Calling Emoush  

Did this today with 3 toons. I did have to get 3 others to join so i could pull the raid. Very simple. But you need alot of melee DPS. I had a 90 warrior, 90 mage, and 90 shaman. I never did much with this expansion so i needed the extra stats and hps/mana. Ran the warrior to the end room pulling all the trash with me where Emoush was and with the shaman lethargy on didnt need a heal to kill them all then ran the sham/mag to there too. When you start you will have to fight the 3 guards before E becomes targetable. He is immune when his guards are up and they will respawn again after a few minutes if your dps isnt high enough after the 3rd time he will go back to 100% E was immune to malo line and all fire based nukes resisted 50%+ of the mages magic based spells. So i just chained the temporary pets and melle'd him down to dead

Can't get the mission with three toons and three mercs anymore it seems.

We got the task with 3 toons and 3 mercs, but of course the mercs went bye bye as soon as we zoned in. Took down Emoush with:

85 Ranger
85 Monk
70 Bard

All gobbies can be headshot so HoA/BoA is hot here. I popped Shiflor with my bow, he brought his two buddies to our group on the tiles. Kept them in a tight group, I off healed the bard mostly and BoAed the group. Brought all three down to about 15%, lined em up, BoAed the group and down they all went.

Ran to Emoush, Monk popped discs, I popped Third Spire of the Pathfinder Rk.III so me group mates could enjoy the devastation and Outrider's Accuracy, when that wore off popped Sureshot Rk.II, burned with Summer Viridity Rk.II, other mishmash and BoA Rk.II. Monk had to CH himself once, had no time to off heal in order to bring Emoush down, which we did first round!

He parsed to 495K btw if you are interested.

"Calling Emoush -- 24-player raid in Tirranun's Delve, results in Glowing Stone Fragment"

I know you can kill him with less, but do you need 24 players to get the task?

The mininum # is not 1 I tried doing it with 2 ... I went through all the earlier tasks to try and do this but it will not let me :/

Just tried 7 boxing it. 83 rog, 80 war, 81 sham, 81 cleric, 81 druid, 80 mage and 75 bard. Warrior is 3200+ AC 23000hp buffed with available buffs from classes listed and is like 200 AA's with crappy bazaar weapons. Rog is a little better then anguish with 2.0. Rest is much worse geared.

Trash mobs don't respawn, if this wasn't already mentioned. At least they didn't in the hour I took to get to Emoush. Got Emoush down to 10% on first round. Second round, got him to 2%. Almost didn't have to heal warrior when fighting Emoush. Had to throw in a couple heals besides HoT's when he was tanking all three goblin mystics, but really, none of them hit very hard on a lvl80 warrior. My healer/nuker bots ran nearly OOM on first Emoush round, but I didn't bother to sit them down to regen mana faster while I was killing the mystics again and on the second round of Emoush, they were OOM before I got Emoush half-way. It was painfull to get him down to 2% and see him go untargetable again. With all caster bots OOM, I decided it wasn't worth a 3rd round and I was better off having a clean go again later. But it is diffinently doable to 6 box this with poorly geared bots. Also, another thing that coulda gave me the win was trying to kill the mystics closer together. I probably lost 20 to 30 seconds each round on fighting Emoush because it took me that long from the first mystic death till the last. Should have maybe used some AE nukes. 20 seconds and my rogue probably could have done the extra 2% damage needed. And maybe I shoulda Dotted with my shaman instead of just nuking the whole time, espeacially when Emoush was close to going untargettable on the first round. He regened up to 63% before I was able to clear the mystics again.

since my guild is progressing thru DoN, about how many crystals drop on average off the boss mob? ive been told 6-10, but need confirmation on this.

OK, what have all of you determined are the least resisted of attacks on Emoush himself. For any descent damage what was he debuffed with and what did you get to hit best. Have heard cold based spells ?. I can tell you for sure that he may not be fire resistant 100% but you will NEVER get enough damage off them to take him down with any quickness. Magic based hits ranged from 25% to 100% and even the crits never landed for more than 100% of the normal damage.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

For those that are not QVIC+ geared and want to do this raid...Have Hope! You do not need to be an uber guild at all to do this. Just need to have some good players and some organization.

My guild has done this raid several times now with anywhere from 12-18 players non-QVIC geared.
First time we killed Emoush with no respawn of mystics...after that think we had no more than two respawns. The key was organization.

Have 3 groups of 4-6 persons each. 1 Tank, 1 healer and others do DPS. Each tank rush their assigned mystic at same time. This is the tricky part. You need to knock them down at approximately same rate. Tanks should be calling out their mobs hp's every 10% so groups can slow down or speed up on DPS accordingly to keep them all about the same.

