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.

@ Sikret:
SPOILER!

I don't know. He was probably easy for me in my current game because I kind of got the general idea of how to deal with him. But he always was a problem for me in my v5 games. I think for new players he would still present a good challenge. If he casts PfMW early and he is unbreachable, then it's five rounds of immunity, during which he can lower fire resistance and go crazy with fire spells. It would probably force player to use magic to kill him, and that I think is a good thing (pure magical duels are very rare in IA).
