You also don't need to put Game breaking exploit fix now in your title, but thats just my two cents.

But it is one as far as that raid is concerned.

This is a quest npc in the plane of air. He is not kos but he is VERY powerful. He hits for ~1800 and death touches every 3 second. DO NOT attack him!

Excellent find. This matches my memory of raiding Sky in mid/late Kunark.

Great to see we're removing the trivializing of raid content and getting things closer to classic.

Edit from another player I raided with:

Quote:

i'm 100% positive sirren DTs
i can distinctly remember hitting A while handing in a key to him and getting fucking annihilated

Yay, some actual evidence! Time to pull some teeth.

It is generally never a good idea to either duel or cast area effect damage or stun spells in Plane of
Sky. On the first island, dueling will aggro the quest based efreeti’s underneath in the quest room who will
begin death touching players and wiping out the raid very quickly. Dueling on Gorgalask Island will cause
passing MOBs to consider you free game and will begin attacking you immediately.

Also adding this:

Also RE: Him DT'ing
Never happened, he just hits so hard/fast seems that way

Many Enchanters wonder about the why the fixed duration Dictate spell was even added. While the situations for its use are very limited, there are a few places this spell can be useful. The most noteworthy is Kael. The high level giants (55+) there are immune to all forms of Mez, but are still flagged as charmable. Dictate can be used in this situation as a 48 second crowd control spell. However, this spell outlived its usefulness back during Scars of Velious, and with the addition of the newer high level charms it has gone the way of the Dodo bird. Though, “Frozen Moses” and Sirran the Lunatic owned many a mob for the resourceful and daring back in the days of Velious. Ahhhh the memories of solo farming Shields' of the Void! But I digress, back to the guide. /wave Salidor

That poster from the runes is mistaken and "heard of it maybe".

This was incorrectly resolved.

I have raid guides that mention what is charmed as a strategy as well as the everlore data and more.

that is the one i use, it is dated but it gives a good run down of what goes on.

In fact, it was my source for some missing HP data plus all the quest data.

as far as killing sirran, don't bother, considering the amount of DTs someone is going to take just move him with the toon taking all the DTs and die. you can vet aa rez for full xp and it adds about 1 minute inbetween the sister kill he spawns from and the next sister kill. killing sirran is bad from all sources i have seen.

Sirran does NOT Death Touch. That is confirmed, as we've accidentally (sometimes purposefully) aggro'd him plenty in the last few months,
but never took the fight to the end. He never DT'd.

i didn't say he DTed, i said someone is going to have to take DTs anyway (from sister.) why bother killing sirran if you are going to be takeing 20+DTs anyway. just agro him, move him and die (you are going to be vet AA rezing all but 1 corpse anyway.) i was using a necro to agro him and then FD when he was moved out of sister assist range.

I didn't realize you were ONLY talking about farming the Sister, sorry. I was talking in general about whacking Sirran on any of his 7 different islands.

I retract my previous post now that I have a good reason to disagree with Nirgon. Unless someone can produce a screenshot of Sirran DTing someone I think it should be assumed that he shouldn't.

EDIT: It does appear that Artemis was a bard and this occurred after the bard charm changes/bug where it uncapped. However, this still shows that Sirran was capable of being charmed and is not flagged uncharmable.

Xoleres was the ranger who was the original leader of RoV. One day he showed up in all chain and shitty ass fine steel swords and told us he destroyed all of his gear (which was like full Ruby, CoF, 2 Ykeshas, etc.) to "inspire us to do better". I think another guild finally killed Nagafen or some stupid shit like that. Everyone got super pissed because we were basically giving him all the best gear as it dropped since he was our GL, and then after like a week he showed up with all his gear on and told us he tricked us.

Then yes, sometime later into Kunark or Velious, he "died" in real life and then mysteriously reappeared less than a year later and it turned out he staged the whole thing. People on the old Bristlebane message board (smut board I think?) used to call him Zombie Xoleres and had a lot of fun with that.

I was in Succoring Winds too. I actually stole the name Eyashusa from some guy in AO but I'm not actually him.

Does anyone remember the enchanter Brewe? His guild Bixie Busters, was the most hilarious guild name ever. I remember he pissed off the entire server when he rolled on a Cloak of Flames and gave it to himself. Justified rolling by saying it was All/All and casters have to melee sometimes too! Hilarious.

The whole Montes drama was hysterical too...and Artemis charming Sirran the Lunatic and killing everyone in Sky...good times. Any BB people still post on that board?

The Keymaster should also death touch if he does not already I've confirmed.
