@Thark posted in the Halloween thread suggesting getting a group together tonight and I figured I would make a thread for visibility.
Thank suggested around 2000 server time which is around peak hour.
In order to stand in the group and survive you need a bit of cold protection. Viceroy and Ghost works decent on their own but with some cold plates on top they deflect all of it.
Group size is very important as the main attack seems to one shot a lot of us. This means that there needs to be quite a few of us to confuse its aggro so people who died can make it back from revive. I have no number for this but think we were about 25 when it worked smooth?
Cost to kill is about 3000 ped which is slightly above SK (or SK with small group). Gathering 5k+ DPS would be nice but any DPS is helpful as it makes it easier for the group to survive and any DPS is enough for a chance in the item lottery.
Even though it is tempting to back away, please stay close. That way the melee users can do damage too and any healers will have a bigger chance saving you. Those two shots extra you get on it standing 80m away before it kills you is not gonna make a dent in your loot window.
Anyone asked @Socrates|Mindark if the regen is intended?
If group gets big enough the regen doesn’t matter much. I didn’t pay attention to it much but noticed how much ped I pumped into it despite using a rather weak weapon.
