Fun high end raid, completed on Elite by Drow, Second over all on the server for elite completion, but we did it in 30 minutes which is the fastest on the server, second world wide. This is the most resource intensive end game fight in the game atm. To this day we remain the only guild to have beaten it on the Ghallanda server and we have compleated it on elite none the less!
(In ddo, there is three settings for every quest. There is Normal, which is the level of the quest, Hard, which is one level higher than the base, and Elite, which is two levels higher than the base. Just because its two levels higher, its much harder.
In the raid, you enter into a battle arena. When the raid starts, there is four red named (Boss) Orthons, that you fight. They do massive aoe damage attacks against the group, so by having one high ac/hp tank holding there aggro while the other fighters peal off and kill one by one, makes it much easier. After they are killed, you fight the Horned Devil raid boss, after you have inflicted about 25% damage on him, he calls for more of his body guards.
These are Bearded Devils, however they are not bosses, just very hard core mobs. Throught the fight, he will spawn multiple mobs, consisting of bearded devils, fiendish bats and the like. When the bats come, they do hundreds of damage per hit, so on average, they kill a mage in 2-3 hits! Near the end of the fight, you fight 4 red names bosses again, which your normally out of mana and low on resources by this point.
Just a few things about the raid, wont spoil it for those who haven't had a chance to try it yet! We have also, like I said earlier, Completed many Abbot victory, on elite, completed the other new raid, Hound of Xoriat, on elite as well. I would like to thank the team for the hard work, and dedication to have come this far!
