Garudon  

Anyone solo'd this think a SoF and SoD geared 75 necro fully raid buffed along with a Fully raid buffed 72 tank pet can solo? Necro has 750aa's all the pet aa's DoT crits combat agility and Stability all done. Pet would raid buff to about 17k Hps. Plan was to send pet in to tank, slow it with undead slow because it's undead right? DoT while i use replenish companion to get over the first initial HP loss of the pet while im slowing, i can stand in for the pet just in case for 3 rounds i believe if im life tapping. From there just dot and heal pet with the 73 pet healing spell chilling renewal. Any opinions?

I just wanted to exp in the theatre area, but someone had spawned Garudon earlier in the day. To fast forward, this guy wiped at least five times throughout the day.

I took my 4-box in there, 70 warrior, 70 cleric, 65 shaman, and 54 ranger. The ranger went down fast, but that is ok. The shaman was able to Malo and Slow (with Turgur's 6.5 minute slow) and stay up for most of the fight. After the shaman dropped, it was a race between Garudon's HP and my cleric's mana. Neither the cleric nor the warrior were ever successfully hit with the AE which seems to be the toughest part of the fight.

Sadly, I was ninja-looted when I was rezzing the ranger. Someone took the Dukatlos that dropped. I got a little vindication when they went to let his other character loot the epic piece, but I got to it first (the guy that was trying to kill him all day). I linked the epic 1.5 piece to him in tell, then I let him know that I detroyed it. I guess he shouldn't have looted my kill. The funny thing that really pissed him off is that I was going to let the zone know that the 1.5 piece was there for anyone that needed it. Heck, steal my loot, I'll get pissy and smash everything else.

Last night guild raided Gaurdon and only resisted my cold spell once rest of time it landed and he took full damage. It took a while for us to kill it, 15 people lvl 45+ no one died tho.I'd say it did have about 300kHP like i'd been told. it Droped Draconian Idol, Breastplate of the healing waters, and Garudon's statue. Ran at 2%, and only got about 2 adds. Also, i had used Vet AA the resist one and it didn't get any spells it casted to stick on me (Only casted a spell once)

could a time gear + ranger (almost 10k raid buffed) and a decently geared cleric duo him?

Dropped this guy with 7 people, could of done with less. Tank never dropped below 60% except when he was silly and forgot about enrage. Helps having a pally doing 11k slays and a 16k tank.

Dropped the ranged, shoulder and epic piece. Damnit, I wanted the blunt for me monk.

My guild got flattened twice trying to get this bugger. We made a 3rd attempt last week and won.

Our raid consisted of 20 people. The average level was about 65. Our MT was a lvl 70 warrior with elemental-grade and better gear (a friend of the guild). Other key players were a lvl 70 bard playing his best resist song, .and 2 clerics

The dragon first resisted the 66 shammy's slow, then the 68 necro landed a partial, but by the shammy tried again and landed a full slow.

This guys resists like an undead. Do not waste your mana on disease, cold or poison spells. Magic and fire based land the best,but expect a few reists anyways. Melee types need to suround the mob. This guy has the tendency to get pushed easily. The bouncing around makes it hard for the main tank to stay in range and all the poor casters underneath as well.

Rangers can fire from the top of the bleachers on the far side of the room as you enter.

Everyone in your raid should have their best cold resist gear on. Buff fresh cold resists right before starting as well. Everyone that has the veteran reward that maxes out your stats should use it now. My experience is that cold resists over 300 seldom get hit with ae and the maxed out 500 resists every time.

When we spwaned the mob, the MT waited in the middle of the room (spawn point). With the balance of the raid up against the wall in the corner where there is an alcove leading up to another set of steps. This keeps you out of aggro range, but not AE range. The tank builds aggro while the clerics spam-heal him. When aggro is set the tank calls for assist and everyone joins in the fun. This is when the melee can surround the mob and the casters get underneath.

Garudon dropped 3 items for us: Moss-covered sleeves,Draconian idol and Garudon's statue. Kind of anti-climatic, but we had a coulple of younger toons who actually could use the gear and and enchater to take the statue.

I just tried this dragon with the most elite monk on my server a 70 cleric a 70 chant and a 65 wiz, we got are asses handed to us in 30 seconds, Ch didnt pop offf in time it killed the monk and then the cleric etc. etc. this post is wrong he quads for 1k and his ae is a mean DoT, his hit points are not 250k either with monk beating on him we got jim to 90% in those 30 secs, and at 500 dps that means he dont have 250k hps, more like 100k, hes one groupable but need elite warrior and 2 clerics not sure if a shaman can slow but chanter got resisted, uless ur time equipped or better, stay the fook away

How hard does he hit?

my guild & i just tried to do this guy for our enc....the post is soooo wrong he is not 68 conned white to the 70's in our guild...& futher more the -80 resist check is also off i have 305 cold save & his nuke landed every time he thru it my way so way off on save also

he doesnt fear and doesnt dispel

1 problem his pathing and his hitbox.

he looks huge but imagine hitting a gnoll :) since his hitbox is small :P so pile your raids force around his bellly and poke it

