Discordling Dark Animist (1.5)  

I just finished this fight this morning. I was three boxing my lvl75 BST(346aa), lvl75 Cleric (only 80aa), and lvl72 Monk with not enough aa's to even mention. Each had a tier5 merc (cleric had warrior merc and the other two had clerics). I used the monk to try to pull the animist to the bloodfields zoneline and the adds followed. for some reason the animist and four of the warders stopped at the exit/ent to their cave/tunnel? and only one warder came with me all the way to the zone so I killed it. I took the monk back to get the animist and died there due to the stun, tried to fd but was not successful. I then ran my bst, invised, to get the monks corpse and bring back to the zone for rez. took monk back out and tagged the animist and he and his warders all came with me to the hall leading to the big room near the zl. I fd with them all on top of me just before the four way instersection in the hall. at this point I waited until I got the "enemies have forgotten you message" and positioned my bst at the entrance to the big room/hall and targetted the animist. I have two computers side by side just incase your wondering about that. my bst is on one pc and the cleric and monk are on the other in windowed mode. anyways, with my monk targetting one of the warders I popped her up and ran backwards and threw a starfish at it to get aggro and at the same time cast my slow on the animist with my bst and it worked, I couldn't believe it. all four warders went with the monk where she fd'd and the animist followed my bst to the zone where I proceeded to kill it. I'm not sure how long the fight actually took, maybe 15 min or so, felt like forever. the monk stayed fd the whole time with the warders standing on top of her so the only dps was my bst, her warder and the lvl75 merc tank. the merc tank died when the animist was at about 25% ish health. then I just pretty much chain ch my bst, trying to time my clerics heals with the merc cleric heals to save mana. ended fight with 2% mana on my bst and 3% mana on my cleric. And as I sit here typing this I realize it didn't have to be that close as I completely forgot I have staunch recovery on my cleric, omg. So, I'm glad I was successful with this, I think I got lucky. I let the warders depop so now I have to wait for the turn in npc to respawn. It was a fun fight doing it this way. And by no means am I trying to brag about doing this myself or anything. my gear is bazaar stuff mostly. I'm tired as it's now 2 a.m. here. Basically I'm just saying that the splitting of the animist and his warders is still possible and you can fight him single at the bloodfields zl. The animist never summoned his warders to his aid whe he got low on health like I read in other posts, they sat right there in the hall just past the four way intersection. I hope this helps some of you out there who box and are not in a guild and think you might not ever get your 1.5 (bst anyways) without being in one. Good luck to all the other beastlords going for their 1.5!

Finnished my beastlord's epic. Thought I should say hes pretty easy. i jsut duo'ed him. I was playing a 16.8K hp paladin, and my dad was playing a 77, 11K mana cleric (with most heal AA's), a lvl 69 shammmy and a 75 enchanter.

To split him, I first ran the mob and his adds to the zoneline, then zoned back in invised. We had my dad cripple on of the adds on his enchanter, while I stunned the named with my pally. My dad then ran the adds off (adds didn't aggro on paladin when i stunned then named) and died. just after my dad died, i zoned my paladin. So, the adds stayed where my dad died, and the named stayed at zoneline.


To kill it, we had my dads cleric waiting in Bloodfields, and his shammy in RCoD. We had the paladin tanking and back-up healing, and the shammy chain healing. once the shaman got oom, my dad zoned the shaman and brought the cleric in. The paladin then stopped healing and the cleric was just chain CHing, while the shammy was Canni in Bloodfield. We just slowly killed the mob while the cleric and shammy would zone in to heal, and then zone out to gain mana. It was a long fight with the paladin being the only dps, but he eventually died and I logged to my beast to loot the drop. Hope this helps :), GL to everyone else.

Nature's Placidity rank II...

Has anybody tried this and can tell me if you can druid pacify his pets and single pull DDA, or vice versa...knock the pets out first and then get him? The posts I have read said his aggro is not linked to the pets...how far away can he be pulled without leashing his warders? Any info would be great. Thanks much.

I am not Quite here just yet but will be soon.

What size of raid force should be used??

What is it's Hp??

What does it hit for ??

Is there adds to be handeled and how??

The spells it casts whats the Dmg they do??

How long do thies dots ( if any) last??

What cures them??

Need that info so i can Pass it on to My Guilds Raid leader. so we knwo the best way to kill it and the fastest too so there is less deaths when we go to Kill This. There are some out there that are a raid force all to them selves. but i am not one of them and neather are some of the ppl in my guild. That is not to say i dont have the confidence in each and every member of my guild. it is to say that there are people out there that like me want this info so they too can get to this point and pass that info on to the younger beastlords and thier guildys so please....

Anyone know the /loc of this guy?

