So how to deal with high councilmen in plane of air. Those fuckers nuked me for 9K before I could even get to them. Then proceeded to prolapse my ass before I even got one heal to go off from my taps.

Triple spawn bug, maybe? I vaguely remember dying to one of the elementals that you spawn, but I think it was due to getting all 4 adds. So snuck in to the corner on the next pull and only got 1 or 2 of the 4.

No SK/ROG/SHM and there is 3 of the big armor looking dudes protecting Xegony on her island.
Oh yea, totally forgot about those bastards. It took me forever to split them. I ran to the side, where only 1 was in range to nuke me, then either facepull or cast a no/low dmg spell to pull, at max range, run back to give some extra space and flop when they get close-ish. Then hope 2 go back home when 1 stands there. When they stand on their spawn points and face front, it usually means they are reset, stand up and grab the solo one.

I didn't know about this till Rathe counsel, but if they aren't immune, I would try to cast a snare on the closest one, run back to the zone line and let them come to me, then flop and wait. The snare should keep the 1 in place to then pull.

Really cool seeing a lot of the people that said something to the effect of not playing much still playing and keeping up with progression.

I think if you pull from the side with something that doesn't do damage (they have low HP) then you only get two, as they have low social aggro distance. It makes it easier to split them obviously, but they're also kind of weak physical DPS-wise if you want to just try pre-casting a heal once they start their bombs and then get in their face and put them down.

He also has a bag in his hand for me today, so there might be loot other than the augs.
Looks like the bag was a rare drop custom combine box (named Vortex of the Past) like the Crucible of Elements that Los Necros casually snuck in on his gear shot.

Here is a weird bug, on all my 2h weps that my monk was using the weapons lost the level 4 healing gem, but the weapon kept the buff, which allowed me to put in the healing 3 gem:

All 3 are firing (from my best Quarm attempt down to 70% [he is doing ~1000 DPS and still cant come close on monk]):

I had this happen to my pally character too. But one day the gem just appeared in my inventory and the weapon no longer had it. I think it was after a server reset.

I’m the same class combo. You need to keep absolute max range and pull with AA malo and run immediately to FD split. It takes some time, but split pulling at max range is the key. Took me a while, but managed.

Rolled up Pal/Mnk/Zerk. Feel like this is a bad idea =/
I have one and its great. Still learning how to play him with all the discs and AA shit the zerker brings. My bars are filled with shit. There is a good write up on the discord for the cleric/monk/zerc spreadsheet on what discs to use, hotkey setups, macros and such. That helped substantially. Nice beefy tanky brawler. I just got mine to 65 with some lucy gear, not bis or anything, using a one hander, the rune hammer from griegs, spiked shield on offhand and the dude has 1200 mitigation already with no POP shit and hits like a truck.

This is self buffed with lv60 spells, I have not even gotten a chance to get him his lv61-65 shit yet.

Know if shield specialist works with a shield in a slot other than secondary? AA just said "shield equipped" but doesnt say it has to be in secondary but you know how those things go.

Killed any PoP bosses with him and did you run into issues? Imagine quarm is a no go like clr/mnk/bst.

Could not tell you that. Only way to figure it out is to try it. I know the AA is for only auto attacks, does not affect any of the zercer or monk shit. But he still hits like a mac. Ive gotten 50K crit flurrys from this one hander. As for the bosses ive tried all of the tactics ones and he did fine.(farming the AC augs for my dudes) Im not through POP so could not tell you about POT but plenty of pal/mnk/zerc are clearing it from reading the discord.
Here is a dude that inspired me to make one...
his run through time... Starts about the 55min mark.

I also had another 1400 DPS Quarm, he killed me once and got me sub 10% numerous times on the kill. He did not have a belt.

What's the meta ez mode build ?
Petcuck. BRD/BST/MAG variant is probably the "easiest".
My last two Quarms were piss easy at 620 DPS or so. Maybe you're just getting a lot of belts, Kirun.
It's possible, sure. But I've just noticed some super weird DPS behavior from him lately. I'm not really sure what's up. Hopefully it's just weird RNG. I'll see how it goes tomorrow.
