Sontalak

[lurk]

Definitely should proc the mage spell 'Char'. A lot.

Sontalak was listed as extremely difficult to slow and he dispelled himself when it did land. For all intents and purposes he is considered unslowable even though you can technically land it. In 2002 it seems his dispel broke and Verant made him unslowable instead.

I lowered MR slightly, changed the proc to Char and added AoE priority so he will not skip spells. Fixed, pending update.

Thanks Alunova! we look forward to testing him after the update, so he should now proc Char a lot and molten breath.

Farm status with char proc, he will be a joke.

Char has no resist adjust so it seems it would be easy to resist but I doubt it with the level difference. This is an evasive fight imo.

How does adding an additional ability make him farm status?

4 slot AoE dispell
+ 650 AoE with another single dispell (This is why some people thought it was proximity based)
+ 700 dmg single target proc
+Dragon Roar
+Dispell Self

= Stacked Dragon

He should proc Targeted AE, not single target.

Sontalak was not a "keep the tank alive and you win" fight.

To defeat Sontalak you had to kill him before his Area Damage decimated your raid force.

Your entire raid force will be able to stay alive for one minute even if they are taking the full 650 damage from each AE and he only procs that shitty Char.

Trust me, he will be an absolute joke.

Ya never mind the rechargeable mallets on a burn fight either right

Truth be told whatever is era appropriate is best

Dragon fear is easily beaten by strong blood pots (or should be) then you just mope his ass up against a wall

He should proc both char and his 650 dmg AE. When i tested sonta on live the only spells that had a cast message were:

[Wed Dec 31 11:01:53 2014] Sontalak begins to cast a spell. <Beholder Dispel>
[Wed Dec 31 11:01:48 2014] Sontalak begins to cast a spell. <Dragon Roar>
[Wed Dec 31 11:01:56 2014] Sontalak begins to cast a spell. <Annul Self>

No cast message:
[Wed Dec 31 11:02:12 2014] You resist the Molten Breath spell!
[Wed Dec 31 11:02:15 2014] You resist the Char spell!
