Another annoying Jad post.

 

So I have no trouble getting there yadda yadda, but nowadays getting the healers on you doesnt stop them healing jad

How am I supposed the deal with this?

 

I tried killing them off one by one, half healthed jad again and he spawned more again. tried again ang he threw out a second wave, then I died on the third due to trying to get them all on me and being overwhelmed =/

 

So am I supposed to get them all on me kill all but one and then focus on jad again with just one healing him?

You can't stop them healing him.

You can kill them all off if you are quick he spawns them at exactly 1/2 health; as long as u keep him under half he wont spawn more.

 

However best way these days is to just to out do them in order to kill him, you could always do it this way its jsut slower unless u have an epic spec or two up ur sleeve

It does seem that way.. hooray for me being late to the game for a harder boss :S

 

How abouts if I kill 3 and then just out-do the last one for damage? or would he probably spawn 3 more at half health again? :S

I'm not 100% but im fairly sure u can kill 3 and leave 1 up to avoid respawns.

What? the healers dont go to you if you attack them? :-:

They do go to you, but can still heal jad while you've got the on you regardless of position

 

Done a bit more reading and they'll only respawn at 1/2 health if they healed him upto full originally, so it should be sufficient for me to get them on me, whip out the CR and deal with them then back to jad before they get him to half health (probably)

Well, last time I killed Jad, just lured them over to me, killed them, then killed them again when Jad respawned them the second time lol.

 

I dunno, I'd just try luring/killing them tbh.

-What? I don't get what you're saying.

As of a year ago (give or take a few months) having the healers attack you does not stop them from healing Jad.

If there is a healer in the room, it will heal Jad whether its fighting you or not.

Wait... you have 90 Ranged. I assume you are using Ranged? Well last time i did Jad (about 10 - 13 days ago) i had no trouble at all. Felt pretty much the same as it did before the update, maybe even easier now because you soak up some of that lovely damage when you mess up with Prayer Switching. Anyhow. To get back on topic. Jad's healers can't heal him when they are not within melee range of him (or maybe not exactly melee range but within 3 - 4 squares atleast). This would mean that what you need to do is atack all of them once just to get them on you. Yes, one or two of them might be stuck behind Jad, this is why you run from left to right to "untrap" them. Once you have all four of them on you take 5 or 6 steps backwards making sure you're as far away from Jad without losing sight of him (this is key as you need to see which attack he is using).

Then just focus on Jad. With 97 Defense you shouldnt have to worry about them getting you lower than 600lp. I don't know if you've done Seers Elite yet, but the Bolt Spec ability you get is pretty handy on Jad.

Get your ranged/herblore up and use deflects with rune bolts on a slayer task. You'll easily deal enough damage to out-hit the healers. ;)

No. . . just no. 90 Ranged is more than good enough. 93 Herblore is more than good enough. You have access to any potion in the game as it is so i see no point is raising your stats, at all.

 

Forgot to ask, but you are using Diamond (e) right?

Don't use diamond (e), use rune bolts. Diamond are only useful on high def monsters, which Jad is not.

 

What you need to get is get all the healers on you, and then arrange them in a line so you're only tanking one of them. Do this by running sideways several steps. This works because only healers that are within attacking range of you can heal Jad once you've distracted them, the others will just sit there doing nothing. Outdamaging one healer (or even two if you can't get the line right) shouldn't be a problem at all with overload, rune bolts, and leech ranged/def.

green has it right, im basically throwing everything ive got at him (as you would) so deflects, leeches, ovls and the like.

I'l try rune bolts is the diamond (e) dont seem to be cutting it and ive finished the seers diary for that nice extra on the bolts too

 

Even if I did line them up they'd still be within a decent range of jad to heal him though wouldnt they? I'l probably just try with getting them all on me, killing three and out damaging the final healer next time I try.

 

Edits: I'l give the lining them up a try if this doesnt seem to work, and guess it couldnt hurt to grab a few rune bolts instead of the diamond ones instead either. Thanks everyone :)

Just nab a pair of claws and turmoil spec when healers come. It'll drop before you can even say healer.

As I said, only healers that are able to attack you will heal once they've been distracted. If a healer is trying to attack you but can't reach, it won't be able to heal Jad, just like the 180 healer monsters can't heal if they're safespotted. So, if you arrange them so only one is able to attack you, only that one will be able to heal Jad, and you'll be able to outhit it easily.
