BERTOXX

Its a manadot and a hp dot. Also lowers ATK. Seem to be HARD to remove too. 72 disease counters that 2 casts of Touch of Crusader.

Just watch out for Bert's rampage. His Ramp Box is HUGE! Max Melee range is important. Avoid getting caught in his page box at all costs if your not the tank or RT

Just killed Bert on 7th hammer with coalition. We did the cycle in 1 hour and 33 min. was just 4th attempt at him. Had no problems with wall bugs or cornering as we pushed the kings and Bert into the corners each time and had no problems.

Spoiler incoming:

First off Spectre of Corruption respawns 6 hours after her death in case the previous Bert run fails. Here is a break down of how I run the Bert script, your results and methods may vary:

Raid set up will depend on your guild, but as this event is suppost to be pre-Saryrn I will do the make up as my guild is now (Emp killed, no VT clears yet):

Main Assist(MA)Group: three warriors, bard, 2 clerics
Second Main Assist Group: Two more warriors, Main Knight (we use SK), Bard, 2 clerics
Split Group: 3 monks, druid, cleric, shaman
DPS Group: Bard + rogues or wizzies or both
The rest of the groups should be balanced with all remaining healers balanced througout. This event is heavily dependant on Necros and Enchanters, have at least 4 total combined.

Logic on group make ups are simple, you need your main tanks with a bard (explained later) as well your second main assist group is flexible and dependant on numbers, but the warriors/knights put into this group should be capable of split tanking.

The Event:
First off, spend the time explaining to the raid that there will be no AFK time, there is no room for poor quality two boxing and that everyone needs to be alert for the next 2 hours and 10 minutes. Get everyone shrunk as small as they can. Explain to people that they need to have a way to shrink themselves if they are a large race without shm/bst in their group. Set your MT rotation for the Kings right away, I recommend 4 deep, but if you cannot go 4 deep, you need at least 2. Set your MA now, should be a warrior who is fast targetting and can maintain aggro. As well set your main splitter (Knight). Have the clerics know their rot beforehand. 5 deep is okay and should be enough till Bert. Buffing: Max HPs, mana regen haste and atk buffs. For MA groups all warriors and knights need GoD and Ferocity. Magic resists are very important, as the Carpin Script should have taught you.

Kill Spectre of Corruption, straight forward Melee. Once the SoC dies, have everyone move to the North room. There are four rooms, North, east south and west, have a map handy as you will need to lead them to each room without going thru the center. You have 5 minutes from when you kill the SoC before the script timer starts. Once the script starts you have a maximum of 2 hours to kill Bertoxx so make sure you note when the emote is broadcast to the zone.

Once everyone is in the north room, move them in right away and have the caster get to the walls. When the script starts, the mobs start walking into the room through the 2 entrances, this is when the tanking/mezzing begin. KEY: everyone has to assist the MA at all times Once all mobs are dead, OTM them to the east room (clockwise). What follows is the same proceedure for every room that follows:

Once everyone is stopped outside the next room, have the MA/MT step up to the front while the first monk in the split group runs in, tags a mob and runs away from the raid and FD's. What this does is allow for better targetting for your mezzers. The monks will die, and die alot, thus the rezzing/buffing crew in their group. Once the mobs have been broken up a bit, the MA should announce to his healing crew he is going in, we will rush in as will the main splitter and fun begins. MA gets his target, splitter has his and the necros and chanters should be mezzing anything that moves. Bards outside of the MA group can help with mezzing if your mezzing crew is having a hard time. Bards in MA groups should have Psalm of Veeshan up at all times during the raid. Systematically clear all mobs in the room, until none remain. OTM the raid to the next room in a clockwise motion. Always have them stop short and repeat the above proceedure.

For "Kings" (Adan's) the proceedure is only slightly different. First off the split tank will not be splitting unless it is to save a cleric. Second the MT for each king needs to be called. If you preset your rotation as mentioned, just rotate thru them from room to room (king 1: mt1, king 2: mt2...) to keep evasive/defensive ready to go. For all kings, have your tanks hold their engage call a few seconds longer then usual, once engage is called, get the king pinned. Now most of the kings are straight forward but here are a few need to knows (go thru beastiary to review them): I believe the 7th king procs a 5 sec stun, odds are if engage is called too quickly you will lose lots of folks as aggro bounces. 8th king dies and spawns the 9th king right immediately, the same tank should be able to tank both, but warn the casters to stay on the walls and have the MT for 8th aware that 9th is inc. 10th, 11th and 12th kings all proc Life Taps and nasty ones, your MTs MUST have GoD and Ferocity and your MT Bard must be playing PoV and never let it drop. 3500 and 5000 hp Lifetaps will own you if your not ready for it.

