Oh right, that gif shows Forsaken whipping on a Sont attempt. If you read guild chat, and if you can see /ooc Rampage when crazy calling stall on my pull when we tagged the mob into camp.

Rewl I love your gifs but is this shit necessary?

I'll bring my 53 ranger!! Don't have 100 on resist, but since I'm 7 levels over the req I should be fine, right?

Rangers @ max range are great. You don't need any resist gear.

Exactly! I mean, A/A should team up to make this happen. It's just annoying.

However, an open raid is definitely a bad idea and I'm afraid the original post is a complete troll. Sontalak is one of the few mobs in EQ that you cannot zerg at all. Once one person gets low HP, he will flip, and then rapidly proc a 600 damage AE on ripostes, leading to more people being low HP, and so on. This is what happened to Forsaken in Rewl's gif. Watching /who, they lost 30-40 people in a few seconds and the rest was just Sontalak cleaning up.

If you aren't L60 with 255 FR/MR and multiple wort potions/prayers your net contribution to a Sontalak raid is negative. I usually tried to group with Rewl for Sontalak because he would keep me alive and he was always checking /w and inspecting people and saying "Oh god, Players XYZ are making me nervous" (I think it was some Taken scrub called Cleratani, can't be sure). And then we'd wipe and we'd go check who died first, and he was frequently right [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Super-saiyan Sontalak is of course extremely not classic: we have a video of him casting every 12 seconds not proccing constantly, we have a video of Zlandicar fearing players an average of 5 seconds not 20 like it is here, and lastly 255 should make you nearly immune to normal AEs without adjusts not maybe 50% immune like you are here. It actually makes for a really fun fight, but no one is willing to spend the 100k for a ST key now that the Warders are gone.

Imagine if Sontalak was Aaryonar and not outside where he can be harmonied.
