dont solo as a mage
# Nov 11 2001 at 8:21 PM Rating: Decent
I attempted to solo this wurm. Not a good idea

Found that if you run out of most of the mobs aggro range in Kunark, your pet can die and you wont have the mob running after you immediately. You have time to summon and buff another pet before you get back into its aggro range. This helps with the occasional ***** up that happens with chaincasting pets.

This wasnt the case with nez, it summoned me when i was way out of its aggro range. I gated out to the zone line. Then it was still able to summon me, ALL the way across the zone. Luckily on the second gate to the zone line, i was able to run and zone out.
Not that hard

I was in FP and got a tell from a friend to come to BW and fight with them. Turned out to be 52 monk, 40 cleric, 44 cleric, 49 mage & pet, 52 druid and me (48 enchanter).
Monk knew the coordinates of the spawn spot.
After killing several place holders Neze spawned. We took it down by casting CH on Monk and letting him engage. No one set or cast until it was down to 80% then I tashed and 15 secs later slowed. When it got to 50% we started nuking. When it got down to 20% we started stunning to keep it from gating.
We took it down several times using this technique with no deaths but never got the piece for the epic.
One time was very memorable for me as we got 6 or 7 adds during the time we were engaged with Neze.
I mezzed them all except for the Giant (unmezzable), which I charmed and started attacking the adds with.
When we were done there was mass carnage everywhere including several Sarnaks, Neze and 2 other wurms, some apes, some hornets, a few spurbones and 2 giants. What a rush.

Druid did get summoned once and chain nuked for 580ish till dead but that was before we had gotten to the spawn spot and druid was out scouting.
Monster, yes. Caster?

This mob is obviously a caster class since the posts allude to that

Posted that one too soon... Anyway, just wanted a little more info on this mob before I take a group to kill it. One step closer to Bard epic when I get these guts.
Spawn Point

His Spawn Point is -475,-2550 and he spawns every 2 minutes. PH can be anything. Drop rate on Coat has been 1 in 5 for me.

My guild was doing a mini raid of Chardok (mostly just to get acquainted with it, around 2 and a half groups), when i found out that Neze was up in BW... I had hunted in BW lvls 47-51 and had never seen her up before. Unfortunately at the time we were CRing our main tank and monk (they got force shocked off the bridge into the pit.. lame) so we had to wait a while before we could go and try him... thankfully he was still up, and went down very easily, particularly since our necro was able to fear him on the first try. He was lvl 51, summoned, cast wiz spells and hit pretty damn hard. Dropped red wurm guts for bard epic (yay) and 2 wurm meats... hehe

Do not underestimate this mob

Me (Cleric of the 47th season) and 3 others from my guild (54 Druid, 49 Mage & a 49 Pally) were hunting Nez and Phurz for the mages epic part. We ran across Phurz first and it was a pretty simple fight. So natually when we ran into Nez next, we figured that we could handle him. Boy was it anything but simple. I had full magic resists on everyone including the mage's pet and Nez was still DD'in for 580 a pop as well as the claws and tail shots for 125+. We barely got him down to half health before all but the mage bit it. I would have to say that our demise was the summoning he did on the druid (he had first and only agro) to take him out of my heal range as well as him resisting all 5 of the fears I threw at him. Once our evac was toast we were systematically taken out with summons and pounding. The mage managed to escape on a third try for a gate. Had even one of my fears stuck, we might of faired better. We are going to reload and bring a bit more artillery this time, we may of lost the round, but we will win the match :)

I went to burning woods this night with a lvl 56 bard lvls 52 and 49 rangers and a lvl 56 druid. Myself being a new reaver at lvl 51. We took this wurm down, that is the rangers the druid and i did as our bard kept a Sarnak something or other (did`nt look as i was too busy fearing and fighting this wurm) some kind of hornet and a giant mezzed. Down to my second to last fear i harmtouched this beast, as the fight started he just appeared after we had been clearing the "yard trash" away from the area i read Hail Nezekezena, I looked at my mana bar and seeing that it was maybe 60% i asked my small group "fear kite" the reply was "fear kite or we die" So without a second to loose i engaged the beast and when agro was reached i cast dooming darkness, it did not stick...I said a silent prairer to Inoruuk when fear did stick. Forgoing all my self buffs i concentrated on keeping the beast feared. i waited till fear wore off and maintianed agro on me then cast it again. Down to what i figured was my last fear i Harmtouched the beast, after which fear wore off, i recast and called OOM to my small party and we pressed on, fear wore off the beast hit me twice and then tried in vail to escape. If not for harmtouch i believe we would've ended up at our respective bind points licking our wounds and figuring on what we'd done wrong. After the beast fell another giant agro'd making 4 mobs left. I suggested to our bard that he loot and we make our escape as i was well below 50% in hps as were both rangers. The Bard looted his prize and he and i Celo'd to the sf zone, the druid and 2 rangers were in wolf form the whole fight. Was quite a rush to drop a wurn such as this unexpectedly and no where near ready. We proved that it is possible to pull together and prevail and in that is the true victory of this.....Congrats to Lexicus Bard of 56 songs he is one step closer to his epic

Can a 56 Magician and 49 Bard kill this guy?



