[32] Challenge: Ivar - Small Fellowship'

Tactics Overview

He will summon ranged adds during the fight. If you can get a high level tank to do this GA with you, it will be over quickly. A captain is recommended due to their healing abilities. This is challenging when all members of the fellowship are on-level. The largest problems are that he summons archer adds during the fight which will virtually always aggro on the healer and that he has a power-draining disease effect. Power management and aggro management are key to this fight for on-level characters.
