Soliadal the Timid  

his three self buffs are:
Soliadal looks upset as it conjures some or it's defenses : Soliadal the Timid (Upset) - http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=31177
(not sure of the text for this one) - http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=31178
Soliadal looks Worried as it conjures some or it's defenses : Soliadal the Timid (Worried)Worried - http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=31179

If you back off you get an on screen warning in green "Soliadal looks calmer as it lowers it's protective mirror." and he'll go down a level and rebuff tot that stage.

Basically the way his effect works is as your DPS (sustained) increases his effects become worse and worse. Also possible it's % based, meaning that if you chunk him down, he'll immediately roll your face.

Either way, I had my pally tank him and bard sing max defensive. Was about a 15 min fight with just 1 person attacking, but he never used any of his effects. I tested several times breaking 10k DPS (by adding my ranger melee) and he would get 'upset' every single time I broke 10k dps.

ok heres how this guy breaks down
he goes into three modes with three different DS, one mode is worried, this i believe is the mode he brings his massive meelee ds, u life for three hits with 80k hp and full ds resists
this spell looks like a skull when u have him targeted

the second is when he is panicking, this is a bright looking shield icon that does massive damage for and dd or dot spells that are cast on him when it is live

the third is concerned i believe and this ds didn't seem to have any significant effect, so i just fought through it as normal.

to box this it is very difficult u need to stop ur meelee fighters in about 4 seconds from when the skull drops or they will all wipe, i managed this with consistent success by using 2 merc clerics and a mage pet tank with everyone else doing spell damage, and i lost the bard couple times due to chain doting, but that was much of a loss anyway.

needless to say 5 wipes trying to figure thi guy out and all he drops is the dumb aug, rings here i come
gl guys this fight requires close attention to detail. u will get green emote every time he lowers his defenses, but u can just watch the spell icons on his target id, its a much easy-er way to watch the fight

Spawned for me in the hall in upper library arcane tower.
