I’ve been trying to kill Viscidus as paladin in order to get the gauntlets tmog for a while now, but at this point it feels like I’ve tried most suggestions I can find. The minions from trinkets such as Barov Lumberjack Caller and Crate of Kidnapped Puppies only miss when they hit it. Since it’s the gloves I’m after I can’t switch to another faster class either. Would appreciate any other suggestions if anyone’s been able to kill it as paladin/another slow-hitting class recently.
I haven’t tested it on the boss myself but stuff that should give you more physical attacks (note that holystrike damage should count as physical):
- Go Retribution spec and take Templar Strikes for more presses of Crusader Strike.
- Take Blades of Light so Judgment, Hammer of Wrath and holy power spenders can deal physical damage as well.
- Zealot’s Fervor for more auto attack speed and Seal of Alacrity for haste.
- Swift Justice for lower cooldowns on Judgment and Templar Strikes.
- Vengeful Wrath with Adjudication guaranteed a Blessed Hammer every time you use Hammer of Wrath.
- Use a 1 handed weapon for faster auto attack speed (Battleworn Thrash Blade is a good option as it can trigger extra attacks).
I think spenders require 2 handed weapons and I haven’t compared the two options but using a 1 handed weapon should probably still be a net gain.
Thank you for the suggestions, though sadly it wasn’t enough physical strikes to take it down.
I tried both using a one-handed weapon (not being able to use any holy power spenders) and using a two-hander, and it felt like I was able to get more attacks in, and much faster, by using the two-hander as I could get crusade up and running for the increase in haste while also having access to more attacks. Switched talents to the ones you suggested and equipped all the haste-increasing gear that I had as well, but in the end after several attempts it just wasn’t enough.
I hope someone else can attempt this and maybe get a better result than me, but for now I’m quite stumped.
