The Avatar of War  

Raid Encounter
Screenshot

Uploaded July 24th, 2007

In Kael Drakkel: The Avatar of War spawns in the arena after the death of The Idol of Rallos Zek. It's highly resistant to fire, but weak to ice and magic.

In Kael Drakkel, the King's Madness: Spawns after The Idol of Rallos Zek dies. It AE rampages; its "Devastation of Rallos" hits everyone on its hate list. Reportedly, The Avatar of War despawns after having been up for 20 minutes regardless of whether it is aggro (The Avatar of War is the final mob in a three-named ring that starts with The Statue of Rallos Zek.) It sees through Invisibility. It has a large agro range and will assist other mobs nearby.

Dropped today on FV Server after we killed our way through the phases for fun by.. 78 Monk (MT) 750 AA's / 70 Paladin *me* 725 AA's (attacked from behind) / 74 Shaman *monk's box* w/Pet / 71 Shaman *my box* w/Pet. Poison based dot took as well as malo but that was all. We had Shaman's join in meeleing as we were strapped for time. Basically it was a meele fight and took us 14.5 minutes. We did a measure to check its hp's and it was around 1M, but prolly less taking into consideration it's regen.

Soloed by my 80 SK - 2300AAs 4K AC 25K HPs. Dropped BoCx2, Mask, and ring.

Not that bad a fight, just long. The trick was to minimize damage between epic 2.0 clicks. Every 5 minutes when that popped I had a minute to heal up free.

Avatar of War does not have 900k HP, he has about 700,000. Add in maybe another 75-100k for regen depending on your group's dps. But 900k, definitely not.

Took him down with a level 80 warrior,80 cleric and 75 or so bard. Was a fun fight! Warrior stated that he hit about same speed as Idol, but higher base dmg. The fight didnt take but maybe 20-25 minutes at most. We did all the names there excepts vindi,which I killed before anyone got there,and king,whom I originally wanted to find,but was not up. He resisted blood spells, as I figured he would anyways. Dropped 2 legs,ring and helm. Lots of fun!!!

Edit: Took him down again with just Sk and Cleric(myself) Fight took 35 minutes.
Ended the fight with 57% mana, mostly CHing and patch when needed. Max hit was around 1k,with shielding.

Took him down today with 4, 76 mag/nec/shm boxed by me, and wife's 76 cleric. Was about a 20 min fight seeing as how he resisted EVERY spell we casted on him. Finally just sat back and let the pets kill him. Shm used swarm pets twice , kept HoT and lassitude on Mage pet (tank) totally forgot about Panther so not sure if that would have worked on him. Necro Lifetaps were NOT resisted but due to high mana cost was more efficient just to twitch the Cleric. Mage used swarm pets twice, Servent of Ro twice, Rampaging servent a few times and other then that just kept the big 4 hit DS on pet. Also had the new lvl 76 DS on pet. Pet had 105 points of DS, 630 with the 4 hit one. The fight never turned in his favor, Mage got down to like 60 mana, Necro never got below 90% once he started just twitching. Shammy stuck around 80%. Cleric finished around 70% mana just casting CH, didn't even have to chain them, had time to sit a tick or so in between. Overall was a long fight, been waiting years to take this guy down. We check him often but the Statue is never upped. He dropped 1 Blade of Carnage, and 2 of the rings. Good luck to everyone wanting to try their hand on this guy, just gotta beat the perma-campers to him :)

I'd hate to be the person who tried to solo him, fully raid buffed 75 monk w/ Brumal + 2.0 + 75 sham w/ 2.0, took almost 20 mins to kill this lol, imagine a cleric doing it. that's like 2 hrs :(

I doubt he'll be solo'able for a long while. Killed him with 5 last night, war/cleric/mag/enc/monk, all lvl 75, took a good 10-15 mins of DPS before he went down. He has very good AC...I dont think any class could solo him due to his high alot of Hitpoints. I didnt keep any log, but guessing, im assuming around 1 million HPs at the least..but maybe im wrong.

If a cleric, or any class, could solo the Avatar of War, then you would either have to be using hacks, be rigged, or be in dire need of a nerf. Plain and Simple.

He, in fact, has been solo'd (legitimately) by a Cleric.

It's content form how many expansions ago?

It's very very possible a few classes can do it by now.

It's been a long time, but from what I remember, he was almost the same as doing statue unslowed.

Yes, that's what I heard. I have no idea on what his hp's are though, and its quite possible they are too much to survive long enough with the dps he's dishing out. Oh well, wtb trial runs!

I can feel the angst!

