Staff of GoD

[Billabong]

I've been reading on vos that this encounter will take a lot of peeps to do!
Actually more than i can get from alliance or friends in game.
So have any done this enc before and have a nice strategy?
Thought it might be possible to do with a ml10 sojourner to port us away from there but have no idea if that would work.

Can use all info since its badly needed for my perfect darkness template

they stopped you from teleporting with the staff of gods a few patches back.

All you need is a shield tankeh + a few pbaoers basically swim backwards with guard on whoever is holding the staff while the pbaoers continually kill the sharks they are only yellow con so shouldnt take that much for a pbaoer to kill them.

Think its possible to do with SoS, never tried that though

 

[Olvoair]

SoS works

need a few peeps healing the poor skald tho.

 

[Mazzaca]

I've tried it once, you get some badass Ichor of something DoT on you, but yeah I reckon it may work with SoS.

i ported it saturday from shark pit - u sure they nerfed it??

one for sale on house if u want it...

I suppose it's possible to time it so you can get out with the staff, maybe get lucky with lag etc.

 

[cemi0]

No its not possible to time it.
If you pick the port and pick the artifact you get the message: "Something has prevented you from moving from this area" or something like that.
But Tak, I would like to see you do it once while your in BG with my Shaman

As Takh said, it IS possible, my BD and SM can testify to that.

Havnt tried it with SOS yet, as you will need to use it twice, once to grab the staff, and once to try and get across the lemon island while 12 300hp hitting archers turn you into a pin cushion, whereas a hunter has only to stealth into the middle. Not something my skald fancies doing tbh.

get urself a warrior/thane block bot

Tell me how the porting thing works, I got a ML10 skald and I'd want to try it.
Just sit next to the staff, cast Gateway, then grab it shortly before you port or what?
If so, anyone knows the cast time on it? I'll sit next to it with a clock

 

[Gear]

Yes. Time your casting time before you head there (i remember going buffless and casting gateway in 16 secs, so i just had to pick up the staff in 15 secs).

However I don't know if it works now.

think its possible with sos, ip3 skald + either a di healer or vr sham

 

[old.Whoodoo]

AFAIK you want to time it at 16 seconds exactly, the spell takes 17 to cast. You also have to bind somewhere special, not sure exactly where tho.

 

[Summoner]

You can not port anymore with such an item. So that means SoM, SoTG and a Flask can no longer be done with 1-2 people.

I've tried it with 1 skald with sos 3 + ip 3 and 1 shaman and 2-3 healers. But failed on all 10+ attempts because of the lag just when I surface, so I die above water or at the surface all the time

Seems no one is reading this, or just half the thread anyway...

 

[Rezy]

ok wanna say one thing.. you can still port it even tho they tried to fix it so u cant when u pick it up before u actully port.
it is bug abuse but can still be done.. i know from my own experience..
but without bug abusing you can easy do the enc. aswell on the right way.
i did it with 1 sorc , 1 warrior , 2 shammies on camlann server.

rr8 sorc
rr8 warrior
rr5 sham
rr4 sham

warrior used SoM lvl10 + rr5 ability Testudo and went his way up along the hill to get up to sureface.
sorc mezzed mostly but somehow it breaks from em again but still holds em abit back.
shammies heals and uses VR + rr5 ability
they have speed to get up fast to heal warrior further otw up.
done this many times with this setup so i know it works.

on mid/exc you probably just need skald would be a + with SoS and maybe a pac healers aswell..
you dont need that many players for it tbh


btw. i prefer to have SoG in my 2h slot instead of using scepter as many others. lvl5 aoe snare on SoG saved me LOTS of times on camlann and it is 30sec snare and only purge can break it. no combat can break the snare, so its v nice. lvl10 for stealth lore just a + can always be handy

 

[Olvoair]

the skald had SoS 1 when we did it.
1 shammy healing at start
1 healer almost at top

took 3 attempts before it all worked out

skald was high rr (7 or 8) with good equipment & some IP.

SoS 1 was prolly a bit low
