Thought Horror Overfiend  

Add Warsong of the Vah Shir 60 brd spell and Shock of Fiery Blades 60 Mage spell

done with one level 81 wizard and her cleric mercenary. i wanted the belt.

engaged at 40% mana as the thought drain landed when i engaged the trash near the edge of the cavern.

battle took about a half hour. just kept meleeing until tranquil harvest or harvest of druzzil would pop, then casted until it was gone.

yes, i got the belt of marvelous visions, on my first and only kill, along with winterstorm, koadic's and a few other spells.

85 Beastlord , soloed him today, took about 30 mins to beat him down, he has a ton of hp...

nothing spectacular dropped, was mostly boredom that drove me to beat him down...

Keepers of the Elements
Luclin server

Can anyone confirm that he still drops the belt (since Summer '08, to give a timeframe) at this point? I'm at 14 kills with no belt. I'm gonna keep at it, but no luck so far. I have at least 1 of every other drop, and I've got a STACK of cleric hammer spells.

Update: 19 kills, no belt. Now that Ssra is a hotzone, I expect to see competition for him on my server, which will suck. I've had a couple people step in and kill him while I was at work, so I've missed a couple kills.

75 war (14.8/3k) all def's, 75 clr 9.5k mana all healing aas, 73 shaman 20ish aa 7.5k mana. Couldve done it with just clr/war but sham slow helped took over an hour. Clr just chealed when i hit 60% and i was able to med with him VoW'd for dps when he was FM sham was useless except for cripple and turgurs

In center of the big room SW on map just before Ssra zoneline.

on Maelin server

is he bugged spawn since tss?

does he see invis?

what is respawn time on this guy

It might also be helpful to have remove greater curse up as a healing spell. The OOW mobs that have mana and hp draining curses are the worst, but any mob that can curse, if you have this up it should be np to get rid of. Could also have enc cast int sup for anti fizz, prob have not had that buff on me since lvl 8, but these are some idea I am having from all these posts. I plan to duel box (healer, slower) while a friend tanks him. You guys have given great info, so I know what to expect.

There is still ways to prevent yourself from being hit by the enfeeblement ae proc on the cleric. Any EP geared dps tank type could duo this with a cleric. The only problem would be respawns and buffs staying on long enough. That all being said. I did him today with paladin bst monk dru cleric. Fight took 17 minutes. only buffs were group buffs. nuff said grats to dooma for a new clicky haste belt.

THO Down !

Duoed him yesterday with 70 cleric (about 250 aa, 7.5k mana, VoQ) and 70 rng(raid buffed).

The fight took 47 minutes and we just barely managed to kill the mob before respawn startet.

THO parsed as having about 950k HP and did an average DPS of 305 against me thoughout the fight with Slow from EC on.

Did unfortunatly not drop the belt though. But was a fun and challanging fight to duo. To be on the safe side i would recommend to bring an extra DPs class to the fight.

killed with Ranger/shammy~

I assume this guy summons since he is perma rooted?

Elly

took this out with cleric,dru,war and 3 mages.. took about 30mins.. and I being the warrior was quite fun tanking without slow.. go figure only the pally sword droped along with few spells..

Decided to kill him as we where heading to the mage epic kill behind him... mage epic kill lasted only about 30 secs hehe

Dropped brells mountainous barrior
and Mask of the stalker

not indicated on his loot table

and - hell - he also droped a pain sphere which is not on his loot table - common drop in zone

he also droped savagry, the orb, the glowing orb, the veil and the rogue piercer.

hehe wanted to try with 4 but ench and nec joined too for some dps
he really hits like a puss when slowed

downwed within 35mins he has like olmoast 800k hp mobs respawned just after we downed him

cleric shammy ranger pally rog ench
rog pulled the adds out we killed em i walked in (shammy) debuffed and slowed him then we just started wacking him some curs here and some heals there whas a looooooooong fight around 40mins had the adds repop 2 times i think but whas fun and yes we are elemental time geared
tank had 12k hp and cleric is only 2k under that

It was not an easy task at all, however, my guild on the Tribunal took him down today with 16 people , average lvl 63. NO ONE is elemental/time geared in my guild. I do not reccomend anyone really go in there with these kinds of numbers tho. The fight took a loong time. 25-30 minutes. Our DPS was JUST enough to make the percentage tick downwards. ALtho at times, it seemed it was not moving in the least.
I am a paladin with approx. 7300 HP raid buffed, and actually had no trouble tanking him (with a good CH rotation) and it was funny to see all the melee call out *Feeble!* each time he AoE'd feeblemind, so our casters could pop out from behind the rock and nuke. It was alot of fun, and probably one of the most exciting encounters i've had on EQ. (It is nice when you do not have to jump thru major hoops for a mob like this, ya jus gotta catch him up). This fight, and its length made me think of posts i have read about taking down Seru. As he is also quite a lengthy fight. And after what we went thru to kill this guy, i cannot wait to try out Seru , and have another harrowing 30-40 minute fight.

The ONLY downside to all of this was , my party members had trouble looting the no drop pieces , and before they could , the entire room of elder's repopped on us and wiped us. It was horrible, as we had no way to get back to the corpse in time to try and recover the loot. Again. He dropped the horn of chaos (which would have rotted anyway , no BL or monk with us) the viel of elements, the helm, 2 copies of Elneriks, Cloak of Akheva , and the orb. Sorry Venas and Gdaren, i know you won the rolls, and rightfully that loot should be yours. Im sure once the petitions are answered, a GM will hand that stuff right over to us (Hahahahahahaha)

We took him down yesterday. According to my parsed logfile he has 746k HP. Fight took 14 minutes. We were 31 raiders.

Did Thought Horror Overfiend 2 days ago on E'ci. This is what I saw during fight:

He is permarooted in the middle of the room.
His AE effects DO STACK, but you can still place casters behind the post to the right of him and they do not get hit.
His AE does not appear to be on a 30 second timer, both AE were firing more often than 30 sec.
His melee damage is not that great. Our make-shift healing force consisted of 5 clerics (3 of which below 52) and they had no problem keeping our tank alive.
He is slowable, but the elders in his room are not. The elders melee for 500s. During our fight we had 0 adds.
His resists arent that high, slow landed first shot and the wizard there had no problem with resists (both shaman and wizard 65).

The fight took about 10-15 min and we had only 20.

Hope this helps.
