Killed this mob today on Tunare, 9/15/10 at 3:45 am eastern time.
Trigger did not spawn for over 2 hours after Emperor appeared and what popped was the "Ssraeshzian Blood Golem" and NOT "Blood of Ssraeshza" (who was probably killed earlier). Anyway, we killed the blood golem and Emperor still went active 1 minute later. Nearly a 6 minute fight with 3/85 and 1/84 (clr,dru,beast,war)+ 2 tier5 mercs and no bane weapons.
No kickbacks or debuffs and only 1 spin the whole time with the other named lizards beating on us.

Advice: If you see "Blood of Ssraeshza" up then don't kill it if you don't intend to kill the Emperor. If you do intend to kill the Emperor then don't kill "Blood of Ssraeshza" until Emperor appears.

Happy hunting.

We have two boxed (85 Enchanter and Druid, 82 Warrior, and A 77 Druid)and used two merc healers on this guy three times. This time he resisted all our spells cast on him. Plan on getting debuffed, and spun many times. He finally dropped White Ornate Chain Bridle; along with Acrylia Handled Broadsword, Envenomed Moccasins, Spell: Spirit of Khati Sha,and Spell: Deathly Temptation.

Question and someone with good knowledge i would like if they replied.

I got my 78 BST & cleric merc into the room via secret way to get thru locked door w/o having key, or rogue.. anyways..
I have never gotten to explore the old zones so I am doing that now since my bst is 78 with 1.1k aa and fully raid geared.
I got into the emperor's room, noticed a golem and a bunch a named snakes. I killed off the snakes, then got the golem down to 46% then all of a sudden the snakes re-appeared. Did i do something wronge? I was short on time so i gated out with the golem at 40% and all the snakes were back up and i didnt get a chance to loot anything i had killed, was kinda a bummer. I noticed most of my buffs were gone which didnt bother me because i was taking very little dmg. I have asked on my server for someone thats bored to walk me thru the older zones just so i can say I've Done It ya know..
Anyone willing to talk me thru it on this post? Thanks anyone.

Best Ssra Temple guide:
www.project68.com/eq/Jolo/guides/ssra/

Snakes respawn in approximately 1min after their death, so no point in killing them, you just have to deal with them. Once the Emp room is engaged the port in room traps become active, with 14+ buff dispell, knockback, and 16K+ DD ones. Porting in after room is engage pretty much equals death even with top-end geared ppl, unless they make it out with just 1 16K+ DD nuke trap and knockback, unbuffed.

Emp is 100% Magic-Resistant, so your slows won't land (Only Shm Disease-based slow lands), while his other resists are fairly high, and he is only affected by bane weapons (Pet melee also affects him). Your pet is going to be your best and probably only DPS against him, unless you're going to melee him to with bane weapons, while off-tanking the snakes as well. It'll be a very long fight, as the bane weapons have terrible by todays standard ratios, and even considered group level for the Luclin era.

You'll also want to keep the Rage of Ssra cured with RGC on you and your pet to keep the DPS level up. Keeping aggro and keeping your Clr's mana up will probably be the determining factors, as the snakes will want to jump on the clr for healing. I think the rest is pretty well covered in the linked guide. Good luck.

EMP SSRA SOLOD HERES HOW

I was told how to do this by a monk on another server who had just figured it out, i tried it and yes it ABSOLUTLEY worked. Its real quick and easy.

First youll need a brownie illusion clicky NO other illusion will get you thru the grating no goblin gnome shrunk version of yourself will work ONLY BROWNIES can get through, secondly you will need to be able to FD or have someone FD for you (though technically its not required)

So kill blood get emp to spawn, shrink up and either kill the adds or deal with them beating on you while you wait for emp to become active.

Next when he does the little blood river in front of his platform has 2 grating (sewer) like areas left and right of emps platform pull emp (while in brownie illusion) in there, it will take a few seconds for him to get there as its too small for him to fit but his body comes while his head is sticking in the ceiling.

Now if you can FD simply FD and wait for the adds to go back to their spawn point, as emp NEVER moves from where he was de-engaged so he gets pulled somewhere he stays there until reaggroed and pulled.

