Geonor's Intermission. Yes, really.

This has not been my experience at all with the fight, so I have to disagree. You can ABSOLUTELY fight the adds and end up with more flask charges out of them than what you came in with.

May I ask what specs you played, and did you use your first character to buy gear for the next ones?

I did it on a melee mace sorc on my first playthrough, so I didn't have any twink gear. I don't particularly recall the add phase being hard at all, other than the first attempt figuring out how to time Geonor's dashes. It took me a couple tries to do the whole fight because my damage was a bit lacking, but I could definitely clear out the packs while dodging him.

On my second twinked out character we steamrolled the fight with a friend, so I can't give much opinion on that.

You remember correctly.
I have roundabout 20 characters at this point and did this fight plenty of times undergeared af. The only thing I always do is see to it that I have at least 10-20% Frost Res so I don't get one-shot if a beam or his ice-spit grazes me.

The Adds are literal Whitemobs that only spawn to get your Flask charges back. And his charges are very predictable...

I gotta say, the foggy intermission sequence of the Geonor fight is a not the part of the fight that makes you use up flask charges, it's the part of the fight that lets you regain flask charges.

You made it sound like the fog comes up with you at full flask, then when it dissipates you're out of flasks.
I might be out of or low on flasks when the fog comes up, and I have full flasks again by the time it goes away.

But didn't you read his manifesto? 😮
If we have no problem with the Add phase, WE SUCK and DON'T KNOW HOW TO DPS!

It's obvious! He can't be wrong! 😥
