Of all the rougue exiles I've faced, Xandro is the stupidest.

This one guy is seriously harder than all fighting dominus, piety, vaal, and merviel all at once. I swear to god. He must have 25% life regen or something, and every hit always stuns, while he has a range larger than my entire screen with his leap slam. I don't really get why you'd make a single mob so rediculously powerful; that when he shows up it ruins the experience instead of enriching it. I've enjoyed my battles with all the Rougue Exiles, I always treat them with the same respect I'd treat a boss... but this guy is terrifying and I don't understand why he'd be built so unrealistically strong. I'm fairly certain Kaom isn't as freakish as this guy.

Now that I've got him tagged as slain, I'm probably never going to fight him again... why would anyone?

Where did you find him? I found him a 68 pyramid but my teammate died to him several times and used all of our portals. Then I ran out of flask charges and he could regen life faster than I could regen mana, and I couldn't portal out to switch skills around. I had to leave him be. He was tough for sure, but still less scary imo for a life based character than high level ion darkshroud or thena moga.

I met him at the start of act 3 while searching for perpetus. I called in z level 80 buddy to help me mow him down eventually; we both died perhaps 7 times apiece. He is absolutely beyond reason for any ES character. He can go from 40% HP to full HP in 4 seconds.

Its not just him though... I had the same issue with orra greengate. She would hit me for less then 300 damage and leech what seemed to be 30k per target from it... I think it may be something do to with desync though.... and some exiles seem to cause a massive amount of it. Orra for example was out healing 4 people doing more then 10k dps each.. and was healing from 1% to 100% several times a second.

I ran into him at the beginning of the docks. I took 3 steps and he came, quite literally, flying at me.

Tried bear trap to root him in place, didn't do shit. His cyclone creates a massive amount of desync as I couldn't even hit him most of the time. Fighting him up close and personal (Eva, ST) is a death sentence waiting to happen.

End result...

I left him. Even the viper strike dude didn't give me all that much trouble (i could at least damage him), but this guy was completely unrealistic.

Desync palooza with this guy. Faced him with my totem trap guy... hard to trap, especially when 5 sec after /oos he is somewhere else already. Simply impossible with only traps, especially with the desync going on. Was in cruel that I met him, even when you try to facetank him, he keeps slamming away and back at you, very annoying.

My bow build can;t 1v1 vs him. It is skip and run (portal out).

There are a few tricks to dominate him, however they are quit niche build specific: (knockback flametotem, will catch him midair and he keeps slamming into the knockback) a good hard freeze does well too. A lot of patience can work too, if you can do constant damage to him.

I think the slam needs to be toned down or less frequent.

I had no idea people were so scared of him. I ran into him today in Merciless Docks on Nemesis, approached with caution, tested the waters, proceeded to facetank him easily while he kept swinging his hammer at me like a meth addict.

Maybe he has really low accuracy, because I'm heavy Evasion.

Build and gear are listed here. I'm 70 now, but I was 69 when I fought him.

Well he is using Marohi, so that wouldn't really surprise me... However that just makes his 4 attacks per second even more rediculous when you really think about it. I'm not an insanely high evasion character, but that does leave me with the belief that this guy could be potentially completely off limits for armor and energy shield characters. He punched through 200 HP and 5000 energy shield before I was even aware I was fighting a rougue exile the first time, and he stun locked me into oblivion every time he caught me after.

I think with all these rogue exiles they are sort of like rock paper scissors, some are real hard counters vs certain builds. The reason why he probably doesn't facetank with a totem around is due to that high attack speed I think, as soon as you lose a moment of agro he goes into the leapslam stuff. Still totems work quite well against him.

I also met him with my bow scion high evasion (at 36% dodge and 40%evasion) (no block) and it was a nightmare ;) was on cruel. I had to portal out as I couldn't get rid of him ;) That said I didn't have room for smoke mine on my gear, so no blind also I don;t run AA, though if I get better regen it would be an option.

? I just face tanked him and hit him a big stick until he keeled over on merci docks , the whole thing was said and done in 10 seconds, gotta say he hits hard , had 5 ed charges molten shell and two granites boosting my armor to 15000 and he was still hurting me.
