Lithluran, The Gate Master

[Beatboxin]

I know we used to have problems with the fight cause there are many things to make it go south.. Things to rember and to try as you tune your strat..
A, once add is at 90-80-70 turn tanks around to not ripo mobs down also no doting adds.
B, no ae songs or ae spells/clickys ( clr ae hammer ).
C, those toons in each of the add rooms we placed on the other side of the mob to keep toons as far from the other rooms and the ones on the main mob (lith) toons were right up on mob and right behind main tank.
D, those toons in each of the add rooms were in same grps together so that auras were not hitting toons in grp in another room.

I'm sure nothing has changed in this zone/event since we used to farm him ( yes we farmed daily for a long time trying for wiz earrings lol ) that said, the ae/add's come from something happening in the event that shouldn't.. 9 times out of 10 its toons being on more then 1 hate list or someones mob dropping % to early.

IIRC adds to 90% then name to 90% adds to 80 then name to 80 and so on.. though again 1% off and ae/adds, 1% to soon and ae/adds, 1 toon on more then 1 mobs hate list ae/adds etc..

Hope this helps you guys with your start, cause I know once you get it down hes not bad at all just tedious

The one toon on more than one hatelist is new to me and in our attempts we did this and did not fail. The two southern rooms do not summon and can be done with Wizards. But like Beat, it has been years since I did Lith. I do remember that I taught me to hate these balance fights. Good news is there are two more coming....... Err wait maybe thats bad news.

The whole hate list thing shouldn't be relevant to the fight. I get that it's an issue for people, and many thanks to Beat and others for posting their strats. The xtarget wasn't a thing until the code update. So when the event was originally created, there was no way to know who was on what hate list. Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems like a bug.

It's not impossible to control, but it's not like controlling agro. A lot of things can throw a toon on the hate list.

In no way am I advocating the event be made easier. I'm suggesting the event isn't acting as intended. Being new to the encounter, I really don't know if this isn't the norm. If it is, we'll figure it out.

/wrist. Balance on raids on live is nowhere near as punishing as it is here >. <

Just reviving this to scream at the world!

Whew, now that I got that out, I feel better. I guess, as a gimp solo player, mostly, I can't get this guy dead, but judging from the posts, I'm in good company.

Failing here, I decided to end my night and play with lint, but, I have a question about progressing further; Can you go further into Nadox without killing this guy? I believe I read that you have to kill each boss to make the rocks move, so if this is so, I'm stuck killing the 3 I did before him, yes?

Thank you for your answers.

You do not have to kill him to progress. You can do Vistrinda without killing him first or ever for that matter. The Gate Master fight is not very fun IMO

Cool. The Wiki says "After killing each boss, the door (giant stones) to the next bosses are unlocked.", so it made me think I was blocked from the rest of the Bosses.

If the giant stones are not locked, then maybe the wiki should be changed? (I can't do it)

Thanks for answering!

[Enrikk]

Sadly, the Wiki is correct. Apparently, at least until the first kill, the doors to the next boss are locked.

So, any advice from other (mostly) solo boxers out there?

I feel your pain I know exactly how to kill him and simply can't on my own.

What you could do is get in a guild that can kill it or have others join you. Get the kill even with a single toon and get the kill flag. Then you can open the rocks all day long.
