Gatemaster in Nadox

[Bareth]

My question last question what is the reality with numbers for this event? Looking at what is required, it seems like this is close to a 4 group event?

I am at a cross roads in what I plan on doing. Either stop what I am currently farming and focus on getting more needed characters created and geared with all t7 gear. Or Just jump out in HoH and kill in there what I can.

This does not seem like an event that you farm. This just seems like a progression block. Because the difficulty of the first three compared to this one... well there is no comparison.

And looking at the guild progression, seems like this event is the back breaker.

/Salute to those who were able to beat it, and still continue to farm it.

Lithluran was indeed the hardest event I have done during quite some time, but the reward he was giving was impressive too. This is also to me, the best script I have met. So many different things to do, in a perfect way. I really LOVE this event, even if I hate it at the same time. Frankly, it's awesome.
You don't need more than 3 toons on the mini that summons, and the other 2 corners with those that don't summon can also be achieved by wizards (1 or 2).
Number of people attacking Boss is not limited.
It's just a lot of things to handle, considering that you need to Watch % hp on minis and that Lithluran is hitting hard. Now with the patch, it's VERY much easier, believe me

As you said, not many people have killed him, and I pity this as I think that you shouldn't be able to kill the final boss without touching all mobs before, or their equivalent like in VT (2 different paths in phase 1). This is a real achievement to my point of view to be able to beat him. Now to "farm" him, well, he is harder to "farm" than other mobs in Nadox. We killed him quite some time (and failed him too, even knowing the strat and being focused, but sometimes shit happens). Now you have DSK3 that has the same loot but upgraded and maybe easier (yet, Vassella is a real **** to kill!).
For the credit at least, I would say to kill it at least once, but that's only my view And it's not everyone's hehe.

Btw, grats to Legion of Zek and Denizens for beating it (pre or post patch). Well done guys and keep it up I love to see the "completed" tag justified on the leaderboard by actually BEATING all mobs from there, so no bypass

I can do this fight with 10 toons by myself now

I use 1 wizard for both NE / SE (has donor stuff)

my monk + 1 healer for NW

My war + 1 healer for SW

MT + 2 dps + 2 healers for Lithluran himself

1 of the 2 Lithluran DPS'ers will go help the monk / war dps down their add as needed.

Doing it by myself takes me a good 30+ minutes or so to complete the fight, but as long as your tank / healing situation is solid, you can fight it all day long.

Oh, i guess sometimes I'll throw tash + malo on the wizard mobs with my enc / mag, but they don't DPS the wizzy adds.. I have all the rest of my crew sit in the corner doing nothing.

[Xorp]

Oh and last little tip I have is once you reach 10% on the adds, then switch to Lithluran DPS, you can ignore the adds from that point on and just DPS Lith to death without getting adds to 0% or 1%..

I learned this because one morning in the middle of the fight when I was bringing adds to 30%, there was a "server resetting in 5 minutes!" notification, and I'm like SHIT SHIT SHIT !!..

I knew I wouldnt be able to finish it all out in time, so I took a chance and just got adds to 10%, then DPS'd Lithluran from 19/20% all the way to dead with my rogue donor BP, and it worked just fine, looted and camped

[Bareth]

I am halting this progression for now, dropping too many F-bombs while failing this event. Going to head out to HoH and see how far I can get there.

Balancing with the spell damage only mob is a game ender for me.

Something to keep in mind is that proc damage from melee weapons = spell damage. In fact, proc damage is typically a majority of the damage a melee will deal.

Bareth, as long as you have a good MT for Lith, and healers who won't go oom, you can tank Lith all day long, there's no time constraints.. Need two more decentish tanks / healers for the summoning adds, but if you've got those covered too, you can do this fight.

As long as you have even 1 nuker, you can do the NW / SW adds that don't summon, it doesnt matter how long you take to do it. Just focus on one mob at a time..

Fight starts: engage Lithluran w/ MT, adds pop. You can just stand and ignore the melee ones for now, they wont summon until damaged. Start with the mobs who do not summon (NW / SW), with your nuker(s).. Focus on one at a time. You don't have to bring everything down in unison. One add to 90% at a time, until all 4 adds are 90% +/- 2% , then bring Lith down to 89% last.

Rinse repeat, adds to 80, Lith to 79%... no rush, nice and steady.

NW mob; weapons do not proc nor does Spirit of Lion do anything.
