Priest Epic 2.0 Research & Discussion

The GD mobs just require multiple healers and the patience to sit around for 7 minutes per encounter kill. When I killed it, we had a defiler, fury, and inquisitor to make the healing reasonable.

 

Right, I knew that. We had Defiler and templar originally. That lasted 7 minutes with over 20m HPS. The last try we upped to 4 healers (yes, I know the heals don't overlap) for curse, arcane cures, rezzing, and to fill in gaps on port healing. We got them to 70ish % before we wiped with over 25m HPS. That is beyond absurd.

 

I did it with SK, warden, mystic, swashy, briggy and wizard without any charms. Sure, it was chaotic, but we all ran back to the stone area the mobs spawned at every time and it wasn't too bad. Fighting next to the basin meant that nobody got ported terribly far from where we were fighting so the run back was short and most people were still in range of heals.
We did all have fear immunity from the Bottle of Endless Courage, but that was the only 'special' thing we had.

 

It could be that you're not meeting resolve checks too, Medousa.

I believe all of the epic quest fights require HM heroic resolve. That is 290 or so.

 

251 by myself. We were well over that in the group.

 

Hmm. Could be that he fight was broken from the patch then. I'd have to ask around, but I'm pretty sure we didn't parse 25 million hps during our pulls.

 

No joy for shinies in Skyshrine, the 'in the past' version.

 

When did you do the fight? I am talking since the patch on Thursday. Pre-patch you could charm, post patch it is a cluster-f**k and unkillable.

 

I killed it before the patch, w/o charming. My group DID use a charm on the Moors guys, but not on the cleansing trios.

 

Seeress Ealaynya Ithis's Prophecies: Book Two
was discoed by somebody with a locked profile on Maj'dul today. Volumes 1 and 3 have been in the game forever and we go our clue in the 'den' of the seeress, so this looks like the update we likely need to see our shinies...
It seems the 'bound' portion of our clue may have meant book binding.

 

The 3 mobs in Ykesha are still charmable as of Jan 8th.

 

The mobs are charmable at teh start, but not after.

Also, a two group raid I was in got wiped repeatedly doing this.

Two. Group. Raid.

 

We just took down the three mobs (Kragis the Zealous - healer, Chirgon the Spellsinger - mage and Tarkas the Brute - tank) and our group makeup was Beserker, Templer, Coercer, Ranger, Troubador and Fury (me).

Our first attempt we tried several tactics but could not overcome the constant heal-ups they performed. We did try separating the healer from the tank and mage and found one of them (mage or healer) would end up routed and the Brute ran back and forth, almost like transferring the power being drained from us by the mage to the priest. After 20 minutes with no success we evac to the start and decided to read up on this forum. Hmm... charming the mobs...

So back we went, this time I used my fury charm (Charm Creature - lvl 10) to lock down the tank and pull him away from the other two. The Troub in our group kept the healer charmed as much as possible and while all in single focus we went after the mage. The mage's AOEs were now hitting the nearby charmed healer so it's health fell at a steady pace. When the charm broke on the healer, it healed up a fraction both the mage and itself; the fighter meanwhile being out of range was still in the high 90s only due to my minor AOE attacks. We eventually killed off the mage, released the healer then killed it and finally I released the tank and we killed it. This final attempt took 14 minutes to complete.

For Awakening Bonds: Whispers of the Past
A message was left for me in the Tomb of the Seeress...
Seeress Ealynya Ithis's Phrophecies: Book Two - Castle Highold (Heroic). Book on bottom shelf at loc 127.48, -87.60, -186.49. Kill the last guy in the zone.

Now collect shinies
Collection is found in Phantom Sea, right off the docks, red shinies, trackable.
Just Hook it, and start gathering, found all 6 there.

Once you turn in your shinies you can read the book


Not sure if it is confirmed, but there is a suggestion that the HQ A Source of Malediction is required for some of the further steps.

 

I've confirmed the location of the book and the shinies. I'm still not sure about the HQ, because I've already completed it on Jamisia.

 

The next part has 4 prophecies we need to decipher
From scattered chatter in discord one next updates is in the Priestess Court
1: The gray mouths of fear whisper of the flames of the first children
2: Enemies incensed unlock the sands of time for The Ungod.
3: The living dead can see the vessel the emerald spirits have hidden.
4: Moltor's hand will grip the Dog Lord's blade.


From scattered chatter in discord:

You must have Paw of Opolla in inventory to open the chest.
The item you get is Blade of Chirannis

 

Just finished watching a Necro, Warden, Assassin and Wizard take down the group of 3 nameds in Moors. They didn't do anything but keep the group together and the necro was basically doing the tanking and of course, dps the mobs into the underworld. Took them about 10 mins to do the whole battle. They had some really great gear on along with being part of a raiding guild so they knew their stuff.

 

With a warden present, they almost certainly charmed one of the named. You basically trivialize the fight if you charm one.

 

Step3.
after you get the quest ... klick the middle stone... see pic.

 

Update for prophecy 2: Enemies incensed unlock the sands of time for The Ungod.

/wa 11, 9, -34 in mara for incense. Found by Astfer of thurgadin

It doesn't update the quest, but it seems to be like the skull for part 3.. a step along the way.
