how tough is the VSR fight?
 

I know regular VS is a tough fight but how hard is the VSR fight? Could a well rounded group of 55+ take him down if say you had a warrior, cleric, druid and three dps? Or would he take two groups?

I'm trying to figure out if I need to setup a full blown mini-raid or just get a group together and say lets go drop VSR for my epic and then hit the hole afterward.

Thanks,

Read up on the encounter over on the wiki page. Can be done with 3 good enchanters, a warrior and a cleric. Your best 2 chances are to buy the MQ or join a guild and sock VSR.

I'm in a good guild but I get the sense that druid epics are not exactly high on their list of priorities. And 25K is a ridiculous price for an MQ. I've never had more than 3K pp at any one time so to even save that much seems unfathomable. I am 3 kills away from epic and one is real easy and can be done by a single group that's melee heavy (Ulump).

But thanks for the reply.

the vsr fight is the vs fight

I read this on wiki:

You can kill Venril Sathir in Karnor's Castle, but why? Venril is a very tough shadow knight. He is only killed by the strongest guilds or big raids because he is level 55, hits for 300 FAST, has a 1000+ life suck spell and has three personal clerics that heal him whenever he gets hurt. This guy is extremely hard so you might want to be in a good raid guild to do this part.

Better thing to do is let some uber guild take him down. He gets killed for his loot all the time. His remains will spawn in 24 hours, or less. When you see Venril Sathir Remains on track, get your friends together, fast. The Remains will be indifferent to you and just stand there. Hail him and he will respond.

First, conjure a Firefly Globe. Dance of the Fireflies is a level 5 druid spell that you may not have even bought, but you'll need it for this. Hand him the globe. A new VS will spawn. Then give him the level 49 cleric Resurrection spell, which you can buy at any cleric guild. He will attack you. Step back and let your tanks take him out. Thankfully, this new VS is not as brutal as the original, but he's no cakewalk either.

So I was under the impression that the spawned VS through VSR was easier that the actual VS. Is that not correct?

The level of difficulty and tactics are the same.

The wiki is wrong there (and outdated - as it often is) Its exactly the same mob. Only difference is the "real" version has a different loot table than the "triggered" version for druid/ranger epics

Join guild whose priority is VSR. Problem solved.

Gotcha, thanks.

Just spend some time tracking for VSR. Check with an officer if he is up. If there are resources available, I am sure they will be happy to help aside from ongoing raids and/or higher priority targets.

It is definitely not a PUG scenario.
