Wraith of a Shissar  

66 enchanter, max aa and merc. Went into fear, almost everything was dead except the 2 phoboplasms at the top. killed them and wondered around zone for a while then camped the top of temple and turned up the sound and played diablo 3. within an hour to an hour and a half tops, i heard a flapping sound and windowed over to find the prize.... so much for the bottle neck! the rest of the temple started popping as the shissar was going down.

This is my story:

On my second trip to the Plane of Fear the Wraith was indeed up. Before I could target her I was aggroed by four amygdalons. I ran with these to my group, which consisted of a 68 mage, 68 cleric, 61 enchanter, and myself a 70 Beastlord. The enchanter mezzed the little group and we took them out one at a time. I went back to the temple and the wraith aggroed and brought the rest of the temple with her. I ran straight north to the zone wall and took a left. I ran toward the west wall and then cut the corner (group was there) when the mage saw me run buy with my freight train she began to count to five. At the count of five she started casting Call of the Hero. By the time the spell went of I was by the fiend house. I poofed back to the group and immediately headed south again so I could see the temple occupants one by one heading back into the temple. As stated in previous posts, the wraith will stay put for quite a while. Told the group to run back down to the fiend house and finished her off with out any interruptions. This is not a short fight, but it was comfortable.

Of course for this to work you really need to have cleared a 'safety corridor' along the west wall so you don't get any surprised while you are running through or fighting the wraith.

The Tribunal

Finally decided to go to PoFear and see how fast I could die trying to get my Head of Shissar. Went there Sunday night with my 65 Shadow Knight, 64 Enchanter and 67 Druid and the place was cleared out execpt for the two photoplasm's at the top of the temple. I killed those and then sat and watch the wall for 4 hours with no sign of anything anywhere.
The one guy says he sat there and turned his volume up and went to sleep to be woke a couple of hour later getting hit by a "PH", killed it and went back to sleep only to be woke up a couple of hours later by Wraith of Shissar. I dont see how this could happen. I sat there in a cleaned out zone for 5+ hours and nothing at all.
So anywhere, I logged back in Monday morning ran my druid over to check for spawns. There were a lot of mobs up but not the Wraith of Shissar. Got home monday night logged in and ran the crew over most of the lower mobs were cleared, some ubers must have came and farmed the golems and taken much of the trash mobs with them. I finished clearing the wanderers, then cleared the temple and went up to the top and sat there again for about 3 hours with nothing.
Tuesday Afternoon I got home from work and logged the crew in and took them in. The southern half was pretty thin and no golems yet, either they were farmed again or hadent spawned yet (not familar with them). I cleared the wanderers and then again cleared the temple (with no Wraith). Sat there for about 2 hours before it was time to go to class. I FD'd the SK and logged out the chanter and druid. Went AFK, went to school. I got back 2.5 hours later to find everything just as I had left it and no Wraith. I checked my chat window to see if anything had happened and it was only guild chat. I went and heated up some dinner and sat down. Logged in the druid and chanter and rebuffed the SK and pet. Just started eating when low and behold Wraith of Shissar appears before my eyes. I couldnt believe it!
I promptly ran up and attacked, ran chanter up and tashed, slowed (resisted twice) and crippled (resisted once). Ran the druid up snared (landed first time). Tossed a couple of druid dots on it while me and the pets widdled her down. Fight took maybe 5 minutes, with a reslow/cripple about 50% and 2 rounds of druid dots and was actually a pretty easy fight.
I think the spawn time is somewhere between 48 and 60 hours. Unless someone did sneak in there and kill just her(not anything else in temple) when I was not there.
Hope this informative and entertaining :)

This was the 2nd last part in my pursuit of my epic, a long project on a casual-played account.

Flushed with success of nabbing the Ghost of Kindle in the Hole, my necro friend talked me into going into fear with him. I zoned in first. Spent a glorious short time running around while he zoned in and FD.

