Venril Sathir  

We killed VSR about 24 hours ago. When will VS spawn?

Just thought I would share my experience with this guy to maybe help others out there that are thinking of trying to take him down. I recently tried to solo VS (NOT VSR) as a lvl 70 cleric and here is what happened. He never once proced this stun/mezz of his (Sathirs mez). Not once. I dont know... maybe it only procs if there are more than one, or a certain number of people on his hate list, but I can attest that if you are soloing him, at least, he will NOT proc that stun. Secondly, he has INSANE regen. I stood there toe to toe with him for a full 15 mins and when i finally gated out (I was only at 80 percent mana but I realized it was pointless) he was still at 100 percent health. He usually resisted my nukes although I got a few partials in there, but inevitably he would regen literally 1 percent health per tick (6 seconds). Unfortunately clerics just dont put out enough DPS to take this mob down with the regen he has. Lastly, even with 500ish magic resist he still managed to slip a few lifetaps in, here and there for 200 or so damage. If I had a DPS partner, he woulda been toast. But I just dont see how clerics (at least) can solo this dude due to his regen and his penchant for resisting everything we can throw at him since he is highly magic resistant and all our nukes n whatnot are magic based (although I dont have chromastrike which that might have actually landed). But being honest, i dont think it would have mattered. A 4 or 5 sec casting nuke and he woulda regened 5 percent health which is probably what that 1700 ish nuke (with focus) would have done. All in all it seemed to be a matter of running in place if you know what I mean. I hope this might help someone. Clerics, get a dps'er and go tank his sorry ***. He hits like a girl. 300 max hit most were around 220 or so on a cleric with only the first 3 lvls of defense aa and 1900 ac with 10k hps. GL to you wizards out there!

ive witneced a Shadow Knight walk up with harm touch up with all AA's tjat can hlep it and BAM killed VS in one hit i think cause hes only got like 20k hp right?

I was wondering if anyone knows the exact spwan time on VS

Minor update for clarity: we killed the real Venril Sather (not the version spawned from Venril Sather's Remains) today with 9 players from a casual guild levels 55-70. Tanking him wasn't bad with today's gear and healing, but overcoming his lifetap healing was a little difficult. Our level 70 chars were able to land some DoTS and even some nukes after VS was fully debuffed. Once he had a bunch of DoTS on him we were able to overcome his lifetap healing and he went down after maybe a 5 minute fight total. You do need to get some DPS going or he will outheal your damage (as he did for the first couple minutes of the fight).

I believe I could solo the spawned version of VS, but the real VS takes a little bit more. Our group of 9 chars was just able to muster enough DPS to get it done.

does this guy drop the stone i need for my druid epic or do i need to kill a different VS?

I have pushed myself to my end limits to set this MYTH straight. I myself and a friend combined have stayed awake for 72 hours camping Venril Sathir. Every SEVENTY TWO (72) hours Venril Sathir (The level 55 Necromancer) Pops in Karnor's Castle. -- ONLY upon Venril Sathir's Death will Venril Sathir's Remains pop. VSR (Venril Sathir's Remains) Pop EVERY 12 hours after VS's death. Hand VSR the globe Summoned by the Ranger/Druid spell: "Dance of the Fireflies" you can ONLY cast this spell at night. - THEN, The Spirit of Sathir pops - Hand it the cleric spell: "resurrection". Once you hand in that spell an easier version of Venril Sathir pops in it's place. KILL the easier VS and loot the two gems. The normal, harder VS pops every 72 hours remember that.. if it's been 72 hours since the nromal VS died, VSR will despawn and the normal VS will spawn on time. (Thus all the confusion on when this guy really spawns!) Take it from us, we camped it for DAYS :D

Ode to boredom.. helped some poor druid down this to get VSR to pop. Shame my twink Necro couldnt get here to loot in time hehe.

*edit*- meant to post this under the Ancient Shissar Gauntlet item ><

does anyone know a spawn time > The Remains popped VS was killed today between 12 and 2 so when will the real one pop again

Took him down tonight for a Ranger friend. 63 Chanter, 55 Necro, 56 Pally, 57 Mage, 61 Ranja,57 Cleric. Chanter got aggro first(was on slows and the Tanks dropped the ball). He fell instantly (like Chanters do). Pally got the aggro and died instantly. Was 99% then dead. I stacked DoTs on him and fed the Cleric. Ranger tanked. Was down in 2 minutes with just the four of us. I posted this because this is the second time I've seen him use what seems to be Death Touch, not Lifetap. The first time he got my wife (the 57 Cleric). I just assumed it was because she's a Cleric, and had not many HP. This time was a Tank, with better gear and higher hp/ac. It may be a bug, or just bad luck. Just be warned.

Hey, i'm a little confused on this, but i think i've got it down.
First you kill the harder version of venril sathir.

Then his remains pop 24 hours (real time) later.

Then, you hand a globe of the fireflies to the remains and the spirit of venril sathir spawns.

You hand the spirit of venril sathir the level 49 cleric rez spell and pops an easier version of venril sathir, and once killed, he drops 2 stones used for druid and ranger epic 1.0's

So.. Could a 66 Magician (Time/god geared) And a 70 enchanter (Time/god/Anguish geared) and a 51 ranger (bazaar twink) Kill both versions of Venril Sathir?
