War Caller Kaavi

allright, heres how it played out, had 1 rogue, 1 enchanter, 1 shaman, 1 warrior, 2 cleric mercs, warrior is 81 with 22k hp and 3500 ac, cmb agi lvl 17/ sta 16

there was 9 guys around the ikaav war caller, they could all single or double pull, mobs didnt hit hard at all, then pulled ikaav two adds spawned, Guardians of ikaav, i parsed fight, with shaman slowing ikaav plus adds did 319 dps to my warrior, so all i needed was a lvl 50 cleric healing me if that. took about 40 secs to take adds+named down.

Seems to be on a 24/25 hour spawn time. Wasn't up shortly after server reset, but since all the other epic mobs in bloodfields were up I figured it had just been killed.

We are a family style, casual raiding guild, raiding one to two times a week at most. This was arguably the easiest of my chanter epic 1.5 mobs.

We took down three groups. We had 56-70 but most were around 65-70. However, none were time, qvic, anguish, etc geared and very few had 68+ spells. It was still overkill. Ranger pulled sentries mutiples which went down in mere seconds. Caller became targetable and 10k HP warrior was our tank. He popped offensive disc first, two clerics had no trouble keeping him alive, one cleric was CHing who was not even waht would be considered elemental gear and one 70 cleric was spamming small heals. He did pop defensive then and was never in any danger of dying. We did have very good DPS. 70 necro with 1.5 epic, 2 level 70 rangers, smattering of Bls and assorted melee and three druids nuking.

Slow landed by chanter and shammy. Shammy was level 63. Cripple was resisted. Did not flurry or rampage but did enrage. Level 70 ranger pulled and got one guardian add, easily mezzed with felicity (what I used not sure on resist on lower mezzes) Ranger died on pull due to lag spike in the zone and warrior not grabbing agro quick enough. Took maybe a minute to kill with very un-uber peeps. gestimate about 30k-50k Hitpoints.

This mob is 1 GROUP doable... don't waste you's guilds time on it

Because there wasn't much in the way of real detail on this mob, we organized a three group raid last night, and completed it successfully.

When we arrived, we found War Caller Kaavi surrounded by the 6 Sentry of Kaavi (level 65)and 6 Guardians of Kaavi (level 68).

Our bard pulled, but it was impossible to pull a single as they were immune to lull. Pacify wasn't tried. Typically, a Sentry of Kaavi would come with a Guardian of Kaavi. We'd mez the sentry, and take the Guardian first.

During one pull, the Sentry of Kaavi resisted mez 4 times in a row, resulting in dead chanter (lvl 66 w/305 charisma), but was successfully mezzed by bard (lvl 68 w/310 charisma).

The warrior reported that the Guardians of Kaavi hit for max 600 with defensive up.

As Strats reported, after the Sentry of Kaavi mobs were killed, War Caller Kaavi became targetable. We pulled her, and got the last Guardian of Kaavi as an add, which got mezzed.

The War Caller did not flurry, or rampage for our encounter either, but we did have some people lose 1 or 2 buffs (they'd all been fresh) so I assume she debuffed.

Our Warrior reported that, with defensive up, War Caller Kaavi quad hit for 700 fairly often.

None of our people were elemental geared, with the average raid level being 64 for the 3 groups. May have been overkill, and doable with 2 groups, but we felt better safe then CR.

Tried this mob today with a 12K, 70 warr and 69 cleric, and myself, a 69 chanter. Mezzed guards, landed slow and cripple easily, but didn't have the dps to kill it. Got it down to 50% when warr's defensive wore off and things fell apart. Need a dps class to do this.

EDIT: Came back a short time later with a full group and completely tore Kaavi apart. I really think this is doable with 4, including a nice-ish tank and a nice-ish DPS, and that is not using Time stuff at all. Very doable with one level 70 group, bordering on overkill.

Anyone know respawn? Have had my BF's toon sitting at spawn point for a few days and neither War Caller or Sentries are popping. Only thing I've seen is Guardian of Kaavi

respawn time?

Took her down with PAL, MNK, RNG, BRD, KLR, SHM, ENC.

MNK easiely splitted her from her Sentinels. Fight took 2 minutes approx. KLR uses fastheals, SHM patched, I runed. PAL was in danger only once bevor the KLR switched from CH to FHs.

Pleace of cake thereafter.

Loc of her is -686 / 537

when Kaavi becomes targetable 4 level 68 guardians spawn

only 2 will aggro when Kaavi is pulled

and they see through invis

Becomes targettable when you kill all the Sentry of Kaavi mobs. Once pulled, two Sentinels of Kaavi spawn and engage (level 68, mezzable). Our tank said War Caller hit for 2k+, but she died really fast so it wasn't an issue. No flurry, no rampage.

Easily one groupable if you're prepared.
