Culthor the Gatekeeper  

solod with a merc today, 85 monk

casts wave of heat.

just took this guy out twice with a 85 SK, 3 rogues and a healer merc.

We can confirm he has less hp without his guards. And if you spawn him back to back his guards spawn with him the second time just for a fair warning.

Killed with Lvl 80 Cleric, 80 Chanty, 80 War, and me (76 Rogue) Took a bit, but we managed to have him take on the damage from all the adds. Chanty mezzed what she could, killed green and grey conned adds with her pet and nukes. Adds were dying from ripostes from tank, haha.

P.S No need to collect the Doomfire pieces if he's already spawned. Don't think that was mentioned anywhere on here. :)

We did this with 2 groups, all anguish geared lv 75's, and all we did was go in and kill Culthor while we ignored the adds and we did this no problem. I don't even think anyone died. Once he was dead we then killed the adds so they don't despawn.

We did try to kill the adds first but they respawned too quickly (6 min or so) and that turned out to be a wipe for some reason. Never tried kiting them so it was better to go in and just kill him while ignoring the adds since more healing and dps was focused on Culthor and the adds didn't seem to hit for very much.

Went in with:

71 Cleric
71 Shaman
70 Warrior
72 Enchanter
69 Rogue

My friend and i 2boxed it.

Warrior pulled guards, and i picked them off one by one on the shaman with slow.

Then warrior, cleric and rogue goes in and started killing boss, i tagged along on enchanter to slow it.

Went back on Enchanter, and took a few of the mobs so we tanked a few each. I kept up healing on Enchanter and Shaman.

And the warrior and rogue killed boss with cleric healing.

Average 10k buffed and 500 Aa's on all chars except rogue who's a girlie twink. Was easy fight - Dident take much time to get it done.

Max hits around 300 from guards, max hit from boss 700. With a few aa's it should be an easy fight for a few ppl playing together, we did it 2-3 boxing total of 5 ppl in the zone.


GL with the encounter

first off dont kill his guards the more u kill the harder he gets chose 2 pple to be kiters dru ranger bard some one that knows what they are doing we had a 70 ranger in guild kite them for us he eather died or lost agro but some how i ended up kitin them (64 Enc) How To Kite Them
first off u need to be on the other side of him where the mob is that the rogue has to talk to and do his turn in u have ur ranger infront of ur MT (recomend 10K+ for this) as soon as the rogue does his thing ur kiter takes off gets agro of the mobs drops down into lava and runs though the tunnel seeings how the main mob is teathered realy dont have to worrie bout him chasing ur kiter as soon as kiter out of room have RL tell the MT to enter Culthor the Gatekeeper's room get agro turn his back to the raid (no reason realy just helps rogue with there jobs and gives ranja's the back too) now keep in mind some mobs see invis so if ur ranger or if u chose a dru to kite has AA invis they will be pulling a massive train have a secondary kiter drop down into same tunnel that the kiter took off in incase of kiter death in our case kiter died i was on TS with RL and kiter RL asked for some one to jump in and kite them when they started to come back me being the psycho enchanter i am said i would do it i died of course but not before the raid had killed the mob we where after of corse after i died the had 6 mobs in camp to contend with but they dont hit any harder than 300 (my enc only has about 900 ac fully buffed no defensive aa's) we had a 10K+ tank and 6 clerics running a 3sec CHeal rotation clerics all finish with about 55 mana was 36 in raid average lvl 68


oh one other quick thing on how to get to the other side of him while he is not up have a mage run into the room behind him and camp out have ur entire raid CoHed though the zone makes things lot simpiler there are 2 mobs in room besides triger mob but any 60+ mage should be able to waste them

Went in with 14 people for a rog epic fight. It was interesting the hardest part of it were all the adds we had a bard kiting but some how a pet smacked one of the kited mobs doing enough to get it to summon the bard =/. Then they wen't after the clerics(only had three) downed them when the mob was at 25%, thought we were going to get smashed but the tank tanked him with out heals from 25% to dead was really nice....Killed him with 5 people left up rog looted he dropped the bow as well as epic item then we died =p(I got smashed before i could get off the AETL). All in all was a very fun fight

hes a quest mob for rogue epic 2.0

I know the guards aren't but is the Gatekeeper permarooted?

Guild went in last night to play with him some. We knew a little about him but did little more playing with him to figure him out some. He is slowable but it was partial and difficult to land at all. Pre slowing he hit for 700 or so it wasnt anything that impressed me too much and most hits were under 500 he did hit at a decent speed.

Guards hit for 400-500 but if you kill a guard culthor has a script that says something to the effect of him putting the energy of his minions to a better use. What seemed to happen was the other guards started to hit harder. I can tell you for sure they dont instant repop but they are on fast timer roughly 12 minutes.

After we killed the 6 guards i went in to test him again and not sure if it was cuz of the slow or if he was missing me a lot but he hit me about once every 20 seconds but his damage was much greater. first hit was 1750 and second hit was 800. He gets stronger as his minions die but he may also get slower. We were debating on engaging with all minions dead or trying to tank mez/kite with all of them up when they repopped and people wiped.

He also did have a dd/ae that hit me for 250 not sure what recast is if its resistable either. HP was told to be 200-300k but not sure if it inecreases/decreases with death of his guards.

Is anyone else half-expecting to see a little Saddam Hussein doll next to his feet??
