Question - Captain Krasnok - Hate's Fury: Seventeen Pieces of Silver

[rouneq]

115 SK - ~400K hps/7.6K AC, max all AA, MQ2EsKay
115 Enc - max all AA, MQ2Enchanter
115 Mag - max all AA, RGMercs
115 Clr - max all AA, MQ2Cleric
115 Bst - max all AA, MQ2Bst
115 Wiz - max class/arch/focus AA (~44.4K), RGMercs

Don't assume I have the best gear available (only the Enc has raid gear), but this group is more than sufficient to take care of Zlandicar.

Captain Krasnok - 109 Troll Pirate Ghost War

I get this is a raid boss and not an easy fight. I've read up on what little info there is about the mechanics for this boss. Not seeing bubbles to take care of the dot. Also not sure what to do about the four Fist of Krasnok that spawn. Tried attacking them, but it did nothing (their regen is high or something resets them back to 100%).

Help?

u DO need a raid, u aren't gonna do much of anything with one grp
as of last yr if not the one before raiding guilds were not steam rolling it due to mechanics
the bubbles do spawn on the ground and are visible (circles), that is the least of your worry
I was part of a few attempts a few yrs back, full raid, never won it

If someone told u, its one grpable please share that info

Help me understand why someone would do this now? Isn’t the aug outdated?

You need to tank each fist on its spawn point to kill them. The bubbles spawn just prior to his shit dot. This is sadly a control fight, you burn him he burns you. Dot is % based bubbles are timer based. The aug is still nice and almost on par with current augs but some are just now getting rid of that aug and by next expansion it will be phased out.

Some people want the achievement.

Yep, gonna need a raid. Maybe not 54 people, but more than just 1-2 groups. As has been pointed out, the mechanics are really a PITA and not easily overcome just by out-gearing and out-leveling. Another mechanic that hasn't been mentioned is that once you get to the end (like the last 30% or so) a bunch of swords spawn and attack you. They proc a charm (100% chance) on anyone that they melee and waves continue to spawn as long as the boss is alive. They do *not* despawn when the boss dies. You will have to deal with them or you will lose the event. They can be rooted, snared and kited (don't summon) but can't be mezzed.

The deal with the AE and the auras is that the AE is HP% based and the protective auras are timed. So you must sync up your raid dps with the auras spawning and only push past the HP thresholds when you know the auras are about to spawn. This will probably mean that you have to literally stop all dps on the boss (damage shields, dots, ripostes, etc.). When you push past the threshold, the boss does 4 pulses in short succession that put the dot/mana drain on everyone. The auras cure the dot/mana drain by touching them, so you can just run in and out and get back to fighting the boss after the 4 pulses have gone out.

For the Range slot? I was attempting to follow the aug hunting guide.

Edit to add, I see I'm missing the Velium Infused Gem of Security which is a better aug for that slot anyway. Lesson learned.

Haven't mucked around with this since 115 became level cap, Have had the aug since it was current .. are there better augs now yes , but the extra corruption is nice ( in case that ever becomes a thing again ) ..the event gets the "bubbles - you stand in these to avoid the drain hp/mana/end " you want to damage the boss about every 3-4% when you can be out of the bubbles if you race car the dps ..you will get issues with the bubbles spawning thereby dotting your raid. at about 40ish % you get the 4 fists you kill the one in the front right corner and work clockwise around the room if you get an issue with them you can kite them around the room and kill them 1 at a time .. they stay up til dead even if you kill kresnok. if you follow the emotes you can pull them out of the log to find the script phrases to write trigger audio/gina . good luck . also to note ..you can just do the frontside of the ship bosses to get some coins it only takes 17 coins given to the door ...can be from multiple players ..instance opens after it receives 17th silver coin .

good luck Smashing !

I have burned this down with 2 boxed groups while completely ignoring the mechanics. You need a lot of melee dps because the silence and mana drain will kill caster dps near the end of the fight. The hardest part to deal with is the mobs that spawn at the end that charm. I just had the main tank use AE taunt and deflection while focusing the burn on the boss. Then cleaned up those adds at the end.

The Dark Shield of the Scholar is still pretty useful as a click nuke. Arguably not really worth the effort but it's kind of cool.

i did it with my two groups. it was far from easy and far from pretty. those blades at the end are properly annoying.
