Well to kill balok need
1)All stay near balok all time (If someone not near him he can jump and after start imprisons/demolitions)
2)Imprisoned ppls b soe (if not balok run to cage and than start imprisons/demolition)
Also Balok can imprison/demolition ONLY btw 100%-70% his hp or when hp less than 30%...
Now look... https://youtu.be/dsLsRDP2vHE
Looking for fix ...
Btw i start this video after he jump 2 times while all were near him... lol
****** off... fix it too...

Balok is 30-60 sec instance.If you get to prison and soe is the usual random mistake, that many do and fail sometime. Get keys and free your iss and DD and kill.
If you lack dps, he may go celestial, just kero hitting and it will go off.Make sure to also kill all mobs that may spawn ( that's if you can't kill it fast).

Usual ignorant comment in these threads, how do you expect a fresh group of lv. 97-99s killing this in 30 sec?
These days the average gear is twilight and 1SA apocalypse at those levels..
30 sec is for overgeared rich chars, obviously.
You can not kill Balok in 30 sec even with generic R99 gear, not talking about poor people, like it was mentioned above

The time might not be same for them but the tatics is right. Bsoe in cage is worse thing.
Just wait until someone kill guard to free you from prison.
But then again, THEY NEVER LISTEN AND BSOE. And qq when it fails.

in my experience all this are myths and presumptions..
as far as i have experienced, inprision is totally random, it doesn't matter where or how you are/attack him...
demolitions seems to happen when you hit him FROM outside of circles on the floor (but... lately i have seen this is not always the case, maybe reflect also count, or dot damage... idk, but seem to happend more when you have summoners on party)
in any case, the thing of hit em inside of the circles (any of them) it's the only thing i have seen working(not always, but most of the time)

If you didn't read, I've said what they should do even if they can't kill it fast, now did you?... speaking of ignorant xD

Tbh I dont "understand" this tactic, back when I wasnt able to do it smoothly the "main" DDs always went into prison first, would take so long for tank+iss+healer to kill those guards alone.. no?
But then again, i guess those really weak parties would have a hard time with bsoeing (cant tank mobs).. oh well.

Doesnt change the fact when you put something like that in the start of your post, it is implied 30-60 seconds is the usual speed. :o
O.K. Noobs, in case you don't know, here is what to do.
Idiot's guide on how to do Balok, the easy way.
1. All stay close to Balok, that means you click the boss and stay inside the circle; and this includes you! healer and archers!
2. NO skills but just Auto-attack, only ISS Single target Debuff like crippling attack + shadow blade on the boss and the healer using panic heal only! NO AOE HEALING!
3. Feoh using single target attack ONLY and the rest of DDs just auto-attacking(NO SKILLS)
4. most of all...NO AOE
if you do 1+2+3 + 4 = no1 goes to prison and balok won't even cast any skills or summon minions = Balok dies without any hassle. Do this and all melee classes can just auto-attack at start and go AFK for the entire raid pretty much.

And somehow someone manages to screw this up EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!
There is random chance on attack when you hit Balok. You can run around room like id*ot, spam aoe skills etc and it's still based on random chance when you hit him.
So these "rumors" what you should do are just useless.

No random chance but it's someone using the skill s/he shouldn't have. To be honest, yeah I haven't tried all the skills of all the classes of L2 during the balok raid. Yes, some skills are ok to use but some others trigger balok to go nuts. I know Single target Iss debuffs don't and Panic heals don't but the chain heals do, and so do the most skills of all classes(especially AOE.) I have done Balok many...many..times using the auto-shot method and no random chance there at all.

I just don't understand how hard this can be...
Not really, its all random.
I can be on yul ("long instance", 1 min++) and spam all of my god dammn AOE skills without triggering jail at all, healer can spam all their skills and iss use all their debuffs. NO PROBLEM.
I can be on wynn (very short instance, 15 sec?) with no one doing any AOE skills and standing completely still - spamming jail like there is no tomorrow.
Face it, its random.
Why on earth would they make it so he casts jail when someone uses an AOE skill? just think people.
This is on the same level as "Stop using fairy agathion, we get lower drop rates in fortuna!!"

I usually do all these things 100% of time and nothing happens, except first one(some times we got imprison some not), from my experience only first point is correct. 2, 3 and 4. nope.
This aoe thing is senseless, it can imprison u by chance wether u use it or not. Ive been on easily 150+ baloks, and with many times no AOE done he still can imprison.

