Lord Yelinak  

starting faction for a wood elf tunare worshipping ranger is glares threateningly.

zoning in from cobalt scar, with 200 skill, I cannot track Yelinak at the entry spot. running up towards the maze, using the map, at the closest possible location I still cannnot. Going into the maze into the far north west area I still cannot. after pasing the maze into the next part, even in the far north west corner there I cannot track Lord Yelinak. With 200 skill I had to be so far into Skyshrine and so close to Yelinaks lair that I may as well have camped outside the lair itself.

I haven't fought Yelinak as much as Dain and Tormax simply because he is a pain to get to, but this is what I remember off the top of my head. Better than having a blank description!

Lord Yelinak
Max Hit: ~700
Rampages: Yes, pretty often too
Enrages: Yes
Flurries: No
Slowable: No. "Target is immune to changes in its attack speed" just like all the other Velious faction leaders.
HP: ~350,000
Definitely able to be crippled

He's unslowable but really doesn't hit that fast. Either that, or he doesn't hit for 700 very often. Even unslowable his melee dps is not very spectacular. I never tanked him myself so I'm not sure which one, lol.

Easily the hardest of Dain, Tormax, and Vindi. He's the only one that isn't completely straightforward. Annoying without lev, but he doesn't dispell so as long as you've got it, you're good.

I was at ally status on /con of Yelinak, so turned in my Tormax head and got my reward. I had a box who was almost ally to COV, and wanted to see the default Yelinak status was, and it appears to be scowling. She was in combat before she got to the gate, and was on Yelinak's target by HoTT also. Fortunately, this level 1 box wasn't summoned or attacked at that range and camped out while I brought in a friendly witness (the two witnesses contributed nothing to the fight except Leadership AA's). I was buffed so engaged. Opp's, no lev, no haste, clarity or beast pots used, but too late for that. What a ride it was. Maybe ten minutes over all, and during that time I hit all my buttons, used two HOT pots, and was low on health and mana at the end. I had a hard time hitting a one half second DD spell and not gettting it interrupted, not to mention self healing, leving myself or getting additional buffs from pots, which I quickly gave up on. I got thrown all over the room a bunch of times, usually to get summoned back instantly, sometimes left alone for a second or two. I didn't seem to take damage from the throws that I saw. I didn't notice any Dots on me. I didn't have anything dispelled. I should have parsed it and paid more attention, but had to camp right afterwards. Loot was four spells, Yelnak's Head, the ranger whip, the mask, the shield, SK sword, and Yelinak's Talisman. Gratz rot on some stuff, Bazaar on the mask, bank on the spells. I would recommend if you try it you get max buffs. I was close to 25K hp/4400 AC. I conned a drake afterwards, and was still warmly to COV. Poor Yelinak. Poor giants, as I need to make up for it. If it has loot, it must die!

Edit: Tormax was a standard beat down. Nothing fancy or difficult besides being ready for a bad guy. Not leving was a big mistake here, and made this seem much harder to me than Tormax was when I did him.


Edit: And as mentioned below, no assists happened from the nearby mobs, even though I got thrown by COV faction mobs a lot. I really wish I had parsed it and had more time to pay attention too fight details.

Edit: Duh! I did parse it. (I didn't know it was still running) Yelinak had about 509K hp, and the fight lasted 8.5 minutes. His DPS on me was 122, mine on him 1.2k. I had about 75 casts during the fight, and a good number of them were un-intteruptable weapon procs. I had 20 interrupts total, so about 1 in 3 of the remainder were interrupted. A few were longer casts like heals and Arc or Arrows at the begining until I gave up with long casts. But a lot of the interrupts were for the 1/2 second cast time DD spells as I thought during the fight. 40% of his attemptded hits landed, some were misses, and the rest were dodged, riposted, or parried.

75 SK, 785 AAs, 14.4k hp 3.2k ac unbuffed. He was a total candy *** untill about 40%, when he seemed to start trying or something. Up untill that point, I hadn't used any mana or pots. Ended the fight out of mana but full health, having used 4 pots, Soul Shield, Leech Touch (I only just got it, so it's only 900 damagE), and Leech Curse. He's permarooted, and the floor in his lair is slippery, so used levitate. Took about 30 minutes to kill him. He's got a knockback, did 2 damage, and was really irritating, made casting very difficult at times. Dropped the Outrider's Taming Whip, Mask of the Dragon Slayer x2, Soul Defiler, Monster Summoning 3, Gift of Brilliance, Divine Strength, Aegolism, and of course his head and talisman.

Stupid me, I didn't parse it... His max hit looked to be 440, he hit for 90 alot, immune to slow, doesn't miss often, and hits very fast. I would guess on the order of 5-700k hp. Also of note, he seemed to try to run at about 5%, because he just stopped attacking me, and stood there while I finished him off.

Only thing he hit me with spellwise was that knockback and the occaisonal Mind Cloud landed (maybe 4 times over the course of the fight), on a MR of 476.

I can't think of any other relevant information, 'cept that the other mobs in the room didn't assist him. Any questions, feel free to send me a tell.

Trioed by boxing shaman/SK and a rogue..

SK has 770 aa w/2.0

Course, so is the loot. Downed tonight with war shm dru clr mnk, and it was frankly a joke. Everyone camped out to avoid faction hit except the warrior. He hits for a pathetic amount on todays characters. Resisted every single time he AE'd, and his "upgrade" with this knockback? It's a proc, on anyone he hits...and lev pretty much negates it to a couple feet. I spent whole fight (shaman) dotting poison (belly cast of course) and nuking and canni'n whole time. Has very few HP's and is a joke compared to Tormax and other boss types. Grats clr on ST key :)
