Yeah, if you're gl 70 you can buy both stifle immunity relics and be immune to stifle for 2.5m

Can't wait to kill this guy, sounds like fun.

Then get me a grp.. I am from Bazzar... Hell I'd pay 5pp for a grp .. 1pp for each person. I just want to finish this damn quest so i never again have to look at Pirate Jones.. Hell running raids is not as hard as the guy appears to be.. Or maybe its just me who knows..

He's tough, I got a chance at him yesterday before a raid, and we had Guard, Inq, Warden, Coercer, brig... wiped the second he became active on the first try because we were all standing on top of him, second try got him down to the first set of adds and adds got the coercer. We had to go for the raid, but hopefully I'll get a chance to get back in there with a similar group.

Essentailly I'm thinking of taking a MT group in there, 3 healers and a coercer or illy since he was going down so quickly dps didnt seem to be an issue... we also made the mistake of having the guard in the corner of the aft of the ship, and the adds agroed the rest of us first, think we will put the guard in front of the group so he draws adds first.

Think the group makeup i finally was able to down him with was a pickup group, but all the groupies were from the raiding guilds.

Had. Graudian, Dirge, Templar, Illusionist Swash, and me (swash)

I know I was using Advanced Warning as soon as he macroed in case he decided to try anything trickey right off the bat. Illusionist made Rrarrwk macro on his mezz then just aoe mezzed/stfileed/stuned adds as they came aboard.

Burned all 4 temp DPS buffs and i know the other swash did as well.

Dirge using Precussion on either tank if he was getting too low or on templar if adds resisted mezz for a split second.

gaurd I'm sure was using Tower. It all worked out to get him dead but once the update was had we wiped when all adds mezz timmers were up.

With that group took 3 pulls I think but had tried well over 20 different pulls with 3 other groups prior to downing him. Hah

<Advice> Form a group with primarily raiders. Generally better players and always usually better geared then the average casual pick up group player. This fight is about equal to an eqpicx2 encounter from what i've seen. I would say ranks with vikompt, but still don't think even that easy LOL

New strat... tell me what ya think.. it worked for a grp that went in and they done it on first pull.

Monk, Templar, Warden, Dirge, Swash, Swash

One swash dropped grp when they were on ship to activate the approach of the other ship. When Jones was aboard and agroed he of course killed the swash.. however the rest of the grp were alive b/c they were not in grp.

The rest of the grp stood by the zone out point and the Warden rezzed the swash after he was back in grp. The monk Crane Flocked (IE: Frontal AE with a long range, but only frontal.) the adds of the other boat.

They wiped out all remaining pirates on ship and when all buffs were up and ready they pulled Pirate Jones thus leaving him with only Rrarwrk to worry about.. so in all it was a solo mob in the end with no adds and nothing to worry about exept for the knockback stuns, ect........

Give me some opinions on this strat. I am going to try it tommorow night hopefuly it will work. If it don;t work for me maybe it will work for some of yall..

Temp....

I think the best thing to do is eveyrone pile in a corner and just prepare for some dps. The pet bird is a MONSTER averaging about 4k dps, however he can be mezzed and is a temp. pet he spawns the bird on one person and if he only stays on that person and kills them he despawns. He can be pulled off said person in which case he will go ape shit until despawned/mezzed/ or kills the person he was spawned on.

A few pointers i would say would be dont take anyone who is going to get crushed by the physical aoe, basically all casters. They can add dps but a dead dps will make the fight next to impossible. Stick with scouts for your dps and dont expect to 1 pull this guy. As stated above the bird does not always get spawned.

Start the pull with aoe avoid, use again at 70ish percent, and once that one drops use the other the 3rd one and keep burning. Mezzing the adds is great but not essential from what i hear.

The group i completed it in was Guard, fury, swash, coercer, dirge, defiler The swash parsed around 2k, guard, 1200, dirge 1100, fury and defiler next to nothing and coercer about 400 but he kept the adds mezzed

Best of luck on this guy to everyone, i have to say he is probably second hardest mob ive had to deal with in the fabled weapon quests, hardest being the guy outside VS door.

Terminate · 02-13-2008, 05:48 AM

we had defiler temp fury me(swash) guard dirge. Getting the aoe on timer helps for avoids. guard just pulled it all on him i poped miricles and melted his face in. wasnt that bad. zek's rending & battlegod's furor = win button.

would you guys be angry if i told you, you need to kill a harder version of pirate jones just before you get the mythical version?
