Derakor the Vindicator  

I as a 75Cleric can solo "Derakor the Vindicator" and have 5 times so far for faction to Dain.
If you just kill stuff in front of Temple, all guards and protectoers then make sure all buffs are good and med to full (if you need). Wen Derakor the Vindicator comes closest to you at end of walk way use MoM and MoR to pull him to you (extra dps for cleric :p). If your wise to your buffs and know how to set them to best use as malee you start casting DR when ever needed and let VoW do the healing from there.

Can do statue and Idol same way if you pace your self. Last time I did Vindi I used about 25% of my mana, took about 7min for me to kill. Can not use pets as he will kill them rather fast and waste your mana and dps to get another one up. His guards are easy to take out at the time your dealing with Vendi.

The one I am concerned is AoW, with some one there to slow AoW I might be able to kill him also but not tryed as of yet. Just wish I knes total HP's, pet hammers are more than likely not going to work as with any named giant in Kael.

on my second attempt. after killing his guards first, i finally solo it on a cleric.
Had DI poped twice tho
had only selfbuffs,potions and KEI

I attempted Vindi last night with 3, for kicks. 67 Pally / Cleric (9.3k hp and 6.4k mana respectively & Two boxed) and a pretty well time geared 70 Beastlord.

The pull was the easiest part. Cleared the majority of the Arena (including and especially around the ice wall). Pally ran in, cast Desist (no damage stun) on Vindi, and ran around ice wall while BST picked off the pets. Because Vindi was agroed with a stun, the Pally had a good amount of agro but couldn't be summoned. Pally didn't even have sow, just Run 3 and was able to easily outrun Vindi.

Also found out 9.4k 67 pally can't tank Vindi with a single cleric healing ;-).

I recall long ago, when vindi required a raid force, where the main tank required a good ch chain and other tanks would shoot arrows to try and lock down ramp as the giant was on his way to where we would usually kill him. I remember when the people on rampage died and it went to healers, that wasnt good!

Only a few days ago (the day before the dodh patch), I sucessfully managed to solo kill the giant, the fight taking 11 minutes 25 seconds from the first attack round. Derakor slain by a cleric, it's still hard to believe. Just crazy what mudflation can enable people to do ><

Killed him today with lvl 67 and 70 nec 70 sk sham 70 bard 70 and cleri 70 was an easy fight he was down in 4 min droppt breastplate, head and heart

anyone remember the respawn on vindi? Finally got some well earned revenge on him w/ some friends, and we kinda wanted to get the BP for all our plate alts, and he alwasy seems to be up on my server... thanks.

Hi all

We did Vindi the other day. Our 1st try with 3 people wiped. We had a ranger, a pal and a cleric.
Then for a 2nd try we got some help. A enc, a 2nd ranger and a botted cleric (by the 2nd rng).

Cleared whole arena. 2nd Ranger pulled Vindi, me (1st rng) and paladin taged a guard each on incomming while the other ranger kited vindi in the arena. We killed guards then he brough back vindi and we took him out.

From the parsing with Yalp i get this data from Vindi:

DPS: 467
Max Hit: 692
Avg Hit: 396
Min Hit: 109
Fight Time: 5:06 min

I tanked, had about 11k hp with all defensive aa enabled, but no shielding at all.
1 cleric kept up heal over time on me and covered the paladin who was ramp tank the other cleric chealed me at 80%.

Hope it helps guys. Was a fun and exciting fight.

Regardst to all

Have bard pull Vindi and guards, Highsun Vindi, kill guards pull Vindi again, wham, loot up.

Sorry should have added - Vindi guards are more like pets, as such can not be split they will always warp / arrive on raid when vindi's singled out. The only way to do vindi safely is to dispose of pets 1st.

Recommend aggro on vindi (no dmg so he doesn't summon) then kite him while kill off guards.

Vindi can be killed with few ppl these days, I killed it with my friend both of us 2 boxing (4 chars total) but the cleric quvic armored n pal has 11-12k hp's. If your not EP/time/Quvic armored still prolly need a few groups.

Guards can not be charmed, I suggest DC from outside if your hp's aren't enough to deal with charm breaks with little risk to group (DC from arches are best). Otherwise my new favourite pet is Dlammaz Stormslayer (near tomax arch hits 600ish). Hasted he cuts down fight time on vindi but he's a bit magic resistant hence suggest mage/sham/druid debuffs (not slow that spoils the fun). Next time im upgrading to a sent tho with OoW charms out.

Pulling plans depend on what sort of pet if u want to use enc to pull monks probably better but ill talk about what i know... I find new strategy we use is to set up near icewall in arena, non vindi side obviously =) then get puller (enchanter) to tash n cripple (synapis spasm) vindi then basically run arround and arround the ice wall while making sure not to get hit n that pets not whacking on vindi as = summons = bad. When vindi's guards are down then use soothing words (monk i guess FD) n get tank to tuant off not using dps (hence pal better) n you have a vindi thats been crippled n debuffed from pull. Warning whoever circles vindi will be on rampage. Enc these days can prolly hold there own on rampage with runes. Ive used this ice wall (or circle arround the areana depending on raid dps vs repop time) with monk sk n now enc pulling. GL
