Sontalak

Level 70 · Velious Dragons · Warrior · Western Wastes

This old powerful dragon guards the entrance to the Temple of Veeshan. Sontalak is one of the few remaining first brood - the dragons first deposited upon Norrath by Veeshan herself. "We gathered great force in arms, over one hundred of the bravest souls who had survived the Ruins of Kunark, to challenge this Ancient One. Deceived as he was by my alliance with the Claws of Veeshan, I landed the first blow, square on his nose; it was of no consequence. The first word of magic he spoke stripped me utterly of my magical wards and with a single glance, he turned half our army insane with Fear. Overwhelmed as I was by his terrifying spells, I watched helplessly as my comrades were struck down, one by one. By the time I regained control over my limbs, there were only a handful of us left. Those priests who survived turn tail and fled. Injured, half-crazed, it was only by the merit of my stamina that I managed to escape his wrath and flee into the Temple of Veeshan." - The Journal of Filbus Furyfoot, Lord of the Misty Thicket === Strategy === Note: This is incomplete, but here are some tips. Get the -entire- raid full HP buffs/Rune5. Get Aegolism, Focus of Spirit and Divine Strength at the very bottom of your stack. Buff Fire and Magic resist. Sontalak has a 4 slot AE dispel targeted AE on the tank, Beholder Dispel, and a single slot PBAOE dispel, Molten Breath. Procs Char on the main tank. Casts Dragon Roar and Molten Breath on the raid. He is slowable, but dispells it off himself, so don't even bother. Flurries, with a max melee hit of 425. Biggest problem is him bouncing around due to low HP aggro. When this happens, he strips the raid of all buffs, causing more low HP aggro and eventual wipe. Healing the DPS groups is tricky. Assuming the group cleric never gets feared (unlikely), chain casting Heroic Bond just barely keeps up with the Molten Breath. A well timed Word of Redemption or Word of Restoration followed by DA/DB is a viable option. Appears to b
