Is Derakor the Vindicator on any faction list, or will he just kill anyone and everyone he comes across? One of my characters has all 3 factions (kromrif, kromzek, thormax) above the kos areas... yet this guy is still Ready to attack. Any information is helpful, I'm just assuming he doesnt like anyone and has no friends.

He doesn't Flurry get your info right. He only rampages (which is a few extra attacks on the top 3-4 people on his hate list) and enrages (auto attack all front attacks).

He quads for ~700 dmg with a very very low delay.

The Basic set up poseted bye Rana the warder up top is the Correct formation that is the way to Kill jsut posting another small deatail, Disc Defensive = 450 hits not 700 = have 2 lv 60 uber tanks with Disc Defensive rdy have the first guy stand Close and all rest FAR as possible in attack range when the first guys disc/or death drops Bring in the next one=
P.S have atleast a few necros pumping your 3-4 CH casting lv 60 clerics= also if any decide they wanna get closer then the Main tank and take argo away you better make them sit out in WL Gl

RE: ...

Rampage is an attack upon the top 3 or so people on the hate list. You could run to the other side of the zone if you wanted, and it would STILL hit you if you were high enough on his aggro list. I can't count the times that a rampage stood up one of our clerics who was on the other side of the room from the mob.

Auto-riposte is the Furious disc that we get at level 56. Warrior mobs 56+ use this also, but it's called Enrage for them ("SoandSoNPC ENRAGES" in red text).

derakor..triples 700 Rampage or flurrys does either one each round has 100khps+, has 2 buddys that can be split if you are a master(this takes more than one person) kill everything else first, hes the first mob in the temple of rallos zek past kallis, everything past kallis is kos and see invis to everyone 6 groups of 60s minimum if you know exactly what your doing, with ******* groups, which most likely isnt the case
no faction hit i.e. your pro-giant buddys can just walk up to the temple and help np.
#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 07 2001 at 4:26 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Mandicus Lifescourge, there is a way to tell what level things are that are over level 63. If you don't know how, that's fine, you don't need to know. Vindi is level 70. Guardiens of Zek are 66. Tormax is 70. Jailed Dar is 75. Those guys that shout to the zone when the boats are leaving are 99 =P

The Temple Guardians are splittable. Quiet easily in fact. We did it tonight when we dropped this ugly punk. Chestplate of Vindication dropped.

Then on to the Statue. This was a FUN fight. 15+ minutes long with 34 people. Dropped a BP, Swiftblade, and Cloak.

He's right that they can be split. However, I would assume he's not on the pull team if he says its easy, or if he is, just a liar. Splitting them is extremely difficult and you need a monk with a very fast internet connection to take advantage of the way mobs warp so you can split these guys.

Best off just having a dedicated kite team.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 06 2001 at 10:26 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well, it started off like this. We decided to bang up on some giants in Arena for SS and gathered all the forces we could(~38 ppl; all 55+ except for a few melee classes). We cleared the giants in arena and then the cleric of zek(something like that) and protector of zek which conned yellow and red to a L55. We dispatched em quite easily and had 2 L60 enchanters charm the adds. Finally we cleared everything there was to be cleared most of what was in the Arena. We deicded to take a shot at the Vindicator. After the decision was made, 2 more groups logged in and we cleared the 2nd round of arena pops. Right after arena was cleared, a monk pulled the Vindicator. It was quite impossible to seperate him from his 2 other body guards and we bit off more than we could chew. Melee classes dropped faster then their hps bars could fall. I didn't get any screenshots or see how much damage he dealt(other hits: off) but if he can keel 3 people in my group within the first few seconds of battle and not take noticable damage, something was wrong. Anyways, we got the courage to try him again and this time it was carefully planned. We called in people from other guilds and i counted around 53 heads in the zone and some playing 2 accounts. We we're able to drop one of his body guards and get the Vindicator down to about ~40%(maybe lower; not sure) and then the clerics of vek decided to shoot some COMPLETE heals on vindicator, but the heals barely scratched his hps. We all ended up dying and i think the last person standing clocked him at 50% health. Very fun and exciting. The true test of guild uberness...
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 03 2001 at 5:40 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Derakor has around 100,000hps. He hits for 700, Rampages for 700 (AE Melee). He also has two guardians that are pets. you CANNOT split them...hit the temple guardians from ANYWHERE and you aggro Derakor.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 02 2001 at 10:25 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Dead on Consequences, yesterday Talisman whipped Vindicator and Statue, and he dropped only the Boots of the Vindicator, while the Statue dropped 2 Vindication BP's and the hammer.

yer absolutely right about not being able to tell for certain what lvl a mob is, but you also have to realise that level on velious mobs doesn't mean diddly since they can have exponentially larger hitpoints.

Basically level is how you adjust how many people you need to bring to try to take this guy out. If this guy is level 70 truely then figure on bringing 2 guilds or one seriously uber guild to take him out.

This might be single guild possible when the sham lure of insect spell finally goes live but I doubt too much that it would land at all if this guy truly was lvl 70.

Basically lvl 70 mobs in velious are some of the very end game fun so don't try bringin a buncha level 55s cuz you'll just die a horrible death. Don't judge velious mobs by their respective levels either because that just dictates their melee skills. Judge them by how hard they hit and how many hps they have, because thats what really matters.