He dragged me to NW area of zone. While contemplating how he was going to go to the top of the temple to see if the Wraith was up... we noticed she was standing northwest of the temple among the trees. There were no others in Fear, nor any evidence of a raid/group wipe nor anyone for the 30 minutes we were in zone (travel-rez-med-buff and discuss strategy). The original epic quest posting says she can be found around the temple, pretty much all other posts say she is on top. I dunno.

I do know; we killed the wraith and I got my head. Necro was level 66, chanter level 67.

...now I head to Hate to try my luck

she is in fact at the top of temp encased in fire, spawns between two photoplasm's. hit me (61 sk around 1400 ac) for low 200's, also hit me with some kind of stun seemed to last upwards of 6 seconds. can be single pulled from temp tried 3 runs to see which one was most effective. run 1 zoned in fd'd at fire ring on outside of temp, cleared argo got up crossed ring steped on stairs going up and argo'd temp. run 2 zoned in ran stright up to stairs tried to fd but to many adds. run 3 zoned in ran to temp crossed fire ring and fd'd cleared argo ran to top she argo'd right as i saw her rand down stairs (about 7 add's 2 photo 2 arg war's and a few sk type mobs) fd'd all backed off but her. dunno if it was a bug but she never returned to spawn point. healed up a little (about 10 mins went by) she still stood there hit hide got up(dint see through it) ran back out through fire ring and fd'd and once again she followed and waited. Did no dmg at all to her during this. Imho can be duo'd but would advise one pet class, would also suggest a 60+ sk to pull her as the aa horse is a hotkey/instant cast/can be used while running.buffs did nothing here, was dispelled except for mount by the time i got to fire ring on all 3 runs. the fire ring also kills mount.

So I killed this chick last night. This is what we used and all the information I can give you.
66 enchanter just leveled with all spells. Mostly elemental gear.
56 cleric mostly ornate gear.
60 necromancer mostly ornate gear.
52 war. Junk gear boc was only good item he had.
This mob is on a 5 to 7 day spawn timer. She will not spawn when the zone pops after a patch.
She has between 10k-15k hit points.
She has an area effect stun it might snare also.
And here is how I did it.
The raith (Karana) server. She died at 2am 08-25-05
I zoned in to fear went north (I was invisible) then east to front area of the amy. temple I used cast site after targeting a protoplasum in the room she spawns in top floor in side fire ring.
Ok so necromancer your up sent in the necromancer to pull the temple. He used his devine ability that makes him immune to damage the hole temple chased him down and he died. (this was the plan).
Now here is where we thank sony for one good thing she is the last mob to go back to the temple (it seems always) you have a few minutes here don’t jump the gun. At this point the enchanter tashes here she comes with some normal zone adds. I mesmerize the adds with area effect mez.
I mez. Her with glamour low mana cost good mez.
Then I wait about 20 sec and mez. The adds in this place her high magic resistance is good she resist it and she comes free. So now you have just her pull her to the north west safe spot (north west corner of the zone on wall). Remez tash slow slow slow. War taunted her wile mezed 7 or 8 times. Then she broke cleric sent in his hammer pet (at this point we just want the regen to stop.
So enc pet in enc chain nooks took gather mana and about 25 nooks to drop here. Her ae. Was resisted buy me (the enc) every time 200+mr. Her dps sucks when slower cleric maybe used 5 ch on tank fight took about 6-10 minutes and I have the head. O and your mezed friends will not come to the safe camp if you get there before the mez drops. (that’s why I call it the safe spot). I wish you all good luck and hope this helps you all out. And to all of you who slay this pain in the but gratz job well done. Ps at 10% she will run she is slow but never the less it will make your hair stand up on back of your neck. From safe spot she runs due east. Try not to kill her in a tree.

who does she spawn off??? or timer or what?? please.

After reading the post about the druid and enchanter combo duoing Wraith of a Shissar I was inspired to try this with my friend. We had a 65 necro, 61 enchanter combo. Well, the short story is that we just did not have the dps needed to take her down. Her regen is insane.