If a cleric does this, does the cleric class need nerfing? No
Does the person who did it legit without hax0r, or rigging it, need nerfing? Possibly :)

If any cleric is closest to doing this the proper way, its probably myself, but getting a spawn on AB is a pain- too many farm him. Statue/Idol are doable, though.

Spawn?
# Oct 26 2006 at 2:40 AM Rating: Decent
Where exactly on the map does he spawn? Close to the arena? I am thinking of taking my cleric there and solo him, if all he is is a war mob and no pets I should have no prob. I have been soloing lvl 72 named in WoS lately so hopefully this guy shoulden't be too tough. Let me know if he has any procs or spell effects of some sort if anyone knows.

You know where Vindi spawns?
Keep going past that, through the doors his guards spawn at.
Way in back, is a drop-down, with a little altar that the statue,spawns. Then idol pops in the tunnel which entrance seems to be on the right hand side in temple and then avatar spawns in arena.

The only critters in the *game* that have a "max level to engage" limit are Naggy and Vox.

Personally I think they need to remove these limits as Naggy and Vox really don't drop anything all that spectacular by today's standards (if it's that big of a deal put some level restrictions on the gear) and *do* drop epic 1.0 bits people need.

No level cap like Naggy and Vox

Depending on gear and the ac of the tank, nowadays, can probably be single grouped.

My friend 6-boxes him every time the idol is up. War/cler/sham/wiz/bard(or necro)/enc.

war has around 12k, nothing too special, just need a good cleric and dps.
Memories!

I recall being invited to attend an AoW raid with my first raiding guild back on Torvo called Nexxus of Faith, I think I was about to ding 60, I remember being pumped up as the monks cleared to and split the AoW Inc was called I had my clip plain turned down because of lag and I remember creeping forward to get my first peek at an uber Mob then I see this red image then BANG!! 'Loading please wait' hehe I was one rounded, back then I think I only had about 4k raid buffed!!

The low hit is listed as 299, but I was hit for as little as 258 and 266 (and also the max of 1154). Mostly in a flurry, so my kitty bard didn't last very long.

Family Guild looking for a fight
# Aug 11 2005 at 7:57 AM Rating: Decent
Hi everyone!
Do you think this encounter would be doable with a family style guild? Our guild could most likely muster up about 12 people ranging from high 50's to a few 70's. We have some people that are well geared, but not sure that we have the cleric power to get thru this fight. Also does this guy spawn in the arena itself? if so, can he be coaxed out of there so that a mage's AoE nukes don't squash my friends?

He does pretty intense continuous dps. I have a group of friends who kill him with 7-12 people regularly but we are all qvic+ geared. I've heard of people one grouping him but you'd have to be right on the money and your tanks and clerics would have to be hella geared.

Killed with a 15k buffed tank, best cleric on our server at the time, shamy, bard, ranger, rog. But for the avg i have lost with a 13k tank and 3 not so great clerics and a 4th good cleric. So its spoty can be hard and with 12 50-70 u have no chance at all :/

we had 1 cleric 1 war + me (shammy) healing ranger tanked last 20sec just for fun and 2 wizzies 2 mages took us bout 25mins to down him

tank was 16.5 buffed cleric was 11.1 k mana had kei
re: ./laugh
# Jun 20 2005 at 5:22 PM Rating: Default
well three things that could be different about having a 15k tank and 4 clerics. A the clerics might not be very good, b is that even though the tank has 15k hp that doesnt mean all his defensive aa's are maxed. Three is if the rotation goes off like a cleric hits a lag spike its a wipe. Finally theres no way if it was just the 5 people that it would succeed, because of the lack of dps. It would be much easier if u had a bard for songs and a rogue for dps.even with a single group of dps its still a long fight, a fight with 1 warrior and 4 clerics would take well over an hour wearing all of the clerics mana out.
RE: re: ./laugh
# Aug 19 2005 at 1:16 AM Rating: Decent
15k tank and 4 clerics is retarded because of A) No DPS, B) Its just not necessary to have that many healers.

Do him weekly with 16k Paladin, 11k Mana Cleric, Ranger Rogue Bard Shaman.
not even close

I really think Allas needs to update the AoW here, since GoD, OoW, DoN, all the old world mobs have become like a joke anymore. MPG or RS is more of a challenge than this guy is.

.... It depends on the gear. Just because you have 15k HP and die... That doesn't mean the tank sucks, it means the Clerics failed to do their jobs. And your group WASN'T just a tank and 4 Clerics. Sure, you had a tank and a Cleric.... but you had other classes as well. Nukes. Clerics don't nuke that well compared to Wizards. Bards play a big factor in it too, when/if their songs land. Try doing what they did and see if you die before you automatically flaming someone.
