According to http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Protection, a Giant Monster has 75 points of mez protection.
Well, since you will need multiple immob powers and since most Dom and Controller immobs are mag 3 or 4.
75 divided by 3 = 25 mag 3 immobs.
75 divided by 4 gets rounded to 19 mag 4 immobs.
Domination would increase those mags by 5 (taken from Mids):
75 divided by 8 is rounded to 10.
75 divided by 9 is rounded to 9.
Using only one immob power. If you start to mix them then you need enough stacks within those ranges.
You need taunt, not immobs.
I don't think Taunt affects a mob that is running away.
This wiki page seems to imply that Giant Monsters don't get immobilize protection, but if that were true then you should be able to immob him in one go. So something fishy is going on here, maybe Scrapyard is just "hard coded" that way.

Personally, what I think you need to do is avoid killing his minions. Part of the "run away" calculation is how many nearby allies have died. Kill enough and Scrappy's AI might get overwhelmed or stuck, and just make him run away forever. Pull him to a safe spot away from his conga line of workers, and beat him up there. Try to imob or repel his followers with out killing them.
Good luck.
Well, this is on my Necro/Dark/Soul, so precision isn't going to be the easiest task. I was really hoping that the wiki page was typoed as I thought all the "Big game" had weaker sleep and immobilize protection.
I guess that means that picking up spectral was a bit of a waste. *Sigh* I wish degenerative was better.
Thanks for the responses.

Taunt does help, stick a brute on him and he won't be going anywhere, no matter how many scrapyards you kill while you fight him.

Just now, I checked his combat attributes and he had 0 displayed immobilize protection. All he had displayed was 100pts KB and repel protection. I managed to stack 9 immobilize, spiking to 12 at one point, but he just kept running around. So, How much immobilize do I need so I can finally gut this dude? |
If you have 2 or 3 people spamming immobilizes on him you can probably get him to hold still, but if you're just spamming immobilizes you probably aren't doing much damage to him, making the fight take longer.
If you can deal enough damage to drop him solo (not easy, but very possible with some builds), find a tank or a brute with a strong taunt aura to keep him stuck to them.
