The catch is that MR is not capped on this server the way it should be. With a bard twisting 2 MR songs and a tank decked out in resist gear 400 MR is totally achievable even now. That number will get even higher in kunark.

True, I've seen my own around 330 with a bard in group. Curious if that number is factual or just titanium client related and differentiates from the server's #.

But even still, the lifetap is not the dangerous part of the encounter. Anyone who has taken VS on before knows this.

yes only because non weapon related procs (VS lifetap) is countered by Rune.

Actually I was thinking because he can only do it once every 45 seconds. His hitpoints are so low compared to many bosses that he can be burned down before he's able to do it more than twice. Even if he manages to heal himself for 3000 it's not going to do him much good.

It's because he can use it in combination with permastunning everyone close to him that he''s a bitch. But if you kill him in under 2 minutes the lifetap is honestly a completely forgettable ability. Might as well be a 45 second death touch. It's nothing special.

besides, chances are he would lifetap the tank and in order to counter that with rune you would have to be chain rune-ing your tank for the fight. While this is definitely an effective strategy it's not necessary for a mob that does so little damage.

But, as somebody said before, there are lots of ways to do this and no wrong answer.
