If a pal or cleric tanks using DA will the life tap still proc? if not this seems better because repost lasts 9 seconds but DA 18 seconds.

Emperior Quinn of Valilnore
Fennen Ro
Venril Sathir
Raid Encounter
Uploaded July 24th, 2007
In the Tower of Frozen Shadow: Part of the fifth encounter within the Tower of Frozen Shadow anniversary raid (see this quest entry for raid information).
In Karnor's Castle:
The Main items in his loot table are the Leggings for the various Kunark Class specific armor, as well as a line of two handed blunt staves for casters.
|
Background: Venril Sathir was the leader of the Iksar Empire who united the five tribes and brought them together to conquer most of the continent of Kunark.
Their rising power eventually attracted the attention of the Lords of the Ring of Scale (read: the Dragons of Veeshan's Peak). It was the mighty Trakanon who took it upon himself to wreak war upon the Iksar Empire, casting down this Necromancer leader.
Venril Sathir managed to cheat death somehow and now focuses on regaining the Iksar throne from his stronghold in Karnor's Castle.

Two major things wrong with this...one, where's the rogue that picked the lock to the arena where VS spawns and how in the world did you manage not to train everything from skele cap and the room below into the arena with you and two, he not only ae lifetaps but when aggro is cleared he regens like a mad man and the length of time it takes to get back to his lair would put him at nearly full health by the time you got there. Next time, think out your lies before you try to make it a strategy because it's more than obvious you never did this =P

Venril Sathir is of course found in Karnors Castle. He's on the main floor, just keep heading back, and you'll get to him.
It takes a prepared, skilled raiding party all of about 20 mins to kill him from start to finish, assuming you're all in Karnors to begin with.
Here's the general guide:
You'll need 2 enchanters, one high level tank, a couple rogues or wizards. Everything else is optional and can be swapped in depending on who is available. Reccommend about 18 people for maximum effeciency, though 12 shouldn't have a problem.
Once you've cleared to the large square room next to his, have the monks feign pull all the trash from around him, while the group buffs up. Standard buffs here, speed clarity, Cleric HP/Ac stuff. The one difference is that all mellee classes need to have Rune V on them. Med up and get ready to go.
The reason you use Rune 5 is that it stops the lifetap. As I understand it, the lifetap doesn't even wear away the Rune on the tank, so for a rogue, monk or ranger who's not supposed to be the target of his agressions, they will never get hit by the AE with one Rune.
The goal is to have the main tank keep him busy and focused on themselves. The enchanter chain cast Rune 5 and Bedlam to keep VS from tapping the tank. (His melee does wear away the runes of course). If he gets a life tap onto anyone it gives him about 1500 HP per person, so you can picture the futility of trying to kill him without stopping the taps.
He only has about 18,000 hit points, so your goal as a group is to kill him as fast as possible. Rogues, especially those with Ragebringer; Wizards, epecially those with Lures; combined with other high damage output can make the actual fight with Venril himself take less than 12 seconds. Every second he lives, your chances of succeeding go down.
He drops spells, the Kunark leggings, and some PoS staffs. It's generally advised to bring one of every class who might need his leggings or muphies law ends up with legs dropping that noone can use. At least they're not NODROP.
Hope that helps people out.

Hmm, I'm curious. How do the enchanters keep aggro off of them and onto the tanks? Chain casting Rune V is TONS of aggro, that's the equivalent of nuking him every five seconds for 700, or healing every five seconds for 700.
Reoccuring amnesia? Given the fact that the fight is supposed to last mere seconds, at most the 'chanter is probably casting three to five times, but still, that's a lot of aggro, and we aren't known for our tanking ability, even with Rune V up =P

You keep him on the main tank like this: the main tank goes in and solos (yes solos) VS for about 5 sec while 2 chanters chain rune him. then, all the riposters on the raid go in and start going at him, chanters keep the rune up. 5 sec after that, the rest of the tanks go in. chanters try to keep the rune up on main tank still, while all clerics monitor main tank and their group. when sathir is around 40%, call everyone else to burn his *** down. when propberly prepared, Venril is weak as a kitten.

Great post. I just went on a venril sathir raid and it took about 1 minute or so to kill him. We had about 3 groups, of course the main tank had Rune being chain cast on him. He hits for double 300's. We had about 6 tanks on him. He didn't last long and there was no problem. No one died. Flawless kill on Druzzil Ro.

