Derakor the Vindicator  

70 Ogre Warrior with 320 AA, couldnt do it with a cleric merc. Although merc was at 30% mana when he popped right atop me in the hidden passage way at the back.
Been in here for days just trying to get my Claw of Veeshan faction high enough to do the "summon throwing axe bracer clicky quest"

Soloed as 75 Ranger with merc, with around 200AA's + his 2 bodyguards ended up oom + merc oom but i killed him twice so above of those AA should be easy 04/2010

78 SK and I have been soloing this guy his last four or so spawns on Bertox. I can never find a statue of rallos zek before or afterward. I am pretty confident I know its spawn location. Killing Vindi doesn't seem to do anything other than well, make Vindi dead. Am I doing something wrong, or does his death NOT spawn the statue? I've heard it does and does not.

Regardless, pretty nice being able to solo this guy after he kicked my butt several times on raids when I was a wee little knight of darkness wet behind the ears.

((I'm sure its on here somewhere but just fyi had around 180,000 hp's today)) did about 300dps to me (cleric w/ 3kac and 40+ combat aa's)

soloed him about 6 or 7 times so far, haven't had statue up yet though :(

starts to Rampage at 10% we saw.

Killed Vindi today, solo (although raid buffed): 21500 HP, 2867 AC Monk with Brumals Fists of Whirling Sleet and "Epic 2.5" and suitable +dmg augs. Naturally I have Block V (but no Block mod) and way over cap on Avoidance and Accuracy.

Just aggroed him and his two guards. Killed one guard, FD, regain HP etc. Killed the other guard, FD, regain HP etc.

Pulled Vindi. Started with Riposte disc which didnt really do much, since vindi hardly managed to land a hit. Clicked epic for a quick 5K heal when it was needed, used Innerflame, used Heal over Time potion when it was needed, used Heel of Kanji and soon enough Vindi lay slain before me. Didnt need to use Scaledfists disc, nor did I need to use Mend.

Funny to see "this is a raid encounter"-mobs die so easily. Old world ftw. :)

Just downed him 10 minutes ago 3boxing.

75 Warrior - 700 aa's - 18k hp 3200 ac with Tenacity
70 Rogue - 250 aa's - 10k hp 2000 ac with Conviction
67 Cleric - 105 aa's - 6500 mana pool (Which didn't matter)

Anyways, I ignored Vindi's 2 guards and just downed him asap since the guards are weak, rogue took ramp like it was nothing. My rogue used 2 HoT pots during the fight from ramp. Cleric only CHed maybe 7-8 times. Vindi died within 4-5 minutes after I burned discs the whole time. Cleric ended with 85m, was watching tv and blew a couple fast heals on the rogue not paying attention to ramp otherwise I might have ended with Full mana.

Fight was a lot easier then I thought, HoT potions weren't neccessary on the rogue, could have just had cleric HoT him. Hardest hit was 400ish on the warrior.

Got the boots on a twink alt sk =]

I just did Velk, King T and Vindi within an hour 3boxing 70 Ranger, 70 Shaman, 61 cleric. All had Aego, Shaman Line, and Ranger line. took me about 3-5minutes for each fight, Sadly I can say they are quite easy. Max Hit from Velk was only 257, Vindi I got hit for 789 once, but most were below 300, and King T Max I was hit for was 498. Ranger who was Tank for Velk & Vindi sits at 11.3k hp, 1989 ac, 2459 atk. with thoughs buffs.
Shaman Had 10.4khp, 1895ac, 9798mana. & Cleric who was just basicly an innocent bystander only has 6.9kmana 8khp with thoughs buffs. for Velk I just did the normal kill mobs in near by areas, charge him and his guards and slaughter. (Could'nt land spells unless right under him) Must be belly caster like dragons) Vindi, I cleared the Giants near WL Zoneline then went and hit vindi with Immolate and headed for WL zoneline, when I got close I turn around and snared Vindi zoned out, zoned back in guards gone, Vindi still hanging out. Landed Balance of Discord with shaman 3rd cast. Killed him, very easy kill. Now, King T he was a different story. I had to pet pull him away from his guards, he would'nt stay at zone line for me. after pet pulled, I decided to tank with the Shaman and click TS with ranger + Shaman's 1.5 + Auspice and Ferine Avatar = Make me kill alot faster. Over all, these all raid mobs are not doing to well. I think we need a revamp. I just called for the people in zones for all loot, except for the ST Keys which are what I was after and got 3 of, I had key on Ranger, and Gave the 3rd to my cousin's bard in which I was keying for as so she could go get a dwarf mask. Good Luck to anyone looking for a challenge, I'm off to find a real one.

I as a 75Cleric can solo "Derakor the Vindicator" and have 5 times so far for faction to Dain.
If you just kill stuff in front of Temple, all guards and protectoers then make sure all buffs are good and med to full (if you need). Wen Derakor the Vindicator comes closest to you at end of walk way use MoM and MoR to pull him to you (extra dps for cleric :p). If your wise to your buffs and know how to set them to best use as malee you start casting DR when ever needed and let VoW do the healing from there.

