Varsoon Add Room

Hest · 09-09-2009, 12:00 AM

Hi All:

Need a check.

Fight = Varsoon...

Group = Zerker, Dirge, Fury, Necro and Mystic -- of course coercer.

We kept having problems in add room. We were doing about 14k dps total..so we were really having hard time with the blades room but we would do it with very little room to spare on second circle.

We got into the fire room ok...

Then we got into the adds room. Now every time I have been successful we burned the adds, but not this time... The tank wanted me to mezz them.

I had a very hard time trying to keep 4 orange adds locked down and keep up power. As well as add dps because without me dpsing ...the dps was about 9k.

As a result the adds would sometimes get loose and I had to run around and get them. Not to mention I was trying to keep up power and dps some...

Now... It could be I just suck but I was told... "Not to be a dick but every enchanter I ever brought in here could lock those 4 adds down np."

Could very well be I am the suck... This is flames so have at it.

My fault?

My gear helps alot, but I just solo the add. They are stun/daze/root and don't have many hp at all. I can take one down in about 20 seconds from spawn, leaving me 25 seconds to go back on the named.

Holding down 4 adds is doable (I've done 5 in certain situations, it's honestly easier as an illusionist however) but how long were you having to do it for with just 9k dps? After a few minutes and a few lousy resists or running out of power, I can see something going wrong and wouldn't blame you, but I'd blame the lousy dps. I never tried mezzing those adds, so I don't know the resist rate or if I'd have other problems with it.

Adds were orange so got resisted about 30%ish of the time.

This is with allot of + to reset gear on and master spells.

My gear isnt up to yours but alwasy before it was myself and one other who got the adds down in 10-15 seconds.

as revel mentioned it can be done by an illy much easier than a coercer.

ive always done it burning them, doesnt he just heal like hell if you just mez?

To be honest i dont see the point to mezz the adds, never did it that way, just burned em, , its a waste of dps otherwise

Now that you mention it...he did heal when the adds came.

I was in a grp and they wanted to try and mez the adds also ... Hest, I believe your gear is about the same as mine, and it was a pita ... next time you are in that type grp just have the fury and necro target through you and burn the adds down ... the fight will go alot smoother and everyone you'll be able to keep everyone's power manageable.

Is the group mythicaled? Shouldn't be running into any power issues with a coercer, dirge, and mystic unless ppl are dieing a lot.

I've never mezzed the adds, but I assume it can be done because someone once asked me if we were mezzing or killing adds. If that is the case then I wouldn't worry so much about your dps and make sure the adds stay locked down. If you're just worried about mezzing the adds it shouldn't really be an issue.

Do the adds not heal while mezzed? I can't figure out how any group would be able to kill him with 4 mezzed adds healing him without ungodly DPS.

I believe they only heal if they get close to Varsoon.
