Kirix Buffed?

[Jodmos]

Had another go with Kirix now I've more health from yesterday but I think he's doing more damage than before.

Being hit for around 15K with Wild up

uhhhh... frig I hope not. That guy does not need any help.. whastoever... at all.. really.. its ok Noah he was hard before..

[Jodmos]

Thought he may have been as I was dying faster than I had the day before but with more health

[Sasrei]

hmmm is he still up and what server? maybe I can help you out.

Hes not the most fun spider to spend 40 mins with believe me I know

[Jodmos]

Not up anymore.

in the mean time, got Deth'tilac but took about 6-7 goes as he kept evading back to spawn point.

[Sasrei]

ok yeah.. kirix has been buffed. ouch severely buffed.. even with NR you try to attack him you ARE screwed.. like hardcore screwed deader then a doornail

[Kalliope]

Hrm, so maybe last night's tame method WAS the way to go.....needs more testing, though. I don't know how else to counter....

I spent about half an hour on him last night, woo what a rush when I got him! Awesome challenge, now to go grab the rest of the rares! i havent seen any others so far.

Kirix had just under a million health (lol!) not sure if this was before or after the buff you guys mentioned.

Here's how I did it (SPOILERS):

Pre-pull I put on AotW. I can't imagine this is remotely doable without it on.

1. Pulled him from pretty far away (someone said I could concussive shot him, but it didn't seem to do anything)
2. He charged at me a couple seconds later and I was launched into the air.
3. Used disengage while knocked in the air, went flying back a lot longer than normal like some kinda ninja. I probably could have got more distance if I timed it better.
4. Tossed up deterrence (blocked the killer poison and i think some of his poison aoes) and started taming.
5. Hoped for the best! haha. I have a little over 100k health unbuffed and finished with just under 2k left. Seriously!

I could see this guy being a lot easier with some stamina buffs or PvP gear (for extra HP) and possibly even the corehound heroism at the start to speed up the tame

I'll try to get a screenie up later today. don't give up fellow pet colectors!
