Sontalak  

Raid Encounter
Screenshot

Uploaded July 24th, 2007

  • Class: Warrior
  • Enrages: Yes
  • The guardian of the Temple of Veeshan, this mighty dragon is a formidable foe.

You say, 'Hail, Sontalak'

Sontalak says, 'Why are you here, Human? There is nothing you can gain from this land but an unsung death at the talons of your betters. If you want to prove your worth to Dragonkind, it will take more than slaying a few giants to accomplish it. Far more.'

You say, 'Prove my worth'

Sontalak says, 'Slaying all the Kromzek would be a good start. But that may be asking too much of such weak creatures.'

You say, 'The king is dead'

Sontalak says, 'Yes, morsel? You mean to tell me you have accomplished the task I set before you? Then it is proof I shall be having, or it is lunch I shall be having, do you understand?'

melee is pretty weak, but flurries (hit me under 300)

procs 702 dd when he hits you...and procs a LOT

AEs for 650.
AEs fear.

dispells 1 buffs when fighting from side, 4 when fighting him head on.

has about 80-90k hp.

he dispells himself so if you debuff, you have to keep re-debuffing
first try on him

WE tried him over the weekend for the first time. I am not sure on numbers but we got him between 50 and 65% (conflicting results). We have ganked Vindi several times and this guy is one hell of a lot tougher. Anyone have any strategies they can share that may help us out on our next attempt?

All these posts of people getting whacked down...I've seen it done recently so I imagine it should still work, good ol Harmony. Pop him or have someone else pop him with it, run by, done.
RE: Try this
# Jul 09 2002 at 12:22 PM Rating: Decent
That used to work, Ive harmonied him lots of times, but last time I were running to tov, bout a week ago, he seemed to have a much larger aggro range and aggroed me long before I came to casting range.
Same happened today when I was omw to tov, tried to harmony but aggroed before I got in harmony range. waiting for a rez now :))

He also drops Voice of the Berserker and the Unspoken Word. Both are very rare spells.
Hard???

Just read over on graffe.com 's forum that
a group of 12 wizards mana burned him, modded
down, and then finished him off with regular
nukes.
Ouch!

Was pulling a corpse to ToV and my guild said he wouldn't agro if I stayed on the wall... got to ramp and he agroed :/ twas dead in a ouple of secs... his AoE is 650 and he hits hard. After you are dead he says "Ack! I must be careful not to step on the body, it tastes much better when it is still crunchy, not pulped!"
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 10 2002 at 6:43 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) 1 druid, 1 monk, 1 shaman got him down to 25% before wiping. just dire charm ice burrowers and keep sending them in. possible with a group of powerful well organized 60 characters.
RE: hmph

Dire Charm has a 45 level limit. Ice burrowers are lvl 60. Don't think you charmed one.

This dragon has been upgraded and is rediculously hard to take down. Most guilds on Povar dont even attempt him because of his 'risk verses reward' loot drops (ae. Triton, Rising Ascension, Inverse Logic, etc.) He is now unslowable, fire based aoe 650dd with a dispel of 2 slots - with this who cares what his melee is at this point, something like 750 max melee. Agro control on MT is nearly impossible.

Agro control is not nearly imposible. In 2003, agro control was very easy.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 15 2002 at 7:32 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ok...if you guys think he's realy that hard, try pulling vindi in keal.
RE: 350's ish?
# Jul 11 2002 at 9:48 AM Rating: Decent
OMG! Don't even try to compare Sont to Vindi. I have been on a number of successful Vindi raids. He is a cakewalk compared to this guy. So Vindi hits for 750 and can't be slowed. If you stick to MT strategy, the only healing that needs to be done is CHeal rotations on the MT. With Sont, you loose your offensive buffs (haste, aego, C3 etc...) and as was mentioned, Sontalak debuffes himself as well as us. He hits hard, AE's hard, and its not even a fair comparison to Vindi imo. Sont is meant to be a SOB to kill cause he guards the entrance to ToV against those who are KoS to CoV mobs.

#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 29 2002 at 11:52 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) oh and the whole manaburn with 12 wiz's thing is a load. by the time they finished MB and started modding they would be dead before they even got off any regular nukes

ROFL your comparing Sont to Vindi?? have you ever even tried Sont?? Even at lvl 60 with resists of 300 HE IS A B*&$@! hits hard and FAST, he mass dispells (4 slots and it dispells HIMSELF, ie malo, cripple etc all gone off him). He has one ae proc which is normal timed (ie every 8 secs or so) and one which is a PROC which is how he can proc VERY fast. Vindi harder than Sont? LOL please pass whatever your smoking this way plzkthx.

His dispell/fire dmg AE isn't a lure at all and his AE fear (MR based, -150 resist check) is hard to resist but it *is* possible with high resists, especially with the help of bard resist songs. You can't resist dispells though and I'm not not 100% sure how a combination AE like this works, but I can imagine it's seperate from the fire dmg component.

Not slowable
# Mar 27 2002 at 3:46 PM Rating: Good
He's not slowable now. Verant decided he was too easy since he wasnt dispelling slow anymore and made him immune.

To add to that, he also dispells an insane amount. I was dispelled about 20 times throught the battle. He's harder than any of the NToV dragons now. *shivver*
hmm

Yeah, if its skin had been peeled from its body and it was given wings. And that's BUFFALO.
I think he looks like a dragon version of Diablo from the Diablo games.
Ouch

This guy smacke me around like i was his ho(sp?) or something... i had a train on me while runing to ToV and i was hoping i could run past him with my jboots.. nope! He toasted me a lvl 53 warrior (2300 hp 900ac and ok resists) in about 5 seconds (no exageration) he hits for 350's i think had his AE is 700 something.. he AEed me 2 times in 5 seconds.. so remember OUCH!
#Anonymous, Posted: Oct 27 2001 at 9:43 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Slapped this ***** around a bit on prexus server. First try we got his health to where only the s in Sontalak was in red. Second time he dropped pretty easily.
his AE
# Oct 17 2001 at 12:42 PM Rating: Default
his AE is fire based, and dispells one buff and AE fears (its a weak form of fear though). Good luck, we tried at this guy a few times, but no luck yet. but he will be owned soon

". They also let you know if these mobs have any weapons, loot, etc...."

Loot info isnt downloaded to the client when you enter a zone anymore so they can no longer tell this.

He cons Ally to me after many hours of slaughtering giants (Kael KoS me =). He is really a nice guy when you get to know him...just wish he would come on a Kael raid with me...he could decimate the city in solo.
He must Die!
# Apr 15 2002 at 8:54 PM Rating: Decent
He hard and could probly takes most things in kael but i think he would be a good match for tormax and that the Statue and avatar of war would be able to take him. The evelest think a creature can have when against players is an AE though. ohh ya i have been owned my the Avatar of war onece he hits for 1154 and kicked me for 256

running past
# Jul 15 2001 at 12:55 AM Rating: Default
Slow does land on him, but he will dispell it. tricky little guy. really have to just zergling him and hope for low proc rate, -dex poison work too.

About the running past; after about 3-4days after he pops, as far as i can tell, he goes into non-aggroe mode and stops caring about people running right under him ;). until then you just need to aggroe him run to the wall and circle around him to get to tov. needs sow. jboots won't cut it. g'luck
