Been boxin several named in Arthicrex today, and have a little advice for those thinking about grouping/boxing/farming here. When it comes to the named, heal early, and heal often. I was doing Cinderflame and Sol Nox camp today. Both mobs are capable of hitting up to 31k rounds on a 4700 AC zerk tank with full defensive AAs, and bard AC buff. Add to that Cinderflame had an AE DD, appeared to be around 9 k HPs, and Sol Nox has about a 7400/tick AE dot, seemed tough to resist, but was often reduced on my raid geared toon. One cast of RC cured dot for the group, but mob casts often, so more of a PITA then anything to cure.
Failed to Nurse, and Larval swarmer several times, friends hooked me up with advice, but their top end raid geared as well, so they fair better. Trick to them is the same as MMM Gear Top, peel all DPS off named and burn the adds when they spawn, looked like roughly 3 adds every 25 %, bard couldn;t seem to get a mezz off, but we went down so fast couldn;t see if it was resisted, or unmezzable, but most not mezzable on those.
Long Story short, most rounds averaged 5200 on a decently geared chain tank, however factor in roughly 5200/tick extra for DDs and DoTs = a lot of dmg potential for those tankin with a DPS. My 82 warrior in defensive actually lived long enough for me to get monk back up and into whirlwind to finish off one of the named, but I certainly wouldn;t suggest a lower level lower AAd tank here unless you wanna get slaughtered.
