Walkthrough
The Glacial Griffon brings a combination of spirits that can shut down a wide variety of builds. Shadowsong shuts down attack-based characters, Dissonance shuts down casters, and Bloodsong does steady damage through protection skills. Spirits also have long range, and the Griffon will use terrain to its best advantage. On top of it all, it does significant melee damage.

Fortunately, the Glacial Griffon has no healing or energy management skills. As a spellcasting profession, strong energy denial (Energy Burn/Surge, Malaise, Wither, Ether Lord, etc.) will keep him from renewing any of his spirits. Rangers and Paragons can bring condition causing skills (Burning Arrow, Apply Poison, Anthem of Flame, etc.) and IAS skill. Melee classes can also use Steady Stance/Grapple and "Fear Me!"
