Queen Volkara Fight

[Megalomaniac]

I got through the first 3 waves of of spiders upon engaging the event and once Queen Volkara spawned and I engaged it said the event failed. This happened twice back to back. Not sure what was up with it, I didn't die do I do not know how I failed the even. Thanks

Where you solo? First thought is you proc'd fading memories and being solo the boss had no ond else on hate list so reset?

[Megalomaniac]

Wow great point, yes I do have Fading memories proc and yes I was solo! That never even occurred to me. Thanks I guess I’ll try again and use a different aug in that slot for the duration of the fight

You can add fading memories to blocked spell list.

[Megalomaniac]

You can block proc's from your weapon?

[soandsoEQ]

You can block buffs, which fading memories is. I have it blocked on my BL, never get the buff, never lose my agro list.

The buff seems to be what causes the agro loss/makes you invisible.

[soandsoEQ]

To clarify, I have no idea what is causing your fight problems.

What I do know is that if Fading Memories is procing for you (Symbol of Rhea?), and you don't have the buff blocked, and you are losing your agro list, you can stop that part from happening by adding Fading Memories to your blocked buffs list.

What happened to Megalo and Volkara could very well be the same as what happened with me and Christine (dsk2). I hit her twice (I think) and she poofed. She respawned immediately back at her starting spot, I removed the aug Symbol of Rhea, and restarted the fight. Everything went normal.

I had not thought of the spell block list. Since I have not noticed any Fading Memories buff icon anywhere (perhaps because its an instant one-shot effect?), I guess it did not spark that idea in me.

For players who have never used that list before: push the EQ button, scroll down to Characters, then Blocked Buffs. This will bring up a very small window where you add the name of the spell. When you do, you can immediately check the blocked spell list in your toon's configuration as this is immediately written to harddrive. For my rogue, the file is Brith_HiddenForest.ini. The entry will have the spell ID. The icon for that spell should also show up in the small Blocked Spells window.

If you are going to be blocking/unblocking a lot, you can go into Alt O, tab --> Keys, category --> Spell casting. There, you can create a hotkey for the Blocked Spells window. By default, there is none assigned.

If you have MQ2, you can make a Social of it. Example: I assigned Ctrl Shift Z as the hotkey. I then put this line in a social: /keypress ctrl+shift+z. Hmm...I don't know if there is a way to do that without MQ2.