Just killed this mob with 3 people 75 rogue, 75 monk, 75 sham also had 70 bard there for pulling. Ok so key to this fight is having 2 pullers. What i did was we set up the rogue and the shaman at the zone. The monk started by pulling out all the mobs from his room and pull them down towards where the grand historian is and FD the monk. Then with ur bard or other puller, pull the adds and as ur pulling the adds have the monk get agro on the DDA. Pull the adds as far away as u can and Fd or fade. As your pulling the adds the monk shud pull the DDA towards the zone in and FD the mob in the room right before zone out. Then buff up get rdy and fight the DDA right by zone out just incase u have any problems. The only problem doin it this way is i think if u kill the adds and the DDA like ur susposed Erana will repop when they all die, but when you dont kill the adds she doesnt repop so u have to wait 2 hrs. Hope this helps, DDA is a little girl fight took about 4 mins. good luck

The Dda is splittable without 'too' much trouble. His aggro certainy isnt linked to his pets, so dont worry about that.
We set up our grp on the stairs up from the Tjunction to the DDa's room. We used a druid to aggro the whole bunch from the room and train them out, self evaccing to lose aggro. SK tagged the Dda as the druid ran out and FDd. Druid had to train away a couple of times with sk tagging and fding for 2mins each time till we had him single in front of the grp. Fight was very hard with 1 grp, we wiped on first attempt and ended up swapping in a bard for resists, which made a big difference. Second time we won but only just.

Best of luck with it :)

just did this fight, he can be singled, had a bard pull it to the gate near zone in, cleared some trash mobs first thought

Instead of pulling the DDA, simply set the raid up across from where this guy spawns. The only thing: you will need tanks to off-tank each warder. So, before you spawn the mob, each off-tank should choose a warder to tank (alligator, tiger, bear, scaled wolf, and wolf) while the rest of the raid beats on the DDA. Another thing, it is suggested that you have 2-3 clerics healing the MT while having shamans/druids curing the curse that he casts (a health/mana drainer). All mobs are slowable (partially if memory serves me right).

There are 3 mobs that spawn in the same room, so those will have to be cleared before you begin. I suggest invising to the room, then killing the 3 dragorns. You must engage the DDA and kill him soon before you get those repops.

Since they have tethered the warders to the DDA, they CANNOT be Highsunned back anymore. This fight was NOT meant to be fought at the BF zone-line.

the mobs are now tethered so hard to get him alone w/o skill

Ok I see discordant feedback as his AE, someone posted that he does Corporeal Torment. Which is it?? And if its Descordant Feedback, where do we put healers so they are not effected by it??

Used a variance of pulling him to the zone. Even if you get DDA and "friends" to zone just use Song of Highsun to gate his "friends" back to spawn point. We had OT's set up to keep them occupied while I gave it a try and voila...worked like a charm. Freaked the tanks out cause they had no idea what was being done and all of a sudden POOF.

This mob is single pullable by a bard (me) to the zone-in. The strat is basically to DA pull the mob he'll get pets out and start chasing, then selos to the big valley and fade aggro. The mob doesnt reset he basically stays parked until hes repulled with DA again to the zonein area make sure raid party clears the 6-8 mobs in zone area to have a clear path in the final tunnel.
Dark exodus owned him 12/20/04 with a pro bard pulling named Dreckon on Stormhammer. Mob AE root which is new with 1k DD as well. Since last patch seems to have a totally different AE

Haven't tried yet but seeing how the 5 adds are spose to symbol'ize "Warders" was just wondering if they were summon'd and fall under the Summon'd laws, As in being acceptable to Banishment. If this were so, this fight would be alot easier then what peeps are taking it for. i will prob try this fight again sometime this weekend and will test it out for myself

Ok I have just finished this fight post patch on the zone and will write down what I have found out. I did this event with 33 Ele geared guildies.

Firstly we fought just in the entrance of the tunnels at the middle of the ramp, before the corner. We did this so the monks could stagger the 5 add's which DDA spawns. Fortunately we were able to split them from DDA which you couldn't do before hand and got Alligator and Wolf. We then got DDA with the scaled wolf which left the two other adds in the room alone. They didn't warp with him or come untill we pulled them after we beat DDA.

Each of the pets hit for about 800 or so and have relatively few hp's. They should be easily off tanked if need be since they're DPS didn't seem particularly high.

DDA himself was hitting our warrior for 800's whilst he was defensive, pardon my ignorance but I think this would equate to about 1400, which is what I think he normally hits for. His AE as you can see effects everyone apart from the 1000hp part which is just the main tank. And I only saw DDA AE rampage and he does it alot, although only hit me for about 300-500 at a time.

If the AE does land it will also overwrite any mana buff in the KEI line, since Spiritual Ascendence was left on me.

Had tried this event before with 19 peeps just after a patch and they had changed the event then, but it is a fairly simple event if you can single or take care of most of his pets first of all. A chest also popped afterwards which had the hammer that is possible to drop from any epic mob fights.

For any druids reading, we also went on to do Druid epic fight and my event did not interfere at all and the druid fight is really quite easy. There were some mobs in the room but once epic mob was triggered they despawned and it was just the golem on his own.

Really hope this helps you all, and GL.

P.S Erana Farrel despawn either when you do first hand in or when you kill DDA since I'm sat there waiting for her to do hand in about 1 hour after killing DDA.
