Orin Thistblan task 1

[lpdfan]

Pet spawns at certain HP % and then it will conduct another check to verify if the pet is alive or dead at another HP %. If it is still alive, then you will get hit by the VT (Vaion Touch!)

Hope that helps.

Hah! VT! So true... Don't think I'll ever again refer to the DT, it has been officially usurped.

[Lillu]

you will get hit by the VT (Vaion Touch!)

Next tier will be VT. It's not a coincidence. :p

Strangely enough, this thread makes me want to go there asap lol (especially the VT!), just gotta finish getting one last drop from PoT to finish the last spell I wanted from there, get all my 3 remaining toons the 50 adventures to get to Solro, then I can do that...*sighs* So much to do, yet so little time ! And by that time , I guess t9 will be out so will be overloaded by new stuff to do..*double sighs*

Ok, since there is no guide for that task ... I found that third named is unbalanced. Its there a trick to kill him? everytime he drops to 60 / 50 % hp, use a drain spell to heal to full HP back .... 2 mages chain nuking, 2 T8 mage pets , minion aa, drake aa, bard with dps songs on melee, pally with holyforge disc up, mage using xuzl neck to pop more swords,and thats not enought dps? I think this task are hard unbalanced ... really, consider to redo em, 1 group mid-raid geared like you say on your news, doubt they can do this tasks ......

Any way to assist on that problems?

did some testing on this guy, Vrakin the 3rd boss in task 1. I went in with 5 people to get the highest difficulty.

short version - its a dps race

long version...

I 1st attacked with zero buffs, which would put me at around 4-5k dps on a target like this. I also had a Draekon pet, which is another 2k dps or so. This would get the boss to around 80% before he did the c-heal.
When he heals, the emote says something about your life force fades away. I noticed the group would also take some dmg. I tried hiding the group out of LoS but the AE still hit them. The AE/heal would occur after a set amount of time, it seemed to be 60-90 seconds.

Next i gave myself a couple buffs which put me around 25k dps. This took him down to around 8% before he healed, but this time he only healed to around 55% hp. He died before he could heal again after that.

So it took around 25-30k dps to drop him on his highest difficulty, with him getting one heal off using this amount of dps.

BTW i didnt just guess on that dps, i went and tested vs Atcho T1 dummy using same buffs as I was using vs Vrakin. Mary pulled 25k, pet did 4.8k. Which is prob more than i actually did to Vrakin cause i was hitting Atcho harder than Vrakin.

Regards,
Sticky

As Sticky said, boss #3 is a DPS race. When you start fighting him he starts a timer which is dependent on the # of clients in the zone. When the timer expires, he will heal for 10% * # of clients in the zone and then also do 85% of your current HP in damage to you.

So with a full group (6 clients in the zone) you have a 60s timer. With only 1 person in the zone you have 110 seconds. Inbetween that it will vary, but 60 is the lowest and 110 is the highest.

I'll run a few tests with my T5 geared test characters and see how they fair against the boss and make any necessary adjustments based on what I find =)

Yea this boss was impossible to beat even full burn with t8 geared toons. Best my group could do was bring him down to 40% b4 he life tapped to near full again.... just gave up after 30 min of constant fighting lol

Noren, maybe you can add some/all of this to the Wiki, and maybe it will help some others:

Boss 1 is located just outside of the entrance, to the northwest (at some old ruins). The boss has a large aggro radius. Plant your group with their backs to the large stones on the west side of the camp. The boss has a large group knockback and mild dps.

Boss 2 is located on the southeast side of the Ssraeshza Temple entrance area. He comes with two zone adds on the first pull. At various percentages (~90%, ~60%, ~30%), he will spawn two mummy adds. All dps on the boss should be stopped (there is a bit of a buffer, in case DoTs are ticking) and the adds should be killed. Cycle through this at intervals. The boss does mild dps.

Boss 3 is located on the west-northwest side of the Ssraeshza Temple entrance area. This boss is a dps race/tank-and-spank. The exact mechanics are group-based, given a certain amount of time to complete. If he heals, he will drain health from group members to heal himself for up to 60% of his health (with a full group). The dps requirements are steep, but likely doable. The boss, other than his life drain, does mild dps.

Boss 4 is located just outside of the entrance, to the northeast, at an old obelisk. He is perma-rooted. Throughout the encounter (time-based), he will summon Priests of Chaos in a circle around him. *I am not exactly sure on the mechanics, but this is how we killed it.* We sat our ranged outside of the circle of priests, and stopped dps when the priests spawned. We also moved our melee outside of the circle when the priests were active. The encounter either does damage to the group based on a certain threshold per player done to the boss while the priests are active (most likely mechanic) or in an area around him based on client proximity (unlikely, but since we took exactly 60k damage with a full group, it was not ruled out as a possibility).

@Gukarok/Vaion -- My group consisted of sk/bard/druid/shaman/wizard/monk, with the wizard only having R1s from T8, very little gear higher than T6, and the monk having mostly T6/T7 gear. We just popped druid bp/donor2.0/epic2.0, had WoA on the group with Lion/GC3, bard songs and epic2.0, and wizard donor2.0, and we were able to kill Boss 3 with just those two major dps (monk/wizard).

He only healed once, and that was because we pulled a bunch of extra trash. I would think a group that is not running double priest/afk melody bard should be able to take him down in T5ish gear?

With donor stuff everything its easy ... as you can read, a full t8 gear group was not able do drop the named ..... So a full group of T5 gear wont take this one. Myself died cuz I was tired of 50 mins fight. Rebuffed cler and shmmy buff during the fight, the dps from the named was a joke. And the dps done to him was good, so its the drain effect he use that its unbalanced. I dont say to remove it, just add more time to the circle before he use the effect, or reduce the hp he heals, to make the fight interesting, but not impossible.

[Stickybuds]

donor or not, it only took 25-30k dps to kill him with him healing once. so setup your group and time your buffs debuffs to hit that amount, can test on the dummies in guild hall or arena. You dont need that much dps from 1 person, just the overall dps from the entire group.
