What's respawn?
# Jul 29 2007 at 1:41 PM Rating: Decent
We wiped on him last night while he was at 4% and he despawned. 24 hours later he's still down.

Anyone know if this is a bug or what's his respawn?

Seems SOE beefed up this event a little bit:

Shei Vinetras now PROCS (not cast) Chromatic Disruption, a point-blank AE that lowers resists and does 50 damage/tick.

Also, Shei will now continually respawn 4 adds to attack the raid for the duration of the fight. If you kill them they just respawn.

Thats about it...

7 kills and no Shadowsong Cloak...

If I pop geomantra, takes DT down to 15100
I'm 16300 buffed. if I could take care adds before poping real one would be soloable no problem. melee damage from him is ridicilous.

There are 2 versions of Shei. One is a vendor who auto poofs on kill and that is what you probably killed.
Mage pet groupable?
# Dec 07 2005 at 10:39 AM Rating: Decent
For those who have tried this, with pally stuns or similar, how do you think a mage group would fair on this encounter?
I have been on some in WOS and its easy killing with no need to heal at all. If we have 6 air pets constantly stunning, think we could take it?
This will probably be the only way I can do this, unless I try open raiding it (seeing as my guild doesn't raid often).
Any help would be appreciated. With the new Tinkering trivials 400+, the extra 5% over and above the Geerlok would make all the difference!

Very, very late reply, but if what I am told about mobs using death touch is accurate, they will not DT your pet. They'll ignore your pet and blast you instead. Five mages and a very, very busy cleric might work.

These days, since it seems that this is one of a very few DT effects of yesteryear that has not been upgraded to a 100k or 200k blast, it's easy to cap out your HP high enough that you can mostly shrug off the effect, and with a merc healer you'll be back to full well before the next DT.

FYI... DA does block Touch of the Venitras. You're thinking of Cazic Touch which will burn through DA. Also, if you have a very good tank with DI and kept at good health near the time of the TotV then there's a possibility of him surviving it. Good possibility too. But he needs to have around 17k-18k hp and spell shielding.

It's just one of these retarded guild plugs you see so much. You know, the guilds full of power gaming retards who ruin a lot of the fun for so many others need to come onto Allakhazam and boast about what they did...

"LOL OUR GUILD "KEEPERS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION ROFL ZERG WITH 20 CLERICS AND 25 WARRIORS ONLINE AT ONCE" KILLED Y MONSTER IN 5 SECONDS WITH NO DEATHS AND HE DROPPED Z ITEM AND WE ARE THE BEST LOL YOU SHOULD WORSHIP US WE'RE ON Q SERVER DID I MENTION RECRUITMENT IS OPEN?"

I'm tired of everyone posting their inane accomplishments on the bestiary forums. It's as if they believe SOMEONE cares. Hey "Froggerx" or whatever you said your name was... NOBODY CARES. I don't care, Moritam doesn't care... nobody cares. If we wanted to read all about what your worthless guild did we'd go to the poorly designed guild webpage.

It's pretty easy to tell that nobody wants to read what the hell your crappy guild did. So, I'd like to know... why do so many fools like you keep making those posts?

Shei is a he, most if not all of the four arms, are male, but the robed things that run through Maiden's eye are female, there is a way you can tell the male shades from the female. The Male ones, have a crown, red flowing eyes, and and a skull belt, the female ones, are plain black robes, that sort of, just drift about. And now I have completed my complete useless piece of information, I take my bow /bow.

Huge DPS from the steps. Lifeburn from the get go if you have necros with it. Flat out nukes from everyone except the clerics. Wake the dead, send your pets, burn your mana.
There is no second DT if you are fast enough :o)

I am a 59 Cleric on The Nameless.Went on a Raid against this thing(first time). Well we went with 40+ people average level was 63. We killed the Merchant Shei with no prob. When we started on Shei he Death Touched main tank causing add to pop. Well the raid wasn't organized so at this point people where assisting the wrong people...FYI the adds will summon you. All the casters where on the Stairs behind Shei and we started to get summoned. Shei is a monster if raid isn't organized and planned.Mana taps you,summons,DTs,and pops add when someone dies.This all equals to a fun experience or a summon your corpse experience..we did the summon one.

