When I beat Sinjid's Shadow, I was a lvl 28 Assassin (apparently the weakest class, but it's nice to be able to keep up with your enemy's speed). For all you people that don't feel like figuring out a decent strategy for yourself, here's how I won (I'll try to be as detailed as possible): Allies: Veradux (lvl 27 in full paladin EXCEPT Judgement weapon) Teco (lvl 25 in full guardian, Judgement and Eternity) And of course myself in full assassin. Setting up my team this way gives me the healing support I need to stay alive, having under 500 health. I also threw all my stat points in Strength. Abilities Used: Max Brutality, Sunder, Master Strike, Coup de Grace, Break 4/5 Blood Focus, 1/3 Block, 1/5 Disruption (used twice) Priorities: 1. If Sinjid's Shadow has 100 Focus, immediately use Disruption. 2. If Sinjid's Shadow uses Shadow Blend, use Break and hope it hits (turns out your high assassin speed helps). One of your teammates might use Electro Bolt. If not, use Block to protect yourself. 3. If the little guys are still alive, might as well take them out. 4. Do damage, using Blood Focus as needed. Make sure you always have enough focus to use Disruption at least once. 5. Repeat step 4 as needed.
Of course, this is just one way to win. Anybody who has improvements feel free to add.
I beat it with a level 27 gunslinger and Veradux and Amber. I was in full gunslinger armor with the magic lantern. 300 magic, 99 vitality. I used 2x block, 2x heroic motivation, 2x electro bolt, 1x blood focus.
I followed cajunx's strategy, except that with only 792 hitpoints, I had to use heroic motivation often. I healed when I dropped below 327 (which was Sinjid's max physical attack) and blocked when he was at full focus. While I was shielded, I'd hit him with an electro bolt for anywhere from 800-1200 damage, and just waited for opportunities to cast it.
dr herregods is a one-trick-pony, you either glitch a 1M direct damage or whack him with subversion after kicking 10k out.
IIRC I did Sinjid with a 25 assassin, having 3/3 Heroic Motivation, 1/3 Block x2, restoration at 7/10, and Break. I have heard that there's a glitch with Block and Intervention, if you use both you have a 6-turn infinite shield, by that time your Block recharges, rinse and repeat.
pick up an item and equip it, then pick it up and again, click on options and click on the red background. The item is destroyed but the stats stay with you forever. My gunslinger has 500 focus, massive piercing and huge stats because of this.
that would include doctor herregods if both the timer hadnt malfunctioned and some inquisitive person in my family popped their head around the door. (thats about the 500 fire lanterns my character ate for huge fire peircing)
so does flame strike and eating about 10000 frost lanterns... and veradux can hit in the 50000 against omen when he uses the poison attack and full paladin armor...
