New Fear, Cazic Down, Fennin Ro First =)
Written By: Credulity
Well, it seems like there was another challenge posed by Everquest today that was overcome by the people of Fennin Ro, that challenge was the new Plane of Fear mobs.
As I arrived, we were just finishing clearing the random mobs after the Dracoliche was downed without a hitch. The new Draco is lvl58 and dropped a few good items (See below). Next came the three minis: Dread, Fright and Terror. Dread and Fright both dropped without much of a hitch, producing some old Cazic loot and a few epic pieces. Terror was next and seemed to be a little bit higher Vox clone, throwing out a few death-touches along with a powerful AoE ice spell. Wiping out a few of us, but we all still prevailed.

Finally after bascially destroying all the Amys in the zone (using AoE and pulling the entire tower at one time) we buffed and readied for the first attempt at Cazic since the revamp of Fear.

First attempt went a little awkward, with Cazic hitting quad 600s and rampaging, along with that disgusting knockback effect that threw us around the zone. I must have spent 50% of the fight running back to CT. Was a fairly decent pull, although we had him quite centered in the zone, producing the death of our tanks one by one until we failed at 45%.

After the rez and rebuff, we decided to give it another shot with a more refined strat (we didn't know what we were getting into with the first fight). At first, Balrok went in for the agro effect on himself, with all the other melees following. Nukes flew, blades swung and people got tossed around until we finally brought him down. Not to mention the killing blow by yours truely. Was a nasty fight, but next time we'll be a little more prepared for it I think.

Grats to all on their rewards for this fine evening, and many thanks to all Defenders of Ak`anon and Silvan Rangers for finally working together as a team to bring down this powerful foe. Hopefully there will be a new beginning for Fennin after this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Draco Loot:
*Berserker Ring - Canable [SR]
*Grotesque Girdle - Unknown
*Zombie Flesh Bracer - Vargis [DoA]
Cazic Loot:
*Bile Etched Obsidian Choker - Talendor [SR]
*Pauldrons of Ferocity - Balrok [DoA]
*Vial of Veilum Vapors - Morgenn [DoA]

Incidentally, an additional item on the new CT loot table (velium vapors) is also mentioned in the previous post...

NAMED MOBS LEVEL DROPS
Cazic Thule 65 [with level 23 pet] Bile Etched Obsidian Choker, Brain of Cazic Thule, Cloak of the Fearsome, Eye of Cazic Thule, Halo of the Enlightened, Pauldrons of Ferocity, Robe of Inspiration, Vial of Velium Vapors

I've yet to see this item drop from CT since the revamp; making note of it here, in case it isn't on the loot table even though there isn't as much evidence.
