Guide - Zlandicar Reborn CoV Vid

I think I have run it three times since patch. Worked fine each time. Perhaps different servers are different...

 

[philreynolds]

well, that would explain that..

Sadly, i'm not really surprised

Test is broken at moment but they Fixed it for the LIVE patch. Are you on test Phil?

 

[philreynolds]

Yep, I'm on test.. so guess I won't be doing that mission until they patch test.. you would think that it would have been done the same time live got patched..

Yep I posted on forum and Ngreth responded. We should get zlandi fixed next week with the patch + WW update (No armor for us right now).

Ahh well, Gives me more time to work on the ToV earring quests

 

[the_ovenman]

Has anyone done this since the last patch? I gave it a try twice tonight.. Both times I get zland to 4% and nothing happens..

I tried turning off melee and hailing..
Tried just standing there letting my cleric keep me up with heals without attacking for a while

Nothing..

I have done this several times since the patch and at 4% he goes inactive and I get the chest. So far every time I get 1 ore and 2-3 of the new armor appearance augs and then the regular mix of loot

I have done successful runs since the patch but now he goes active but is invincible. He just stays at 100% and wipes my group. Tried 3x now, same result, he doesnt take damage after going active.

I aam not sure why but every once in a while he slaughters my tank right at the start. I go back an try again and it goes ok.

So I normally run 2HS on SK during this mission, since I want DPS and he's otherwise a pushover. And yes, he gets lucky shots off that can come close to (and once in a while does) kill my SK. Always have a lot of large HP drops especially early in the fight.

Accidentally left 1HS + shield in place for a run yesterday (who needs the DPS really) and was shocked that HP never dropped below 100% (I mean literally) for the first 10-15 seconds. Never went below 80% for the fight. Since then, have done 3 additional runs with sword and board with similar results. No big HP drops, no drama. While I expect a large 2H damage penalty, this seems overly large. It seems in one case I am on the verge of death, and in the other could probably go without healer.

So if anyone is having trouble tanking this one - can't hurt to go with more AC (stats for SK are around 8600AC with 2H, 10200AC with 1H). The diff in damage seems huge.

Maybe shield flash was up? Can you use the shield flash AA with a 2h weapon?

Nope. Need a shield in to use shield flash.

Also, MQ2Melee will use shield flash automatically, unless you disable that in the .ini settings. It’s possible that’s why the poster didn’t see damage for the first tick or so.

That’s what I’m assuming.

 

[vandersl]

Makes sense. Was thinking more along the lines of the 2H weapon stance penalty, but for the early part of the fight SF makes sense. Sometimes forget about all the little things the plugin is doing that I used to have to do.

Anyway, advice still stands if having issues with being 1-2 rounded early in the fight. Sword and board helps, even if not for just AC.
