Vrex Barxt Qurat  

Updated, thanks.

ever hear of qvic?

Fairly straightforward -

Run into room and engage the golem. He hits hard and has high attack, but hits fairly slow and really doesn't do all that much dps (~900dps). He's got about 1.5 million hitpoints though and procs FD.

When the golem hits right about 69%, Barxt will come alive and storm the raid, so your tank needs to be ready. Since you're now tanking both at the same time, it's recommended your raid saves their discs to minimize this healing strain. Your clerics will most likely be unable to spam heal Barxt due to the intensity and duration of the fight. Now, if Devastating Construct is a Honda Civic, Vrex Barxt Qurat is a Pro-5.0 Mustang capable of a 6-second quarter mile. He flurries, rampages, and quads hard and fast for ~3400s for a pretty stout ~1800dps. At around 30% of the fight, a few things will happen. His AC and Resist will increase quite a bit making it a little harder to finish him off. Also, two channelers spawn, one of which has an AE manadrain and the other an AE spin-stun. Despite having a lot of hitpoints, they are pretty gimp, but they can cause a considerable amount of raid disruption, especially if you forget that Uqua is an indoor zone /hint /hint /nudge /nudge. Barxt has about 1.5 million hitpoints as well.

If you do not defeat both the golem and Barxt within approximately 6 minutes, he disengages from your raid and summons a whole slew of adds on you. They're mezzable, but they're also super resistant and require malosinia/tash if you want them drooling in their own sleep. Kite is your friend here. ;)

Now, why did I choose to spill the beans on this? You can be spoon fed all the strats on Uqua, but Uqua really isn't about solving the mystery of an Escher sketch, it's about raid execution, leadership, and performance. Just because I explained the strat on Barxt doesn't mean you can actually follow through and do it, hehe.

Besides that though, I do hope this helps. All in all, Uqua as actually a very well designed raid zone. Too bad it took ages of re-designs to finally get it right.

Plus a Ceremonial Cowl for us... whatever it use may be...

Quarm is trivial to alot of guilds nowadays. There are a ew guilds on the Nameless that farm Quarm easily. They farm Quarm to gear up for GoD. The whole thing about these new lvl 80 mobs is for when we are able to lvl to 70 (if that is the new cap with OoW)we have mobs that will be dificult still. Thos of course is all IMO. I think we will see mobs at lvl 85+. If you read the lore of OoW there is mention of Gods that have been unreachable muc like the Nameless (The God of Norath). I am sure you can imagine the lvl of The Nameless if he ever becomes and actual mob.

Just my 2cp on the subject =)

my real question here is, where are we coming up with what level these *red to 70* mobs are? is it based on difficulty? Beacause if it is, you cant tell me (being considerably harder than this supposed lvl 85) that the Sleeper wasnt dang near if not 100. I know, I know the sleeper's dead and he'll never come back... just sayin
