Combat & Tactics

Strategies
It's possible to run far enough away from him that he loses aggro, in which case you can set up multiple traps to try and lure him into it. Alternatively, you can wait for an opening and apply a damage over time effect, then run away (made easier by wearing equipment that increases movement speed such as the Pearlbird Mask and master trader set) Another strategy is to run around him and dodge his ranged attacks and hit him with your own ranged weapons or spells in between his attacks.
