Sontalak  

Dropped Matchless arms and Worked boots tonight along with stuff already listed.

75 Zerk - 2.0 - 12.4khp unbuffed - 724AAs - Tacvi+Anguish Geared

I failed earlier with the same exact buff set (Tenacity, Ranger set, Dire set, as many junk buffs as possible) and made 2 changes before trying again.

1) I put a skinspikes X potion in the second to last spot
2) I put haste in the very last spot.

As a zerk it comes down to killing something before it kills you, so the key was preserving the survival of haste.

Sontalak parsed to 100khp and did about 250dps. Died in 53 seconds. Did not enrage.
I survived with about 70% hp. I did about 1920dps.

Opened with cry havoc + mastruq + berserking + epic clicky. Hit Cleaving once berserking ended. Sontalak was dead before Cleaving ended.

Went from Ally to warmly with one Klandi kill. From warmly to KoS off of Sontalak, right after. Back to Kael I guess. Easy trio at 75 w/cleric + rogue. Prolly coulda duo'd it, but rogue needed Sleeper's Key :)

- edit - the Faction of KoS seems to have been a bug. I logged in to find myself back to kindly, which sounds reasonable. So max Ally - warmly in one Klandi kill, then warm to kind on one Sontalak slay. Did another Klandi on repop, but still low kindly :)

Sontalak solo...level 73 cleric, time/qvic/anguish gear. 35% mana at end of fight.

Soloed em last night on cazic was actually a lot easier then i thought. No vet aa's used had to click a insta heal potion a couple times and was about 10m when the fight was over. I had 0 buffs at the end despite me tryin to keep a few clickies up. Fight lasted about 8-9 mins or so resisted everything he threw at me though cept the occasional nuke gettin in for minimal dmg. Fun fight to try solo its a good challenge. He does run at about 8-10% though so may wanna keep em away from other dragons if ya do try em.

soloed with ease by a well equipped sk. melees with veteran aa "stouts recovery" should be able to solo him too even with semi crap gear

Solo'd today, took pretty much all my mana.

Took him down last night on Saryrn with 2 rangers and 2 clerics. All were level 70 except for myself (69 ranger). Nicely geared but far from uber.

We weren't supposed to win. He was our ride home (summon to guild hall).

I finally been lucky enough to find this mob up the other day, needing a sleeper's key for a cleric friend I deciced to give it a shot.

I tried multiple times to pull him to Dragon necropolice zone line but I guess all the others dragons of the zone were up and wandering, I have not been able to get him single.

70 beastlord 8200's hp unbuffed 1700ish ac boxing 70 cleric. I simply fought him near his spawn point cause it was the only safe place to avoid adds. I miss read his Ae, I tho it was directionnal only but I rapidly found out that it's Area effect and my puppy hitting his back didn't avoid it either 8(.

I had only fake buffs on (I didn't even buff myself altho I should have) my pet was max buffed for a short period of time and the cleric who I was trying to hide was getting raped cause he has no Extended range item and I had to kinda leave him in sigh to patch him while he was Chain CH.

It's a rough fight I guess if you push the veteran AA Infusion which would max your resists would be helpfull #shrug(I haven't tried it on a mob that cast '' CAncel Magic '' but indeed It block the Debuff on a AE DD debuff of some mobs). Cleric was low mana at end and I burned all my discs finished it 8% hp none the less.

Dropped key and rest rotted ( zone always empty and it's kinda long for someone to run there sigh).

oh ya I had also some of the new Healing potions and it helps even if recast time is a bit long. He is also fully slowable but well .. he annul himself and I had to cast 4-5 slow before it actually get in so I just let him unslowed and get damaged by my DS.

how high are resist do you have to have to totally ressiy his spells??

Woot!
Chosen of Norrath did this tonight on Lanys server. We had 4 grp's with an average lvl of 64. Not real easy but not as hard as we all thought. We used the tactics shown here, wiped the first time at 10%, and went at him again to take him down. he dropped only spells and the taisman =( but all in all still worth it if your guild is going to try for ST. Next time maybe we will get a BP to drop...

One group of 6 rangers killed him on Prexus, then a couple months later he was killed by a single group of monks. No outside heals or help or anything.

Guild that did it was Nameless Order.

Also on his loot tabel is the spell Pox of Burtoxx and Avatar

In my opinion Sont is pretty easy. Granted i have only been on a few Sont raids...but hey
Sont has very low hps for his calibur of a dragon. What i think needs to be done is this...
Have everyone gather/buff at the ToV zone. 4-6 junk buffs with 2 instaclicks. Have most important ones last and so on. When you are ready have everyone sneak up, but not into agro range. Have MA agro him so he turns and AE taunt/defensive disc to grab agro. He does not hit especially hard, but need to have a decent CH rotation on him. Because of his AoE/Dispell thing make sure that there is a druid/pally someone not slowing or in the rotation that is healing the group and people that are in the rotation. make sure you keep you CH clerics alive!! Also slow him as often as you can because of his self dispell. Lay in heavy with the nukes and he will be dead in no time. 100k hps is a very low amount and 400 melee dmg is also low. BUT his loot compinsates for this. His BP's are decent, but rarely drop. the spells are nice, but the main reason he is killed is for ST keys (his talisman). Hope this helps when thinking of trying him. Oh...make sure you bring a bard. Dragon fear is not hard to resist, but it can be very bad if MA/healers/debuffers/slowers are feared. Another thing, dont give up. If it looks like you are gonna wipe and you only have paper tanks left. You can most likely kill him before he kills you if you have enough dps.

If you needed to get 40 people their Sleeper's Tomb key, would you need to kill this guy 40 times? Does he drop more than one talisman or do you just need one key per group to get in?

We are about to start on this quest if it is worthwhile, meaning that we don't have to kill every dragon 40 times.

Have a Sontalak Guide up for anyone thinking of taking him on for the first time.

**EDIT**
Few small adjustments to the guide.

Sontalak CAN be slowed...there's a couple of posts saying he can't be, as of today he wasn't too hard to slow but he will dispell it so be ready to recast - just wanted to clear that up :)

Guild dropped Sont on 02-12-03 and with almost 300 in Fire Resist, I was getting hit for about half of the Max. Think max is 650. I was never feared during the fight.

Level 60 Kunark spells have been added to his loot table.

After PoP and one of the latest patches, the ones that nerfed harmony, has anyone found a reliable way to get past him?

A few weeks ago (maybe a month) my guild had a ToV Raid, Sont was up and it was a WToV raid (most people were kos) lots of people got CoHed but those that didnt, myself included ran past him, i stayed on the left wall within a gnome length between myself and him and didnt get aggro, must be a blind spot ;p

Umm, actually yes the AE is partially resistable, the casters CAN hide from the AE, and yes he is a pain in the ass.

Ameraves Dirgefyre

melee is pretty weak, but flurries (hit me under 300)

procs 702 dd when he hits you...and procs a LOT

AEs for 650.
AEs fear.

dispells 1 buffs when fighting from side, 4 when fighting him head on.

has about 80-90k hp.

he dispells himself so if you debuff, you have to keep re-debuffing

All these posts of people getting whacked down...I've seen it done recently so I imagine it should still work, good ol Harmony. Pop him or have someone else pop him with it, run by, done.

He also drops Voice of the Berserker and the Unspoken Word. Both are very rare spells.
