Is it just me, or this this maniac rate as one of the best swordsmen in all gaming? He was an absolute nightmare!
*****SPOILER ALERT!*****
I played out of sequence, completing Nightfall before Factions, and had no idea how to handle this guy when we found him in the Realm of Torment!
Me and Tom finally killed him in one of the all time farces of "heroism" once we worked out what was going on. We withdrew outside the temple and got the Warrior Heroes clean out of the way, they did nothing but give him health back. We then posted ranged heroes (2 Monks, a Ranger, and an Elementalist) off to one side of the entrance and then kept on pulling him outside on the OTHER side of the doorway so he didn't get too close to the Hero support.
If you pull him far enough he will retreat into the temple, then you just need to persue him until he chases you again; pull him past the ranged attackers; then keep repeating this until he finally died.
You can get a couple of attacks in, but you have to retreat the second he activates his skills then engage after they wear off. I kept his attention with my wand and Hex skills, Tom would run in and use Power Attack every chance he got, and we eventually harried him to death like a gang of Chavs running away from the actually hard person hitting him in the back every time he turned to give up chasing us.
Including the disasterous toe-to-toe confrontation inside the temple it only took us abut an hour and a half :/ Warriors CANNOT fight Shiro! He is the best fighter in Guild Wars! Not neccessarily the most dangerous boss but as a physical fighter he's incredible.