1)Near balok mean near balok... circle itself mean nothing (He just spawned there!)
If you prisoned b soe only right thing you can do... Balok must not move...
2)3)4)At start i tried many times just auto attack ... DONT WORK! DONT DO IT! He still start prisons and idiot players start blame each other!!
When you listen donators/noobs and auto attack and bla bla bla... You just decrease your chance to success, so dont do it!!
HOW CAN SOMEONE BELIEVE THAT AOE ATTACK/HEALING or stun and skill attack cause Balok do skills...
Stun not even affect Balok at all! About aoe attack ... you kidding?! its just an attack,,, IT CANT BE LIKE THAT! Human w/o deep mental issues will never! create an instance based on this ****... Stop blame ncsoft lol...
P.S you must **** balok as soon as you can, i mean max dps!
In that cause aoe/stun are useless at start!! BUT if Balok start demolition you need all aoe/stuns/debaffs to **** mobs!! In that cause or your pt will overpower balok or balok will op you... its depend on how many prison/demolition will be and your pt-s skills/gear/discipline...
P.S As i saw for sure more dps you do more chance that balok will use skills (But still need max dps cuz it gives maximum chance of success)
Now main thing, imagine that balok opened 2-3 demolition used 20 prisons and killed you all...
So what?! If your pt good rgr outside enter kill all mobs, wait until all demolition close! 3-4 min waiting and try kill it again...
Sometimes at low hp balok use celestial, well hit from back to remove it...
I dont start this threat as Balok instance strategy ...
I asked server staff: why Balok using prison/demolition at half hp?! While it cant be! Balok can use his skills only 100% - 75% and less than 30% of his hp...
I just asked to fix bag,,,

:D
There is no bug, he may use his skills whenever he feels like it. :rolleyes:
Balok instance is random how he reacts. In case sh hits the fan kill mobs
(at least enter with such pt which can kill mobs) how long the instance takes only depend on the gear/classes itself or the ability to react to current situation.
If pt is weak get a tank- iss/heal a must.
Also if you enter with full pt 97lvs with feohs/fortune creepers(lol)/ +3 no ele tyrrs kudos to you!

I just don't understand how hard this can be...
It's random... :) (confirmed by magic files shared on internet).
Just did several Balok runs since last week, using nothing but the Auto-Attack-Method. No random chance or complications whatsoever.
No one went to prison, Balok didn't cast any skills or summon minions either.
The only skills the party used was ISS Single target debuff, Crippling Attack & Shadow Blade(No Mass AOE but the single target one) and the healer's panic heal. We had a dagger who got too impatient and used one of his Blow skills and right away, someone went to prison; but as soon as he stopped using dagger skills, Balok stopped using skills. BR at 30% and it was easy as pie every single time.
For those of you who still don't believe me, please go ahead and try.
Stop lie, jerk donator!
Its just a donators sick fantasy, that aoe/stuns cause balok to use his skills...
Its because mr Donator has enough dps to kill balok w/o using skills/debaffs and he want prevent any one else to kill it...
Thats why these no sense stories...
Once again: when you not use skills/debaffs your dps lower and chance to kill balok greatly decrease! (You can just hit and pray for no mobs, well 1/15 it maybe happen...)
For fat donators its no problem, but most ppl cant success...
Thats why jerks saying this ****! again and again... To prevent ppl get drop from only one boss which is killable for 1 random pt and has drop!
Shame full that so many ppl believe this ****...
P.S once again i start this threat because balok must not prison/demolition
between 70%-30% his hp, but he use!... and i just wanted to fix this bag!
Balok can use his skills only 100% - 75% and less than 30% of his hp...
where you got this info crystall?
bcause is the first time i see this.
and i have hear many rumor/myths along the time about balok...
and i can tell you i have seen balok casting inprison on any % of his hp...
i agree, time to time is so much that seems to be bugged, but i still think is just random...
for the earth demolition skill: as i said before... the only that seems to work for me was not hitting from outside of a circle...
(i actually did sometimes w/o geting a demolition... but still seems to be the only thing that works most of the time)

On every balok instance forum ...
Actually how it works here:
If balok didnot prison at start than till 30% hp will be no prison/demolition ... (like it must be)
But if he used prison at start than bags starts and he do what ever he want...
