Miscellaneous: Venril Sathir aoe tap

[Treats]

More digging on the Riposte thing, seems NPCs and PCs should work the same way. The difference is only between Weapon and Innate procs.

Venril Sathir should definately be able to proc Deadly Lifetap on a Riposte:

Weapon-based procs: CAN fire on a MISS but CANNOT fire on a RIPOSTE.
Innate/Buff-based procs: CANNOT fire on a MISS but CAN fire on a RIPOSTE.
(Proc cannot fire if the Mob Ripostes and Misses)

Proc cannot fire if the Mob Ripostes and Misses? This is kind of difficult, does a Ranger or someone else know any old logs of Flurrying or Rampaging through Weaponshield? (I think I remember this happening but I'm not positive)

This is in line with what I posted earlier:

Weapon procs are calculated per combat round while Innate procs are calculated per hit I believe.

Another guide here:

Strategy 1
Times Implemented: 5
Times Successful: 4
Times Failed: 1
Note: Failed attempt had someone pull aggro off MT which broke down Rune Order/Target, Healed VS from 50% to full life.

Buffs

No resist buffs are needed, Lifetap cannot be resisted. Normal raid buffs are a good idea, but HP buffs aren't needed on those who won't be tanking VS. (It will just feed VS More life if someone screws up and gets aggro).

Potential-tanks or people who have a high potential to get Aggro should have Rune-Line and Bedlam-Line spell prior to pulling.

Melee should always turn on attack only while facing his back. One riposte could mean 1600+ Damage to someone at 1500 life to VS. To put in perspective how important that is, that just negated half a minute of you attacking - and that's assuming you can do 50DPS against VS. (Its probably less)

VS has special aggro rules where Rune V does not pull very much aggro at all; Good thing too, as it would make him exponentially more difficult if this was not the case.

Interesting also they note that VS has special aggro rules regarding the Runes.
