Vallon Zek
He's the easiest of the three Zeks.
Melee: ??
Level: ??
Spawn Info: Relatively fast respawn. 12 hours?
AE1: Vallon's Precision
AE2: Vallon's Subversion
Scripted Events: Five yellow-to-65 mobs spawn. All five are slowable. Only one is the "real" Vallon Zek, however. After you take the "real" Vallon Zek down to 80% health, five more mobs spawn and you must locate the real VZ and take him down to 80% health again. The trick is to make sure that those five spawn when you're ready for them. You must therefore pull and fight all five mobs away from the "trigger area" so that you won't get immediate aggro after the real VZ drops to 80% health.
Strategy: If we have our full raid force, we will use the 5 tank strategy. RL will pretarget each of the 5 Vallon Zeks in each spawn and assign them to tanks. When pulled, raid will assist the MA killing each Vallon zek while the other tanks offtank.
Loot:
Furious Hammer of Zek
Girdle of the Tactician
Glyphed Rune Word
Obsidian Scimitar of War
Pendant of the Triumphant Victor
Resplendent War Maul
Spectral Parchment
Tallon Zek
*Tallon Zek Shadow Steps during the fight
*4 normal spawns in the room (in the corners)
Melee: Weak ... how much, exactly? Slowable?
Mobility: Not rooted. Moves freely and shadowsteps regularly.
HP: 100k?
AE1: Tallon's Ballance
AE2: Barb of Tallon
AE3: Barb of Tallon
AE4: Barb of Tallon
AE5: Barb of Tallon
All AEs are directional. If TZ AEs while shadowstepping the AE goes from the direction she was coming from and to the location she is at.
Notes on pulling: Need to be careful pulling the four mobs stationed in the corner of the room because an ae hits as soon as you enter the doorway. As soon as you hit the top of your head in line of sight he pops you with an arrow for 2k and you get a DoT for free and whatever other nasty crap he can throw down before you get FD off. Some of the room spawns gflux.
Notes on the fight: GET DMF! His AE Gflux will kill DPS and cause lots more damage than you need to take as a raid. Get DMF! Because he shadowsteps it will be difficult to keep all melee on him the entire time. We should try to test bard gate on him. If a bard can gate him to bind consistently, we can keep him in one spot with no difficulty. With a bard singing dispell and the correct use of insta-clicks and buff stacking, it should be possible to keep all dots off of all party members at all times. This requires melee to be extremely on the ball about buff management.
1 to 2 Grp Tactic for Vallon
warrior/paladin with 8khp, shaman/chanter, bard, fill in dps here, fill in dps here, fill in dps here
*note: this event despawns if you leave the vallons sitting there too long (i'll say 15 minutes, it hasn't happened to me for over a year), or don't kill the real one within a timeframe
lets assume your in the only safe corner in VZ's room by now. let your bard pull vallon zek, standard mob killing procedure, slow dps heal etc., think he hits around 800 if i remember correctly, then VZ should depop around 60-70%, cant remember, and split into 5 in the middle of the room. Have your bard go out and kite all the vallons in a big circle, trying not to agro the ogres. (careful, dont stop they run damn fast and will own you if your not careful or lagging, and no selos indoors.) If the bard dies have someone pull the bards corpse to the stairs nearest the group, and when rezzed, leave 1 item on the corpse, and have the cleric cast 0% rez on the corpse on each kite the bard does, so if he gets in trouble (and cant DA!)he can take the rez and wipe agro, and use it to split since he will be out of mana after dying) Have someone designated in your group to target the real vallon zek and keep his target. (REAL VZ RUNS FASTER THAN THE OTHERS AND CASTS, YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL WHICH ONE IS REAL)
once someone has the real one targetted, have your bard FM the mobs (not on your group!) and assist the person targetting the real one, (the group assist main tank leader AA really helps to distinguish between the 5, if you have it its a +) and start kiting them again, cast harmony of the sound on the real one, and single target snare song on him after that, once hes snared, get *enough* distance, i cant tell you how much really, between the real one and the 4 fakes, FM(or take rezbox) and try to grab him solo from the rest of the pack, (use your bard to pull) if he agroes the others just FM (or take rezbox, you may need to die if its about time for the old corpse to graveyard if you died earlier.) Have someone pull your new corpse if you died to the old rez-box spot. Once the real Vallon Zek is solo pulled into your camp, just kill him he is no harder than a kriger in BoT. After the real one from the pack of 5 is dead, 5 more will spawn in the middle of the room. Have your cleric rez-box your bard, have your bard DA into the old 4 VZs and pull them into the corner on the other side of the stairs opposite your group (Very first Vallon's left.) and take rezbox. If they are with the new 5 vallons, its ok youll just be kiting 9 instead of 4, be much more cautious. Split him in the same way and when you get him solo, make sure you either have the other 4 away from the middle, or have your bard dump them into the corner before the Vallon you are killing is dead. Do the Split/Kill/Dump process about 5 times i *think* and you'll have beaten the event, the last "real" vallon has loot on it.
hope i helped someone, if I messed up somewhere on this strat, either reply or i'll try to fix it if i notice it sometime 
Saw this last night:
Set up in North East Corner of Vallons room (Corner with no mob), you must make sure everyone stays tight in the corner and don't wander. Pull Vallon, beat down till 50% or so he depops and 5 clones pop in the middle. Have a shaman or any pet class I assume use a low lvl pet and pull one of the Vallons single. Beat down till dead for Clones or 50% for a real Vallon he will depop and 5 more will pop, just keep pulling singles till you kill your 5 real vallons and bing you win. Last real Vallon has the loot and when he dies the PP will pop. Can do this with 1 to 2 grps with a good 8k or so tank and good dps. Much easier than the strat I placed above.
