Alright - PoP has been out alongtime - Time to start posting some REAL info on these mobs...
Vallon Zek is kinda a tricky encounter. You start with JUST one. When he gets to aprroximatly 30 precent life he splits into 5 more (all with full life.) Of these "new" Vallons one is real. When that one gets to 30 percent life - he splts again. Anyrate, this goes on through 5 splits. Obviously the trick is to Identify the "real" Vallon Zak and not kill him til after you have killed the fake ones, or you end up with a TON of hard hitting level 70 mobs REAL quick.
Vallon Zek melees in the 200-800 range - i have seen double and triples no quads. He hits prety slow to begin with and IS slowable. Hes a NASTY NASTY AoE curse/DoT (cureable by radient cure 1.) Its soemthing in the order of 2k damge in 30 seconds or so. I've NOT parsed the DoT thats just a guess, but its NASTY.
This encounter is COMPLETLY trivial once you know how to do it. (Trivial as comparred to what you would expect in a tier 2 zone.) For example, any force capable of killing Xanamech, should be able to do this guy, ONCE you know the strat.
Theres your info, if noone has posted a strat I might ina few weeks.

Good info, one thing though, the splits arent level 70, they are much lower, hes goes from red at 70 to dark blue, not sure on exact level, just know its not 70. The key to the encounter is Identifying real VZ then offing the wusses whlie 1 tank and cleric or 2 keep the real VZ busy. Like alot of pop encounter, its a matter of skill and not trying to plow through the mob, nfc on whether they despawn at end or not havent tried that might suggest it next time we do him though.

Once he splits, all the new spawns are level 64. They conned white to me at 64, so that is confirmed.

Hehe - its even easier then this. Theres a way to not have to keep the real vallon "busy." Done right no need to kill more then 5 mobs. No the others don't despawn, but you don't leave the way you came in anyway. Once you kill vallon zek you can leave through the door near where he first spawns.
Way to gimp out the encounter. You win EQ.

Many guilds will not share their mob encounter strategy or mob info always, Hep.
Also, most encounters in pop are not only the mob difficulty, also have many "special" things happen during fight, if u fight TT u will know.

Well in the history Rallos and his brothers or whatever are all half-orcs, or super better looking orcs cause we've seen all those ugly &*@^*%$s.

Nah, he really looks like an orc. Didn't Rallos create the orcs? That would explain why his children would look that way. Tall bugger, too...
True, but those mutations were caused by Rallos Zek, sorta like how Innoruuk mutated the first high elf king and queen into the first dark elves.
More likely caused by the gods' curse on Rallos' creations after the failed attack on the Rathe.

In the Tolkien universe that's how orcs were created. I don't think any EQ lore describes the creation of orcs that way. Orcs were in fact created by Rallos Zek, as were the ogres, giants, and goblins. They were all originally a great deal smarter until Rallos invaded the Plane of Earth and he and his minions were punished for it.