First of all, thanks to Jandoedel for being the only one to post some usefull information here. I to am sick and tired of seeing people boasting about there lvl 65 toons with time gear and tons of aa's saying that they solo this stuff for thier twinks. First of all we could care less and will just vote your post down, also how do we know your telling the truth? Flame me if you want but thats just how I feel. At least post some usefull info if your going to boast and brag about your kill. Anyone else feel the same way about people boasting about how they solo kill stuff on here?

its bad info for most to see sso many unclear info on this site.

this mob is not doable with 6 unles u are perfectly geared for it. he quads 98 or so his ae proc is hard to resist at 150 cold resist (i had 268 with bard and resisted it for 40% of the time) he procs quite a bit.

he doesnt rampage. he doesnt flurry. this guy has lotsa hitpoints. about 250-300k i think fomr our fight.

we wiped on him with 24 peeps. so the 6peeps that 1 group him prolly are 6 level 65 with resist uber 400 and alll atleast 10k raidbuffed with tonns of aa points. and a s tnak with lotsa lifetap aa's.

for smaller guilds. bring about 18+ people and make sure the area doesnt bug your melees. wehad troubles hitting this mob while near. also pathing is screwed. he isnt permarooted.

and pls for the 1 group geeks. inform aout your gear quality. i get bored of raidleaders that actually take that stuff serious. for a family guild or a medium raid guild this guy is doable with 18+. for a heavy guild it might be pos with 6 with best circumstances (btw dotn count on that 18+ actually works u need a good coperating raid force for that 24+ is better)

Don`t bring a tracker lvl 30 while someone kill this mofo, AE reach this room :)

Would like opinion's from ppl who have actually done this with a small force on whether or not a force: 65 shammy,war,cleric,bard,bst,chanter,ranger,mage,63 wiz and 59 cleric can do this.
We are all fairly well equipped and very experienced and regually do raids such as ferubi farming,aramin,shade ect.

Think a 65 BST, 65 Nec n 65 Cleric can take this? All have decent gear, w/ BST over 6k hps raid buffed? If not, what class should we bring?

Hiw hard does this guy hit??

This the boss of Veksar? And also, how many people will it take to kill this dude? (Also like with the people, what classes you want and how many) All thanks appreciated. Thanks

which class Slow could land on him?
shm/nec ??

Just wondering for those who have spawned Garudon, does the spirit despawn afterwards or could you spawn and fight dragon multiple times providing you had enough bone shards?

Though the weapons coming off of this guy are DEFINITELY worth the effort, what about the armor? For a guy of this caliber, shouldn't the BP's AC be a tad higher? Just a thought, though I may be wrong. It just seems that a few of the items are below par in comparison to the rest of them and how difficult he is.

i am guessing he is like the dragon in CT.. u need melee range to nuke~

Today on the Kane Bayle server at 1:15am EDT ( Sunday the 29th ). Garudon was taken down with 19. 2 clerics and 2 druids as healer, with a paladin as a tank.

He is roughly equal to KT, but with an AE. The AE is easy to resist IF you have 300ish save versus cold.

He dropped Ceremonial Kylong Shroud ( item already in database ) AND

DRACONION IDOL
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Slot: RANGE
AC: 25
STR: +10 DEX: +5 STA: +10 AGI: +5 HP: +60 MANA: +40 SV FIRE: +8 SV DISEASE: +8 SV COLD: +8 SV MAGIC: +8 SV POISON: +8
Recommended level of 45.
WT: 0.2 Size: SMALL
Class: ALL
Race: ALL

As it has already been stated you must be right on top of him or else you'll get the oor message for melee.

He is only partially slowable ( as our necro said, shaman slow wouldn't land ), and has a max hit of 970ish.

Just to give you an idea of what you're dealing with. Our MT said that Garudon did roughly 250000 damage during the fight, and did from 600 to 800 dps. Our wizard said his 5500dd did about 1% of damage to Gorudon as well. I wasn't paying attention to % throughtout the fight since I was the token mana battery for clerics, i.e. 65 necro.

Seriously. to the person that said he's a little tougher than trak is full of it. Go one grp Trak, can take him with a very good grp. Go one grp Garudon and you wasted numerous hours farming theatre. CT is gimp compared to him as well, did ct with 14, no way of doing garudon with 14 either.

Supposedly is slowable, didnt land much on him other than malos, tash (i think) and malicious decay. No slow, no unresisted nukes, straight melee.

6 grps of 60-65 ToV/Ssra gear would be enough to take him. probably 5 as well but without great gear it could be a waste of 10+ possible hours to wipe and get no loot.

If anyone has any info on the number of peolpe you need to do this guy could you plz post here or at least post here that i can E=mail you for the info, I, as a ranger, would truly love this BP, I'm an AoB junky and this BP would last me well into the elemental planes... I can easily get together a 65 group... Pally Ranger Cleric Shaman Rogue Mage... do you think this group of VT equipped characters could drop this guy? its sad, but this is one of the best and attainable BP's for a ranger that i can find.. that and i don't have the points to actually roll on any of the ssra/vt bp's atm hehe... thanks in advance for any help you can give

This guy will be very easy for guilds capable of VT, Emp, Tier 3 and 4 ect.
Probably a little harder than Trak, but he dropped very quickly.

Only annoying part was his very very small melee range. Made it hard to get everyone attacking.

He dropped Shoulders and Legs for us.

Ok.. who let the pet drake out of Plane of Hate?
