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.
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.

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.
got to love these boards, you post something you hear from someone who was there doing it and you trust and poeple automaticly thing you lie. true maybe not 1 group to take emp and adds, but 1 group on emp, hell if the same group can down anything in sleepers, why cant they down emp? come on people if you can play right anything is possbuil,e wuoshi (?) track and even brsitlebane (before revamepd) havre all be soloed. who woudl of thougth that? ifs funny you can actually tell who the people are who actally have some idea. they dont rule it out. 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.

Emperor's damage output is around Derakor the Vindicator's. Of course, unles Vindi the Emperor has a 4000dd proc in his ******* so once every minute there'll be quite a damage spike. Protect your tank with Spellshield.
I think you mean the Emp Key. VT Key requires 8 lucid shards ( from 8 different zones, all same name but identify different ), a glowing orb of lucanite ( off almost all named bosses in SoL ), and a celestial rift from the emp, though I'm not sure its still called celestial rift.
Correction it is 10 "A Lucid Shard" the Shadowed Scepters Frame (10 slot container for the shard) Glowing orb of Luclinite and planar rift which come from mobs that spawn after emp is killed

Posted:May 23 2003 at 4:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This is in reply to the post about Furor by Bside.
As of the new patch May 15, Emp Ssra has a new spell that is 500pt dmg and is a knockback. As if it wasn't a ***** of a fight already. Not only that, but the knockback will break the mezzes of all the adds. Its a bit different strategy now...good luck to all with Emp 2.0
As far as I know, Emp only cast this spell if Blood dies, and he is triggered, but stays up for more than 10 minutes and he is not aggroed. So unless it was changed, he won't use this during the fight.

In spite of this both our MA and SA have mid 7k hp's and most of our main line tanks have mid 6 to 7k hp's its an achievment but not impossible.

Posted:Mar 14 2003 at 5:03 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I hate to say but tier II are not that Uber for starters. Though if your 1st line Tanks are In 6 to 7k HP range Ntov is possible if you have Skilled Players. My Guild Is going to SSRA on Sunday For the First time. We do RC/Doom Vn`Dyn Vindi Pop Named and so on all the Time. If your Guild has not attempted these yet. They Why would you be worried about SSRA let along Vex Thal were the lowest Common Mob is Like 58. And is said that The Mob Lvl Compairisent to NTOV is mush Different In there Cons. The Emp maybe only 66 but He is Deffintly a under con.

#REDACTED,
Posted:Sep 09 2002 at 3:19 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) As did Clan Ta'Veren, also a Terris-Thule guild. It was their 1st emperor attempt, and they kept the MT alive the whole time (think Divine Intervention helped though =)
What most people here don't understand is the fact that the emperor as he is now is an encounter that is MUCH easier than the first version. Afterlife, Triton and FoH managed to slay the first version, that had a nasty dt. Basically, the fight required a zerg force - it did not require skill, just a huge number ( by jove, FoH had 75+ to kill him in his first form, and you know that is unheard of... They NEVER use that many people ) .
So grats to all the guilds that can kill him now, but never forget that there are always guilds more powerful than you...
Don't forget that new levels added the ability to slow this mob slightly. Previous to this, turgur's would never land, since he's 100% MR and there's no way he could be slowed when level cap was 60.
So, in conclusion, not only was this encounter made easier by nerfing, but also by players power increase, which means that 30 or less decently equipped players can now take this mob down(provided they endured the horrible key/bane camps).