We tried Shei tonight with standard tactics. Pulled all trash out of the room. Aggroed Shei and the 4 named popped. We bring out the 4 named and tank each to 15 percent. We then bring the merchant Shei out and kill. Real Shei pops down below so we kill the 4 named. We send someone in to take the DT and all 4 named pop again. The 4 named had been dead about 45 seconds. So we pull out the 4 named again and kill them. Guess what: the named pop again almost instantly. This is either bugged or has been changed on purpose. Have done Shei many times and never seen this behaviour. Anyone else try Shei recently and seen this behaviour?

7 day spawn is not up after server reset !
2 ways to kill ... it !
1: mass dps on shei and off tank adds (dangerous cause u need healers for the off tanks and if u dont kill shei fast enough u gonna have to many adds)
2: kill adds a fast as possible then every1 back on shei till next DT / adds. (safer imo but takes a while and u need the dps to kill adds before next adds spawn)
i know there are holes in this and that is intentional ... learn by trying !!!

Ok he spawns a lvl 60 mob everytime he DTs someone or everytime someone dies period?

And the mob he spawns, can it be charmed via the new Command of Druzzil spell that enchanters get. Cause that would be a nice way to get higher DPS, every time one tank dies....swtich tanks and get another DPS pet.
RE: Charm the adds?
# Apr 30 2003 at 9:03 AM Rating: Decent
A mob spawns anytime anything at all dies in that room during the event. That includes players, mobs, even pets (charmed or summoned). AFAIK, the robes that spawn are extremely MR, and, if not completely non-charmable, charms would be highly resisted. Basically, pets during this fight are a serious no-no. Get some pallies or SKs on the adds, with orders not to kill the robes until Shei is dead. Have everyone else on Shei. Sac someone for the initial DT, get your MT in, and kill him fast. Have at least one second tank ready to go. 2-3 extra tanks ready to MT is a good idea.

A new level 60 mob spawns ONLY when a Player Controlled entity dies (PC, pet, or charmed NPC). We typically clear the 4 adds that spawn with Shei before engaging it. Though we kill them up on the platform, it's been debated that killing NPCs on the carpet that Shei is on WILL result in an add, though we've never tested that. Once the first 4 are dead, we just off-tank the other 2 or three that spawn due to Death Touch.

Hmm I read that Shei's DT is "resetable" by our stuns (most likely our PoP lvl 62 or lvl 64 stun, even more so our AA Divine Stun).
Someone said just stun every 20 seconds to reset the DT timer.
Of course the stunners would get aggro, so perhaps a lvl 65 PoP AA'd paladin can be tank?

I'm not gonna post exactly how to kill Shei, because very few guilds on my server can kill him and I'd like to keep it that way. However I will give you some info about the fight.

~Shei initially cons dubious to all. When you aggro him he will come after you along with 4 or so robes that are kos.
~When you kill Shei a kos version of Shei will spawn in the middle of his room. He is rooted. He hits in the 700's. He can be slowed. He has a lot of hps. He death touches every 2 mins. Whenever someone dies a level 60 add will spawn.
~There's a mana drain trap in Shei's room.

As for the strat to beat Shei. It takes a while to figure it out, but once you figure it out he's a punk, and no I don't mean any sort of sploits. I will tell you this- figure out a way to split merchant Shei from his robed friends. It's possible. Also there is a way to avoid the mana drain trap if you patient and try some different things...

Uber guilds do share stats. Things that make guilds UBER is NOT witholding info, its their ability to get formed up in an instant and be well organized. When a mob pops and someone says lets GO kill it!!, its not "Hang on Im in a grp or Im almost done.: ITs Drop EVERYthing an GO now! port there BE there in 1 minute or less take 1 minute to form and BAM! engage all while organized and working as a team. It makes me SICK to my stomch to hear sh*t falling out of your mouths. People that think like that are just ignorant greedy bastids !!!!! lol
GET SOME!!! muhahahaha
I love blowing off steam on these boards lol

This encounter cant be THAT hard if organized.
Gather 54 of your guildies, assign 2 groups to each of the mobs that spawns after DT (4 groups total) and send the other 30 at Shei herself.

