I'm having trouble with Orc Horde and I really just want to figure out the mechanics of this fight.
Zerker protag - 28 Kurgan - 27 Valgar - 24 Anomen - 7/28 Imon - 23 Aerie - 18/16 SPOILER! I've tried outlasting them but it seems endless. I then tried to just kill them all at once via imp alacrity/timestop via wish and mass aoe dmg spells after removing mage protections via remove/dispell magic but they still spawn in. My question is will this fight be over after x amount of time and its just a matter of survival, or is there something else?

Orcus is annoying but I find the summons in that fight to be more dangerous. Those undead hit really hard and Orcus tanks too much damage so it is easier to get rid of the summons and grandlords first.
SPOILER! I rush in with 2 warriors to get the focus of orcus and the grandlords.
Then I reposition my other 4 characters and use them to get rid of the other summons. Gradually my warriors will kill one grandlord and proceed to the next, which is repeated until all are gone. Potions of barbarian essence get used here to keep the warriors alive, but in general they are not enough to keep the warriors alive for the entire fight. I have to use high AC, hardiness, armor of faith and also the "Regeneration" spell (which goes faster with improved haste) to keep them alive. Sometimes I also use a properly protected mage as a distraction, but that goes through the protection scrolls rather quickly and if you time it wrongly and have no stoneskin on, you can say goodbye to the mage. |
