I got the guild together to help me out on my Epic. Thought it was going to go down smooth. All of the sudden one of the tanks just started going ape on him and I had to let him zone so I could do my turn-in. Handed in Dance of the Fireflies and spawned the spirit with no trouble. When i went to hand in the spell: ressurection the SK i brought with me started to kill the spirit thus jumping the gun again. I ended up with a very dead spirit and no Pulsing Green Stone. Just a little reminder to you all to make sure everybody understands what is going on durring your turn-ins. I am going back in tonight to take down the real VS and make his remains spawn yet again so I may get the final peice I need to do the last turn-ins. Good Luck all and I hope this helps somebaody else.
can anyone confirm with me How to get the version you need for the wiz epic staff piece to spawn? Spawn timers/Turn-ins/which version you need to kill/Etc.
I'm told to kill real VS and I did that the other day and only got 2 stones and a bones drop.. from reading all the other posts it looks like he dropped the same things for them too.
I can CONFIRM that I went on a VS raid last night and VS was killed and dropped the gnarled staff, a piece of Mylokar's armor (greaves or gauntlets, cant remember), some no drop caster gloves, and some bones. This was the true Venril Sathir, no remains, no spirit.
As far as actually spawning VS, I guess just wait, or if VSR is up find a ranger or druid who needs this part of his epic to do the turn in, kill Spirit of VS, then wait.
We killed him last night for the stones was a pathetic excuse for a fight but ranger was scared so me 61 Wiz, a 65 mage, and a 70 mage took him out. all i can say was overkill! Pet's tanked i got 2 nukes off Garrison's Superior Sunder 1 for 2200 the other crit for 4480 and the fight was over. I know the mages threw some nukes in there two but all in all i think me and a damage sponge of 60 would have been sufficent. dropped 2 stones some bones and a grim. page
Yes, he DOES Lifetap. Making our little trip to him less efficient then expected. We were:
65 pally 59 pally 65 chanter 62 druid (me)
I started smiling when I saw VS's HP go down as fast as the MT's. So I started to throw some DoTs at him. Unfortunately, at about 50% he startet his 1500 lifetap, which should not proc on this version, as I thought. Anyway, I managed to keep up the fight for one more minute or so and when our second tank fell, he had about 70%. I managed to evac myself and the chanter and luckily we got the corpses all back to the ZI without coffins...
I would say you need a crapload of dps if you want to be on the safe side, but this can definitely done with 1 grp of 60's, let the tank be 65.
Does anyone know the spawn/respawn time or where I can find this info .. I have finished all of my epic except this thorn in my side ... Everytime I get to KC ... either he is "not up" or someone is camping the spot ...LMAO .. I even spent a night there ....camping the spot ... to wake up and find a guild had moved in on my camp ...LOL ... A GUILD !!! Oh well .. I suppose it will come sooner or later ... I just hope it's sooner than later!!! Thanks, Minda =)
it's a easy fight it was a funny fight tho becuse its my first "big mob" i have killed or my first raid as many calls it, we were 3 groups whit lvl 46-58 cleric was lvl 58 MA was a lvl 51 warrior or lvl 52 not sure.
The Ranger/Druid epic version of VS goes in 3 stages:
1.) Remains - this is the MoB that pops some time after the "real" nasty verion of VS is killed.
2.) Spirit - this one is triggered by giving Remains a Firefly globe, summoned from the Dance of the Fireflies spell (you knew it had a use!).
3.) VS (quest version) - he is triggered by giving Spirit a copy of the 49 cleric spell Resurrection. He does not lifetap and will drop 2 quest stones.
An update should be noted that the triggered VS now DOES lifetap. I got hit for 1500 on triggered so I know this to be true. Be wary, he is not as gimpish as he used to be.
Last night I got 3 groups together to help me with my epic drop. Thanks to some helpful posts I had the MA (60 pally) trigger him to get agro. As others have suggested, have the MA tank for about 5 secs while all healers concentrate on keeping him alive. Then the melees assist. At 60% have the casters begin nuking and at 30% have everyone empty their mana on him. He went down smoothly and we had NO casualties. The triggered VS did NOT lifetap. I got my stone and gave the other one to a very HAPPY guildie. He also dropped the bones..too bad no shammies were with us. Oh well..I got one step closer to my epic np. Good luck to all you fellow rangers.

/sigh ok look. The spirit spawns after you give the REMAINS a firefly globe. It is for the druid/ranger epic. Give the SPIRIT a rez scroll 49circle and it spawns a gimp version of VS. Kill him. He drops 2 stones. They are both used for the druid/ranger epic.
