Killing Brother Zephyl
 

What does it take? I soloed him on live 10 years ago with my 65 monk, but can a well geared lvl 60 take him on or do I need a group?

You're gonna want a 60(ish) plate tank, min 2 clerics, some sham/enc haste/buffs and about a full group (ish) of dps.

Here's about what you can expect for damage

How hard is he to spawn? I need to get going on my Monk's epic at some point. Haven't done a single damn thing outside of KC pipe.

He's on the same cycle/pathing as hasten bootstrutter. he's up frequently due to Jboots pushing the cycle along. Despawns after 4 or 8 hours iirc..I forget!

(You can always be nefarious and kill hasten(drake, and/or ranger as well)) in an attempt to spawn Z! Polite thing would be to OOC and check if someone's doing jboots before you kill hasten though.

Killing Bro Z is no small task as he is consider a guild master. 100% need a warrior with defensive, 2 clerics, a slower, and a couple DPS. A solid group of 60s can do it, but it would nice to have more like 10 people to make it run super smooth.

I tried to trio him with warrior shaman (60 with torp played by me) and 1 dps.

It did not end well.

Torpor and burst heal could not keep up and I never had time to try a slow as I was too busy healing. If we kited to preslow it may have been doable with that setup but I can’t imagine it’d be fun.

Warrior cleric shaman + 3 dps should work assuming he is slowable and you kept torpor up to buffer between heals landing.

Is better to do Bro Q. Two epic npc's in zone let you you take him down as a duo given enough soulfires and reapers. You can skip the corpsing of soulfires by doing it with two cleric but wheres the fun in that!
edit: I forgot to mention the strings and pulling him to birdman's emporium to keep your charges up

Bro Q isnt a garaunteed lost circle robe though....only a 20% chance

Can confirm Torpor + burst is not enough to keep up a disc 60 warrior. You'll want a couple of healers and some dps. Recently did Brother Quim, who I assume is basically the same fight.

You'll no if he has robe through graphics.

Quinn is much easier iirc.
