It took a while for me to notice how he was beating the flying f*ck out of me. He has a reflection spell ([spell=213299]) which is noticeable via the red spike graphic below him. If you don't have projected textures you're just have to look for it the old fashioned way. Any ways, if it's up just tough it out and STOP attacking him! You'll hurt yourself more than you hurt him! lol
