Withering Pox

Sewer bosses, specifically Coppinger, does a skill called "Spread the Plague." This skill gives you a powerful damage over time (DoT) debuff that lasts for 3 minutes. If it is not removed it will kill you.

The only way to remove it, and prevent it from being cast on you is to use a Smuggler's Tonic. You can get these by doing the Stolen Cargo quest at the Aldington Camp in Dunskeig Sewers. This quest is given by Finlow the Smuggler. If you collect 5 Cargo Chests, he will give you one Smuggler's Tonic. This quest is repeatable.

Use a Smuggler's Tonic before you engage Coppinger to resist the Withering Pox debuff.




Strategy

If you are at a high level, you can probably destroy Coppinger easily. However, if you are equal to his level, you will find him very difficult. Standard tanking is the best way of killing him, but there are some things to be aware of while doing it.

  • Stay to the side of Coppinger as you attack him to avoid any adds seeing you. Coppinger does not call any adds, but you do not want to aggro them.
  • You will need a decent amount of DPS, as Coppinger has two different ways of healing.
  • You will need a few Smuggler's Tonics to resist the Withering Pox that he casts. The Pox is AoE so all party members will need it.
  • If you have a druid, Ward of Fire and Magic will help a lot.
  • Coppinger casts a Cloak of Fire skill, so that any melee attaks will damage you as well. While this is active, if you stop using auto attack and just use skill attacks you will not be harmed by the cloak of fire.
  • Coppinger casts an AoE chaos damage skill that only the quest armor will reduce. If you don't already have the Meteoric armor or higher, use the Warden armor to reduce the damage.
