RONIN : what is necessary to kill these faster ?
As a Warrior, I am finding myself being slowed down quite significantly by when the spawn has Ronins...
I looked them up, and there seem to be no slayer for them (why ?) nor, apparently, their weakness to any resistance is known since, I understand, they cannot be Lored for some reasons.
Has anyone who has been fighting them frequently and, thus, has better knowledge about the Ronins, know what would be needed, as a Warrior, to be able to kill them faster ?
The Paragon Ronin took me a real awfull lot of time to kill, I tried 100% cold/fire elemental weapons (double axes) but they seemed to do the same amount of damage (lacking at the moment energy and poison 100% damage weapons), and, obviously, this slows drops....
I noticed that some players, when Ronins are part of the spawn, tend to skip them, being slower kills, and so they tend to accumulate on the map.
Thank you for the help.

I was hoping, though, that some other player with more knowledge about fighting Ronins perhaps found a way that allowed to kill them faster....
They can't be lored because they're not animals, they're humans. They're weakest resists seems to be cold. Try a cold damage weapon with EoO or consecrate weapon
This is no way to one shot kill them, a simple online check you can get all the info you nee don them
Once again, why should others have to play the game for you? cant you do anything for yourself?
its not like Ronins haven't been in the game for something like 15 years have they.........
Thank you for the Armor Ignore suggestion... do you happen to know about a weapon for swordsmanship that can handle Armor Ignore and Whirlwind as specials ?
Since Ronins are usually with other spawn, I prefer to use a weapon which can do both specials rather then have to have yet another macro to swap a weapon a go-go...
Thank you.
That's when you switch to non-ronin target in a group and use momentum strike.
The Reforged/Imbued Undead 100% Fire Damage Double Axe that I got brand new for the Tokuno Event is already down to 219 durability from the starting 255 one... and it is not the only one I use as I swap it with other weapons as needed... not to mention, that I wait till 20 or below before repairing... yet, it already is 36 repairs... that is quite a bit of usage, me thinks....
Dont kill the Ronins, drag them away. No reason to make Paragon versions.
I stopped using my melee guy last week and changed to Archer. His weapon is worn more than Popps. It has been repaired twice.
I wished, though, that I "could" get the drops I need with my Tamer, rather then my Warrior...
Perhaps, if I get to the total of points that I need before the Event ends, I will then play with my Tamer just for the few remaining days...
Too bad, though, that I have to play a template that I enjoy playing with less then the Tamer I enjoy more...
Oh well...
Plenty of Mobs in Beetlescape for both to get kills in between paragons.
Basically a Para Beetle is enough points for a drop, Kill one, go kill 3 or 4 low level mobs, you get a drop.
I can easily make 15 Beetle paragons in an hour.
