Just wanted to ask somethings, no strats just some stuff i would like to clear. Since now im the RL sustitute, trying to get some info on this mob.

First, I know fighters cant do dps because it cause that annoying curse to keep going, but I was told that no melee can happend or it will cast the Force of Hatred curse, wanted to know if other guild forces their scouts to do range dmg or it's not a factor?

Second, what does divine maelstrom do, besides AE divine dmg? Just want to know which one should the healers cure if the Force of Hatred or the Divine Maelstrom.

Third, my guild wants me to tank the mob with just taunts, sigil and holy ground, I tried it today, but like a min in, the mob started going all around the place, i was using a brigand as amends, what would you guys would advice for amends, the brigand, a ranger or a caster like a wiz or warlock?

Pet pull mob far away and curse will not go off when a fighter tanks him, tank it in a corner. Joust the AE ( find the right distance of how far you can go back or how close you can be one drains health/one drains power ). Save holy ground and taunts for when mob drops you down the hate list. Rinse and repeat, takes time, but we three grouped the bitch and it just took awhile. He hit's like a pussy anyways. I used a brigand for amends.

For the stoneskin, tell your members to stare at their chat box. If they see stoneskin go off stop the CA's and just autoattack and count to three and start again.

Thanks for the responces, we tried the scouts, but we only had a swash with an assasin assisting, and it wasnt going very good. I was holding the mob last night but when the raid started going faster the mob started bouncing and for some reason it casted the force of hatred, I wasnt dps and no other fighter either

Reposte perhaps?

If that is true, that is intriguing. How far to pet pull him? Like to the entrance?

He is going to ping pong regardless how hard you taunt, it is part of the script. Think of the Tactician fight in MMIS. He drops you down the hate list, rescue gets it back, holy ground gets it back, brigand's appeal gets it back. Just takes time for you to get back up the hate list.
I can even do a strat for dummies 101. Pet pull far away, tank taunt mob off pet puller, tankity tank pull mob to corner.... now everyone fuckin bunch up and hold hands. When we call the timer get ready to joust out, after the AE goes off, everyone continue to hold hands and play grab ass together on top of the mob. Rinse and repeat.

We killed him twice now in a corner area between where he starts and the entrance. No curse went off both times, but I can tell you one con about this. If someone revives he seems to always target that person and run off.....quite interesting, I think of the Benny Hill song when I see him run off. So I am guessing he doesn't leash at the entrance since we have seen him run all the way to there. So I am guessing you could pull him to entrance. Zerg ftw I guess!

I get the memwhipe to healers, since there are several mobs in SoH who do that, I was talking of the hard part of holding the mob while the casters and rangers go trigger happy on this mob.

The pet pull is interesting

Nailz

It's part of the script, you are not going to hold the mob in one place.
It's like gimp ass Demtrius Crane, just beefed up a bit.

You know, I always hated encounters like this that forced everyone on top of one another. Everytime I played it out in my head, I always thought how rediculous this type of strat was. And unfortunately, it's a great working strat for many encounters in the past.

It's this reason that I wish friendly fire was part of the game. Damn, I play to much Call of Duty.