You're quite right and considering that I try not to be a loot ***** myself I've restated to indicate that while a rogue with ragebringer is possibly the best source of damage, it's not the only way to get it done.

trying to organize my guild to take him down. i'm doing research all on my own and am not the greatest at internet research :). Xitara's strategy helped me a lot in understanding how to kill him, but there are a few things i need to know before that. i need to know, what mobs are in his room and hopefully know what's along the way to the room. i can't seem to find a decent map of karnors with listings of what stands where or where he is himself for that matter. i'm not familiar with the basement in the slightest and would find this really important to know before we go in and try to kill him. anyone able to help me with this or link me to a site with the kind of map i'm looking for? also curious about vs's summoning. is he like ct where he'll just summon anyone in the zone if he's up or is there a certain range? i've never seen this guy up :P.
I haven't really looked into his room when there is a full spawn, but I think there is at least 3 other mobs in there with him. Spectral Protectors, Spectral Knights and other stuff. He can summon, but theres no reason for him to summon someone at the zone who isn't aggro or anything like that. If you can keep Venril aggroed on the main tank, theres no reason for him to summon at all.

You won't find him up unless you are part of a HUGE guild. All the uber guilds have him timed and it has been noticed that some guild's will have one person camped there to confirm his pop then imediatly head in and take him down. Other Huge guilds just time it and all go in and wait for him to pop. He usually lives for like 5 minutes at the most when he pops. Good Luck.
Anonymous
curious how many of those items he averagely drops at a time. like 1 or 2 or 5-10.
The key classes for this encounter are:
Ranger/Druid
Wizards with 'lure' type spells
Necromancers
Enchanters
1 high level warrior with low delay weapons
All other melees using slow delay weapons
A shaman
PREPARATION
Begin by having your druid/ranger cast harmony on VS so you can pull his friends from the room. Keep casting harmony until VS is solo in the room.
When VS is solo, cast rune V on the warrior with the low delay weapons (we'll call him the main tank). If you can spare the mana, rune the other melees but its not neccessary if they can control their aggro.
When the main tank is fully buffed and runed its time to get into position. Wizards enter the room and hug the wall on their right. Melees get BEHIND VS, the main tank faces VS. All the other people can stay outside the room and kill respawns if they happen to come by. Necromancers must choose a target to twitch for the fight. High twitching priority goes to enchanters and your highest level wizards. NO PETS ALLOWED! Attacking VS with pets gives him a perfect oppurtunity for lifetaps. Don't forget to keep VS harmonied during all this setup time.
FIGHT
This is how the fight goes:
The main tank will start attacking VS by himself for a few moments to build up aggro, enchanters will start chain-casting rune on the main tank so that VS cannot lifetap.
When sufficient aggro has been built up, it's time to bring in the reinforcements. All other melees start attacking with slow weapons, shaman casts malo and slow, and your wizards start nuking with lure spells. Necromancers twitch enchanters and wizards.
The main thing here is speed and aggro. If you don't kill him fast enough, the enchanters will run out of mana to run and then VS will start lifetapping. If he doesn't stay aggro on the main tank, he will switch targets and start lifetapping.
Using this strategy you should have no problems killing Venril Sathir as long as everyone stays focused and watches their aggro. Good Luck!

Don't blow things out of proportion. You honestly think we've fought Trakanon 501 times? Give me a break. Yes we've won against him only once. But what does that have to do with our Venril Sathir tactic? This tactic works and anyone who executes it will win guaranteed. Go post your senseless flames elsewhere, cause they don't belong here.

how long (seconds) do you think it took to build up the warrior's aggro before others were allowed to attack.

How do you make as much agro as possible while keep enchanter out of agro ?
Simple: Use Reposte Discipline together with high damage weapon (delay doesnt matter for reposte). With a 50dmg 2h sword a 55+ Warrior does enough damage within the 9s of the reposte disci to keep mob all fight on him.

i'm trying to arrange my guild to take vs on, with this plan, how would you suggest setting up the groups? how many people do you think is needed minimum to do this and what is minimum lvl? especially minimum lvl of the ranger/druid casting harmony...
3-4 groups lvl 55+ should be able to take him.
Your wizards should be at least lvl 52 for lure spells but the higher level the better. You'll need 2 enchanters for rune spells. Clerics are hardly needed here cause the rune will negate all damage on the main tank, but you'll want to being one anyways incase things go bad and you have to camp out.
As for druid/ranger casting harmony, I guess level 50 should be sufficient. Good luck.