Can do statue and Idol same way if you pace your self. Last time I did Vindi I used about 25% of my mana, took about 7min for me to kill. Can not use pets as he will kill them rather fast and waste your mana and dps to get another one up. His guards are easy to take out at the time your dealing with Vendi.

The one I am concerned is AoW, with some one there to slow AoW I might be able to kill him also but not tryed as of yet. Just wish I knes total HP's, pet hammers are more than likely not going to work as with any named giant in Kael.

on my second attempt. after killing his guards first, i finally solo it on a cleric.
Had DI poped twice tho
had only selfbuffs,potions and KEI

I attempted Vindi last night with 3, for kicks. 67 Pally / Cleric (9.3k hp and 6.4k mana respectively & Two boxed) and a pretty well time geared 70 Beastlord.

The pull was the easiest part. Cleared the majority of the Arena (including and especially around the ice wall). Pally ran in, cast Desist (no damage stun) on Vindi, and ran around ice wall while BST picked off the pets. Because Vindi was agroed with a stun, the Pally had a good amount of agro but couldn't be summoned. Pally didn't even have sow, just Run 3 and was able to easily outrun Vindi.

Also found out 9.4k 67 pally can't tank Vindi with a single cleric healing ;-).

I recall long ago, when vindi required a raid force, where the main tank required a good ch chain and other tanks would shoot arrows to try and lock down ramp as the giant was on his way to where we would usually kill him. I remember when the people on rampage died and it went to healers, that wasnt good!

Only a few days ago (the day before the dodh patch), I sucessfully managed to solo kill the giant, the fight taking 11 minutes 25 seconds from the first attack round. Derakor slain by a cleric, it's still hard to believe. Just crazy what mudflation can enable people to do ><

Killed him today with lvl 67 and 70 nec 70 sk sham 70 bard 70 and cleri 70 was an easy fight he was down in 4 min droppt breastplate, head and heart

anyone remember the respawn on vindi? Finally got some well earned revenge on him w/ some friends, and we kinda wanted to get the BP for all our plate alts, and he alwasy seems to be up on my server... thanks.

Hi all

We did Vindi the other day. Our 1st try with 3 people wiped. We had a ranger, a pal and a cleric.
Then for a 2nd try we got some help. A enc, a 2nd ranger and a botted cleric (by the 2nd rng).

Cleared whole arena. 2nd Ranger pulled Vindi, me (1st rng) and paladin taged a guard each on incomming while the other ranger kited vindi in the arena. We killed guards then he brough back vindi and we took him out.

From the parsing with Yalp i get this data from Vindi:

DPS: 467
Max Hit: 692
Avg Hit: 396
Min Hit: 109
Fight Time: 5:06 min

I tanked, had about 11k hp with all defensive aa enabled, but no shielding at all.
1 cleric kept up heal over time on me and covered the paladin who was ramp tank the other cleric chealed me at 80%.

Hope it helps guys. Was a fun and exciting fight.

Regardst to all

Have bard pull Vindi and guards, Highsun Vindi, kill guards pull Vindi again, wham, loot up.

Sorry should have added - Vindi guards are more like pets, as such can not be split they will always warp / arrive on raid when vindi's singled out. The only way to do vindi safely is to dispose of pets 1st.

Recommend aggro on vindi (no dmg so he doesn't summon) then kite him while kill off guards.

Vindi can be killed with few ppl these days, I killed it with my friend both of us 2 boxing (4 chars total) but the cleric quvic armored n pal has 11-12k hp's. If your not EP/time/Quvic armored still prolly need a few groups.

Guards can not be charmed, I suggest DC from outside if your hp's aren't enough to deal with charm breaks with little risk to group (DC from arches are best). Otherwise my new favourite pet is Dlammaz Stormslayer (near tomax arch hits 600ish). Hasted he cuts down fight time on vindi but he's a bit magic resistant hence suggest mage/sham/druid debuffs (not slow that spoils the fun). Next time im upgrading to a sent tho with OoW charms out.

Pulling plans depend on what sort of pet if u want to use enc to pull monks probably better but ill talk about what i know... I find new strategy we use is to set up near icewall in arena, non vindi side obviously =) then get puller (enchanter) to tash n cripple (synapis spasm) vindi then basically run arround and arround the ice wall while making sure not to get hit n that pets not whacking on vindi as = summons = bad. When vindi's guards are down then use soothing words (monk i guess FD) n get tank to tuant off not using dps (hence pal better) n you have a vindi thats been crippled n debuffed from pull. Warning whoever circles vindi will be on rampage. Enc these days can prolly hold there own on rampage with runes. Ive used this ice wall (or circle arround the areana depending on raid dps vs repop time) with monk sk n now enc pulling. GL

Is this guy one group doable now?

Anyone know what the spawn timer for this fool is?

Can not be snared, nor can he be slowed. Both will stick on the Temple Guardians. You can run Vindi around until the Temple Guardians are tagged and killed. If you have the tankage and the healers, then by all means have a group on each then focus on Vindi when the TG's are dead.
