Overking BathezidFollow

My mage hasn't worked on Chardok faction, but it's something I've been thinking about doing. Think I could get faction to non-KoS by Sunday? I'll definately give it a try.

Have you been turning in skins and salts for Chardok faction? It takes a while, unfortunately.

If you can get a few wizard and enchanter friends together, have an AE party in Nurga. Run your druid around snaring all the little beasties so you get faction credit, and let them cut loose with the AE nukes/stuns. Mages are good, too.

No SoS for me until 63 and I'm pretty sure the golems see through normal rogue invis, it might be possible to get my druid to non-KOS as I don't think he has done any fighting there yet.

There will be more joining along. That's just the first base group.

If you can't do the pull to zone in you sure could use a monk or bard to split the pulls.

You will need a better Tank me thinks a 59 Warrior will go down quick unless he has a ton of AAs in defense. I have seen a level 70 SK with Chardok faction single pull and almost solo the overking, he only had 1 complete heal during the fight. Being the Cleric I don't know how many mobs were down there, but it was the most amazing thing I have seen him going down to target FD and only the King comming up

A 59 Warrior will not be able to tank him with the group discribed. Prior to the 60s cap being raised the Overking was a raid event.

Yeah. But it was a raid event designed for people in Kunark era gear. You can buy relatively cheap stuff in the bazaar today that's better by far then the absolute best gear you could get in Kunark. The typical well equipped level 59 warrior back then had 4-5k hps *buffed*. Today, that same warrior probably has 2-3k more HPs, and didn't have to raid for a year straight to get it.

I'd say two groups averaging low 60s should be able to handle him no problem. As long as you can clear carefully and take everything in small bites.

I was adding in the other folks who'd chimed in as well.

To be perfectly honest, the fight against the King isn't going to be the hardest part. If it was just him and the initial group that was posted, they'd probably be able to win. The difficult part isn't killing him, it's getting to him. They'll run into the most difficulty just getting through the first couple of rooms in the royals area. That's what they'll need more people for. Either that or much better CC then they've got.

It's really not an issue of whether their tank can handle the fight. He can. Even with a single group. It's the 3-5 mobs at a time they'll be dealing with in areas leading up to the king that'll be difficult.

Just some questions about this Druid pull thing.

You have a non-KoS druid go down, DoT the King then Egress, right?

As most people should know succor spells are the same as zoning. So you are saying that the Druid will pick up aggro from the DoT after zoning? I though the hate list is cleared and although the mob is Dotted, doesn't he 'forget' who dotted him?

And why wouldn't you get social aggro? Wouldn't the King have to make it to zone line away from any other mobs before the Druid re-emerges in zone? Otherwise wouldn't they pick up social aggro from the King as he passes by?

Point is moot unless I get the druid non-KoS. I have not tried to raise Chardok faction with this character. I have gotten my monk to non-KoS in Chardok and it was a bit of doing but not as bad as raising human monk factions in Antonica.

(Yes I know about turning in skins and salts)

I don't know for sure, but my opinion would be that once succor or egress has been cast successfully, all of the hate list is cleared, even if the mob is dotted. The mob may continue to lose hit points, but forgets who cast it. CoH sounds like the best deal for this situation.

But I have one question about this ordeal and CoH. If the mage who casts CoH is KoS to sarnaks, will he be put on the Overking's hate list (therefore dragging everyone mob in the way with him to zone)?

I spent 3 hrs in Nurga last night with my mage faction farming. I'll keep it up for the next couple days and hope it's enough time.

As far as I know, CoH clears aggro but with the next tic of the DoT, the dotter is on the hate list again.

This is going to be fun!
