Is Sontalak back on the menu?

[Jimjam]

Sontalak.

Allegedly a dragon, but skull-faced and with an unscaled segmented body I refuse to believe that.

A cruel and vindictive creature, whose life is nothing but suffering inflicted on himself and others.


There has been an underlying change to the deep magic of Norrath. The veil has been removed from some of creatures creation, making them far less intimidating than they previously were.

With these facts in mind, do any brave adventurers once again deem Sontalak worthy of the Draconic Enforced Euthenasia Mandate, for the good of all on Norrath?

I hate this ugly Veeshan fether and would love to see its demise.

For Zek!

No. It wasn't the fear it's the aoe that hits whole raid not just the tank that's a bug? Correct me if I'm wrong.

From my experience it was a culmination of all the stupid AEs that wiped folks. If the fear is now more manageable it just becomes a burn fight which is way more viable.

Get better resist gear, scrubs.

Or just solo it on Phinny or something for 20 AAs.

I thought I heard he proc's Char like every other hit or something crazy. As for that AoE, I have heard of rogues stocking up 2 bags of wort pots to DPS that fight.

But that's compounded by the fear. You can heal through that with all kinds of coordination and clickies, but not when you're feared.

Need those instant-clicky junk buffers and to bury GRM and the good buffs way down low. Thats the trick to Sont. Like most EQ bosses , its 90% prep , 10% hitting auto attack.
Sont just requires a bit more prep than most mobs (a bit like Zlandi - who if prepped correctly is a total bitch)

[Kodim]

Sontalak just requires everyone to turn auto attack off if he flips, which no one does because they're warm bodies who don't listen.

Yeah...no one kills him because they dont feel like stacking junk buffs. How fucking brilliant are you? U shud gew shchtart da new besst riad giuld own serfer for reazies!

Afterall, you can just autoattack sont down with instant cast junk buffs so you must be better than the rest of us.

[icedwards]

His loot table is still just a ST key. Guilds will attempt him to gauge how tough he is but if it's a zerg encounter that relies heavily on reapers/soulfires/wort pots I doubt it'll be a contested weekly kill.

I want to kill him with no reapers, soulfires or wort pots allowed. Only mallets to hold aggro on tanks.

you are a glutton for punishment.

What about if only Paladins Soul Fired and only SKs used the Reaper

[azeth]

The only payoff for slaying Sont is a shot at a Matchless BP (Rogue BIS, and not by a lot) and an ST key.

The downside is its gonna run you 100k in refilling your shit as a guild. Also you can only hope EVERYONE recharges, otherwise when the raid cycle pops up you have half your guild without worts.

oh not to mention that even with a designated trainer, its still simple to end up with adds while you're fighting him. So not only are you likely to fail to begin with, but its hyper expensive and has little payoff.

And when you fail, then what? Give it another shot? Okay buff up for 30-90 mins, sit on your hands and get ready to drop another huge lump of plat on recharging people.

I personally think Shadow BP is actually better than the Matchless. Matchless has better resists but Shadow has it beat everywhere else. Matchless does have those fashion points tho...

As y'all can see it isn't the fear as happy points out.

Nice gif! Did someone get him recently?

There is an empty place in the hallway that was always full of ugly in the past!

Killed with 60. Lowest number ever. Zerg not, skill yes.

Yea Aftermath killed him a few days ago, he is severely nerfed it seems like.

Biggest thing with Sont is his 4 slot dispel AE proc that hits the tank and anyone around the tank. So if he turns and 4 slot dispels the dps more than once then your raid is over, turning off attack when he turn is the way to go. Yea his fear and AoE can be painful too but lots of dragons have those and you can HB/Wort heal through it. It's the dispel that wipes raids.