PS:Bard can't fear wurms for some reason.

Remember that the bard fear song has a point blank range, and the wurm model is much larger than the space the game assumes they take up.

You have to practially under the wurm for the fear to be in range, at least at its feet.

I'm a 54 mage, I tried with a 52 bard. First time got it down to about 10% health, second time was much worse. The bard can fear it, but the fear seems to wear off quick, thus pummelling the bard in teh process.

Maybe if you jsut let your pet tank, and when the pet dies, have the bard fear while you're chaining a pet, it would take a while. Bring a tank and a cleric, it will be muc heasier.

I am a 55 Necro and I soloed him earlier this evening. Having never seen this Nez before, I didn't know what I was in for... I was hunting the Giant Fort and pulling wanderers in between giant spawns when I spotted him.

Luckily I had full mana because I needed it. Pulled him with dark. He tried to cast Force of Shock on me a few times as I led him up the hill to my pet but I resisted.

During the course of the battle, I kept him full of dots and darked and feared as well. Of course, every time my fear broke he summoned me. Happened 5 times total. He also tried Force of Shock on me a few more times. Luckily I have great MR. Because I looked it up and it's a 179dd spell.

Do not solo this guy unless you have a death wish. I was OOM when he finally went down and if not for full mana, damage shield and buffed pet, he may very well have killed me. (He Dropped Red Wurm Guts.)

Nez can be rare, simple fact gotta kill everything around neg 450 neg 2500. burning embers usually 1 in 13. Wurm coat just as rare sometimes. lvl 51, hp, casts, summons, etc.. easy to take down with a mage, druid, and fearer.

Why are you posting this under the forum for Nez? The epics are not all about the fights but about the overall difficulty in abtaining them. Some epics are mostly running around and gathering with few fights but those few are tough. And others are alot of easy fights with one tough one at the end. It just depends on your tactics and group/raid makeup.

Burning Embers drop off of Phurzakon NOT Nezekezna on a 12 hour camp of Phurzakon I saw 4 Burning embers drop 6 wurmscale coats Nezekezena droped wurm guts every time hope this helps mages with all the misinformation that people have posted about drops.
RE: Burning Embers Real info
# May 07 2003 at 2:00 AM Rating: Default
I killed nez looking for the guts for bard epic and got the embers. Both these wurms drop both items. Guts are the more common from Nez and the embers more common from Phurz. Although from reading the guts are more common overall as Nez spawns more often then Phurz.

I camped Nez for about 4hrs last night(never spawned) Phur poped 2x and for about 2 to 3hrs today (Nez spawned 2x) both times guts dropped no embers. If this is broken I hope it gets fixed if it is just really rare well thats just wrong. If it takes about 3 hrs to get it to spawn it shouldnt be a rare spawn isnt our epic hard enough without this BS

In responce to the rareness of these emebers last month for 2 weeks I camped this no embers and again this week same sad story imo VI really screwed us mages on drops for our epic's not just 1 but several:

1) Staff from Hate is still Rare
2) Cloak from Quillmane is still Rare
3) Embers from Nez is still Rare
4) Crown from POA is still Rare

4 items that I listed are the ones that I know a lot of mages are having problems with. VI says by increasing their spawn time takes the rarety off, point in case here, its the Computer programers for VI that put these items on these mobs and they dictate how often they drop regardless how many times they spawn if the drop rate is not corrected by the programers its still the same as it was before more spawns, VI you can fool some of the ppl some of the time, but not all the time..

I have camped this mob for around 30 hours now, it's one of the last pieces i need for mage fa.
I'd estimate that we've killed her approximately 20 times. Now I have seen nothing but guts, just wondering if there has been a change in the loot or if i'm just one extremely unlucky mage. Plz post if you have recently got some embers off her ty :)

I am a bard of the 47th song and i had 2 groups taken out.. lvl 42+.. Nezekezena is lvl 51 most of the time, and lowest lvl is 48. She dropped the guts everytime, and is a wizard. lvl 51+ summon, and her nukes are about 570dmg per

She CAN gate, and will try to, also she almost totally resists fire spells.Btw the burning embers drop like all the time off of Phurizukon and Guts almost all the time off of Nezekezena. both range in lvls from 48-51. AND they are both on 2 minute timers so its natural that they or the PH spawn almost right after Neze or Phuri are killed.

Got in A group today with a magi trying to do part of his epic with nez...we were around neg 500 neg 2500..or roughly right there on the edge of a burned area with tons of wanderers all around and i was a late add to the group sso i am unsure what they killed to get this spawn point to do this but about every 60 seconds after a pop was killed in this spot then another would pop and what is special is nez and the other named P dragon pop right here eventually after you kill the placeholder that pop...the placeholders do wander away so they need to be killed constantly but killing the PH as they poped got nez to pop 3 or 4 times and the P named to pop 2x....basically anything that lives in the zone poped here so how they knew which PH it was when wandering i don't know but it should be helpful to someone...and be careful i being a necro was in charge of snare/fearing and got resisted a ton and summoned like you would not believe:)