If you can FD you can always kill the adds one by one (it would be wise not to let your merc out as he usually gets height bugged (due to low healing in the sewer) and goes to the unaccsessable room next to the sewer (the jail cell) and if adds aggro the merc healer you wont be able to get to them so keep yourself alive while you plow the 8 gimp adds dead (if you cant fd that is)

Now that the adds are taken care of (either fd'd or) emp will be solo and ready to kill proceed to do it and bam a little bit later you get your loot. I found toggling the merc from passive to efficent while waiting for a slow to be cured (usually takes merc 3 seconds once put to efficent to cure) or get a promised to heal, is the best to save its mana for the long fight.

Good luck.

I have a void D lvl teir 4 journeymen merc, i dunno how exactly mercs work, but toggling between efficent and passive to save merc mana when promised gets it. Usually i dont have to toggle until the slow gets cast then thats the first thing he removes then casts promised.

So attack emp merc on efficent,get down in health to get the merc to cast promised, hit passive once promised is on you, wait a bit and youll get the slow from emp, switch to efficent and the merc cures the slow first then will cast promised again.

If you have good enough gear/aa's it is usually timed about right that youll need one promised renewal about ever time emp casts the slow so it is a pretty good timed set up

# Sep 03 2008 at 3:21 PM Rating: Decent
we did this encounter last nigth and found out what are the basics needed for this

1 tank (with AE agro) at least SoF tier 2 to offtank the 8 adds
1 shaman to slow the mobs ( or an ench and get a lower geared tank if only need to offtank 4)
1 cleric with all cure AA + RGC
1 DPS of your choice (id sugest rogue ranger or monk for personal reasons =p )
a lil of crazyness to add to trip cause its a really boring fight ,he did drop the bridle wich we were going for.

Good luck !!

8 people, about a 17 minute fight, fight is alot about cures, druid, sham, and cleric all curing, I the ranger tanked Emp, had a beast tanking all the adds, and a rogue and necro dps'ing. he dispells haste on tank which is a big annoyance, and the agro reduction is a pita. very resistent to magic, fire lands best, cold also good
and as for the flagging pieces, at the end about 4-5 shissar wraiths spawn, each drops like 8 pieces for the VT key, anyways, its enough for a decent force.
questions, send me a message

I know that if you fail the emperor and kill the golem the Emp resets and becomes untargetable about one hour after hes no longer engaged. The door to his room wont open from the inside, at this time, but the blood hasnt respawned. Will finish this post with a confirmation of respawn on blood and if the door is then able to open from the inside....... after 3 hours the golem respawns. At this point the event is redoable. Just trying to post some usefull info that i dont see here.
What is his exact spawn timer?
# Jan 30 2007 at 2:30 PM Rating: Decent

I have seen posts that emp spawn time is 5 days, 6.5 days, 7 days, 7 day with +-12 hour window. We killed him last Monday. It's now almost 8 days and we've been in SSRA since 6.5 days. We were in SSRA around the 5 day spawn time but not very often until 6.5 days upon which we spent non-stop in there.

I know he shows up as a grey con on track cause of the previous weeks kill but we also went in to check just to be sure.

Also, I am under the impression that Ssraeszhan Blood Golem is up 4 hours after Blood of Ssraeszha is killed regardless of emp kill or not and then remains up for 7 days until it despawns and pops up blood again which in turn starts the emp pop sequence?

So what exactly is the correct information about blood's and emp cause this is driving me nuts!

Many different posts on the fact if the Golem's Death spawns him or he has to be on track to kill, but only targetable after Golem kill. Read on RPG that Golem is the trigger mob. Any reliable info on this would be nice.

You need to kill either the Blood of Ssraeshza or the Ssraeshza Blood Golem to trigger the Emperor going targetable after 3-5 min. So, make sure 1 of either Blood is on track + Emperor. Emperor is up immediately on zone/server reboot, Blood pops a while later.

Organized raid can bring him down. My guild have done him twice in the past month with no death first time and only one death second time. Aside form the huge HP, he's rather easy to deal with.

