Tunat`Muram Cuu Vauax  

So, break it down for me. What sort of gear and set up would a group need to beat this guy down? I'm also guessing mercs aren't allowed in the zone...?

And for me personally? My tank is currently in Abstuse gear, the rest of my group, druid, cleric/ranger, rogue/enchanter, is in level 70/75 cultural gear. I have a feeling none of this is good enough to single group this guy, so what else would I need?

Just today we got:
1 tongue, 3 bic, 1 bp, 1 leg, 2 wep augs (2hander and piercer)

What likely happend is you had to little dps at a few critical points. once tunat goes to snake form you have to burn hard; if you fail to get the him to change from snake 1 to snake 2 or from snake 2 to zun 1 then the adds that appear during the ikaav fights will join the fray. IIRC its roughly 60 seconds to get each 10 % might be less though. if those adds spawn its almost a gurranted wipe unless you have enough crowed control to deal with an extra 8 adds ( 4 of which ae when thier damaged ) . just make sure your burn hard from 80-60% and you shouldnt have an issue

Ok, you win, I just got finished crying about an Icefall named that was
hitting me for 2600.

I expect the gang I raid with will be hitting this fellow in a month or 2, I
am seriously not looking forward to it.
GoD nameds have got to be the most vicious critters ever and 6800 hits
don't surprise me at all.

I believe it might just be the way it is until you get start the event. I think MB cons green until you start.. at least he is on track as green.

your a f-a-g

Everything really seems to be equal drop rate with the exception of the Solid Stone.

All the chests, legs, and augs come up without any seeming to be really rare.

Solid Stone, on the other hand, is unarguably the most rare drop in Tacvi.

Doubt they would have made it past the original Kretv form of the Tunat script. Even with an overwhelming amount of healing, I think some attrition would be unavoidable, and the fight punishes you for low dps severely. The best GoD era tanks in the game could barely survive a slowable Xxeric or Kretv forms with defensive, they just don't last against unslowable ones. So you'd either have to accept a high level of attrition, or try to no hit tank or summon-tank. And even if the melee was survivable, you have the level of AEs, adds, etc. I just can't see it.

Imho would be much easier to 3 group rz in tactics with PoP era vex-geared characters than to take out old Tunat with GoD era stuff.

Correct -- Congratz to Cestus Dei on Veeshan.

this place is valled Tacvi, Seat of the Slaver, i would guess he is either a slave or a slaver of Mata Muram

as far as i am aware, noone is even trying anymore. not only that, but few guilds can even get him to the point that he respawns

What's with Triton's site? I tried to open it, but all I got was a vacant domain page.

You, sir, are a iucking fdiot... hopefully you can rearrange the first-letters though, because, clearly, you can't seem to form a proper sentence or have a freakin' clue as to what you're talking about. No wonder you're an idiot: you're still Level 41 and Sony banned you!
Now, child, shut up and go play in another Sand Box... if you want to act like a fool, go to the Sleeper's page and be a kid there...

/sarcasm on

wow, get 85 people into a zone that allows 54 at a time! what an amazing plan!

/sarcasm off

And do you really want to try to spell out that name every time?

what does it hit for/how much life does it have? anyone know?

The original story line that made EQ what it is , was a big foundation of its initial success. Alot of people , including myself, are fascinated with the lore, story lines, background, and involvement of Everquest and Norrath. Never before , even with D&D , LotR , and other fantasy story lines, has the lore and background captivated my interest as much as EQ. For that , i applaud everyone with its creation , and yes, that includes Sony. I wasn't playing when Kunark came out. I am sure, at the begining of Everquests life, this was probably a very important expansion. It enveloped and encompassed alot of the original storyline, and incorporated and expanded on story lines and progression. This was after all, the expansion that introduced a raid zone (veeshans peak) and delved deeper into the story line and lore of the ixsar empire, the plot between Trakanon and the other dragons, with new , exciting additions to the game like Gore , a dragon walking freely amongst a mid lvl zone- something you jus do not see in Antonica. Naturally, how could they go wrong? There was so much to work with . Now , add in the end story line of the dragons (velious, sleepers tomb, temple of veeshan) Where do ya go from here? Well, i guess a foriegn planet was a bit of a stretch , however, with Luclin came Vex Thall. Now, take 50 players who have continually played eq for two years , give em Kunark , give em Velious, watch em blow thru that content, what was Sony supposed to do? Create dungeons that these people could walk right into? They had to make it challenging. They had to create this so it took time. Once it was worked out , you still spend more time farming the zone. This gives Sony time to work out more content. PoP could have prolly been the last of it. I mean , hell , where do you go after you have encountered the realms of the Gods and defeated them? I dont think there was an answer to this right away . Hence , LoY and Ldon. I still dont know what Loy was. Im trying to figure that out still. A 5 zone expansion that has an Innoruk guest appearance. Well, ok. Not spectacular. Ldon , while mundane after 100 or so dungeons, did give people who dont have alot of play time a very nice alternative to not only lvl up , but create very decent armor over time for their efforts. In my eyes, it was a great addition , and a bit innovative for Sony to intermingle instanced zones. I think it was a great idea personally. Now GoD, while i hate it , i respect it. Its tuff. Damn tuff. I cannot tell you how many people i know that fail time and time again trying to get thru a Vxed / Tipt trial. However , there is not a piece of loot at the end that doesnt make it worth it. I have seen some things coming out of KT that are incredible, and you have to work your ass off to get to it. Personally, i dont care if we go back to SSRA names **Commander Zzzasiizz** or whatever. I could care less what his name is, we all call him Com 1 anyway. I just wanna know what he drops , and how he is gonna help me progress. Granted this does not help out any when trying to explain to someone over the phone about a certain mob, my point basically is , does it matter if you are killing Zuram Zatta Hatta Banna Ramma , or if you are killing a guy named Bob ? We all are out for one thing mainly ,...to progress. Sony knows that. I would rather have my development team banging their heads against the desk trying to figure out how an encounter should work , rather than , what names are they gonna come up with that the player base likes. All in all i think Sony is trying to provide us with what we want, based on what we have crabbed about over the years. Mebbe they don't always hit the nail on the head, but hey , like someone else mentioned , the grass is always greener , and thats why tons of SWG players came back to EQ after two months.
