Zordak Ragefire (2.0)  

Yeah, I agree this mob is tougher than I expected. He's "only" level 76 but he IS a dragon, after alll and they're usually under-cons. This was a bit of a fight, with lots of dis-spelling going on and my warrior, with his 800 resists, actually got FEARED for a few seconds. Result was never in doubt, since none of my boxed toons every dropped below 70%. But don't commence this fight assuming that victory will be entirely trivial. At least it requires some effort!

Killed with a 90/6k mage and T5 cleric merc. Camped out lowbie cleric after turning in for two reasons: I'm not too good at boxing, and he was low enough to be a liability anyways.

Didn't bother trying to nuke or even use gargs on Zordak, just slow dps in between add spawns. I kept shadowflares and bodyguard up on myself (shadowflares on merc also)and tanked adds when they spawned, using gargs on them too. Used perfected lev and instaclicky to prevent too much dispelling, and group lev + see invis on pet.

Took about 5 minutes, merc finished up fom cause it was just chain casting RGC the entire fight, I had to do most of the healing (pet and myself), I finished up with about 80m.

This mob is not level 76. He conned red to my level 75 cleric and his friends that spawn with him were dark blue. So, that would make him at least level 80+. Please make the correction so folks don't show up with group of 75ish toons thinking "Oh yeah, this should be no problem". And, subsequently get hammered because they are under gunned.

Killed with my Duel Box, 1 85 cleric, 1 85 Shadowknight, 2 cleric mercs. SK was roughly 30k hp, 4300 AC at the time of encounter, cleric about 30khp / 24k mana. Mercs were Void D versions.

The dispel takes off the first slot it sees, and is not random. Bring instaclicks clicks (at least two, preferably three). Watch out for any ATK instabuffs because deathly chants will eat it before the dispel. I was unable to resist the dispel most of the time even at maxxed resists.

Make sure to keep a hot on the tank and frequently redo promised spells. If the healers get feared, this will save your ass. Having a fearless tank made this a helluva lot easier as well, as did AE aggro when he sh*ts adds.

Adds spawn at percentiles, but I'm not sure exactly when. He popped 2 once, then 4 once, then 2 once. Adds have significant HP and are totally resistant to magic (resisted lifetaps and turn undead. Yes, they are undead). Ragefire did not enrage.

This was actually a fairly easy fight, but long, even if my explanation of the encounter makes it sound otherwise... he died on first attempt without any kiting or rezzing or other bullsh*t. Cleric went low on mana because I was largely using him for damage. Mercs ended fight with about 55% mana, main cleric at 30%, SK was OOM from pumping out dots (magic has a hard time landing, this includes lifetaps. Don't bother slowing).

Good luck, and I hope my synopsis helps you :)

Not that it terribly matters, but it also dropped

• Versluierd Fungus
• Exquisite Animal Pelt

If you have enough range DPS can just kite him the whole fight. Just have a fearless SK kite him around.

Just 1 grouped him, 2 monk, 2 warr, 2 cler. I guess the fact that all 6 were top 15 serverwide didn't help.. Hell of a fight, took 30 mins, in the end had to kite him around Golra isle for 20 mins to rez after a wipe on last wave of adds. Big thanks to Goodurden, Moscato, and Cocodrilo/Terese for getting cleric epic!

Our guild just did this fight x4 last night. There is a lot of excellent information out there and a bit more I can hopefully add.

First of all, the kiting idea is a fantastic one. In addition, having a designated dragger and rezzer in the underwater tunnel was also golden, as it is the sole reason we won on our first attempt. We adjusted our strategy, which was based mostly upon info here and on Cleric boards, after our first attempt due to the following information:

First of all, all forms of Gefaari Drokaz and Zordak Ragefire AE Rampage. Nothing like all melee getting quaded for 2k a pop when you're not expecting it. Yes, AE's are a royal pain but those were planned for. AE Ramp was not so we had to make some adjustments. Max melee range for all DPS. Rangers switched to range attack and snare duty. Heal potions ftw.

Second, we found it best to have our main tank (along with assigned Druid for heals and Ranger for snares) to start kiting at 62%, 32%, and 22% respectively. That way, adds always spawned away from the squishy Clerics. (FYI, we fought in the Oasis where turn in is done.) This worked out beautifully as the adds almost always spawned right at the shoreline and always went for melee instead of casters/priests.

In addition, Zordak is unslowable but can be malo'd, tash'd, snared, and crippled. Due to AE ramp, I highly suggest you cripple him asap and keep him that way. Adds cannot be rooted but can be snared fairly easily.

Also, it seemed as though we were always stunned the moment adds spawned. Be prepared for it, and things will go smoother. We had healers pop an AE HoT just before the last two waves of adds. Make sure healers know to switch heal targets to whoever is tanking the minions. Don't announce for Main Tank to come back from kiting until everyone is ready, even if adds are down. This is your chance to recuperate.

Lastly, Zordak started casting AE Fear at 30%, not 20% as previously described. In addition, the way in which he steps up his DPS is to go on a streak of AE Rampages. Be prepared for this increase in DPS and possibility for being Feared.

Hope this information was useful,

We did him tonight with 18 people - 1 cleric

It was tough but he went down!!

CoA geared.. Warrior kited first half, then wizzard with a ranger on snares.

Are the adds spawned on a timer or by %? How many adds per wave? how many waves?

I just got done... Doing him.
Took 46 Anguish Geared Folk and alot of time.
Ya, this guys a tough cookie to break.
But 1 happy-@$$ cleric in the longrun.

You think hes hard. Try kill The Melee Invulnerable Genie up in old school PoSky with... Melee! :D .. Or was it PoAir?

Oh Well! Food for thought! ~ Merry Christmas.
