Riot if snakes can't kick in Pantheon....
I'll never forget the day, many years ago, I was introducing my cousin to Everquest. He killed a snake in Feerrot, I believe, and it dropped a pair of cloth boots. He was baffled, and I had some explaining to do.

2. Cleric/bards/druids scramble to get any resist cure to the hotbar before tank dies.
3. Tank positions mob to maximixe any aoe's on group and ignores calls to turn mob away.
4. DPS counts to 2 and unloads on mob with highest damage spells they have.

A SMART wizard allows the tank the time to gain agro and keep the attention of the boss mob on him/herself. After that its nuke til you run out of mana. :)

A smart wizard would, but after playing EQ for the last year, there are more impatient ones then smart, to be nice.
Really??
The answer is so simple it makes me cry that nobody can figure it out.
First you need to solo him.
Run out the door.
kill the nearest ogre you can find.
Drag him back.
Cast inv on yourself.
Drag in dead ogre.
He eats ogre and dies a horribly painfull death.
Loot and repeat.

Boas constrict to kill then swallow dead prey whole. I was just saving him the energy used to kill the ogre

Tbh, I didn't read your strategy till just now. I was addressing the thread as a whole. But I like your technique :P
It would be incredibly amazing if the boss was a constrictor that wrapped itself around a party member (tank or healer) and you had to blow cooldowns/DPS race it to save the member, while his life slowly drains in an unhealable state. Either for the last 5-10% of the bosses life or intermittently throughout the fight, releasing when enough damage has been done.

Humm that's surprising for EQ...that's where I learned my wizardly ways. Of course I haven't seen the gaming generation that came behind me in EQ. :)

To be fair it was on the TLP server where most people's goal seemed to be level as fast as humanly possible. As long as no one died, all bets were off as far as whom had agro. On the named people tended to behave a bit more though.
Rachael said:I would bring a bunch of mice and a bard friend over to Molnea to charm him with their awesome bardic melodies, and then I'd tame it by feeding it lots of mice and talking to it. Then I'd have a cool giant snake pet!
Thats what my gf would want to. She would want it as a pet.
