Just took this guy out as an 85 Ranger, 985aa, 30k hp, tier 5 cleric merc. Merc never dropped below 95% mana, I never dropped below 50% health -- it just took a while to kill him!
Funny how he used to be a 30+ person raid, now he can be killed by a gimp Ranger... /sigh.
Downed this guy 4 people 3 boxed, 80 Bst 1300 aa FC/ AG equiped, 80 Shm 1k aa FC/AG equiped, 75 cleric 100 aa blackburrow lguk gear : P the BST/SHM/CLR were being 3 boxed by me, and a 80 rogue SoF gear 2.9k aa's, took us maybe 20 minz with cleric using PR and complete heals, once slowed, hes no problem. Max hit on my Bst was 2.7k and really the stun was the most anoying thing, would push the hell outa my bst so pulled him to a corner and it was burn /on
downed him with 6 peeps warrior, sk, ranger, 2 cleric, and a necro. ench outside of group for slow. warrior full anguish gear 17.5khps with conv only and 3330ac cleric 1 11kmana cleric2 8kmana ran 2 cleric chain, fight laster 30min or so. was fun
Hits like a mack truck, procs a 3k DD, and has a lot of hp. A ch rot is not needed for this guy and we did him with 31 peeps :) Lost 2 tanks in the process though. GJ sanctuary of marr! Dropped 2 of "fiery staff of zha" as well.
I don't have a parse but I can show you this: After my furious disc went off he did this in 1 round: melee for 2295 melee for 597 melee for 3039 Proced his 3000hp proc on me Proced his 3000hp proc on me
This totals up to 11931hp of Damage done in one round. I have 10431 hps raid buffed. He one rounded me
I've parsed this guys melee and he does ~1100DPS melee with chain casting of Vie. And he does ~300DPS in procs which adds up to be ~1400-1500DPS average. This is average, he can still ACTUALLY 1 round an 11K tank. and by my parse above..a 12K tank on an unlocky roll of the RNG
Possibly a bug or not? I've got roughly 9k raid buffed which isn't much for todays elemental geared tank and I'm not at all elmentally geared yet but this guy hit me for 2195, proc'd 3000dd, hit me again 2415, proc'd again 3000dd in one round. Let's say it occured in a matter of a second and I was down lol. This guy is a mess or is this proc thing bugged since the March 23rd patch? I've noticed pulls are off pathed and mobs are warping bad now but for this fight at the time I was no match. I've been against this guy quite a bit before the patch and didn't fall like I did tonight lol. This guy sucks. HELP!!! Get me some Damn Elemental Gear!!! hehe as if that is gonna help me anyway.

I can safely say I am most likely NOT joining a raid to fight this guy, as a mage I would like to spare myself the humiliation.

As far as I can tell, resist checks merely see if you are hit for full. Playing a bard as a main, when raiding in NtoV I can have a magic resist of 500. Lady Nev's aoe is supposed to have a resist check of neg 200. I resist her stun maybe 1 in 4 times. Tell me there isnt something wack about that.
a parse from a warrior with defensive and 500 FR on this guy. 11000 damage in 1 second. make that lots of clerics...

The Fiery Strike effect, which has the same description as shown in the screenshot (.... has been struck by flames) is supposed to have a recast time of 60 seconds. The screenshot however is depicting a random proc that has the ability to go off insanely fast.
Perhaps a SoE bug?
Also, with a -350 resist adjustment, a tank with 500 FR should resist this almost every time. The description of this effect and the actual implementation of it doesn't add up. As far as I can see either there is a bug in the game for this guy, or the description of the mob's effects used as listed above simply are not accurate.
Here's my log from tanking General Druav Flamesinger last night. Its the same proc so it should be relivent. My FR was around 450.

Its pretty clear that its a proc, not a spell with a casting time. Asuming this would hold true for Reparm too.
Heh, not so much. -350 is going to hit you most of the time even if you have all of MPG trials done to raise resists. Bards have been able to max resists for a long time before Infusion and that hasn't trivialized this fight for people at elemental access progression level.
