all the infor i have to help
# Aug 25 2005 at 12:44 PM Rating: Default
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.

One dead Wraith of a Shissar

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:
Killed at approx 1:30am Feb 20, 2005
Morden Rasp server

Got her
# Feb 06 2005 at 8:39 AM Rating: Default
Got her and finished my epic last night. I cleared the temple and sat at the very top where she spawns. I turned up the speakers real loud, and fell asleep. I woke up at 1:14AM to a regular flying madusa (G....something), I guess she has a placeholder? I killed the mob, went back to bed. at 2:07 I woke up to Wraith of Shissar smacking me around. Her regen is like previously stated about 300 a tick, and she hits for 250ish. But she went down at 2:15am (Eastern time) on Bristlebane server Sun Feb 6th... if anyones tracking.

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

The big one inside the ring of fire
RE: Where???
# Feb 07 2005 at 7:24 AM Rating: Decent
Yes, the big temple on the very north part of the zone encased in fire(practically the NW corner). She spawns on the very top of the temple. If you get close to the temple all guards inside will aggro. Maybe 20 mobs, a lot of which are SK's and nuke you for like 660 every now and then. I usually run close with a monk, FD in a clear area then peel 2-5 mobs out of the pack as they are walking back.
Anyone know the dmg?

Anyone know the statistics on this mob? HP? Dmg she hits for? Is the spawn time revamped to every 3 days now? Just some of the skinny im curious about. TY
Wraith dead while 2-boxing
# Oct 21 2004 at 11:46 PM Rating: Excellent

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.

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.

I was down in Kedge, when I discovered that my rogue Escape discipline didn't work, right after I accidentally aggro'ed Phinny. The bard also discovered he couldn't Fade mobs there either. I'm wondering if there are some other nasty hidden changes in old-world zone where epic mobs spawn.

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.

Not to mention I don't know many rangers that would be willin to hop into a fully popped fear solo to track a mob and blow a gate potion getting back out.

The reason there is only mention of druid track is because everyone knows the ranger track is better. By posting that a druid can track this mob lets everyone know by default a ranger can track it.
Has spawn time changed?
# Jan 10 2004 at 7:36 PM Rating: Decent
I assumed that the Wraith of a Shissar was on a one week spawn timer. Has this changed?

On January 2, my friends and I went to Fear to get several epic drops. Unfortunately, another guild beat us there and we only got one epic drop. In any case, the guild's raid leader sent a tell to our raid leader of when they killed her. I recorded the time and we set out to try again on January 9. We get to Fear and find that yet another guild has cleared Fear, but that the Wraith of a Shissar was not up. Knowing her death time and knowing she is a one week spawn, I wanted to wait for a bit. We stayed for one hour past her (January 2) death time and still no Wraith. Then, I was told that her spawn time could be one week plus up to 3 days after. I'm at a loss because I just don't know and I can't find any specific info. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 20 2003 at 3:38 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok, can be killed easily with 3-4 people. Bard to pull it out. Bard can gate and get back. All other mobs go away but she stays put. Neco to do damage. A 65 necros pet can tank it. Enc to slow it. Shaman to dot and heal. Shaman is not needed, but would help. It has massive regen and 2 necro dots = regen so you need more damage from bard who if bound in PoK can get back in time. If it was debuffed by the enc it is an easy kill. TO entice a bard, tell him/her that the amy's drop thier epic piece and there are many of them there.
RE: Easy to kill
# Mar 01 2004 at 3:03 AM Rating: Default
reason I said a bard should do it and gate is beacuse of the agro in PoF is messed up. This is before the FD 2 min and everyone forgets about you thing. And 2 of my necros dots was the same as the mobs regen. So unless I had 3 DoTs (level 65 necro with all spells) It was not losing any hps at all. FM does not work because several of the mobs dont follow the bard cause of speed. The bard will eat a DT if it stays in the zone or the area is totaly cleared. On a blue server a Druid might be better, but as I play on SZ, I did not have time to test that out.

