I want to start hitting these area boss's with my alliance however, we have never done such, and I dont like walking in blind. I was wondering if anyone knew of any guides or could give some brief descriptions of what to expect from each. I searched google and these forums but didnt find anything helpful. Im looking for how many people you should have minimum, what level ranges to not kill drops, any surprises they have, and any recomendations you all may have for taking them down etc. Thanks in advance!
So far I know, thers no drop penelty by level on thoes bosses.
Secondly for strategy, your bigest problem will be to find them alive and you probobly goimg to need ot fight otheralianses so fast they spawn at the spot so your able to get em. Thats your bigest worry.
I haven't gone near them since C2, but back then it was like this;
Ant Queen; Surrounded by low level guards and healers - they'll still kick your ***. Regen was incredibly fast on all of them. There was a room beyond the queen which housed an ant larva - when you attack this the healers will leave the queen and go to heal the larva.
The point being that you need a team to beat on the larva while surviving, a team butchering the guards as they spawn, and another team killing the queen herself.
Orfen: You fight her wherever you can find her in SoS, when she's at about 1/2 HP she'll teleport back to her nest at the north of SoS. You need to make it up there quickly before she regens too much. WHen you get there there'll be alot of minions that need to be taken care of, they respawn fast though.
Orfen is weak to fire damage, so sorcs are the key.
Core: Never tried him. You'll need a 55+ dagger to open the entrance door to him. I hear that when you fight him he spawns alot of minions quickly. There seems to be terrain damage around the actual core.
if you open the door and let it close and don't atk the mobs, after about 3-5 minutes most of the mobs will TP out. if you keep atkign themmore mobs will atk you and spawn.
once they are gone your free to atk the core, only a few minions are lefts and they aren't too hard to kill.
So far I know, thers no drop penelty by level on thoes bosses.
Afaik, Ant Queen atleast is affected by the lvls so you need lvl 40-44 guys to take it down. It drops zero, nada, nilch when you go and kill it with a bunch of 70+ players.
Tactic is quite simple bring a main hitting group and some 60+ characters to wipe out guards.
thats the tactic for all of them
70+ nukers to kill minions and low lvls to kill the boss
ant queen is harder because you need to draw the nurses away from the queen