Speed is an issue, you need to be done the 12 kings in about 90 minutes to be on a good pace. Once the 12th king dies, do not OTM them yet. Make sure everyone is buffed with max Hps and regens. Ignore trying to buff resists as odds are you will not resist them (resist check on Bert's ae is -500). Once everyone is buffed OTM to te next room, which will be the fight room. All the mobs in this room need to be mezzed or petted (necros can get up to level 60 and chanters 64). If your dps is so so i highly recommend petting. Use shamans to get malosinia or at least malos on them and bards to help the chanters and necros with mezzing till they are all debuffed and ready to be petted. Once the mobs are under control, move the raid into the two little ramps that look at the center port in area. get your MT into one corner or the other that is closest to that center area. Have your rot check range and designate a rampage tank and 2 good healers plus secondaries on the RT. The RT will need to be smart, ie, intelligent. As the pulling of bert is easy with the new disciplines. The RT goes into the center room and left (there will be mobs to the right, but they willnot aggro unless your tank runs around with his head cut off). Have the RT target Bert (who should be on the other side of the port out block), have him give the cleric rot a 3 second warning that he is pulling then: Defensive, tag bert, invulnerable disc, and run up to the MT and stand there.

At this point corner him and push him in. DPS is the key, but this should be enough to get you close to winning, execution is the hard part

Two questions: Are people killing Bert in the room he spawns or pulling to the room where the last mini died? Are people walling the mob or trying to hold out of the wall for ranged attacks?

Thanks

For reference:

Bertoxxulous is a triggered event. The NPC that triggers him is the Spectre Of Corruption. This NPC respawns 3 days after the death of Bertoxxulous, or if the event is failed, 4-6 hours after the failure.

Once the Spectre is dead, you have 2 hours to complete the event or you fail. I believe that if you have bertoxx engaged when the timer hits, he will not depop, but I'm not 100% sure on this.

The event itself consists of an absolute truckload of Corrupted Knights / Necromancers Of Decay/ Priests of Decay / etc, and a series of 12 progressively harder named mobs (the various xxx Adan mobs in the Beastiary). Some of names have some downright NASTY procs and AE's (5k lifetap is a nasty one).

Hell of a fun event thou.

"Bertoxxulous has no allies. His followers often follow the dark art of necromancy, which he wholeheartedly supports. The Plaguebringer appears as a humanoid hunchback draped in tattered, decaying robes. Under his hood can be seen a very handsome face attached to the body of a rotting corpse. He is enemies with Tunare, Rodcet Nife, Karana, Mithaniel Marr, and Rallos Zek. He rules the Plane of Disease, which is dark and drippy with geysers of ooze and rivers of pus. The land itself looks, feels and even smells like decaying flesh, and is inhabited by all manner of evil creatures and undead. "

How hard does bertox hit? what is the dmg on the AE? would elixer mgb work? How about hp of the kings? similar to those of the carprin cycle? anyone have info on the fights plz post

I have looked up some of the books in the evil section of PoK. Ill give you all an overview of why he looks the way he does.
There was a race of people that lived in a city.
They killed lots and lots of dragons. Built houses, weapons, tools etc out of the parts of dead dragons. Bert liked that. So he basically made all the Priests worship him, and the 12 kings as well. Anyhoo, he made the kings wage war for a long time. Btw, the armys were basically all undead, and with all the undead, came a plague, which killed all the people that worshipped him. And so he made himself look like the race he slaughtered just for fun.

Bertoxxulous is a Ring type event. Your Raid party has 2hours to spawn and clear the 12 kings. You need to do the Carpin event to get to CoDb (basement of CoD). Kings are the named mobs and hit for 1400 or so, enrage, etc. The kings get harder as you progress. They also have a nasty AE dot that will kill your entire force if you don't have GRC ready. This is event is alot of fun. Bertox is just one of the five mini gods flags needed to get to Sol Tower to kill the mighty and powerful Rallos Zek.
Here is a GREAT site that may help those interested in the progression of the planes: http://www.mysticalorder.org/flagmap.htm

Hope this helps

when you hail the projection that spawns from bertoxx corpse, it will give you a message as to who to talk to. Worry about killing High Priest Ultor first to get the flag to even start the ring for this guy. limited number of hails on the guy that spawns out of ultor too, so you will need kill the whole cycle of red con nameds twice, at least.

what needs to be said to what NPC's on PoK or PoT after kill?

Actually Llanowar you are wrong. If you would've gone to the official EQ site or read the game manual, it shows Bertox as a humanoid with a handsome face and decaying body. He is wearing a large cloak.

go to FoHGuild.org they killed him already so they might have some infor about what the loot is

Is it just me, or do these guys NOT look anything like their descriptions? Last I checked this guy was suppossed to be wearing a rotten cloak w/ a hood and he was suppossed to have a handsome face on a rotten body.

Scary looking dude.

Anywho, do people who gets pictures of various Gods actually kill them or just risk their neck to get a nifty screen shot? And if they do kill them, where's the loot? where's the nifty description usually supplied with big time mobs? (Like Trakanon) Oh well.
