Warden Hanvar  

easily solo'ed by lvl 100 necro with max pet defensive aa's and fortify companion, lvl 97 necro pet did all the tanking w/pet focus 14 (vyer's stud). strat was simple: i loaded up 9 poison dots, a lifetap, algid mending for pet heals, call skeleton throng. pet focused on hanvar while i 1 dotted/skelly thronged the adds (max combat agility/stability so i just let 'em hit me). had to stop and occasionally heal my pet between waves. once all the adds were down i poison dotted the piss outa him and watched as he melted before my eyes.

no i am not trying to brag here. was helping a fellow necro get his 2.0 orb. anguish is a cakewalk at this point in the game for many classes and i enjoy giving back to the community.

Did this fight last night on bertox server, group makeup was as follows...

90 druid Tarkis with his 90 chanter box(although I don't think chanter entered fight, got hungup earlier and we just left her back in a hallway somewhere) both combination of hot t1 and player made gear
90 necro Ptitcriss and his 90 mage box Not sure about ptit's aa's and gear but he's pretty badass
85 necro Nekro (me) combination of hot t1 and player made gear
83 druid Roots unsure of gear/aa's but very solid player that came along for the fun of it
80 necro Zillabene (wife) combination of hot t1 and player made gear

Upon entering room, mage pet(earth) tanked warden while 90 necro, me and 80 necro took care of the 4 dragorns in his room. Druids were to keep pet alive while adds died and possibly throw out some dps if they got bored. 4 dragorns didn't last longer than about 45 seconds. We then proceeded to dps warden until next wave of adds spawned, upon which time the necros would again burn adds and go back to warden. The dragorns were very weak and after the second wave i told my wife to keep dps'ing warden as i think either the 90 necro or myself could've taken all adds withtin 30 seconds of spawning(which we did on last two waves). After all waves were dead, dps on warden, I was tired of seeing resist messages so i just continued to cast lifetap and lifetap dots, with death bloom AA wasn't even close to going oom.
Druids also threw some damage in there but whole fight lasted about 28 minutes, dropped some trash and 2 ancient runes....NO ORB!!! The bastard. Looked up zone and Ture could also spawn an Orb so we went down to smoke him minus Roots.

Ture lasted about 4 minutes lmao, spawned orb...Gratz Zillabene on her epic 2.0. Did her prequest/1.5/2.0 in 2 days including her getting her smithing skill up to 100. The hardest fight during this entire debacle was the 5 werewolves during the prequest that are immune to melee and VERY resistant....the hardest drop was the hinge in plane of innovation, i cleared that junkyard area 5 times before drop.

Cleared it last night --
85 SK -- 85 Cleric -- 85 Monk -- 85 Necro -- 75 SK -- 85 Wiz(but was box so didnt do anything but leech)

Biggest thing was of the necro dots about only thing that hits is poison so bring weapons that proc if you got them.

Last night, to help a 71 SK get his 2.0 orb, we took him down with 8 toons. The makeup was:

85 SK
85 Ranja (botted by the SK)
81 Cle (botted by the SK)
85 Druid
82 War
71 SK
78 Bst
83 Shm (me)

The best thing to do is have the MT aggro Hanvar, have a healer on him, and everyone else on the adds. Kill the adds (will be 4 waves of 4). When all 16 are down, there is nothing left but Hanvar. Easy enough to kill, if you have the time. Took us about 30 mins. Poison based spells land about 90% of the time, magic and disease are almost always resisted, I didn't try fire and ice, so not sure. He is slowable, but that is a hard one to accomplish. We used to have the bards lower his resists along with every other debuff, but since we didn't have that last night, he didn't get slowed...lol

Was a real fun fight, but he has a TON of hp, so be prepared for a long fight.

Using Infusion of the Faithful Vet AA on my 77 monk - - - Was able to resist Chains of Anguish spell the entire fight, just a tip! ;-)

Just downed Warden... Vet AA helps a BUNCH... just watch that ya dont out-aggro MT :-P

... addin something else, resists were all at 560, nothing too special, so yeah.

