Brother Zephyl in Rathe Mtns

[Audacious93c]

Ive been waiting on Hasten for days now. Isnt Brother Zephyl suppose to despawn after a while? Just curious if Im rather unlucky pertaining to when Hasten spawns or not. During the day, I check on the spawn at least once ever 4 to 6 hours.

[Excision Rottun]

Currently he must be killed, or server reset and have Hasten pop I believe.

[Audacious93c]

Everyone kept telling me it was a 6 hour spawn, but he had the chance to respawn himself? Where did that come from? lol As for killing him...

I brought together 27 guildies and friends to do him last night and he wasted us. We tried all the tricks. Worn Great Staff (didnt equip it). Tried Snaring him (summons /palm face). The healers just run OOM before he's even down below 50%. Anyone that has killed him recently, I give major props too. Props... or either I call you a zerg haha j/k ;)

[Excision Rottun]

can't find him, brother zephyl has been up for like 2 hours though. isn't he suppose to despawn?

According to the only post I could find on Allak he is supposed to complete his circle path and despawn....that post is 2006 tho.

It changes to that. Originally, if Zephyl was up, No JBoots till patch.

I searched "zephyl" and didnt see but one of those things? :(

Thanks for your help man.

He or a placeholder spawns every 6min.

He's been killed on a few occasions with 2 people, but with his improvement in that patch he probably takes 3-4 now.

[Audacious93c]

Feel free to try him with 3 or 4 people.. Let me know when you try it. I wanna watch :P

ah man thats funny

[yaaaflow]

Well I'm working under the assumption he was only buffed to be as strong as the other monk guy in south karana who we dropped with 3 people. If they actually made him much stronger than that it might take a full group, but I doubt it tbh.

The OP said they wiped to him with 27 people last night.

[Audacious93c]

Did you not read what I said about bringing 27 people to kill him and we had our butts handed to us? The guy quad hit me as a warrior for 206-305. :eek: Bare minimum; thats 824 damage per round and I only have 3500hp or so. As soon as the clerics went OOM, I was dead, they were summoned and we wiped. We only got him him to around 50%. I would assume I would have to double my healing force for the next half of his life and Im not even sure that would be enough. The dude is straight beast as of right now. :(

[yaaaflow]

Oh if he's only quadding for 300 still and he still only has 32k hitpoints then yeah definitely still doable with 3-4 people. I think you just need to work on your tactics imo.

[YendorLootmonkey]

I THINK A CHALLENGE IS ABOUT TO BE ISSUED

[Brut]

I thought the tactics were to locate a vendor who sells malachites and buy a full stack?

Everyone knows you need 28 people to kill Brother Z.

That actual seems kinda easy to be honest =/ You can survive 4-5 rounds? Fuck, we beat bosses that would randomly ONE round a tank in classic-SoV. A little luck and good healing or different tactics ftw.

MM hit way harder then that even without his AoE's and he was killed months ago.

lies ... its 27 people and 1 gnome!

[Uaellaen]

and to the OP .. not killing him with 27 people??? how many clerics did you have? 1??

quadding for 300s is not that bad ... dont eve have to set up a CCH ... look me and rumzuck up next try (he has 3690 hp fully buffed) ... bring 3 other clerics and and a handfull of dps and we hand his ass to him ...

[Uaellaen]

to do some more calculations ...

if i had to heal this alone, without clarity or feeds, you would survive roughly 1 minute (prolly would need a shm / dru to spot heal while CH refreshes on bad rounds) ... considering he would be unslowed the whole time etc.

so even if you dont debuff him at all, with 4 clerics you could fight this at least 4 minutes, and by 27 people everyone would have to do roughly 5dps to kill him within those sayd 4 minutes ..

Not to burst anyone's bubble... but we did it with 2 mages. =/

I would like a time stamped screenshot...

[Audacious93c]

Honestly, if you can do it with 4 mages, 2 mages it doesnt matter. Brother Zephyl was buffed so that he wouldnt really be killable on a normal basis. Its already been quoted in several places, read the thread. So honestly, if you can kill him with only a few mages and their pets... then something isnt very classic. Mages were spit in classic, no one really cared about them till Call of the Hero was in the game and outside of that spell... they were just slack dps. Before you say it, no it wasnt just because the pathing. The only people in this thread claiming that they can kill him easily are.... SURPRISE, IB. The very guild that knows all about using pets to kill epic encounter mobs. :rolleyes:

Edit: I never said he couldnt be killed, we are just disagreeing with the single group BS thats being rampantly spewed.

[TheDudeAbides]

I don't think you guys realize how hard and fast Zephyr is hitting now post patch

[maegi]

all this shit talking is exactly that unless you post some proof, ie screenies with dates and times. ..

[yaaaflow]

Nice necroing on this thread <3

[hrafn]

IB killing brother z with 2 mages was done before he was beefed up.

Wow... the guy who necro'd the thread to further talk shit wasn't even a member of the forums when the conversation happened.
