Talk:Willa the Unpleasant

The point is not can, Razorfish, the point is does. Have you tried energy denial with Willa? I have and it does nothing. The guy has like 200 energy or +10 energey regeneration. He never runs out "quickly" as a result of energy denial. If you have done it yourself, then change the language to "does" instead of "can." If you have not, then I will take out the notes because this is not a secion on general spell-caster killing techniques. --Karlos 22:01, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Yes, I have defeated Willa using an energy denial + degen build (Ranger), and it was undoubtedly the energy denial skills that played a crucial role in "whittling" down Willa relatively quickly (I was running the entire mission with henchies, so you could say that it was an isolated experiment); It wasn't as "fast" as I've experienced with my domination mesmer (that time, Willa just dropped in less than 20 seconds), but it was surprisingly effective (I could tell it was working because Willa's spellcasting was far more spaced out than it normally is and he never cast Aura of Faith again after I started draining him down). And um...what's wrong with Diversion? Works pretty well for stopping Willa from casting Orison. Interrupts can DEFINITELY hit Orison (I've done it before, to my embarassment), but the spell just recharges so quickly (2s) that it's not worth interrupting. Diversion adds 50-something seconds to the recharge time of the next spell cast, so that is a more effective way to stop Willa (or any monk for that matter) from healing.  Meteor Storm doesn't interrupt per-se, but it keeps Willa knocked down and unable to cast for ~2s for each hit. Not terribly effective, but there are worse spells.--Razorfish 07:06, 17 Sep 2005 (EST)