There are 8 snakes that needs to be dealt with and for best result they are not to be killed. Bards and chanters are in one group to keep the 4 snakes that can be mezzed out of comission. Second group contains a couple tanks, slower, and cleric to keep the other 4 snakes that can't be mezzed busy with hate aggro. Slow helps with the healer keep up with the tank.

The rest of the raid takes care of the golem to get Emp to come, then kill emp. Onen is on RGC duty to keep the tanks from getting killed with curse, and cleric CCH the MT. If someone important drop dead, they are dragged to the hall near the east room for a rez.

PS the dead tank did serve its uses: (name removed since I didn't bother to get permission to use it)

tank's corpse rises to serve necro1
tank's corpse rises to serve necro2

Only person to die on emp, and still keeps fighting, nice to know necrophilia still lives on.

Emp is harder than any raid mob in VT.....VT raid mobs are simple the hard part is getting keyed and then getting around...VT itself once you have CoH bots set up is easy.... But that being said emp isn't too hard. It depends on the number of ppl you have lvl and gear wise.

If you aren't very far into lucin/raiding I would suggest raiding more SSRA mobs, deep mobs and seru(btw seru is easy infact he's been groupable for a long time.....the hard part is the lag and adds......) and gear up some.

Doing HP in SSRA should give you a taste of what the emp is like and if you can do HP you can probably do emp.......

Very, very hard, after all Emperor Ssra (along with Lord Seru I guess) was the top boss of that expansion.

The Emperor fight can be pretty tricky as you not only have to kill him but at the same time have to control a crowd of several additional snakes (it's been a while I did this, can't exactly remember how many, around eight I think).

These adds will respawn right away if they are killed, so you have to zero-damage offtank.

And even if you can control them, slaying the Emperor is a chapter on its own - so is even getting to him.

Emperor Ssraeshza is immune to pretty much any kind of melee damage, except Shissar Bane weapons. So you need a good lot of nukers to whittle him down unless you want to spend many weeks acquiring the bane weapons.

Emperor has a ton of HP. Okay, it's always hard to say if the Luclin mobs have actually many HP or just regen fast, but if you have done Vhyz'dra the Cursed before, take his HP x 2 and you have Emperor. Of course, due to the fact that melee output is very reduced in this fight my view there might be blurred. Expect his HP to be at least 500,000 though.

Emperor hits quite hard for a Luclin mobs. I think it was around 800 max. Once every 60 seconds he will smite your tank with Rage of Ssraeshza. So try to time it when it's coming so your healers are ready. Also have Greater Remove Curse ready after it hit and remove it from your tank. Diminutive Stature is his second proc which he casts randomly. It makes your tank spin around for several seconds. So both his procs can be quite an aggro killer for your tank.

Well, that's all the help you get from me. My guild (quite well Luclin equipped back then) needed 50 people to take him down the first time.

Did him with 16 a week ago which i myself thought was impossible ! Lately me and friends have been doing Luclin and Velious mobs ( some pop tier 1 and 2 as well ) with either LOW or HIGH numbers of people, with Emp we didnt have many on soo we attempted thinking that our asses were soon to get owned. Was a long fight but almost all melee had there bane weps soo im sure went quicker then some higher attendance raids have gone. Dropped Caen's Bo Staff of Fury ( gratz meh ) , Torque of the Wyrmlord ( gratz meh x2 ) , Hobart's Ring of Rage and i THINK a spell or 2. I hope more people try to lower the amount it takes to down this over-sized grass snake and can post info on how they went about doing soo, i unfortunatly cant remember 2 days ago let alone a week ago =p . Happy Hunting Ssra luvers !

Just did him last night with 52, and I figured I'd post my thoughts. I can't say much about fighting the Emp, since I was originally on Offtank duty.

It began easy enough. We had a rogue pretarget all mobs. Our chanter and 2 bards did an excellent mezz job.