We got her to 8% before being killed (necro used Lifeburn). Then tried again and got her to 27% before being killed (no Lifeburn that time). So we had to call in a few reinforcements to kill her. Finally took her out with a group of 4: 65 necro, 61 chanter, 60 cleric, 53 druid.

In addition, she is extremely magic resistant. After tashing her it took me 5 or 6 tries to slow her. If you are bringing casters to kill her bring a few of them because they're gonna waste a lot of mana on resists.

Spawn info for anyone tracking her for their epic:

Ok,
I have heard 3000 ways to pull this mob, to hunt this mob, and to kill this mob. I have one question....WHERE THE HECK IS THIS MOB?

All Allakhazam says is its in the Amagladyan Temple. There are several structures like temples here....Is it the big one? or where in zone? No Loc please, I suck at them LOL

Disclaimer: the following is not to be tried by the faint of heart.

During the last 5 yrs of playing EQ, i think tonight is probably my shining moment. Have 67 enchanter, decently geared, no elemental/time gear though. Have 67 druid similarly geared on 2nd account. Ench zoned into fear, headed East 40 feet, then north to the fire ring, into the fire ring, and around the outside edge, west then north, and popped out in safe camp North of the Temple.

There is a 50/50 chance that you'll be seen by a critter and then have a train following you. I've found from experimenting that once aggro'd, by running along the west side of the zone, you can out-distance the mobs enough to stop, make a baby turn to lock your position, and then immediately cast gate and get out with mobs not touching you. Scarelings are very very fast. I put up 8 or so dummy buffs, then HP buffs, then runes, and finally SoE in the 14th or so slot. If you lose SoE, better head to safe camp at North of Temple and try to get gate off, and if you can't at least you are in a rezzable spot for CR. Even Run5 isn't quite fast enough, so protect SoE with TONS of buffs.

After getting Ench camped out safely in North camp, i zoned in the Druid and headed North West knowing that i'd catch a see invis. After having a few mobs on her, i then headed to west side of fire ring, through the ring, then did a large clockwise circle around the Temple. Because of massive aggro/assist range, the Temple emptied behind her, including the Wraith. Then when i did nearly a full circle, i headed West to the zone line. I had BoR on Druid to make sure gate got off asap, and when i stopped, and casted gate, saw the scarelings and the Wraith close, but got gate off with a second to spare.

Ok, you're thinking.... what is the point of all of this!?! Turns out, once you poof, all of the mobs scatter... except one. The Wraith doesn't move for a while. Druid was bound just outside Fear, and zoned immediately back in. Headed same pattern to the fire ring, and when i came out near North camp, the Wraith was just starting to head back to the temple. When it was just about to the fire ring, it aggro'd on the druid, took 3 attempts to snare it, but then kited it in circles around North camp until the ench logged in.

Ench logs in and casts Rapture on it. 42 secs to tash, and get Dazzle to stick. Then you are home free. Hand of Ro is a must (fire debuff), of course now you have time to cast slow on it a few times. When fully debuffed, time to wake and kill.

The Wraith has decent regen (seemed about 200-300 hps/tick). Swarming Death (big druid dot) was never resisted, and that basically put the Wraith's regen back near zero. Fire nukes and Insanity mostly landed. Insanity usually landing for less than full. About 6 to 7 mins to kill. Oh, make sure Ench has pet out and hasted.

I also had my 57 cleric camped in North Camp to rez in case of bad things happening. You should definitely convince a cleric to come with you. Same drill as the others. If he/she gets aggro making way to camp, just make looonnngg passes up and down the west side until you have room to cast gate. There is no hurry on this! Very important point. If you need to kite for 10 mins to get out safely, it's much better than CR'ing.

Still can't believe i pulled this off tonight. I did try last night, and it didn't go so well, as I was learning and getting all the info/techniques down. Cleric's epic was busy hehe.

p.s. Exodus is nerfed in PoFear. Can't use it there, that was a death to find that out lol.

