Lewt Up! : Deserting the Ranks (Hard) 210+ hp

Here is a little info a few of my friends and I got together. A very easy way to get some decent loots. Its not a wide variety at all. But its fairly simple, geared more towards the plate class, and 1 laether lol. Anyways on too the details. First off you need a monk/sk to do this. I used a sk as fd and tank was much easier to handle. The mission is Deserting the Ranks (Hard). Get the mission (Zahn in US gives it out) and proceed to zi in RoI. I boed this with a sk/clr/rog easy as pie. Have the sk fd and warp to on of the yellow cons in the back room, he should be laying on altar, then stand and run to nw corner, dont take ur tie as if you hang out to long hell get up and whack ur ass and then u get a shade. So stand and run to nw corner. Then run up ramp to trigger first phase. Soon as u get update message, tae the veil you got from Zahn and give it to the guy on the altar in sw corner , you get and update and run ur ass back to nw corner and fd. mind you should be sprinting this whole time, stay fd till the captain pops. takes about 3 ish mins. Then snare pull/fd him out pack to nw corners, engage and then warp healer/dps down and badink fresh lewts:
Undershore Fish Liver
Illsalin Enforcer Boots
Illsaline Enforcer Greaves
Deepskin Head Band
Sharp Tooth Fossil

I have seen all these drop so far, will update if i see any new ones.
P.S. Do Not Leave the Room once you begin script you will get booted to zi and have to start over with new mission!

Well, with the other one you don't actually have to *do* anything. ;)

All you need to do
1. Warp to back room with all the shiliskin legionairres.
2. Give Shroud to one of them.
3. Wait in corner till Draygun spawns a Captain.
4. Split Captain and pull him to a corner, where your healing/dps ought to be stashed in that room....
5. Loot insignia. Win
 
Even better, dont loot insignia, run back over to Zahn, remove all chars from task, grab new task no waiting the 45mins ish to get another task. Go back rinse and repeat till you full up on all the gear.
 
Or just warp succor have all zone out. Once they are all outside zone back in.
 
I'm having probs with this, Emp Draygun pops and spawns those reanimated guys and they aggro anyone in the room.... and Emp Draygun despawns pretty fast as well... gonna try it a few more times, but seem like you have to be fast as shit or it wont work.. also, the guy on alter i warped to in SW corner jumps up and aggros you soon as you come out of FD... anyone else haveing same probs? Any tips?
 
Have tried this several times... the prob is you have to fight a bunch of the reanimated guys... they auto aggro anyone in the room, so there is no way to just single a captain, you have to fight several mobs. Dunno how you guys are getting around that?
 
Have your fd class get the mission where it will be handed the viel from Zahn. You can zone all your toons into the instance. Have fd class warp to loc -544, 47, -89 to update the task. Warp to -663.17, 141.44, 112.52 and hand in the viel to the shiliskin there, which is on altar and should be fd. Warp the fd class to the nw corner which is -527.98, 173.34, -109.62, this will be your camp. Keep all other toons besides the fd class at the zone in. Emperor Draygun will spawn and run around turning shiliskin's into reanimated mobs. Wait for Draygun to despawn and at this time a reanimated captian will have spawned. Now you can move your group to the nw corner where fd class should still be. I move necro to -591.11, 173.34, -109.62 and attempt snares on captain. Once you can get him solo, pull it to the nw corner and slay it.
 
what do you do about the other reanimated mobs auto aggroing from across the room?
 
After the Emperor despawns the mobs will not auto aggro like before. Just keep the fd class in the nw corner and the group sitting at the zone until Emp despawns.
 
Is this possible with a 65 nec as the fd class? I could bring other 70's (pal,clr,dru,bst,rng) in for actual final fight.
 
I think the necro would have to be level 67 for the required task. I'm not 100% sure though. I did try another hard task with a level 66 and it lowered the avg group level too much for the certain task.
 
Would be hard....I cant think of a way to do it without....Unless one of the shroud forms comes with FD?
 
