Well, it seems that AV is still broken. The current theory is that by killing sets of wynavs simultaneously (perhaps with the corresponding element of the day) you can lock AV's 2hrs and abilities.

While SE told us how to lock his Regen, that does us no good. Regardless of his regen, if he has the ability to Benediction, you'll never be able to kill him. Additionally, if he has all of his magic abilities you'll never be able to even fight him.

So we killed a set of wynavs simultaneously the way that others have, which seemed to work (until the November update). However, unlike most groups that had 10+ sets of wynavs spawn, AV didn't call forth another set of wynavs.

This has happened to a group before. They managed to lock AVs 2hrs by killing wynavs, but eventually AV stopped summoning and still had his abilities. This left them with no method of trying to lock his abilities. This left them (and us) unable to fight him.





So for a little synopsis. After waiting a while for a second set of wynav spawns and realizing they weren't gonna happen, we tried to fight AV. About 2 minutes into fighting him, he used Manafont -> Meteor.

Someone without filters counted the deaths. There were 48 deaths instantaneously. Everyone within a very large range of AV died. There is absolutely no way to survive this. So if he's left unlocked, he's unfightable.

After this, we decided we had to call it a night. I wish SE would throw us a bone, or at least stop 'fixing' AV every tim someone figures out how to fight him.
