This is old news now but some of you may not have heard of / be interested in it.

Cleric Solos Avatar of War

so I don't mind titles. but the valourous the adventurer? really EQ

At level 85 with 5000 AA's this doesn't even stun me. =(

I remember that fight with a raid of level 65's though, good times.

Yeah, quite the encounter. It's a shame it's fallen so far, but that's the way things go in MMOs.

I first did AOW when we were 60, and those 1100 quads + frenzy absolutely terrified me. My palms were sweating. I was just a recruit for the #2 guild on the server; and they had yet to log an AoW kill. That was their first, that night.

Years later, I returned with some guildmates. We were all from a post-Uqua guild (gates of discord) at 65 with a few hundred aa's a piece. Perhaps 15 of us, with a few alts in their 40's and 50's waiting to pick up some loot. One of my proudest moments when I became the first non-warrior (paladin) on the server to tank the fight. Wasn't particularly hard with 12000hp, but I still was fairly pleased.

Still one of my favorite encounters of all time. In it's era, that AoW delivered a whallop that there just wasn't gear to reliably handle. Even 4 expansions later it was a multi-group encounter. Not many mobs that can say that.

And that is the kind of stuff that made me leave eq :)

You have to admit the staying power of EQ, though. It's taken a long time for people to be able to solo ancient content, while in WoW, people are already able to solo original world stuff. Now there's some mudflation for you.

Lots of things happen like that nowadays. Clerics are beasts at soloing.

Kind of makes you wonder what it takes to wipe a normal exp group in EQ these days.

I would like to think that the potions he was using are very expensive and/or involve rare ingredients? Or is that not the case?

(I stopped playing around GoD.)

I keep in touch with some of my old guild / friends on live. and apparently your normal trash mobs hit for like 8k in the new zones or something. All seems a bit over the top now :p

I left my chanter on live with about 30khp... All seemed a bit too easy :/

AoW was always a fun fight. I preferred killing ssra nameds though :D

How far the game has fallen. From Everlore in 2000...