Never seen a shroud w/ FD.

I was thinking maybe I could do it with DA, warping and /fade, but I think that would take some precision and knowing exactly where to be , etc.

By the sound of it I'm not sure I'd have enough DPS to take down the capt anyway (70cle, 70 shm, 70 pal) as it sounds like adds will come if you take too long.

Might have to try it just to see sometime, greaves are very nice.
 
If you leave room with any character that has already entered it, mission resets and you fail
 
Did this without FD, took sometime testing, but this works. I did it with tank, kiter, healer. Kiter runs around(get FoE in undershore) until capt spawns. Now quickly warp ur 2 other guys in a safe corner (get loc before hand and warp to exact spot). Then have kiter die away from them, but before he does snare the capt if you can. I got several resists and ganked fast.

Once snared, or not, just die. Clr sums body rezzer then kiter either tries to snare again and run other mobs to the other side and dies. Then tank tags single and tank'em in a corner WARNING DO NOT PUSH INTO A WALL. He will warp back to spawn, and well ur going to die. Had him to 5% 1st and he did that. Tanked normal without slower not super uber tank either. Hard would be an issue for me but not for other so good luck!

Edit: Do not fade! Counts as leaving and ull get kicked.
Edit:Do not /fade I meant.

I just lull the two adds and single pull the Cap or kite mez then pull cap to group and fade. works fine for me either way. =)
 
I wonder, could the whole FD class be replaced if set up as a macro using /warps, /fades and /warp locs. Not good at the code thing, but couldn;t /warp turn ins ... then succor blah til capt pops, then /warp tag /warp fade warp fade etc to clear pull mob? Not sure as I have never done this mission, may need the FD class to be sure, just curious.

Bah NM Newb missed other posts above lol

This isn't the case, you just need to make sure one person stays inside the room. We send the monk down to FD, then the druid down to snare then warp succor and zone. Works like a charm.
 
I will probably be doing this all day today, so I'll get my husband to tell me how hard he's hitting. I know from a healing standpoint that the hard and the easy version hit very close to the same.
 
One is lvl70 one is lvl72, both quite easy as long as you dont push them onto walls. If you can handle regular 70-72 dod content you will be fine.
 
the second rank after kobold cleric is a goblin who can FD, its a rogue too
 
This Still working? Anyone try shrouding to a FD class and successful in pulling Boss Single?

In addition, can a 10k Buffed Tank Normal or Hard mob? Tank hurting for gear lmao.
 
Worked before the patch. Haven't try afterwards.

FD shroud works well. Spliting the mob would be a bit hard due to the strange pathing & warpping issue.

I guess a 10k tank could barely do the normal. My tank is 13k buffed+2kac, but still dying occationally on hard when mob suddenly aimed very well :P
 
I was able to kill him with my SK, had 10.5k hps, 1900ac at the time. That was on normal. Went back and tried him on hard, he's not that much more difficult, but he did kill me at around 30% or so. I think that if you back away after being summoned to make him come after you, it will give you enough time to get healed.

I had a shammy healing me and a mage dps'n.

He's on my revenge list, so I'll probably be trying him on hard again, soon ;)

Good luck taking him out!
 
do these mobs see through SoS? was wondering if a rogue could do this using escape to lose aggro
 
This guy is a joke :P He's very easy to split and on normal he hits for like 1k max. Even on hard he is extremely easy. My 12k hp sk tears him up well worth the lewtz!
 
There is a lvl 99 warrior in zone when i pull up track, It is called a invisable man? anyone else see this while in this zone. Wondering if this is a gm or not.

Thanks

Well if you are planning to do this mission dont bother,, I just got Suspended By Buglex got 4 of my 5 accounts suspended. The only way i think he seen me was after you warp in to the alter, and update task and emporer spawns. Along with him spawns a lvl 99 warrior named invisable man, Which is untargetable. After the Emporer despawns the invisable man stays on track. Guessing they have some sort of program set up to track. Only way i can figure out how he got me.
