Had the pleasure of doing him today with UP (thanks guys). No problems clearing to him, the gnome does take a weird path, the longest possible way to the dragon. Also he walks slow and often falls behind. Once we go to the door where the dragon is laying, someone mezzed the gnome. Then when everyone was buffed and ready broken mez on the gnome, and then he woke the dragon. Actually im not sure, he may have been charmed and mem blurred at the end...
Once he was awake, the MA grabbed agro quick, and he was slowed within a few seconds. No ping pong agro, the MA did a great job. I did resist electric short everytime he tried to cast it with 337MR. But he landed oil spray everytime. 36 people average 63. Died in just over a minute, no problems only a death or 2. Was fun, and im glad i finally got the factory flag!

have done Xana thing 20+ times, 9 people is smallest successful raid force. Hardest part is initial heal aggro getting a cleric, prefer to have a paladin there to LoH for first heal, and AE taunt if need be to pull it off.

This guy is too easy thing to do is to set everyone up in room all healers target MT and MT go defensive befour fight starts yes he hits for 1390 but he can be easily slowed start fight off we have a great MT i mean he gets argo quick and once he gets argo he doesn't let go he has BoC and the Hammer offa this guy anyway soon as mobs spawns quick heals to MT then have shaman and chanters working on slow once he's slow be easy on mana and take him out not that hard around 100k hp ae of 800 that snares and a clos eup ae that stuns easy fight if u can get him slowed

We did him the other night with 24 people, average level 62. This is the size force I would recommend you bring if it's your first try. The thing that surprised us was that this mob was rooted in place. We had all melee on one side so the dragon didn't turn and beat our casters, but we ended up pushing him right up the wall which was no good. As far as strategy goes, a MT with defensive can survive pretty eaily as long as you have a cheal rotation going. The key is the spot heals though. He does claw 1300ish, about 700 with DEF on. The AE is not a huge deal, just avoid it if you're a caster.

So the moral of the story is:
-Mob is rooted in place, have MT and rampage tank engae from front, all other melee on side
-Casters stay opposite MT at all times
-Mob hits 1300ish, 700 with DEF
-Kill him quick
-spot heal + Cheal rotation (3 clerics or so)

A couple of weeks ago I was inviteed to try and get this guy by some guild i forgot witch one thought and i was lvl 62 enchanter and we got there alright but once we got to the dragon within 2 or 3 mins he was 75% health then next thing you know everyone one is dead and then i think i casted tashe but i wasnt incharge of slowing it andwhen everyone was dead it came for me and i started casting gate and it hit me for 1390 once and then 300 something then 600 something then 1390 again and i was dead
Now dose anyone have a stradgy to take this guy out thank you

Dark Fury on Veeshan took him down tonight with a raid of 23 ppl. Setting groups at 12, 2 and 9 oclock helped and fight itself took about 10 min or so. Average raid level was 62. CH rotation at 3 sec then up to 5 then to 8 second. Only 2 deaths due to ae stun followed by 800 AE (we mistimed the rotation :) oops). Overall easy as long as you keep casters out of AE range and use ext range items for heals.

Who would win Xanamech Nexmirthafen in PoI or Eindride Icestorm in BoT (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=10777

Want to know because my guild killed the PoI dragon easily and if they can do Eindride Icestorm in BoT, i want to get Great Blade of Storms.

Thank You All

If you want to try this guy for the first time, don't listen to the other posters bragging about how many people you need. Chances are, you're not equipped like most of them.

My guild has only done Vindi 3 times and haven't really started on HoT yet. We have a couple of 65's but most are 55-61. MT was 65. We needed about 40-50 people to take this guy down. His AoE's will kill you, so Group Heals are important, as well as FR and MR.

You won't win a DPS race either. It's not a matter of keeping your MT alive, you need to keep everyone else alive as well. Group Heals make this fight doable.

We also used the MGB Group Elixir, make sure everyone is in range when the cleric casts. It probably saved our raid.

Make sure you memblur the gnome all the way to the door. If you use aggro he will chase you, but as soon as you memblur, he will go back to where he last was on track. You can memblur him for the last time just before you get to the doors to the lair. It is safe to rebuff there also, watch for back-pops.

How long would it take to get him down from upon entering Plane of Innovation till bringing the dragon down to 1% of HP left?


Thank You!!

I kinda stated in my earlier post. Mezz the gnome OUTSIDE the lair till ranger is in position and everyone is ready to slow and such. Blurr the gnome at that point then LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Once the gnome is in Xanamech's lair you CANNOT do anything to him wothout ******** up the flagging process. If someone aggros the gnome...don't heal them just let them die or self heal.

NO AE during the fight at all cause you hit the gnome...duh and no illusion because the gnome will aggro.