That last kill it seems he hardly procs the dispel anymore (although you still should turn off attack) and I was only feared once (with 255 MR) for maybe 3 seconds. Was able to use my entire mana bar on 1 Lure + 1 conc without zoning or getting a single buff dispelled, and he's a belly caster. Previously I was feared almost every single fear with 255 MR and his proc seemed to proc every other swing. Need less Worts than before, didn't use a single click, cleric HB'd the group fine, and I wasn't the only one. He's still anything but a zerg encounter though, right prep = he ded.


Skew is correct with EQ Raids being 90% prep 10% auto attack.

We can talk about skill once the Vulak Ring is implemented here. Until then, nothing in P99 will take skill. Just Time socking and willingness to show up / click your clickies to victory.

If you havent killed Vyemm 1.0 (yep, he got nerfed 2x after the first version cuz Red99 players kept QQ'ing endless) or Super Sontalak, you have no clue whats hard content in this box. Was fun. <Rampage> best.

Aftermath also killed super sont, in fact they are the only active guild currently around that did i believe

[Zekayy]

Aftermath still the only guild activly killing sontalak while the other guilds are to chicken to do it app now at Aftermathguild.org

Aftermath wasnt even born friend when Super Sont was around. So, try to spin harder somewhere else.

Also that Dannyl video best. Good times.

Keep spinning folks, its what makes it fun to check these forums. When a guild try to brag about killing the 4th version of easy mode Sontalak ... shit must be going south.

Gratz on your ST key and Death Pact spell.

[Lazie]

There was a strat that saved you like half the plat on Clickies. It consisted of having enough Rangers to Trade off Weaponshield dics until he died. The cost was largely just Mallet recharges on a few Rangers and it took a lot less Wort pots. Trouble is I think we only had enough Rangers on to do it like one time.

The hardest part of p99 raiding is finding the will to log in, followed closely by finding the will to stay awake.

So many p99 players shit on WoW for being "too easy" despite the fact the hardest content is fully cleared by a very small minority of the playerbase. We're playing a game where the hardest encounters involve clicking a healing potion and stepping out of line of sight twice a minute.

Makes you think doesn't it? The grind is where the game excels, that quest from 1-60, the epic that comes with it, and the fact that a lot of characters die when both of those are achieved :p

vyemm 1.0 was the easiest version this server saw

vyemm 2.0 was a result of rogean being mad that velious was cleared in 1 day by both servers so he gave him triple the HP he was supposed to have along with a much higher attack speed and max hit

vyemm 3.0 is the current version after it was proven he was nothing like rogean changed him to be, but he's still harder than he's supposed to be

You can do this with Warrior and Furious disc too. On live we would have handoffs between both wars and rangers. Between about a dozen of both classes you've got enough time to burn him down.

(That is, if his proc still weren't broken on P99...)

Oh wow, good job Detoxx and gang! Did you feel the fear nerf helped your success, or was it something you had on the cards anyway?

Is this something that will become a more regular target for you, or was it more of a one off 'lets see how hard it is now, just for fun' thing?

Was there a stealth change so mobs no longer proc on riposte? Procs shouldn't happen on ripostes... Or is turning off autoattack on flip more about allowing a tank to re-establish aggro more quickly?

"We gathered great force in arms, over one hundred of the bravest souls who had survived the Ruins of Kunark, to challenge this Ancient One. Deceived as he was by my alliance with the Claws of Veeshan, I landed the first blow, square on his nose; it was of no consequence. The first word of magic he spoke stripped me utterly of my magical wards and with a single glance, he turned half our army insane with Fear.
Overwhelmed as I was by his terrifying spells, I watched helplessly as my comrades were struck down, one by one. By the time I regained control over my limbs, there were only a handful of us left. Those priests who survived turn tail and fled. Injured, half-crazed, it was only by the merit of my stamina that I managed to escape his wrath and flee into the Temple of Veeshan."

Rampage killed Sontalak with 58 prenerf, only death we had that fight was an app cleric named Valars.

Either way, nice kill and grats.

actually thats quite classic eq. Later in the timeline he is supposed to get yet another nerf that makes him killable.