75 clr war n shm trio him whenever i go to CoA. takes about 75 mins. brought druid for fun and couldnt land any fire dmg on him

Killed this last night with 1 group last night, group setup was SK, cleric, shaman, zerker, monk, monk. SK is mostly solt geared with some MMM gear the cleric and zerker are mainly solt geared and the monks are mainly geared in group stuff. SK tanked hanvar while the dps kept killing the adds till they were all dead then just dps'd hanvar till it died. The entire fight took about 67 mins.

Made an attempt at this mob with several guildies plus a few invited people (20+ in total with 2.0s) yesterday.

This event seems to be bugged at the moment because Hanvar CAN NOT get injured in ANY way at all. After we killed off the first wave of his adds, our dps started to get to work on Hanvar himself, but noticed his hp wouldn't go down below 99%, even though we had casters chain nuking and melee dps discing him. I started doubting if we had enough dps for this event, but then remembered that we completed this encounter with only two groups in the past with the same guildies.

The second wave of adds came. Rinse, repeat, tanked, and dps beat up on Hanvar. Still the same result. His hp wouldn't go below 99%, this time with wizzies mana burning, rogues burning their backstab discs, zerkers discing, ranjas throwing their shoes at it, etc.. I was really getting annoyed as heck at this point and really really wanted Hanvar dead.

Time passed, we killed the final wave of adds, had my hair turn gray, and even killed some repops in the hallway, Hanvar's still at 99% hp. So after twenty+ minutes of beating up on him (he's still at 100% at this point), our melee dps's arms became tired and our nukers had like negative mana, we just decided to tl the raid to their bind points with several raidees extremely peeved off.

So has anyone else had this problem after the small patch on sunday or am I just crazy?

1) Prep, buff, etc, away from the entrance to Hanvar's Room.
2) Send in rogue or monk to aid 5 knights in pre-targeting the 5 adds.
3) Main tank targets Hanvar.
4) Tanks rush room and engage. Knights off-tank adds while main tank pulls Hanvar to corner to Hanvar rear-left. Slow/Cripple/debuff etc. Hanvar.
5) Main-Tank Healers run to the far left rear "cell" in the event area to keep a wall between them and Hanvar. They will heal from there.
6) A main DPSer will be calling assist on each of the adds until they are all dead. It's best to focus all DPS on one add at a time instead of splitting the raid into 5 sub-raids.
7) Once all 5 adds are dead, move the DPS to Hanvar.
8) 5 more adds will spawn at 75% and 50% so have the knights ready to pick them up. They will spawn at the same spots in which they were first engaged and in the order in which they were killed. Either 3 or 4 will spawn when Hanvar gets down to 25%.

Note: Hanvar stops taking damage at 75%, 50%, and 25% until all the adds are dead so there's no need to burn him down until the final 20%.

Summary:

Buff away from hanvar.
Pretarget adds.
Engage and get to your places. Debuff Hanvar.
DPS to add1
DPS to add2
DPS to add3
DPS to add4
DPS to add5
DPS to Hanvar
Repeat the steps in bold as needed.

what is the name of warden hanvars model?

first you need to split the adds away from hanvar fight him at one end and the adds at the other end, you have a Hanvar group and add killing group. make sure no one from add killing group gets Hanvar hate list and add groups won't get AE'd. once adds are dead Hanvar will start taking damage then all on him... hope this helps

Hanvar dropped Muramite Cruelty Medal today

ah a name caller. how classy.

bolas is ogre. not moron.

Ok I'm anguish flagged now! I'll let ya know what I see drop from this guy if we ever drop him. :)

-Bolas

To those asking.. no I'm not anguish flagged. I didn't personally see him drop that ring, I heard it came from him and saw the link in a serverwide chat. So I can't personally vouch for the accuracy of that drop, my apologies.

-Bolas

Looks like he just dropped "Ring of the Beast".
