Killing Stanos

[Arior Windcaller]

So, Im a 54 Rogue and I want to round out my mask collection (as much as I can that is cause I'm never getting barb mask and lets not talk about gnome masks)

I was wondering if any guilds on server go after Stanos and can I join?

OR is there anyone who knows the pull that can teach me and my friends (I raid with Lighthouse) so that we can get together a night of Stanos killing fun

OR is there any interest in a night were the server bards and rogues come together to get a bunch of heads?

Thoughts? Thanks!

From a hopeful High Elf Rogue

My former guild and I had a Stanos night a few weeks ago. We ended up w 2 kills w no Head drops unfortunately. We were low numbers and spent a good portion of the night setting up the pull/learning and fine tuning the fight. I’d like to get another night of Stanos killing in myself as I still need his head for my Rogues mask. I’d be willing to share what I learned w you to help speed things along. Send me a PM w your in game name. If others are interested can post here as well.

why even pull it? just harmo everything around him, spawn, and kill?

[Videri]

Great idea! <Castle> would be interested in teaming up to collect some Stanos heads for our rogues/bards. I'd be happy to tank on my 60 warrior.

If demand isn't too intense, maybe we could do a server-wide open Stanos farm for a few hours a week where we get a crew together and let any rogues/bards over a certain level random.

Hold on, I just realized this is for Blue server. XD I do NOT have a 60 warrior to help with there - just a 55 wizard. However! I will share this with <Castle> Blue and see if they're interested.

In game name:

Arior is my rogue

Ellykk is my monk

Can also occasionally find me on Sparkee my wizzy

I'd be down for this. I remember seeing a Stanos farm back when I was level 25ish and wondering what they were up to. Would be fun!

cause I've heard he does a zone wide summon

Honestly never done the fight so I don't have ANY idea of the mechanics behind it...was hoping someone with some knowledge would pop up and help out!

High Elves for all!

Arior is correct, once aggroed Stanos does a zone wide shout aggroing tons of his buddies to the loc of his initial aggro, thus requiring some trickery to avoid that train. We were able to single pull him to Kith zone line w the way we did it, but took a few different people performing specific roles to make it happen. Itll make more sense once I show you in game.

[OneReign3]

Also, he's not a pushover by any means. We will need a minimum 3 cleric chain, a Defensive Warr, and lots of melee dps as he is unslowable and immune to almost everything in addition to having insane regen so everyone /q'ing at the end to avoid faction will usually result in a failed attempt.

What faction are they trying to avoid getting?

Sounds like a vindi lvl mob

Carson McCabe (-?)
Corrupt Qeynos Guards (-?)
The Freeport Militia (-?)
Highpass Guards (-?)
Merchants of Highpass (-?)

Thats all?

Pfft big deal like you need ANY of those factions

[OneReign3]

Rogues might want to keep Highpass Guards faction (the one Stanos is actually on) to make getting their Epic a little easier. Faction is easily repairable by doing the following quest:

damage shields are huge for stanos since he hits fast and is unslowable

have the WARs bring Kilva's pots, get a DRU/MAG, a BRD to group with the WAR, and they'll be shitting out about 100dps in damage shield alone

[Pulgasari]

does stanos see invis?

[OneReign3]

I'm unsure about that TBH, but I don't think so. As a Rogue, you can still complete the Epic using sneak, but you have to be careful as Anson and Stanos face opposite directions.

[Arior Windcaller]

Ok so sounds like there possibly is some interest

should we start getting a date set up? finding people to give this a go?

I know having talked to some people who have done it...once you get it down you can kill him like 3-4 times an hour I think they said? should be getting plenty of heads over the course of a few runs

[OneReign3]

I’m down to do a run next Tuesday 4/26 at 7pm CST (8 EST). Silvani in game.

stanos is triggered by saying a phrase to Anson, and there isn't a cooldown on it. your limiting factors for kills per hour are WAR discipline timers and cleric mana.

[Evia]

I'd love to come along for a shot at a head! Lmk when!

[Vador981]

I'm down!

[Arior Windcaller]

Plan is set!

Tuesday April 27th at 7pm central (8 est, 6 mountain, 5 pacific..no I wont go more) for some Stanos killing action!

we have guaranteed 1 60 Epic warrior on hand to tank. Sounds like at least a couple clerics and some druids and at least a bard (so DS is taken care of)

Lets keel him 6-7-40 times!

[Allishia]

I'll try to come too but no promises, my schedule during week is busy...wish it was on a weekend :p

You can be sure, when I understand the pull I will be putting together more of these. Stanos is one of those mobs that can be done OVER and OVER

[OneReign3]

I'm bringing some Kilva's Skin of Flame DS potions. Can't wait for his head(s) to roll!

Does General V'Ghera despawn when given the Head of Stanos?

Short answer - Yes

So you gotta think LONG and hard if you pop General and he's got two weapons. Finding the 4 robes isn't THAT hard...but it can be a nuisance for rogues

[Vador981]

20 kills, 9 heads, hooray!

Clever rogues know how to do the hand in without the need of faction.
