Yar`Lir the Living Storm  

Completed DoN 4 progression tonight with a 6 box. 85 monk/cleric/shaman/rogue/warrior/bard. Characters are all around 30-35k hp buffed.

1. Goblin dojo was easy, most of the time was spent waiting for the next wave. Listlessness + erud's retort kept toons at 100% through entire fight.

2. Sand guardian was more annoying. His gflux still hit my toons with max resists + bard song. Still had adds. After he died monk whirlwind + Destructive force killed adds in 10 seconds. Listlessness + erud's worked fine on this event too. One or two heals were needed.

3. Yar'lir was a bit more difficult. Her gflux still messed up the positioning of my toons and it was very annoying. Fight took about 20 minutes with /autoattack and no specials. Most of my time was spent repositioning toons and healing every now and then with cleric. Her DPS was very low. Rarely I had to off tank blizzards with my monk and they were very easy to kill.

Completed all 3 events in about an hour and a half once I got started.

Just took her down as an 85 sk with my 85 beast bot. Tier 3ish geared 85 druid was only healer and had my 85 warrior brother along with his 80 necro bot.

Fight took 31 minutes and Yar parsed as having about 5.5 million hp.

I tanked on Sk and AE aggroed the adds.

I kept paragon on the druid and my SK and it was an easy fight.

I suggest putting one highly aa'd melee dps on the adds rather than dps through them simply for the exp. Killing the adds as a group of 5 was very simple and resulted in 2 aa over the 31 minutes it took to kill her. There was no issue in killing the adds, they are very low hp. I kept aggro on adds using AE's with SK and simply dpsed them down one at a time with melee and pet (no nukes, saved those for yar when they would land)on my beast with no help.

I used the best pet proc slow and even unslowed Yar's dps was minimal.

I probably could have self healed through the whole thing but boxing as MT and trying to dps adds and keep SK paragoned would have been difficult and I didn't feel like slipping up, catching a bad round and leaving the beast to pet tank >.<

Having tier 4 progression done makes me happy >.<

GL to those of you who try this, it's super easy now and the clicky ds is on my list.

We killed Yar'lir tonight with a mini raid. Raid was SK, SK's cleric box, druid, necro, rogue, zerker, chanter and chanter's cleric box. Most of the toons were mix of TSS/Solteris/Crystallos group geared, 1500-2500 AA's.

The fight lasted a long time, but was not too bad, and I believe with the right group and high DPS, this fight could be one grouped.

she was using a new spell i never noticed hit me before tonight, forcequake
1: Decrease Mana by 150 per tick
2: Decrease Hitpoints by 2500 per tick
Target Type: PB AE
Resist Adjust: -1000 magic
AE Range: 75

the mana drain portion blowed
cleric used purify on herself to cure it.. and respledent cure cured it as well. No counters on it so RGC/poison/diesease cure won't work

I didn't see any mention of it here, but this mob has a nasty knockback component in it's AOEs that may be unresistable. With All resists maxed out at 625, most of the damage from AOEs was resisted, but I was flying all over the place, even with levitate on.

How hard does Yar'Lir hit? Slowable? rampages? flurry? infuriates?

Thanks ahead of time.

The person stating adds at 15%, wrong, adds have spawned for us, each attempt, at 70%...

The door opens at various times of the fight, but we haven't figured out if that's a good thing or not.

There's some "safer" areas, some people report that hanging around in front of the ponds was safe. Others stated that under the porches was good, and still others report that standing against the door is pretty safe.

One thing that all seem to agree on is to NOT stay in front of her face.

So far we have been unsuccessfull with this mob, our best progress has been 32%.

When the mobs do spawn, I checked track and there was 5 at the time I checked it. I was too busy doing other things to keep checking it. Though someone reported that once Yar'lir changes forms her adds die.

Anyone know if standing outside after the event starts is a workable strategy?

Re: info on different forms:

Yar Lir changes into all these different forms during the fight, so there is no need for separate listings, and there is only one loot table.

HERE IS YOUR SPOILER : HAVE A CLERIC OR PALLY IN EACH GROUP, CAST GROUP HEALS, LIVE THROUGH 4K AE, USE DPS ON DRAGON, STAY AWAY FROM PILLARS, KILL ADDS AT 15 % WIN FIGHT GG

From what i remember from the yar'lir fight she did not have any 600 magic dd ae, i think that spell is wrong. I remember her using several different dd aes againist the raid depending on what her name had changed to. Maybe the person who added that ae meant The cone of storms?
