Anyone been able to find a reliable way to box this achievement? Requires you to keep real Jak from porting to illusions. I assume only way is to kill the illusions.
The first wave of illusions spawn at 35%. Have to kill all Illusions before Jak warps at 22%​
  • I have tried running to each illusion
  • I have tried pulling each illusion to me using other group toons. Seems like I can get 2 into camp but the 2rd always seems to warp back to spawn point.
  • I had one attempt I made it to 3rd with real Jak but he still ported even though illusion was in his camp.
Cannot seem to find a way to get them all rounded up and/or killed. DPS is not an issue. Have more than enough if I can get them rounded up. Between summoning and other eq BS it just seems a pain.


Then the second wave of illusions spawn at ??? 15%? Not sure. I know Jak locks at 7% and you have to get all the illusions down again before he warps.
  • Have not really tried at this yet as still trying to get wave 1 down.

Group is melee with healers. I have no mages-necros - wiz.
 
So, a weird thing is happening. I COH my crew during mission and my /BCGA //target clear Sometimes does not work and my guys all go trucking back to the thugs. Is there some advice or a Strat to ensure the target is actually clear?
you are using cwtn plugins on some toons it looks like - all you need to do is target yourself on your MA, and they will clear their target (and reclear if they get hit and the MA isn't targeting it) ((melee toons need switchwithma turned on - and casters/priests will always))
 
can just send a character around solo (invis to avoid to tigers) and kill illusions, they dont' have much hp.

pet class would probably be ideal. Other's will work. Can kite illusions, they don't summon.

Can confirm this. Tried to send a zerker around, but died due to no healing and a few adds. Now I use a DPS mob and a healer, set them in hunter mode with mobs other than Illusions on ignore, and just leave them by Hujiid. They take care of the illusions when they pop, the other 4 are enough to handle Jak and adds.
 
What is the strategy for No You Don't when the Real Jak now poofs at 22% and 7%

I'm using KissAssist on my team. The tank group is strong enough to deal with real Jack and tigers by themselves. I have a shaman that AE slows every new spawn (like tigers) so they despawn quickly.

At about 60% I switch to my mage and pause his Kiss macro, then I run to the nearest previously cleared spot. As the fake Jacks spawn, I just send in my water pet and the big mage pet and maybe one nuke. Then I run the mage to the next spot and do it again and again. Sometimes I need to Mend Companion but many times not even a single heal is necessary!

After killing the 3 fakes, it usually only takes a few seconds and the main group fights the real Jack down to 7% and the fakes spawn again. I just reverse course on the mage and kill the 3 spawns again.

After the 2nd wave of illusions are done, I run the mage to where the chest will appear and when the real Jack dies I CoH the group and just leave the last spawn of illusions alone, they don't have to be killed to finish the mission and get the loot. My mage is level 120 and max AA and pretty strong so has no problems unless a tiger spawns on him.
 
Took me a few tries but finally got this one. killed two fake Jak's at positions 1 & 2 waited until fake Jak was at position 3 killed last Fake Jak then hit real Jak at position 4 at the back of the city. Once he was down to 40. Paused my Bard ran bard to Hujiid waited for illusion's dragged all illusions to position 4. Killed them ASAP Once those are dead move bard back to Hujiid and grab second wave of illusions.