Once Mystics are down everyone jump over to Emoush. Now you want to pour on DPS as fast as you can. You have 2 mins to kill him before Mystics respawn. If you get respawn go back and repeat the above; just have one tank grab a Mystic and start from there. If you have any amount of DPS at all should be able to kill Emoush after 2nd wave of Mystics down.

Hope this post helps any out there who were having trouble with this. Good Luck!

one more thing i forgot... we did this Raid last week and had a raid level average of 67 so not sure where average raid level of 68 comes from...

Maybe we were high 67 like 67.5+ or something

anyway just an FYI

Our guild on Saryrn along with close guild friends went along to try and get this quest completed. I wanted to share what we saw, because there was some confusion from the previous posts on exactly what we were to expect. Far and by, we are not an oober guild, so that needs to be taken in account when doing this quest.

First off, after you zone in, its pull-kill, pull-kill to work your way back to the area where the three gobbos and Emoush is at. Simple enough.

We did the tactic with pulling one of the named gobbos (they can be single pulled), smash him to about 10%, and then have an offtank keep him occupied. Once you have all three at 10%, everyone just swarm them and kill them all off. Easy enough.

Then pulled Emoush to us. He went down to 30% rather quickly, with no real consequence or problems. Easy buring, no deaths at this time.

Then we couldn't target Emoush and we did the gobbos again. Same tactics. All three went down fine. This was when things went awry (to say the least). Emoush had spammed those messages about growing stronger, only one post really gave a hint of that in this forum (2nd to the first post). On the second round, he started AOE stunning, which caused significant problems. Plus pets started getting away from us and getting smacked. We got him down to single digits when gobbos repopped again. By this time, we were doing battle reses and mana getting tight. Ended up wiping.

So, we reform again in the SW corner of the room. Buff up....etc....etc. Run through the process, all the while Emoush spams he is getting stronger. Well, he was. Now was hitting for 3k+ (just as that one post eluded to). We half wiped, resed, and broke for the day.

The odd thing though, and I did not correlate it exactly from tracking. It had been quite a bit since we started the run, and before we left, our puller said Emoush despawned. I could not verify if Emoush popped once we killed the 3 gobbo guards. He may buff himself up to the point where he poofs, then starts over again.

I agree on the 2 minute timer...it was AWEFULL fast for the gobbos on their repops. The key is to down him in the second round at all costs.

We also had someone in guild say they found some information saying you can only do/take this mission 1/3 days (or it only pops in that time frame). Couldn't find any verification on that.

Finally, we did not try to take the gobbos again after Emoush poofed. This might be a way to reset him, but do not have any proof of it.

Hope this helps. The tactics listed are good, just needed to fill in a few spaces.

Tried this last night and we were failing worse than we expected. After a few respawns, we figured out that the goblin mystics were respawning after 2 minutes, not the 3 minutes stated by others in this thread.

So either (1) script shortens the respawn timer the longer you attempt to kill Emoush the Destroyer, (2) the script was stealth-nerfed by SOE, or (3) the script was bugged last night.

And yes, we had several in our raid using stop watches and in-game clock to time the respawn of the first mystic to die. It never exceeded 2 minutes, 5 seconds on the times I was keeping track. Way, WAY TO FAST in my opinion.

Oh and I can confirm the 5 minute timer for repops does start when the first Mystic dies.

Just tried this event with 15 EPed folk, wasn't QUITE enough oomph, although we didn't have an ideal mix. We also had one out of 2 clerics LD and not come back on us on the way up, which hurt us a lot.

One bit of clarification here: There is a red Goblin King in the far north room along with Emoush and the others - once you attack him the raid event is locked out from new people. He serves no other purpose. You should med to full after killing him.

Emoush does not aggro when you engage the Mystics.

We ended up having a WAR+CLR on one Mystic, PAL+DRU on another Mystic and SHD+PAL+RNG on the third Mystic, and actually made it through to Emoush intact, albeit LOM. Our problem was a severe lack of DPS on killing Emoush, and our first go at the Mystics they got killed a little unevenly and we sat around a moment re-getting our bearings before engaging Emoush - we only got him down about 20% or so in the 90 seconds or so we had.

So, short story, recommended for this task: 3 tanks, 3 clerics (or enough cleric-wanna-bes), a good chanter or two for the adds along the way, a decent puller, and as much DPS as you can muster - this fight is (mainly) about DPS.

Can someone confirm the DoN AA award? Also I have heard that you get a spell?

I have heard 200 HP/MANA, then 300 HP/MANA. Any confirmation on this would be awesome. OK, what about the non-Anguish geared peeps out there? For example the 11K tanks and the 6k mana clerics? Is this doable. If so, how many peeps? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Also if there are any people that want to knock this out, PST. Any others that are puting this together and want to have numbers, PST as well.
