Juvat Hosts Varans Nightmare OSHA!!!! Sat June 19

Beginner

Thursday, June 3rd 2010, 10:03pm

Ok osha Juvat is staying true to its name and hosting an attempt on Varanas Nightmare instance. Fortune favors the bold and we will definitely need favoring during the attempt on this 120man instance. We will need 80 very geared or 120 decently geared people to make this attempt possible. The instance is not extremely difficult but requires massive teamwork and coordination. We would love to have ANYONE from ANY guild join us for this attempt regardless of your name, reputation or history so long as you make an effort to help during the raid and are willing to follow directions =D. Please post below and speak with Tankarella or Nehrya in game for more information the raids will begin forming at 12:00pm central time that Saturday June 19th. Each of our 3 raids will be assigned to a specific raid boss so all three raids will get loot or should no idea if this place works lol. Finally PLEASE TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW we want to have a great time and be successful but we need a lot of people to do so TY! have a great day hope to hear from you in game soon!!!!

Quick run down of the instance is: We enter and disperse through the instance with between 4-6 people at each of the 20 fear crevice portals in the instance. All together we kill 3mobs and the Fear portals which causes them to be disrupted if all 20 are disrupted at the same time the DemonLord himself spawns. At this point he takes control of 3 GIANT world boss mobs of which each raid takes 1 thus 3 raids 3 bosses. The DemonLord himself isn't ever fought but still very cool and would be EPIC to complete also i don't think anyone has ever completed it let alone made a real attempt so lets be the first OSHA!

Requirements for Varanas Nightmare

Osha you need to be Hoto ready for this raid that's it meaning you can complete a Medusa run with a group and hold your own weight! if you think your borderline show up anyway!

Totally wicked idea, Juvat! I wish you luck with it. Unfortunately, I'll be out in the Real World this weekend and unable to participate. I look forward to hearing about your success!

just curious, where u got this bit of info from?, the strat isnt hard at all, its a battle with lag more than anything, but this part of the instance is new to me.

It's bugged... we've tried. Even if you keep the portals clsoed the boss mobs spawn indefinitely from them, it was impossible to keep all of them closed with the constant stream of mobs.

Good luck though.

When did you try? Because I've gone in recently (week or so ago) and killed the beginning mobs randomly for a quest and the portal will stay closed as long as you keep it from returning to a yellow state. Meaning: you have to constantly be attacking since it recovers 5% hp every 10 seconds. I sat there for a good 3-4 minutes to test it and nothing spawned. Gonna feel bad for mana based DPS cuz you will be chugging lots of pots

it might just be bugged on govinda than, it wasnt like this in ch1-2, the portals stayed closed than, now its like spilii said, it doesnt matter if u leave dps on them, they will pop regardless.

Kaito, thorinwittaker and I just duo'd the first three portals to check. Even if we kept the portals closed the mobs kept spawning. Must be bugged just on govinda. Good luck guys! Tell us how it goes!

its WAY easier to begin the boss phase than it used to be. but dear god is the nightmare androlier fight INSANE. in a good way really...its far and away the most complex and intricate boss fight in rom's history. try and scout burn him and you will quickly have a dead raid. :p

i'm looking forward to another try at it, as are the rest of the guild. we figured out some tricks for the first phase of the androlier fight but it truly gets to be an epic battle. we threw in the towel after a few hours of trying him...but this weekend i sense a rematch. (since angel sigh's are on sale atm.)

That sounds incredibly fun. What are the HP req and GH / Urgent Reqs for priests?

And finally.... everyone help me convince the GMs to get my toon's gear back (HEA-995-23968 - 20 days old, 1 response, no resolution) and regain 2 levels back to 62p/60m where I was (DNZ-652-93143 - 6 days old, no action or responses) so I have a reason to play again.

hmm idk the specifics..guess "a ton" doesnt help much? :p i think buffing up over 90k hp is a good baseline minimum. so you can survive maybe 2 aoe's in case a group heal doesnt come in time.

during the initial phases of androlier tank was getting hit for 50k plus the 45k aoe hit from him every ~15sec maybe? dont remember exactly how long it was in between those aoe hits.

thats the LOW damage part of the fight. the people feared also take quite a bit of damage as a per second hit. one healer has to stay focused on tank..1 in each party ghealing but i think the guild that cleared it may have had 2 healers per party. some of the hits are % hp based...so a tank getting a 100k hit may occur.

we havent gotten into the later stages of the fight but from what ive read the high damage phase is...a LOT of damage. to everyone...

our biggest success was last night..getting the dang fear cleanse skill to work and getting pretty good at cleansing ppl. it's not easy at all.

still ive had a blast in nightmare..the last fight is truly epic. and not have 20 crevices to hold down has made it a lot more accessible.