I have done this 3 times now and it is easy and it is alot easier than trying to form a raid on Fear.

RE: Easy to kill
# Dec 01 2003 at 4:16 PM Rating: Decent
Hrm...I could see how a bard could pull it using fading memories since it runs faster than most other mobs in Fear. Pull, use FM, re-tag shissar and bring to camp. Would prolly be a bit faster than using a necro.

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!

We got the Wraith last night, 65 Chanter, 65 Monk, 65 Warrior, 65 Cleric, 65 Ranger, and 62 Druid (me). Zone had already been broken in so we had no problems zoning in. I was able to track Wraith as soon as we got in, went to the north of the temple and monk ran in, got pretty much everything to aggro and then FD. Casters kept hitting him until at about 25% hp. He could see the Wraith on top of him. CT was wandering really close to us, but never aggroed. We waited about 10 minutes and for somehow the Wraith wandered all the way over to the backside of port in hill....all alone. Lucky us!!!! We walked over there, except the Monk, still FD, and killed it easily. Chanter looted, and we went back over to the monk who was able to work his way out of the temple and FD again, just outside the fire. Nothing around him so we got close and Evac'd.

Shissir Change Today

According to the patch message, Wraith of a Shissir should no longer aggro mobs, and they should no longer retaliate. GREAT news for enchanters!
RE: Shissir Change Today
# Feb 04 2003 at 9:07 AM Rating: Excellent
Additionally, I do not know for *certain* that her spawn rate has changed. However, right after PoP was released, I saw her die every two days for quite some time. I haven't killed her in a while now, so I don't really know. Just my experiences.

Yes, Shissir and CT can be up at the SAME time. If Shissir is up when CT spawns, she de spawns. If CT is up first, Shissr can be up as well. Have seen it happen, both ways.
Updated Spawn Info
# Jan 13 2003 at 1:54 PM Rating: Good
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.
Question
# Oct 16 2002 at 5:12 PM Rating: Decent
I go into Fear sometimes with another Necro friend just for the challenge of killing there.

We usually go to the North Wall and clear from there.

Assuming that Cazic is NOT up. Does anything in the Temple see invis? Or can I run up there to check on the Wraith of the Shissar spawn from time to time without a tracker?

Where exactly does she spawn too?

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....

Foxy is right....Shissir spawns within 72 hours of CT death. On Tunare he was killed Friday, Oct 11th, around 2 pm central. Shissir popped and was killed (WOO HOO FINALLY!!!)at midnight exactly October 13th. After that I dont know, I have never seen her before tonite at all. However, after CT death she will spawn within 72 hours.

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)

Frustration
# Aug 22 2002 at 2:02 AM Rating: Excellent

The way this spawn corresponds with Cazic Thule is incredibly unfair to enchanters. It's already hard enough to catch her when she's up, gather the forces, and break fear to get to her and take her out. This is enough challenge in itself. The added threat of Cazic Thule popping and respawning the zone whilst despawning the shissir makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Can anyone else give me an example where the spawning of an independant and unrelated mob causes an epic mob to despawn? What the hell is up with that? I had my raiding party in fear tonight. Shissir was up. We were moving in, and then Cazic shouts his infamous little speech and repops the zone. So we think, ok cool, lets kill him and then kill shissir. Well, someone logs on an alt and checks and Cazic is NOT UP. A couple others log to check shissir and she is NOT UP. We all sit around looking stupid for nearly an hour, trying to figure out what's going on. Neither respawned. Cazic came and went and took my shissir with him. This is seriously messed up and I am about ready to scream now. It is so incredibly stupid that this can happen. Cazic Thule has NOTHING to do with the shissir and should behave as such. I wish VI would tell me exactly why they feel the need to despawn the shissir when he pops. Please change this. It is absolutely insane and makes no sense.

I agree it makes no sence for Cazic to despawn her as far as for the ability of a chanter to complete their epic, but there is a roleplaying reason. Cazic Thule is faceless. He freed the Iksar from the Shissar. If Cazic spawns, why would he allow something he destroyed to live?