From here, the 2 paladins, myself ((67 sk, decently geared, 5.5kHP/1400ish AC base, 102 AA's)) and a warrior did the offtanking, since we had no bane weaponry. Another warrior without bane weaponry stayed in the area in case the unthinkiable happened.

THe MT gave us time to lock the adds down, called assist, and down the Blood went.

Here is where things almost went totally wrong.

A pet class, not even saying which class, threw their pet at my add. These babies repop in a minute after dead so we wanted them alive. However, the most dangerous part was the pet's push. It pushed the mob TOWARD the Emp. In an effort to correct this, I swung around the mob and tried to push him into the corner.. nextthing I know, I get Gfluxed, and the emp is racing towards me. I lasted about three seconds with them both beating on me and no prepared healer.

The spare warrior locked my add down, the Emp was pulled to the correct spot, and dropped. Disease dot's and spells landed very well.

My advice to any Shadowknights offtanking: Have your pet up, and on pet hold. Bring him around behind the mob. Make sure he is NOT hasted. Once the blood dies, turn off attack, it's easy to hold aggro even without, and sic your pet on him. Let the pet corner him, then kill the pet and hold the mob.

Our guild on MS server is almost ready to take this sucker and go VT. Just a question. There's an excellent post by DamuriAjashi saying that you need to spam GRC on RT too. Why? Both of the Emperor's spells are single target (on MT I would assume), so isn't it just wasting resources to spam GRC on RT?

Anyway, even if the RT get hit by the deaggro curse, it shouldn't matter much as you dun need aggro to stay on top of the rampage list..

Also, I would also like to know how much does the Emperor rampage? Compare with say the Archlich (who rampage like a madman and I wouldn't do AL again without at least 2 healers on RT..lol).

no, procs will land off of any weapon, but only bane weapons will cause any melee damage.

Emperor fight
# Apr 15 2004 at 10:13 AM Rating: Excellent
I assume everyone knows how to get the emp key and how to make the shissarbane weapons.

There are 2 fights going on at all times, the crowd-control fight and the main raid. The emperor is not initially targettable unless the blood is killed. The blood is surrounded by 8 mobs that will all aggro with the blood, these 8 mobs have a respawn timer of a minute so killing them is not effective. 4 are mezzable and 4 are slowable. The 2 Tormentors and the 2 Slayers are mezzable but unslowable. The 2 Devourers and the 2 Malignants are slowable but unmezzable. You have to keep 4 mezzed for the entire raid and you have to tank CC the other 4 for the entire raid (one shammy and one cleric or druid should be all you need for the tank CC group, give the mezzing group 5 chanters so that they have a backup in case one gets killed and a cleric, have a bard standing near them singing mana songs the entire time). Have a rogue help the CC team pre-target the mobs so that everyone can start crowd control as soon as blood is pulled.

Have someone who is NOT going to be the MT on emperor be the tank for Blood, aggro issues may develop that screw the tank cc group. Do not assist until the CC teams have the CC mobs under control, the blood goes down quick.

Set up for the emp fight and distribute blood loot quickly. I cannot stress this enough. Everybody MUST be buffed and ready to go very quickly. DO NOT spend ANY time trying to figure out who gets the blood loot, you can take care of that later.

Have the casters and healers set up on the left side of the room and have a ranger with WS sit on the ramp and when the emp becomes targettable (he will twitch a little bit before he becomes targettable) he will aggro the ranger who should be ready to click WS and take the emperor to the back wal and wait for the MT to get aggro (the ranger is prolly gonna die). The MT has to wall walk the emp (cornering was broken the last time I was there, if it is fixed by the time you read this then use cornering AOW style).

You will need a 3 or 4 second CH rotation and it is a long fight so put as many clerics on this rotation as possible, mana can become an issue (I would suggest 3 seconds unless you have a real cleric shortage), put as many clerics on the rotation as you can.

Assign a rampage tank make sure he stays on rampage.

Assign one person to spam RGC on the MT and one person to spam RGC on the RT.

When the emperor goes down a bunch of wimpy mobs will spawn, kill them, they have the rifts.

