Bazzt Zzzt  

she is a bee! she also has a very funny name.

Took this fatty out with 4 people, as well as everything prior. 70 Ranger, 70 Monk/box'd 70 Cleric and a 70 Shaman. DPS = you win.

but we finnaly nailed her the 2nd time we spawned her. SHe is A . Bad bee.


pain in the .... not fun.


Anyways she droped the Corrosive venom for a shammy club quest. She is Much harder that the Spiroc Lord. SL and KoS drop about the same.. this gal went thru us pretty bad. but She died. not looking forward to every having to kill her again. serious time sump.

Ok, what is the delay between each DT and is she slowable? i know nowdays a mob doubling for 850 is not an issue, still with 24 and not all of them 60 would be nice if shaman could slow it.

wel, technically there ARE better weapons then this "Bixie Sword Blade", there are several weapons with higher DMG then Delay, for instance soul defiler (probaby best 1hander in game) is 21dmg 19delay and it also has stats and a proc, i just think it's ****** up the pallies only get this beast, screw pallies.

I guess all the little bixies i have killed will get revenge in PoA. man, life sucks!

btw:
Haste per Verant can reduce a weapon down to the damage of the weapon +1 to a minimum of 7 delay. So a 6 damage weapon that you could get to a 7 delay would be the perfect weapon, but guess what? There are very few that you can possibly get to this stage. a 6/16 weapon would require a 129% haste modifier. 100 divided by 229 = .4367 x 16 = 6.99

Now how many 6/16 or better weapons are out there?
How many people can get to 129% haste? WR is 70% haste and the fastest haste item I know in the game is 40%. Will bardsong stack with these? If not I don't think there is a weapon in the game that can reach 6/7 at this time. Another thing to consider when choosing a weapon is one handers get a damage bonus to weapons with a delay of 24 or higher which is why the warrior epics can pump out the damage. 14/24 and a nice haste item gets you to the haste cap (14/15) with enchanters AQ or SOS. What is funny is the better haste you have available the better the lesser weapons get compared to an uber weapon i.e. a 6/24 weapon theoretically can reach 6/7 while the epics can only get to 14/15 it's just not possible to have so much haste, but you can see what I am talking about.

Wurmslayer and similar weapons are great because the larger the delay the greater reduction you get %wise to the weapon's base damage and are best used when you do not have and enchanter around for a nice haste buff. With WS the best you can get is a 25/26 ratio which only requires a haste of about 54%. 100/154=.649 x 40 = 25.97 so a shammie buff and an FBSS gets you close or to the haste cap of 26, but anything more 54% haste is wasted on a WS.

Bazzt Zzzt herself is easier than Trak, but the overall fight is of similar difficulty. She isn't just a normal spawn, she pops out of a series of tougher and tougher wasps.

She's roughly as big as a troll or ogre, and if you're quick, you can see some screen shots at http://affliction.fuxored.net/

She drops rare quest components, one of ours was an adamantite earring for the Enchie test of Displacement.

Alascariel, Affliction, E-Marr.

Who else things the guy above is lying out his arse?

Well from the brief descroption of how she fights I think she sounds as hard as Trak. She hits much harder than he does plus if she quads for 850, then she would kill another tank every round of battle. Sounds nearly impossible to take down. Jus curious what she drops.

Peace
