Verina Tomb  

I just solo'd Verina where she stood. I made the mistake of choosing a religion when I started this character, but I was able to get most of the mobs to dubious using illusion and collaboration. After finding out the hard way that you can't use DC here (guard was really upset at me), I just brought up my trusty enchie pet and gave him haste, umbra, MR, a DS and Bedlam. As for me I had Conviction and a few other buffs...just a bit over 5K hps.

First of all, you will lose some of your top buffs - she dispelled me once. Luckily that was my C4 and some other buff that I don't remember :). I tried to keep the pets health up with bedlam, but by the time she was at 80 percent health, the pet was nearly dead. I walked up to her to tank a bit and just started chain nuking. She is immune to stun, but I never saw her heal herself. She nuked me a few times though. I kept her slowed and dotted (she dispelled those once too) and she started running at 7 percent health. I was at 34 percent health at the end of the fight, but I had gate up just in case :).

The mobs nearby were dubious to me and did not add. Hope this helps someone.

Fallar, 61 enchanter on EMarr

Servers came back up June 15th at 8:30AM CST roughly.

I camped her non-stop on Bertoxxulous (including lack of sleep, woke up every hour to check, had /log files on to make sure no one killed her) until she spawned today June 17th at 2:20PM CST.

Roughly 54 hours on the spawn if my math is correct, from the time the server came up. Don't know if this is a standard spawn time, looks according to previous (really old) posts it could be random to a certain extent.

Does VT have a PH? from what im reading she dont. Plz someone correct me. Is Qrixat Du`voy a PH? OR should i wipe the zone :P and see what pops?

been checkin on her for over a month when does she spawn

Killed her last night: Necro, Druid and Chanter, all high 50s to low 60s (and another Chanter from the guild turned up near the end of the fight). Necro pet tanked most of the fight, except when she summoned one of the PCs in the group, we dotted her, slowed her, the Chanter sucked out her mana (she only got off one CHeal and one partial heal before dying, but did dispell a few of the DoTs), then we nuked her down when low on health.

Very easy fight provided you can prevent her healing too much. Being a Dark Elf I just ran into the cleric guild, pulled with Cancel Magic, guards and other NPCs ignored me, and I ran back to the zone-in where the others were waiting. Even when she was hitting me she was only hitting in the low hundreds, so I could tank her myself with the odd lifetap.

Oh, and I resisted all her nukes with about 200 MR and 120-ish CR and FR. No faction hits from killing her either.

Just started my chanter epic, was having huge success finding all the parts needed to get to this point (only cost me 3k for SMR waited a week but wasn't paying the 7k some joker was asking). Created a necro to do as suggested in earlier posts, ran to cleric guild and saw that Verina Tomb was up. Ran chanter to zone line, met up with necro so she could go buy pet spell, memmed it and headed back to Verina.....she was gone! Depop? I don't know. Been logging in necro everyday now for a week and have yet to see her =(. There is a rodent that pops right next to Orixat Du'voy. Could this be some kind o place holder? Killed quite a few as it's on like a 1 min timer. Gonna give up soon and go back to the check in program I've been on.

I created a DE necro just to monitor her. I saw she popped (beside High Priestess Alexandrian by the way). High Priestess Alexandrian is not a PH, as stated earlier. I arranged a group to gather, but while they were gathering I encountered a 65th cleric who was polling Brell enchanters to see who wanted the drop. I guess she enjoys soloing Verina.

This kind cleric soloed her while my group was gathering.

By the way, I tested a pull theory before the actual takedown. On two separate cases I did the following with my 1st level necro spy :
1) Walk up to Verina
2) Park pet right there
3) Run to zone entrance
4) pet attack.

In both cases she came running to pound me (with no adds) at the zone. Before meeting this kind cleric PC, my theory was to use my 1st level enchanter pet to generate a little aggro with no fear of summoning. I did not test it in the actual event, but my 1st level necro sure did it easily enough.

Got this idea from an earlier posting - so thanks!

Anyone know her respawn time?
I've looking for her all days when i get in and when i go log.
Never up
I wonder if those recents patchs her timer is beeing restarted and i need like 3 or 5 days without patch...

Anyone know what faction hits you get for killing her?