Considering Shei isn't one of the 2 auto-quad mobs in the game, and having the tanking always defensive (due to being DTed every 2 min), Shei's DPS isn't going to be that good.

Have 4 groups CC the adds and 6 tanks to be perm-defensive tanking, 5 clerics in chain, 1 cleric battle rezzing, and 3 DPS groups on Shei. AE taunt is also a plus on your tank cycle. Pretty much sums it up.

Facts on Shei

Old Continent on Xev (myself among them) went after Shei on Sunday: here is how it went down. We had already killed Itraer Vius with relative ease and decide to try Shei: As soon as you provoke, Shei will deathtouch and spawn 4-5 Giant Robe creatures that are all level 60-61. These resist slow and hit (generally) from 145-270 per hit (they don't hit remarkably fast but they have a truckload of HP). If you manage to kill the vendor Shei, Shei will reappear in the middle of the carpet in front of the platform and hit like a freight train (and death touch about every 2 minutes). The problem with this fight is that the area in front of Shei's podium is a trap called 'an insanity worm' and eats away your mana 2 bubbles at a time (so you're fresh out fast..not good for the hybrid melees such as Pallies, SK's, Rangers and Beasties). The good news is that the trap does not affect the platform around Shei ..and since Shei's a vendor, was dubious or indifferent to everyone (noone was threatening). Needless to say, OC got wiped in the end...about 25 dead and maybe 10 camped out safely or fd'd (or ran). Very very tough fight.

Just an additional note on this: the trap is actually the 'insanity crawler' which is a high level worm that mana drains (the trap gives off waves which drain mana). Read the board on the Insanity crawler as to strategy and how to provoke. Thanks!

Group says, 'Go and distract Shei, Dark Elf!'
Dark Elf says, 'Will I get hurt?'
Group says, 'Not if you cut off her head with one blow. Now go, while he/she/it/whatever is vulnerable!'
Dark Elf charges up to Shei and takes a swing, hitting nothing but air.
Shei Vinitras shouts, 'Die Dark Elf!'
Dark Elf is hit by non-melee for 20,000 points of damage.
Dark Elf died.
Group slays Shei and laughs at Dark Elf.
Death to the inkies!

First, it has been my experience that people with that attitude do not belong to an uber guild. If any of the truly uber guilds wants to kill this guy, they will camp a group at her until she pops, call their friends in and have her down before 90% of the server knows. Yes, this is possible even for mobs requiring 40+ players.

Second, sharing strategies is one of the ways you prove your guild knows what it is doing. It is also a way for the guilds that can kill her to improve their methods.

It really makes me sick to see all of you who consider yourself "uber" trying to keep information back because you want everything for yourself. For those of us who play to have fun, it makes us wonder if you ever got out of the 6th grade.

I can understand "trade secrets" in the sense of keeping information on key quests or special drops within the guild until you have had a chance to get your members what they want (note: I never said I agreed with it, just that I understood it). However, this "Never tell people strats" attitude is anti-productive. Most of the guilds that want to try will try whether they know how to or not. And most of the good guilds will succeed - whether you beleive they are uber or not.

There are greedy reasons why guilds with hold information about mobs/zones. But part of the fun of the game is not only to accomplish killing a hard mob but to also learn how to kill that mob from personal experiences.

It wastes time for one group to camp a mob for an entire day, which is most likely what happens to ensure you get the mob, and even then its probable that another guild could race you to the mob and engage it before your guild does.

It only hurts a guild to divulge information out which has potential of being read by another one of their servers guilds. Nothing is to be gained from it either, because by killing the mob it already proves that the guild has what it takes and knows what its doing.