Not sure if this is a glitch, but bard tried to use FM in Fear the other night and she got a message saying something to the effect that she could not do that in that zone. /shrug Hopefully it is just a glitch and SoE will fix it.

Why does it have to be a Druid with max tracking. Rangers are far better at tracking than Druids.
If you want healing and DoTs you call a Druid.
If you want DPS and tracking you call a Ranger.

Was just shocked they only mention druid for tracking is all.

Took her down tonight with 65 necro, 65 druid, and 65 chanter. cleared part of fear, necro pulled the whole temple, fd, all mobs wander back but this chick

tagged with chanter, kited while necro made up pet, sent in pet.

chanter slowed, resisted a couple of reslows was only tashed for debuffs.

druid put the ds on the pet and used epic and swarming death.

i was 2boxing between chanter and druid, just recasting dots, keeping slowed, and alternating nukes.

necro kept pet healed and kept the dots on.


very easy mob!

It is now the "Wraith of Shissar" (not Shissir).

According to the patch message, Wraith of a Shissir should no longer aggro mobs, and they should no longer retaliate. GREAT news for enchanters!

Anyone know if her spawn times have been changed? I heard it was. Anyone know the spawn time. I could have swore with the new patching, and she no longer being spawned by CT's death... that both wrath and CT can't be up at the same time. Can anyone confirm them bothing being up? ( Oct 25 2002 posting) Or a suggestion of where to camp an Fder to watch? Locs/Descripition? Can druid with max tracking track the Wraith at zone in or at the SE wall(the safe wall). Can anyone suggest a good place to snag a map of fear, only been there like 5 times in the last 2 years. allaz link doesn't seem to work. And finally last but not least any advice on how many groups you need to clear fear and pull the wrath. This is one of my last two loots I need( fear & hate). Any help would be much appreciated. If you don't feel replying here, you can also contact me with info @ scaevola16@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Went into Fear tonite. CT was up and shouting, had been for over 24 hours. On track : Wraith of a Shissir. Got her for another enchy in our guild. Hmm, I didn't think they could be up at the same time. But they were. We killed Shissir and attempted CT.

She is not indiff...she aggroed our monk....thankfully we had already been clearing temple in anticipation...had only one add, an amy, and we mezzed it while we killed her. She aggroed the monk tho while he was on bottom floor. SO be careful. The mobs in the temple kill each other, not just her. I was watching the screen on second PC and saw spam from amys killing glare lords, etc. That was before she even popped. So go in when you know shes due to pop, clear the temple, and wait....

Actually he was up, just apparently wasn't close enough to be on druid track. I lead a fear raid the next night, and CT was up. Several times when he was quiet we checked track and he didn't show, but then he would shout again. We watched him go down by the hands of another guild that night. /hugs that just really bytes. (I'm assuming I know who you are since that post sounds just like what happened the other night)

Ok, I have FINALLY finished my epic YAY!!! Just to help out, Shissar IS on a 7 day spawn time! Don't believe anyone telling you 2-3 days, this is what I have so far.

Saturday May18th-Shissar up
Saturday May25th-Shissar up
Tuesday May28th-Shissar up (one day after CT was killed)
Tueday June5th-Shissar up

The only thing that changes her spawn time (aside from any patches-can't confirm those) is the death of CT. They are still connected, regarless of what anyone tries to tell you. Once Cazic dies, one day later Shissar will spawn, and once killed, respawn 7 days later.

Good luck to you all, I hope this helps!!

Ok, my 53 Monk friend camped in fear for me (what a pal huh?) to get this last piece of my epic, the Shissar. I was talking to some other enchanters and they said that the Shissar doesnt shout at all anymore!! I kinda got worried, because the whole basis of him camping there was to watch for the 2hr shout. Can anyone confirm that she STILL does shout every 2 hours? And if so, can it be heard throughout the entire zone? Please say she does to put a worried enchanter's mind to rest =)