What about using Root to make sure he stays aggroed on the main take. If the root would stick then all the main tank has to do is be the closest to VS and he will be the only one attacked
Anonymous
As far as I know not many spells will land on VS even Lures have limited effect on him.
So rooting is not a good option. Also casting root or snare type spells are highly agro and if you attract his attention frm the main tank you will certainly lose.
Obviously the higher level folks you have there will be the key to you winning the fight. My wizard is only 54 so VS conned yellow to him. Only 1/2 the lures I cast on him stuck. The level 56 Wizzy we had said more like 60 to 75% of his stuck.
No doubt that VS only being 55 is one of the toughest fights I have been in for his level. Focus is a MUST. Once he lifetaps one time the fight is just about over. Very disheartening to see him go from only 30% health to Full health in a matter of seconds.
the plan laid out here DOES work. I did not know about the Harmony bit but I believe from the failed attempts I have seen when a train from nowhere comes to wipe out the bunch then VS is suddenly agro I can see now the reason why.
There is a Bunch of misinformation from dweebs that have never even seen VS coming up with "hey maybe this will work" crop that have no clue.
Key is to keep the agro on ONE person, Keep rune on him. when VS gets down 1/2 life or a lil more even start the wizzy blast session.

Might work, but too many things can go wrong. For instance it's kinda hard to judge who exactly is "closest". Also, mobs tend to move around a bit when they are being meleed. It's probably just better to have the main tank taunt and no one else.
Anonymous
One note on Taunt, have the secondary warriors and other classes that have the Taunt skill MOVE the taunt key from the first page of hotkeys. I have a habit of hitting my taunt and kick at the same time.
Seriously if you taunt VS when you are not the main tank you can lose the battle for the entire bunch. All the tanks should have rune, if you DO get hit stop attacking MOVE back ask for rune again and go back into battle. You are not helping the fight when you allow yourself to get lifetapped.

Malo yeah, but yawn imho is just too risky. Too likely to draw an aggro, and venril is such a fast fight (30 seconds maybe?) that you're almost better off just forgetting it and nuking him into the ground.
true, can probably forget about slow spells. Guess I was getting over-confident ;)

Clear you have never seen VS. Please do not post crap here. You are not helping anyone with BS like this. If the Wizards land a 630 HP Lure then they will give up 1500 HPs when they get hit by VS. Sounds like you really have a plan here.
Necro dots will prob not land, Pets will be nothing but Lifetap fodder for VS.
Clerics serve no purpose in the actual fight whatsoever.
If you EVER get into a situation with VS where you are healing anyone you are have already lost.
The key is keeping RUNE on one main tank. Controlling agro followed by blasting by as many wizards as you can get that have Lure spells.

Um you need tanks with reposite discipline. You obviously never fought this guy. He has a 1500 damage or so life tap punch on each shot!!!!
He is either dead in the first 20 seconds or everyone else is.

Life tap is his critical point. Get too much life tap means jsut lost. We lost 3times with him ban... i hard life tap could possibly immuted by Rune form Enc. Is it true? Even invinsible skill with lvl50over tanks is hard to evade his life tap. We need extra way to get rid of his life taps. Chain Rune. If Rune could kill life taps, it will be main part of stretagy with VS. If you konw info about rune whith VS, please response me. thank you.

Think it was something like this:
To escape death Venril entered an alliance with Innoruuk, who is at war with Cazic Thule, the Iksar god.

In the past, he's been killed in a pretty specific way. Here's the deal. His lifetap isn't a cast--it is a proc from his normal attacks, and it's about 700hp...per hit. If he double or triple hits, you're looking at 1400 or more damage from you to him. He was taken out not too long ago by a (very) large group of 49+ wizzies. Each of these guys knew ice comet (for those of you who don't know, that's a 1200dd spell, depending on resists) or something better. I don't know the higher 50+ line of wizard spells. All they did--once they got to him with some help from a cleric/tank guild, was nuke him. Insanely. 20 IC's, so I heard, and he died. Might have been a few more, cuz he has a fairly high resist. He did kill a couple wizzies, with one or two hits, but it worked. Chain stun won't work on him, though, because for whatever reason he resists spells from anything other than a wizard. Dont't ask me why, I don't know. I didn't kill him, but I got to watch as a 52 mage poking around for interesting Karnor's stuff.
Once again, chain stun don't work, mass nuke does. Pity he doesn't usually drop good wizard gear.

