Noble efreeti Options

[Mjolnir88]

This is my first post, but i have been watching the forums for some time.

First, great mod sikret! Really challenging and makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes! Can't wait for v6.

My problem is the noble efreeti. I cant seem to do anything to him. I have even tried lower the difficulty from core to easy but the furthest i can get him down is injured. His improved fire shield murders me. This combined with his lower fire resist is overkill. He is immune to breach (which sikret already mentioned in another post) so i decided that my casters would have to take him down.

After 2 RR i can bring down his spell protections, but nothing much seems to damage him (due to his regen). He doesn't seem to take any damage from magic missle, and chain lightning did barely anything to him. I've even tried lowering his magic resistance and hitting him with multiple ice storms while a tank stood there aggroing him.

Running around doesnt seem to be an option with his incindeary clouds and fireballs.

I'm out of ideas. Please help.

Hi, Mjolnir88!
The Noble Efreeti is perfectly killable by both melee and magic. I don't remember about Breach, but I don't think he uses PfMW, so buff your fighters with Improved Haste, Protection from Fire, lower their AC and keep hitting him. Make sure you summon some monsters as meat shields. You can use Fire Resistance potions to keep your fire res up.

Now, as for the magic approach. How many spell casters do you have? Ruby Ray him to bring his defenses down, after that continue with 3xLower Resistance. Now attack him with Chain Lightnings, Lightning Bolts and Melf's Acid Arrows (in that order). With two or three mages constantly attacking him he shouldn't last long. You can use Spell Sequencers or Triggers (if you have them) to speed up the process.