Just duo'd Verina Tomb thanks to the info on this board. 61 enc and 61 ranger. We snuck in and got all setup, mostly self buffed except for a few level 55 pally buffs (AC and symbol). I created a pet and hasted both pet and ranger. Then came the truly funny part.

Created a level 1 DE necro on a second account. Bought him his level 1 pet spell and gave him some bone chips. He summoned a pet, walked up to Verina and told the pet to guard here. Then walked back near the zone where we were standing and had the pet attack. Verina nuked the pet and ran to the zone and quickly nuked the poor necro. Most importantly -- she came alone!

Ranger opened up on her. Verina resisted cold based spells, fire based hit full damage, all snares stuck. She'd hit for up to the 170s, mostly went psycho on the nukes, nuking up to 600s, resisted some.

I slowed her first cast, she resisted nothing I cast (except she could not be mezzed). She beat on my rune a little but never broke it. I cast Rune of Zeb on ranger 3 times, really only needed to cast it twice since she ran soon after the last rune. I just chain cast mana sieve on her and theft of thought only once since she didn't last long enough for a recycle on that. By the time she hit 50% health she was OOM. Ranger never went below 50% health either, with rune he was even regening some back.

I'd like to say she was easy but it's better to say she's challenging for two people. This is one of the few fights in a long time I really enjoyed. This is how the epic should be done, a tough but doable challenge.

Level 65 enchanter with a few AA (Eldritch Rune III, Animation Empathy III, Quick Buff I, and Lighting Reflexes V, Gather Mana, plus a hundred more or so that don't matter).

Verina was up, so just zoned into third gate, cast my level 62 pet at the zone line, gave him some mage summoned weapons and a muzzle (purchased in bazaar), NDT, SoV, and threw a Rune of Zebuxoruk on him for good measure (not really needed).

Ran up to Verina (had wolf form with permanent illusion and was indifferent to all), cast tash on her and than spammed my pet back off key (AE III) and ran to the zone line.

I slowed her on the way over to the zone line and then just tanked her with my Arcane Rune. I made sure to position pet at her back.

It was taking a while, so I ended up sitting down and memming some dots and cripple and casting them on her too. Eventually I memmed my nukes too and stared chain nuking her.

When she gets below 50% health she starts to cast Complete Heal, so I just stunned her with Color Cloud (from LDoN).

Took about 4 minutes or so for her to go down. At 20% health she started to run, so I used Color Cloud to keep her near the zone.

Pretty easy... Now off to do Drozlin.

Woot on Sept 17th, at 4pm cst she went down on Druzzil Ro from Saqe 62 chanter from Refiners Fire and myself 61 Magi.

1. pull her to the zone the guards do not aggro no need to clear them out. Gave pet Walnan blades, muzzle, and belt. Used BO4 and Flameshield of Ro on him. Chanter pulled up pet and did her thing with hers:)) sorry not sure what special things she did.
2. used Mala to pull. let pet get aggro, chanter slowed, rooted also, and she mem blurred to take herself off of hate list or move her down. She recast it again when my pet was going down.
3. at 50-60% I started nuking with Firebolt of Tallon until was summoned. She heals herself. Dotted her, and started nuking again.
4. Chanter loots:)

Took us 3 times to get her where we wanted at the zone. Plus I 2 box, so I had made a lvl 1 DE cleric to help with pulling from inside before found out the guards dont aggro:( Was hard to pull her mainly because she would nuke me from far away and my pet would run to hunt her down. Then pet was killed and I was summoned on the onset. Almost was killed first time, but made it to zone. Had the lvl 1 hail her repeatedly until we could Bind wound to 50 and recoup. She got almost all the way back to the cleric guild by the time I realized to try that out. Second time we had her down to 39% but I could not get pet up from her hitting me in the tunnel to the zone out:( so zoned out bind wound to 50 had lvl 1 stop her outside the tunnel by the water (note she will swim across to the guild if you do not stop her, then have to repull her) Third time was charm, We killed her ****** Pet died but by my own hand at 10% while I was 10% away from finishing my cast on new pet. Chanters pet lived and so did she:) All in all a GREAT battle:) Mob was DB to me at lvl 61.

Hope this helps some of yall out:)
