Sundersky, the Sire of Storms  

This guy cons as a raid target.

Upon his death Stillwillow, The storms eye spawns... doesn't respond to hails, not sure if that is exact name, but it is stillwillow something...

yes there is a raid timer doing currently boatload of hps let mage air pet solo just takes forever

Not that its important, but this /considers as a raid encounter (This creature would take an army to defeat!) so you'll get a timer associated with a raid encounter when you aggro him, not just the 30 second cool off. Probably a mistake by Sony, this mob is easily done with a small group.

If you spawn the four winds and lose aggro from Sundersky (i.e., you zone out or CoH out of aggro range) and then aggro Sundersky again after his hate list is cleared you can get multiple spawns of each wind, so watch out. If you do this and kill 5 of the winds (any 5, if you spawn 2 copies of each) Sundersky will die and you can loot his corpse, it doesn't just despawn.

Edit: This method no longer works Nov. 4, 2007. Can't say when it was changed, but if you lose aggro and re-aggro him, he respawns at full health and one of each of the 4 winds will be up regardless of what damage was done beforehand. Also, he no longer gives you a raid cool off timer.

killed just the real named with 1 group and left the other nameds just a load of hp

Indeed easily pulled to zone, surprisingly considering how far away he spawns. Nothing but his own guards assist him. I pulled him up the Skylance ramp, then floated across to the valley where the Master of the Herd roams. Trick is to keep invis up and, as posted below, pull him along the ridge where the fire mobs live and across the waterfall. He must outrun his guards since he came alone the rest of the way. Best to zone to clear aggro, just to be safe.

Of course, this means he will be a straight melee fight, which takes quite a while. As a 5-boxer I'd rather spend 30 minutes fighting one not-so-tough mob than need to deal with adds. My 9k cleric could have healed the 12k tank forever using just Cheal so once this mob is solo-pulled, winning the fight is just a matter of time.

BTW, Between druid, mage and enchanter, the only damage spells which landed were the druid's magic DOTS. Chanter slow never landed, even with tash and malo.

I'll work on screenshot on next kill...but after kill, the following spawned: Stillwillow, the Storm`s Eye. Cons even to lvl 70 and indifferent. Not sure what this is for.

Spent more than a few hours on this guy last night and finally came up with an approach that worked.

Group was sk, cleric, mage, shaman,druid, and beastlord.

Standing at the base of the ramp the sk pulls sundersky with terror of discord. Mob comes and the fight is on. This goes on for a bit then north add joins in. Everyone switches to north add and beats it down.Ignore sundersky let him beat on the sk cuz he wasnt hitting to hard.

When north add is dead go back to sundersky and whack away till mob is dead.You will get no other adds at all.

keeping the mob positioned right at the base of the ramp is key. Dont let it get up on ramp as pets may push it over the edge adn yer screwed. Keep him in tight and its not that big a fight , just takes time.

Did it that way 3 time last night and north was only mob besiseds sundersky we had to contened with.

Dont this one a few times now and it seems to me that its slightly bugged.

Theory is that once he is engaged his 4 adds "pop". Killing each add apparently drops his own HP by 20% a kill.

MT keeps Sundersky amused while rest of group kills the adds.

Well that was the theory.

FD puller attacked and 4 adds Popped.
Mage CotH back to the bottom of the bridge.
Pull closest of the adds, North IIRC, killed it and Sundersky dropped 20%

Pulled Sundersky and MT engaged on his own as rest of group intended to pull the next closest of his spwans.

Blow me down, the first spawned add popped again.
This time he added so carried on with plan.
MT on a slowed Sundersky, rest of group on the North add.

North add killed a second time Sundersky dropped 20% again.

All other spawns then De-Popped.

Group continued to kill Sundersky which was an ok fight apart from the insane amount of HPs that he has.

Push is a problem, especially with his knockback lightening, but all in all just a long fight.

With this in mind next time and every subsequent time since we either FD, CotH, kill nearest add, pull Sundersky, kill the add that adds again then all on Sundersky, or simply pull Sundesky, let MT keep him occupied, slowed of course and kill the add before all moving back on sundersky.

Its just a long long fight.

There is no way that all four of his adds can be killed as they seem to Depop after about 4 minutes.

Hope this helps.

what is the respawn time on him ?

Have necro cast FD after pet attacks for easy spawn of adds. Then single pull away. Much easier.

He actually spawns 4 mobs when you aggro him, each called Blizzard of the (North/East/South/West) Wind. One of them spawns close enough to him to add to the pull, if pulling to the bridge at least.

My group killed him last night, fight lasted almost 30 minutes but it seemed when we killed the Blizzard that added he dropped around 10-15% in one shot. So guessing that maybe he draws power from the Blizzards, and might be a good idea to try tanking Sundersky while killing all 4 Blizzard pops and see if that weakens him.

EDIT - Tank Sundersky while the rest of the group kills the 4 winds.

From bridge looking SE we pulled the 2 trash mobs on the left . we then pulled Sundersky n fought him agaiinst the bridge makin sure not to push off the side. spells were hard to land but tank damage was good ..long fight but you have to kill the Add he spawns 1st leaving MT on Sundersky ..after add died it was easy ..just long . hope this helps

he has realy good resists, he resisted ancient lifetap and various other dd/ dots
