Equip a bow, potshot him and run back down the ramp, rinse and repeat until done. Slow but safe.
The problem is he leeches back more than he takes in damage, even with my 80% resistance, and Wolves are just useless against Typhon.
The goal is to do more damage to him inbetween leeches than he leeches back. Susceptibility does just that and -50% phys resistance is one of the biggest boosts to DPS you can get with your build. Its by no means "a bit more". Strength of the pack is another option, probably weaker though, depending on your stats.Edit: I think 1,5K DPS in the stats panel is a more appropriate number when you're melee in epic. Achilles, Heracles, Ares, raptor tooth have +% physical damage or can get it as completion, some can also get attack speed. Of the winds rare shields have attack speed. I suggest you revise your gear and decide where you can improve that, in addition to plague. I think you are mostly lacking attack speed though. Average damage number = dps number, 99% as, thats not very good.
Regarding Typhon's attacks, I allready stated that I'm not getting hit by his fire, lightning or poison attacks, and most certainly not the meteors. They're the easiest to dodge of all, and you can just spam at his side, while he is casting them. The problem is purely the life leech and non-elemental damage. He gains more than I can damage him, and after maybe 15 minutes of not dying, he just needs one lucky shot.
Finally, I am not playing a 'primary "tank-and-spank" toon'. Pets are a major part of this build, thus them being useless against Typhon is a problem. I really wonder how other Wolves & Nymph builds are dealing with this.
Hmmm,.. my melee Diviner also has pets and she's fiiiiiine liek,..
Anyway, I doubt a full-time 4-item petmaster would not have them dying like that
I have no problem changing plans, but I do have an issue changing an entire build because of what is essentially not a wall, but just a single collumn. Like I said, I have not had problems with this character before, and I have not had problems with other similar characters after.
Plague is something I'd try, but what worries me is that it is 17 points (maxed core skill and maxed Susceptability) for full duration -39% physical resistance, while the poison damage, and poison and elemental debuffs are just wasted on this build.
