The Avatar of War  

80 mage, geared in OMM stuff, no merc, 77 water pet, 417 aas, 20k mana , full buffed from shammy,druid,cleric,and ranger be able to solo him? I average 10k crits =)

Could a 76 war with 300aa's and a Cleric merc take him down ya think? Or would I need help?

I have dropped this NPC 3x now in the last 6 months out of being bored on my 78 BST / 76 Warrior pet / 78 Journeyman Cleric Merc. It never drops the good stuff, cept them silly monk legs x2 I am lucky to get 5k out of on my trader. Each time get easier now that I know that its immune to my spell dots (aa bite of the asp takes), my nukes take, my slow has taken maybe 1x.
I havent timed it but know it takes under 10 mins (am guessing around 5-7mins) because I use Attack of the Warders and its on a 10 minute timer along with dropping all my meele disc 1 right after the other as soon as they fade.
Fun NPC to kill as long as you get to it right away as soon as patch is over or someone else will kill it. GL peeps..

Snowclouds Floatingangel 78 BST - 1175 AA / 4k AC - FV Server

Killed him tonight 85 cleric and 85 wiz. just went afk while the merc tank and merc healer did the work I kept an eye on it was about a 20 minute fight. Dropped 2 mask 1 helm 1 legs

dead, Avatar of war

droped both Blade of carnage (BoC) and war helmet

is in arena in corner when he is up very easy for me


lvl85 warrior / lvl83 shammy bot

The nameless server

only took 1 and half to kill him easy very easy

Could a 76 mage with no SoD take him?

If he's humanoid, is he Headshotable?

well thats the last time i solo this guy rofl.

most boring hour ever just standing there whittling away lol.

if you were wondering, since i didnt look hard enough to see...

the statue spawns all the way in the back of the temple (im unsure of the respawn timer) after hes dead, follow the hidden path from his room. you cant go the arena way, thats blocked. thats where youll find the idol. kill him and the move forward down the hall into the arena.

there is mr. A.O. War.

enjoy!

i solod all 3 today .. 83 pally buffed 34khp 23kmana 5.3kac
ended with 80% mana lol
dropped x2 bow 1 leggings damn was hoping for some warrior loo =P

Soloed by my 80 SK - 2300AAs 4K AC 25K HPs. Dropped BoCx2, Mask, and ring.

Not that bad a fight, just long. The trick was to minimize damage between epic 2.0 clicks. Every 5 minutes when that popped I had a minute to heal up free.

Level 80 Necro could not land any dots other than Visziaj Grasp (lifetap over time).

Guild parsed him at 792k

Took him down today with 4, 76 mag/nec/shm boxed by me, and wife's 76 cleric. Was about a 20 min fight seeing as how he resisted EVERY spell we casted on him. Finally just sat back and let the pets kill him. Shm used swarm pets twice , kept HoT and lassitude on Mage pet (tank) totally forgot about Panther so not sure if that would have worked on him. Necro Lifetaps were NOT resisted but due to high mana cost was more efficient just to twitch the Cleric. Mage used swarm pets twice, Servent of Ro twice, Rampaging servent a few times and other then that just kept the big 4 hit DS on pet. Also had the new lvl 76 DS on pet. Pet had 105 points of DS, 630 with the 4 hit one. The fight never turned in his favor, Mage got down to like 60 mana, Necro never got below 90% once he started just twitching. Shammy stuck around 80%. Cleric finished around 70% mana just casting CH, didn't even have to chain them, had time to sit a tick or so in between. Overall was a long fight, been waiting years to take this guy down. We check him often but the Statue is never upped. He dropped 1 Blade of Carnage, and 2 of the rings. Good luck to everyone wanting to try their hand on this guy, just gotta beat the perma-campers to him :)

I'd hate to be the person who tried to solo him, fully raid buffed 75 monk w/ Brumal + 2.0 + 75 sham w/ 2.0, took almost 20 mins to kill this lol, imagine a cleric doing it. that's like 2 hrs :(

How fast and hard does he hit for, wondering if hes now lvl 75 cleric solo'able :)

Where exactly on the map does he spawn? Close to the arena? I am thinking of taking my cleric there and solo him, if all he is is a war mob and no pets I should have no prob. I have been soloing lvl 72 named in WoS lately so hopefully this guy shoulden't be too tough. Let me know if he has any procs or spell effects of some sort if anyone knows.

How many hp's this guy have????????

70 war,cle,sham,wiz, anguish geared. Takes 15 mins or so.

Hi everyone!
Do you think this encounter would be doable with a family style guild? Our guild could most likely muster up about 12 people ranging from high 50's to a few 70's. We have some people that are well geared, but not sure that we have the cleric power to get thru this fight. Also does this guy spawn in the arena itself? if so, can he be coaxed out of there so that a mage's AoE nukes don't squash my friends?

well three things that could be different about having a 15k tank and 4 clerics. A the clerics might not be very good, b is that even though the tank has 15k hp that doesnt mean all his defensive aa's are maxed. Three is if the rotation goes off like a cleric hits a lag spike its a wipe. Finally theres no way if it was just the 5 people that it would succeed, because of the lack of dps. It would be much easier if u had a bard for songs and a rogue for dps.even with a single group of dps its still a long fight, a fight with 1 warrior and 4 clerics would take well over an hour wearing all of the clerics mana out.

I really think Allas needs to update the AoW here, since GoD, OoW, DoN, all the old world mobs have become like a joke anymore. MPG or RS is more of a challenge than this guy is.

alright so if you have a 15 k hp tankand 4 clerics healing and you cant beat AoW you SUCK!!!! HARCORE!!! 1 goruped him cleric,chanter,warrior,monk,wizard,bard

when i got here i dunno how cuuz when i 1st logged in this thing spawned rite in front of me im a 31 necro atm and ppet kiled it in 1 slash but the slash did 200k dmg that wuz a bug rite? and if ne1 is on veeshan lemme kno my toon is darknecrofear so lemme kno here or there cuz that wuz wild

Would it be possable for a guild with a Three cleric CHC going, and a tank with 8.2k HP max?

What classes would be needed to take a mob down like this?

|Raid Attendance|
Chanters x2
Mages x2
Warrior x5 (All Defensive AAs)
Cleric x3-4
Pally: x2
Shadow Knight x1
Monk x1
Bards x2 (With Fading Memories)
Shammys x2

The Max amout we ever get is about 25 people. Would it be possable!?!

Just killed him tonight with a rather large force of about 25 peeps. Not slowable, doesnt ramp, but flurries. Get a CH order of about 4 healers and a tank with 10k hps or more and u should be fine. Dropped 2 helms and 2 masks.
