Raiding potention?
# Oct 02 2003 at 4:31 PM Rating: Decent
I'm trying to gather information about Valketor to raid his pretty little lab with my guild. going through the posts no one mentions his spawn time. Some useful info but can anyone acually tell me some juicy stuff? Or link some URLs of where i can find more information? Thanks

Velketor spawns 72 to 84 hours after dying, as far as I can tell.

Figure 3 and a half days.

He's really easy if you have alot of pet classes (BST/MAG/NEC) on the raid. Pets have lots of push which preven him from casting. If he goes OOM, well, just know you'll have a hard time dealing with his damage. Pets do fairly consistent damage and all casters have to be in melee range to cast on him.
yes

Where did you find that story at. I'm kinda interested in this guys lore.
Spawn time?
# Aug 04 2003 at 4:39 AM Rating: Decent
Seems no one mentioned Velk's spawn time. Can anyone give a correct time??
Slowable
# Apr 17 2003 at 4:42 AM Rating: Good
I believe he is slowable, just have to malo him first. Not the low level malo, the high level one. If not, then you got a very slight, if any, chance at slowing him. Not too bad of a fight, just gotta be prepared for it, and have a strategy. Much easier to let Velk nuke to his heart's content, than to let him beat on yer tank's without being slowed. 1k nuke every 5 secs or so vs. quadding at 850 each hit, I would go for the eating the nukes than his fists.

We had level 65 shamans that could not land slow after malo. They tried every slow they had and none would stick. 2-65 clerics on a CH rotation with other healers throwing in some small heals worked perfectly.

Were the shaman's inside of melee range when they cast? Velk is a belly nuke only mob, and unless you are inside melee range, no matter what you cast will be an automatic resist.

I'm pretty sure Velk is just on Velk faction.
easy
# Mar 15 2003 at 12:09 AM Rating: Default
this guy is incredibly easy. just have 20-30 lvl50-60 decent people and he will go down swiftly.

he drops ST key parts and nice mage gear. otherwise there isn't much of a reason to take him down.
How many Hp's ?
# Mar 13 2003 at 7:43 AM Rating: Good
Just wondering if anyone has a clue of how many Hp's this guy has?

UBER movie! picture was gritty but you get the basic idea, of what is going on but the choice of music makes it even better, I give it 2 thumbs up
strategy
# Feb 11 2003 at 1:47 PM Rating: Default
I don't post on these boards much, but i am interested more in strategy against this mob, not on what newb's think or what others think of those newbs, My guild are all 50plus but i have never raided this mob and would like to hear a bit of knowledge you exp peeps might can share with me.

Slowable?
# Jan 08 2003 at 9:59 PM Rating: Decent
Is he slowable? There is no immunity message when casting slow (like vindi), but i just saw a guild take him down. They stacked tash, malo, OOS and didnt land slow through the entire fight.
RE: Slowable?
# Jan 30 2003 at 8:09 AM Rating: Default
He is definately slowable.
RE: Slowable?
# Feb 12 2003 at 6:23 PM Rating: Decent
What exactly is it gonna take to slow him then?

65 chanter
62 shaman
57 bard

We did tash+malo+oos+insidious decay and he still resisted all malosinis, magic slows, disease slows, and even lifetaps. And yes we were in melee range.

So since this guy is against Tormax, if you already have ally with Skyrine and Yelniak, you could possibly get ally with Tormax if you killed this guy enough...not that you would get much for being a double agent.

Well, being a double allows you to pick and choose (and otherwise custom tailor) your Velious armors to your needs and likes :)

High resists?

Our guild tried to kill Velketor recently, and although we got him quite low we didn't make it. The problem we had is that noone managed to land any nukes on it, as far as I know all nukes were resisted - even from a lv65 druid. I'm a wizard and lv57 at the time, and not even Lure of Flame would hit him. Anyone know more details about his resists and what spells stick/don't stick?

all casters must be within mellee ranger for anything to work.

Noticed in the movie he does run, never seen that when my guild has killed him.
True story
# Oct 16 2002 at 10:25 PM Rating: Decent
The fact that he does cast makes him about 10 times easier, hmmm casting for 1.2k or rampaging and doing 3-4k in same time... I would take the nuke any day. Fairly easy kill comparatively to most other mobs around his level, but then again drops aren't all that great either.

A true story from a velk raid. Our Guild Visionaries of Fire (the rathe) was clearing the guards when some moron in ooc was spamming wtf I am walking through walls. "Where the *&%$ am I" Not 3 seconds later, another person shouts "VELK AT ZONE VELK AT ZONE" So velk was pingponging around zone and killed pretty much every up to Frenzy by the time he repopped back in his room. So we dispatched him with ease... Then the whole zone assumes we did it lol.... Until another person from another guild said other wise and cleared it up. Was a fun thing /cheer Verant for another amusing story about glitches.

Very cool....Downloaded it last night, like 12 Megs, but that's some GREAT editing...Was LMAO....Where can I find more????
Hmm...

Whaa...I can't open the link! It says there's some error or something. Do you need anything special to download it?
I was really looking forward to it too. I hear that there's a video of a very, very ill-fated Sleeper raid somewhere, any thoughts?
Anyone know the average time to kill him? Anyone?
# Sep 15 2002 at 9:21 PM Rating: Decent
I do. 7 minutes. Wanna know? Watch this:
http://www.guildvision.org/movies/velk.wmv
Took quite some time to take him down, nice song.
He does cast spells, does gate, but if he's still at his bind point, he runs behind his seat. Keep back up warriors there.

Since the last revamp of the caster mobs, he cast Sunstrike and Ice comet.

/cheer resists
#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 27 2002 at 12:03 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I don't care about what he dropped in the past. I want to know how to kill him. IF you know anything about what he casts please post it here.

RE: Does anyone have anything useful about VELKETOR???
# Jul 09 2002 at 4:41 AM Rating: Decent
pretty easy. good trick to him is pushing him to one side, then the other to interupt him. when he goes oom hes hard
faction correct
# Jun 26 2002 at 7:42 PM Rating: Default
Am I reading that right? Is Velk on opposing faction to Tormax? hmm . . .
