Excelsior

Hello everybody (Merry Christmas!);

Got a question regarding the first champ: how hard is it?
Is there a strategy or something i'd need to know before going there?
Any tip, advice or suggestion regarding this matter will be higly appreciated!

Thanks.

It is the same champ as any Master of Arts champs. If you have 5 maxed mules or nobles (or my favourite cu sidhe+2 mules), then you can solo this champ. But it won't be easy at stage 4. Also killing Master of Arts(boss himself) will be very long and will require intense healing of pets. To not get out of mana, you might want to go to lich form form(necro spell) for +13 mana regen and to hold a +manaregen spellbook, but I think it is not necessary.
If you are in group, it is still easier to tank Master of Arts with pets because he has mortal strike.

Thanks for the detailed answer!
