprise!