This entire time, the CC teams have to maintain their CC. Have soemone from the main raid force take over CC after looting rift if the CC team members need rifts. Distribute emp loot. Maintain CC. AE TL out. Gratz on emp kill.

Necros would be better off ending the fight earlier by dps. Million hps is a lot to work off and we all know who is the king of long term damage.

Twitching is situational and should dealt with accordingly. one cleric is lom even after yaulping chain twitching is key.

Using a combo of our highest twitch and 44 twitch (alternate between (both mem'd)the 2 for fastest results)

Second time he dropped 2 Slippers !!! and Horse :(

RE: Emp-Kill
# Mar 18 2004 at 9:25 PM Rating: Decent
I think our lowest kill on Emp was around 30. Really the only issue with this kill, i don't know if it's already been discussed already, is the DPS. Emp bane weapons + wizzies are KEY to this kill. The adds become nasty if your enchanters/bards can't hold them for long enough to kill emp, as he is a very long kill. If you have decent CC, and a decent amount of DPS, this is all a fight of concentration.

Killed him with 41 people last week , had very good CC done , Blood went down no problem. Emp fight wasnt perfect. I Hate how he runs into the raid when a ranger (me) is trying to WS him into the corner :p

We had it cornered , going nice and smooth until 50% , our MT falls through the wall and ends up at ZI , luckily we had good ST up and ready.

The kill itself isnt too hard , just long , especially if like us and didnt have to many Bane weapons and 3 wizzies.

Currently we're sitting outside emp room now , hoping to engage in 5 mins , Then we'll be killing in VT soon enough

As of today the emperor is bugged. there were occasions where he would warp to zone line, but SOE saw fit to change that and put a leash on him. Consequently, when fighting him, if u push him of his throne just a little too far he will warp back to it (seems like he cant be walled unless directly behind throne, sorry rangers) thats when the fun begins.
All DOT's, Slow's, Debuffs, drop. along with a neat memwipe so if u just happen to be nuking him the same time he warped consider yourself dead.
Consequently he will regin a good 20% while your MT tries to regain agro.
I'm sure SOE will be fixing this real soon.

I can confirm that this was a problem after one of the recent patches.

Emperor was acting exactly as the post above me described.

I believe this was an attempt to fix the Emperor running to zone line bug that was mentioned above, but they messed it up.

We tried it a few days later on (I believe, 12/24) and it was no longer a problem, so it doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

Yes Pets can damage Emp. When Bane was broken what like 7 months ago my guild did Emp. We had a feeling since Bane was not showing up that we would give it a go. We could not hit him at all. So we used pets spells and proc's to kill him. Funny thing was that we took him down alot faster that way then we did with Bane. And we had no Agro problem at all. MT was using BoT and SoD. Never lost agro once.

No, Shissar Bane weapons are required to damage emp by melees (pets included).

The only exception is that you can give pets proc weapons and the proc damage will affect the emp since it is considered spell damage.

#divinentia, Posted: Apr 30 2004 at 10:18 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) NO, you're wrong. My guild did the Emp (02/04) with only 5 bane weapons, and he was being hit by their weapons, by the rangers bows, by the pet's procs. However, the hits were low because a) no bane b) Luclin mobs have high-end AC.

The ones which tick me off are the level 65 noobs who have no idea and run around asking me a 65 Wiz for KEI/C5 or even so. So use your head before you actual decide to flame. Just have a open mind! If you heard of some necro soloing wuoshi back in the day of velious woudl you belive it? not a chance. However ties changes people get better at playing, items change, max level change.

I do not believe that at all you ever fight him he has a 90% slow with 4k damage proc that is unresistable has 4 mobs you must off tank and 4 mobs you must mez plus he hits for thousands and has 2 million hp. Unless they used a exploit there is no way to take down emperor with one group no matter how good of gear. My guild is one spawn away from time and we would never attempt emperor with less then 35.

I have heard about this as well. The guild who supposedly killed him with 1 group has defeated the Quarm, and brought up alot of warrior issues by having the Quarm tanked by Paladins and SKs. If you are still doing the Emp as a guild, you probably have no conception of how large the difference is in items between Ssra and Time.
