Lady Vox  

If Vox is only lvl 55, why cant 1 or 2 lvl 60's solo her???

And just WHY you say? Ro's Fiery Sundering, debuffs fire resistance, among other things. Bad fire resistance + fire resistance debuff = LOTS OF NUKER CARNAGE from mages, wizzies, and druids. Oh, and the 50+ pallies there who have the pally FIRE BASED NUKE

Just to add information here in the forum.

Vox dropped the lvl 49 wizard spell Ice Comet!

Woot! Being the lowest level on the raid 45 I was overjoyed when nobody else but myself rolled on this item, and by default, won this spell. :-)

By the way, my group, got the xp for the Vox kill, and 3 in my group had ran into the pit just before the fighting started, leaving a monk, an enchanter and myself a wizz. The monk died quick because of the lack of any healers (its difficult to heal from a lava pit). I had casted conflag. 3 to 4 times each hitting for 610damage, the last being the death blow to Vox. What does this imply? That I had probably caused amongst the greatest damage (surprising to me), and, that for future raids, invite wizards(who naturally have a better ability to land their spells, and for full damage) from level 44 upwards (the level they get conflag.). Ofcourse they have to have a high magic and cold resist before even considering - I had, unbuffed, 69 magic resist, and 113 cold resist.

I know that the above was a shameless plug for young wizards, however, given our lack of desirability in normal groups (for heck knows why) I am glad their is a good use for wizards on important raids (pre 53). So you would be a fool to reject any wizzies 44 and higher for this raid. (They have to have the appropriate unbuffed resistance to cold/magic ofcourse).

What is the common drop off of Vox? Someone told me she usually drops at least the eyepatch or the rbb, and it's rare for neither of those to drop.

I have been on many, many Vox raids. I hold the white dragon scale for my epic. Let me get a few misconceptions out of the way.

Vox can be done, reliably, with about 40 people. The battle lasts around 3 minutes.

I've never seen stun used to keep her from healing. It's always been mana sieve. At least...on the successful raids.

Vox does not give Ring of Scale faction any longer. She gives a Vox hit and a Nagafen hit, just like the ice goblins now. You start out at apprehensive faction with Ring of Scale -- I wouldn't worry. Check Gorenaire or Talendor or the others to see what your faction is at. Just don't use wolf form or skelly form around those dragons.

No one in their right mind would attack Vox without first pulling the giants out of the lair. Just be careful to make sure Vox is not residually agro -- use bind sight (by targeting the rock in the king room). If she's running into the wall and warping back to her spawn point, she's agro.

Typically, the raid leaders require 80 or 90 cold resist, minimum, unbuffed. There is some evidence to suggest that if your buffed cold resistance exceeds 255, that it may reset, even though it displays on your screen as 256+. I'm currently talking with the raid leader about this and we're experimenting.

Max damage on Vox's breath is 500 damage. Least I've ever taken is 15 damage, that with 254 CR, but it was the rare exception, I usually take a lot more. She is capable of doing it every 10 seconds, but she's usually slow on the uptake -- casting, fearing, summoning, eating people, etc. She is capable of fearing every 30 seconds, but again, she might be doing something else.

She drops the scale fairly often -- I couldn't tell you with any certainty how often, because the number of...successful...raids I've been on is 3. No scale first time, 1 scale next time, 2 scales last time. They are not lore. They are droppable/tradable as well.

Pets? Pets are a million problems in one small package. We never use them. Think about fear, eh?

The pits are full of bears, and if you fall in, we all laugh at you and point fingers because you're holding the raid up. I've never seen a Vox raid that cleared the bear pits.

It's not really feasible to run around the corner for heals, not like in Nag raids. Clerics are in the middle of the fray.

Corpse retrieval is best done by someone 53+ that is able to sneak. And it takes forever.

Lastly, my unbuffed magic resist is 54, and I've never been feared by Vox since I hit level 51. Before level 51, fear hit me every time. In my log, before level 51, I'd get two messages:

"You lose control of yourself!
You resist the Dragon Roar spell!"

or sometimes:

"You lose control of yourself!
You lose control of yourself!"

But now, at level 51, even if I don't resist it, the icon appears in my buff box and nothing happens. I don't run, even though I'm feared, have full control of myself, and at the end of the duration, it tells me I regain control, which I've had all along.

/tell me if you want any clarification on this stuff. Vox raids are awesome.

A raid is as good as the person leading it. It doesnt matter the numbers you have! frankly i dont care if you hav 1 member or 100 you still ahve the same chance unless you can organize it as such.

1)5 to 6 49+ chanter to take mana - necros to give to chanters
2)cleric in all grps DONT CH grp members it takes too long
3)good meat shields with good resists - crap resists go for crap force

you can win a raid if organized like this with maybe 5 6 or 7 grps. She is hard enought say even if you had 100 players that doesnt mean over kill that could mean multiple hour CR if you fail.

forgot to say BRING A ROGUE! ever try CR without one? its hell because either you have a necro summoning or a monk FD dragging them. FD dragging takes so frickin long it aint worth it plus monk is at uber risk.

as for the lvl a lvl 53 plus can go as far as the rock door you must pass.

If your a necro or gnome and maybe other small races i dunno you can see vox through the wall of king room (necro use CoB)

NOTE this is all gathered from xp on raids. I maybe lucky (rolled perfect 500 outta 500 on staff of forbidden rites on first sucessful raid) but i know what I am saying. dont get stingy on the peridots clerics or who ever is supplyin em cause you will need them

i definitly need to have a say on this one,
so what if a level 57-60 charicter can con a dragon blue, thats what makes the evolution of this game so great. Theres much greater dragons to kill that are harder if ya want and its only fair to go back pick off a lesser dragon for fun sometimes. who cares if its to easy i think by level 60 you should have earned the right to do that, and the stuff you get isnt that great anymore because of the drops off the harder dragons. by my opinion this is the BIGGEST mistake Verent has ever made,.. then again i havent been playin for more than 6 months, so I must have missed some nasty verent mishaps,.. LOL

raided vox last night for the 1st time ever for me... and i won a roll on a RBB!!! im a lucky ####