Sigh, geesh this is a crock of BS.
Ice comets will bounce off VS like nothing ever happened. (1120 damage too BTW, not 1200)Lures are the only spell that lands on VS with any regularity and that is resisted a lot too.
FYI bozo more spells land from Wizards due to the fact Wizards get a bonus starting at level 35 for a better chance to land a spell than any other class. The only offense they have so they get a Slight advantage for that.
Since you where not in the fight you did not see the tank taking all the agro or many of the other preparations that are needed (ie Rune) in order to keep the lifetap off him.
20 Wizards can not take on VS. If one or more died then the fight was probably over.

Firstly, not enough wizards know ice comet for this to work, and secondly, VS resists anything except lure spells like mad, so most of the Ice Comets wouldn't even get through.

In addition to the wizzies, the groups have been known to send in tanks with the riposte discipline up. Takes about 30secs to kill or you're dead basically.

Wizards kill him usually actually. With a near unresistable lure its quite easy. He usually doesn't last to long that way. Chain rune main tank and nuke to the ground. Thats the basics at least.
Get a brain and don't call people liars if you don't have a clue yourself.

Near unresistable Lure???? Sorry bubba, Lure is resisted by this guy about 50% to 30% of the time depending the the level of the Wizzy. We are talking 54 to level 58 wizards not 49 to 53. Been there on at least 5 fights, watched my 54 Wizard have 1/2 his Lures do nothing. Wizards are Key in the killing of VS no doubt. They are no way the only ones that need to show up like the original jackass is saying. And adding that Warriors sometime show up like they are not the main beggining to the fight as is with everyone else that has fought VS and won.

Listen, bro. I was just in on a VS killing. At level 52, i casted Lure about 6 or 7 times. All of them hit for full damage. Either your skills weren't up to par, or you're not a wizard. As a matter of fact, we had 3 or 4 wizards nuke him, same amount, with only one resist. I don't know what your problem in the fight was, but I think you had your IC button where your lure of frost button should be.

Wizards are a good part of the finishing off of VS but a runed main tank does a lot of the damage output.

he IS 55, he max hits for 330, he DOES life tap, his life tap IS a huge heal for him, a group of 25 lvl 50+ ppl lost to him.

Okay It sounds to me like we have people with no idea on how to take him out well if he is not highly resistent to magic I got two words for ya.... CHAIN STUN! Hell on Ec'i we took down Phinny in less than 3 minutes and he was changed stunned, while we took his Butt down. Phinny only got off one spell of an AoE disspell. Granted we had like four groups (LVLs 40-54) and a crap load of Pallies looking to grab a bone for some quest but Chain Stun works. Ya just need the wreckin crew to supply the support.

I'm only level 42 at the moment, so I haven't had the...errm...pleasure of meeting this guy. However, I'm not going to pretent I know anything (although from reading above, the wizards blasting him to death won't work)...I have to say that the two best strategies seem to be chain casting Rune IV or whatever it is...and probably my favorite was the spamming of riposte disciplines...that seemed awesome, he never gets an actual hit and therefore never lifetaps, plus you get tons of extra attacks from the ripostes...what a beauty of a plan...no doubt with 10-15 tanks (rogue, monk, warrior) doing that riposte discipline one or two at a time (what does it last...18 seconds?) That's a good 90-120 seconds you have of no damage taken...if you can't take down 18k HP in that time with blasting, hitting, or whatever you feel like doing, then you need to rethink your strategy, heck, at only level 42 I can solo-kill things with 2k hp in 90-120 seconds...30 people should be able to take down 18k hp in 90-120 seconds, 'specially if spells like Rend and nice 51+ spells aren't resisted (don't forget those air pets)!! Just my thoughts, I plan to kill this guy someday...with the help of some uber-guild of course :)

What is his magic resist like?
If it is not insane, get about 5 Enchanters up to him and spam him with Color-Stuns. He won't do ANYTHING.
I took out the Efreeti Lord at level 48 with 2 Enchanters and the Efreeti never did any damage to the party.

Does his Tap have a delay period in casting. Im a 55th monk and ive done a lot of big kills, Semms to me if his tap has a casting and efresh time he would be easy. If he is more like maestro then he's going to be a pain. id prolly send in one super buffed tanks in there to proc the frist tap, and have all other tanks bum rush him after that. Need to go full force at once cuz with a tap he is obviously gonna heal very fast so waves will NOT work. Group tanks with clerics and have mages send air pets in. Wizards run in to nuke and back out before he taps, and run inr ight after he taps to avoid helping him heal. With only 18k hp you should drop him in under 45 sseconds or youll have problems.

No, his lifetap is a melee proc. That's the hard part =) Wierd thing about fighting this guy is that if you don't kill him, by the time he is done killing everyone he'll be at full health; kind of funny.
