impressive you beat it with melee set up and only 2 mage, lol the start where u tankin it was a bit messy, helps if u tank against the wall ^^ but hey im not havin a dig, the reason u see most vids as ranged is because people want to get it done fast for time to get other chests and for batraal, this fight can be won in 5 minutes or less. . . grats on the win though. . . look forward to seein a video of you lot on batraal soon ^^
First of all congrats on the ogre kill, and with a melee set up no less. However, I have a few suggestions for anyone else considering attempting a set up like this. I see that you all run away whenever you think the ogre is about to use Inferno Drop. This isn’t always necessary because this skill can be interrupted with leg sweep or shield bash. The ogre can also be made much easier if you bring paralyzing potions along with you as well as disabling baghnakhs for your pugs. Keeping paralyze on him in this way will greatly reduce the number of skills the ogre uses against you, including double smash on the tank, and inferno drop as well as his normal attacks. This will help your mages conserve mana and keep their aggro levels to a minimum.
Thanx you for your comments. Yeh, we still have to work a bit on this strats,paralyze is really a key to avoid inferno drop or major attack.
We will get better :)Just wanted to show its possible to do it since everyone doesnt necessary have a gla/ranged job
Also, something to keep in mind is that he will only use elbow drop (rear cone aoe) if people are hitting him from the rear. So do everything in your power not to hit him in the back. Read your attack messages "Filtiarne hits the Deepvoid Slave from the rear for 65 points of damage" is not a good thing.

Or you could turn this around into a good thing ;)
