Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
Update: Genanine is now 52 and holding (all further exp will be in AA's for the forseeable future)...As far as I know she doen't 'need' anything but the eyepatch the lady drops would be a fine addition to gen's inventory hehe Gen is itching to go on this
Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
Ok, some of us tried this and got Vox down to 36pct before we wiped. A, we need need more chanters. B, we need some more tankage, and C, we need to up our resist gear. Lol, it was a hoot to see all of us enter the room and then watch half of us running in fear.
Resist gear, kinda like HoT, your no good if your feared so drop some int/wis or whatever gear.
We need to now pic a time to try this again and get all the peeps who signed up for it there and going. Will start a new thread on times.
Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
Ket, I'd be more than willing to lead the Vox raids
I would LOVE to see at least 2 chanters, 4 is optimum. Also, yes...resists. On the raids that I lead I love to have 1 bard in the essential groups. MT/Enc group. They have group resist songs before lvl 52, but don't get ae until 54. That doesn't help us much =P
Also, when we do these things, most of us are veteran raiders. I saw some people wondering around going up ramps, and immediately falling into the pit to their deaths. Buff hall is not a place to play around in. You do 1 thing, buff...and move in. 2nd ramp is the safe one. The ramp at the end of the hall has a pit directly at the top, and the first ramp has one on the stretch towards Vox's door.
I'm glad to see so much interest in this. I have always loved to kill Vox, and wanted to lead more slayings but the characters that I have are all too low with the exception of my mana sponge, Morg
If anyone needs any info on vox, e-mail me at lithianfiddle@earthlink.net. I'd be more than willing to share my knowledge on taking this oversized ice cube-spitting lizard down.

The battle would have been won had she not complete healed. Nalane's epic pet was one of the last things still standing in the room. Oh, and she really didn't like having 5 dots running on her... I went through 2 feigns and harmshield. Hehehe.
Definitely great MR and CR are a necessity, folks want to have above 100 in each (UNBUFFED) to seriously partake on the raid. Cold is also easy to buff by stacking druid buffs (I only was there for the 2nd attempt, and didn't see a buff order of anykind). Seasons stacks with Summer, which is like +100 or so CR...which can make/break raids.
And you need at least 2 enchanters mana seiving or the combat gets nasty and long because she'll complete heal and gate (well, she won't gate if she hasn't moved...but she can gate if you move her).
Biggest suggestions I could give after the attempt I saw:
1. Buff order, preferably combining a few high level friends with MGB after folks have 4 junk buffs up (ae does a 1-slot dispell each time). Virt, 7, Seasons, and Summer, c5/regen/speed/whatever, and Druzzil on a 52 level raid = massively more effective than 52'ish buffs.
2. More resist gear (100+ in MR and CR)
3. Another enchanter, and perhaps another cleric (though I don't think the raid failed due to healing...but more due to fear/ae damage/complete healing)
Nalane and I are totally up for another attempt anytime. Hopefully we'll have more fun and more success! This is reminding me so much of the couple dozen Vox and Naggy Aurthur led back in the day (sac'd down from 53 to lead them to get scales and epic pieces for guildies). Good times!
Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
You could also recommend instant clicky items the cheapest and easiest if you can tolerate the annoyance it is. Is a Spyglass it's a tinkered item with instant right click Telescope. Then there is the Bracer of the Hidden instant right click see invis. And then a Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring instant right click grim aura. Also people should have Holy Cakes and Kaladim Constitutionals for raids. IMO one reason many raids fail is peopel think "I will be fine with raid buffs and don't need resist gear" and while sometimes this may be true with mobs that AE dispell as soon as your buffs are gone your eatting the AE's and running away in fear (atleast from dragons). Look at how balanced my profile is:

Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
dunno if they made it so that after you engage if ya got a druid with SoTW or even MGB SoTW, come in and throw off that if it would land or not before you getting kicked outta the zone...for those that dont know what it is SoTW aka spirit of the wood, is about a 200 HP HoT, +AC, and a Small DS AA ability that druids get and it can save your ass ina pinch. also maybe some extended range items for healers
if im on and free and ya wanna try the SoTW idea on the main group lemme know
yay, a winner is me

Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
I leave this Friday for a trip and will be running around trying to get ready for it. Please, feel free to step up to bat, and call in the peeps and go take Naggy/Vox down. I am trying to remember the reason but Loral suggested going after Naggy rather than Vox.
Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
Because Naggy is straight melee with only AE Fear and Fire breathe were as Vox is Melee and a Cleric with AE Fear and Cold Breathe. It would be much easier to only have to deal with the melee and AE's then having to worry about the mob CH'ing also.
Aye Vox will Complete Heal and it is most important to keep her centered and away from the walls. Once ye shove her into the walls she will complete heal usually without being able to be interrupted and that equals CR.

Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
So can we get a date for the next try? I will admit that I am not always up to date on the boards other than HU. I will link this convo back there to get more people in the loop again. I cannot wait for Ketre to get back, she is my Sun and I am dark and cold without her.....
Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
I have Hinnie(wizzard) at 51 right now I can hit 52 and hold there for a little while. I have never raided Naggy or Vox so I will need some pointers. I would like to get Sadwenie his books to complete his epic. Just let me know when and where
Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
bah couldnt bring myself to delevel jasott so got sumteeng back geared up thanks to selling 2 stonewood bow staffs i got the other night in PoE ( 15k a pop /clap ) , dinged him 46 about 20 min ago . pretty much only looking for one thing from each dragon cause i dont plan on doing the monk epic
Re: Dragon Bane Groups (grins)
I am more than willing to come try that, I have max SotW and max extended buff etc with MGB. I am wondering if it would work to stand just out of the lair and heal the tanks etc? I personally stayed away from Vox but am familiar with the Lair from doing exp. groups with the giants.
I kinda got frustrated with Zakgorum and started a bard (hehe some of Zaks stuff fits!) I am 45 and should be 46 soon. I have been on one Vox raid and I fell down that dumb hole just after we started...did not even see the dragon
Are these still running? I have some good resists and will add Zaks resist gear, so all will be way over 100. Lolthiel is my new main, so not sure how long I will be under 52. I also have a Ranger at 46 (he is the one who did the raid way back when) and I would like to add his corpse...er dps when Lol gets too big.
Thankies
Zakgorum and the new bardling Lolthiel of Elusive Path
hehe Gen is itching to go on this