20 level 60 warriors and 5 wizards with giantbane couldn't take this guy out, save him for when you got full skyshrine / kael. The only secret to high end velious game is that your clerics need to constantly have as much mana as they are expending. IE if cleric can complete heal every minute then you need to figure out a way to have people tank long enough. These fights are just way too long to manadump and kill a mob fast. Theres no fast way to kill these guys. The only good way is with very good defense to counter their very good offence.

Actualy, you're incorrect about one thing. Nearly every successful Vindicator fight lasts less than 90 seconds. Your clerics will not have time to go OOM.

This guys hits insanely fast, flurries and rampages, and hits for up to 700 in a swing. Killed our main tank, lvl 60 ogre warrior in fairly decent gear, in approximately 5 seconds.

However, he doesn't have that many hp's. If you can keep your main tank aggro'd and alive for 90 seconds and you have enough rogues and other melee plus a nice battery of nukers, you can bring him down quickly.

Vindi fights take much longer than under 90 seconds, i have seen guilds just killing this guy cuz they are going after aow, and it still takes them close to 2 minutes, if you are a very skilled guild thats doing him for loot and not just to get to aow then it will normally take around 3 minutes, and for the avg guild doing vindi it can take 4 minutes or more

"He Triples for 700 max, and kicks...whoever posted about the FLURRY is absolutely 100% correct...big ouch on that"

Is absolutely 100% wrong. He rampages. Does not flurry.
How do you know he's 70?
# Apr 26 2001 at 9:08 PM Rating: Decent
Just curious, how can you tell that this guy is 70? Everthing 63 and up would con Red to a level 60 player, so what is it that tells you how far above 63 any particular MOB is?
Our adventure

A while ago my guild on Rodcet Nife "Crimsons Destiny" -btw this guild has been disbanded( - was doing a raid kael. We only brought around 18 people and where planning to go as far as we could. Well we had alrdy killed the Lt and goten several pieces of scalemail when we where near some temple pretty far in the dungeon. I am a necro lvl 52 and I was feeling happy because I had goten the scalemail leggins. Well If I remember we had a lvl 57 barb warrior and he was OUR ONLY TANK. Our lvl 60 cleric was using the donal bp (before it was nerfed to heal him). Well our warrior was not kos in kael so he was pulling everything. He spoted this guy and I remember the guild telling him not to pull! But hehe it sort of locked on tohim and started hittinghim for 600 double even with 1200 ac :) The cleric had it under control thought and was healing him like mad. Everyone was doing there rolls and we had him below half health when I and the bard :) Got a little to close to him and he doubled both of us.. We where spared from death but lost 4/5ths of my hps and I forget how much the bard lost. All I know is the cleric then had to heal us. This created a problem. The warrior now had to get beat on while we both got chs from the bp:) Basically thw warrior droped and in 20secs or so everyone was dead LoL... Except my gnome necro friend who fded and the cleric who camped. So we all waited for rezes and called it a night. We got close to killing this guy but sadly didnt kill him. He had around 25%hps when he droped. It would have been great for the warrior to get his bp but sadly((((( He will have to wait.

#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 03 2001 at 5:33 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) LOL, wquit showing off, you clearly never fought the guy. I have a guild that can take Derakor out. He would drop your little 60barb warrior in 3 rounds tops. the only person really doing damage would be the warrior..and Derakors regen would probably soak that up. It takes around 45 peole to take out D, o way your gonna do it with one main tank and a single cleri with a prenerf BP. Maybe 3 clerics chaining it to land on the warrior every 3 seconds and a bunhc of other melee staying back and hitting him. Also, any cleric who stops healing the main tank in a fight like that to heal a bard is....insane.

No actually im not kidding the more i Think about it we had more like 25 to 30 .. We had 3 clerics ching but only one had donals bp ( mind you this is before the nerf.. thsi was in early january and he hadnt been killed yet? Or he had only been killed a couple times on our server( I forget) We had 3 warriors I think and about 10 other melee I was easily the lowest lvl there with most being 55+ Im sorry when I wrote this I was pretty exicted.. and it was a while ago. And all 3 clerics where chain healing him.. the reason we lost was because a couple of us got argo from traveling to close and he killed us .. the backup healers and 1 of the clerics had to stop healing the warriors which let him die and the other warriors where way way to low to tank vind=p now adays the guild im in has done vind and we usually take in 40+ people somtimes 50+ and bind to the spot and use that method.. oviously the time we did this he was either a lot easier or we got extremly lucky Thanks for trying to flame me =p

i just killed the lvl 63 cube in Skyshrine and it was hard enough for 4 groups to contain (average lvl 52) but luckily all the cubes are melee so just have alot of warriors and clerics +) after about 10 minutes of fighting he took down 4-5 people (those flurries are no joke) because once the main assist is down he decimates everyone else doing 2k of dmg within 6 seconds

This is one tough f***** giant =) he is well known to FLURRY (warrior disc)up to EVERY, just want to make this clear for you noobs,

V

R
Y
melee round. that means instead of rampaging like the wussy giants do, it reads
"Deraklor the Vindicator executes a FLURRY of attacks on SomesorrySOB" every melee round (IE every 5 seconds or so)
hell hit in the 500-600 range on a 55+ tank and 700 consistent on a 55+ caster with high AC.
he is known to ritually kick large amounts of ***. Tunares finest, a guild named Talisman, recently owned him severely, then went on to fail on his mate, the statue of rallos zek ( whom they returned to for prompt and just revenge).
GL in fighting him, i wouldnt go without 30 55+ people but thats just me, mr. cautious...
