Master Yael

Master Yael at level 42 on difficulty zero, solo, in Befallen and Lower Guk gear. Charm the channeler, let the wizard burn his mana, and hold a heal over time. Earthshaker and Brell's Girdle drop, plus the Void-touched Potential from the quest.

Everyone in the comments said do Yael at 40. This is 42, difficulty zero, solo, in Befallen gear with a little Lower Guk on top and no healing AAs at all. The fight is simple once you see it: charm the channeler so he cannot heal, let Yael burn his mana as a wizard, and keep a heal over time rolling. He dropped Earthshaker and Brell's Girdle.

Before You Zone In

Two minutes of prep.

  • Hail him first. He now gives a quest to kill him, and completing it awards a Void-touched Potential, which raises one item a whole rank.
  • Buff off a separate Druid loadout, everything including Form of the Great Wolf, then swap back to your fighting spell set.
  • Upgrade charm before the fight. Ten motes took it to rank 5 and the duration held for the whole encounter.
  • Memorize snare even if you do not expect to need it.
  • Bring a free inventory slot. The reward could not be looted without one, which cost a bag purchase mid-fight.

The Fight

Three mobs, one of them yours.

  • Yael has a fighter and a channeler with him. The channeler is the one that matters.
  • Charm the channeler. He is a cleric, so charming him removes the heals and gives you a pet at the same time.
  • Yael is a wizard. He burns his mana fast, and once it is gone he stops being dangerous.
  • Slow him with the Bard AoE song and let the Bard dots tick the whole fight.
  • Keep the Druid heal over time up and reapply charm on the timer. Twenty seconds left is the cue to recast.
  • Immolate is cheap filler once you stop needing to heal.

The one scare: a run of fizzles on the level 40 dot ate a huge chunk of mana. Playing it safe for a few seconds was enough to recover.

Cast Speed Matters Here

Inversion, throughout.

  • Healing Water at 0.25 seconds with Inversion, against 0.99 for Nature's Renewal.
  • That gap is the fight. A near instant heal is what makes holding through the damage possible.
  • Damage shield sat around 19, without the Bard damage shield, which would not fit the rotation.
  • No healing AAs at all, which is the honest reason this could not be attempted higher.

The Loot

Better than it first looks.

  • Earthshaker, which requires level 45 so it sits in the bag for now.
  • Compared to the executioner's axe it is 37 damage against 25, but 70 delay against 50. That is a 0.53 ratio against 0.50, which is why it is not an obvious upgrade even at 45.
  • Brell's Girdle, 10 AC and 50 mana with a Summoning Haste III focus, so whether it is an upgrade depends entirely on what it replaces.
  • Void-touched Potential from the quest turn in, being saved rather than spent.

What Is Next

And what is not ready.

  • Lord Nagafen and Lady Vox after a few more levels.
  • Not yet, though. They do around 400 AoE damage constantly, and without healing AAs there is no way to sustain that.
  • Healing AAs move up the list as a direct result.
  • The goal is 50 and three raid tokens, then Plane of Fear for a breastplate, with boots and gauntlets after.

Master Yael, Solo, at 42

  1. Hail him for the quest before you make the instance.
  2. Buff off a Druid loadout, then swap back.
  3. Upgrade charm to rank 5 with motes.
  4. Carry a free inventory slot for the reward.
  5. Charm the channeler, not the fighter. He is the healer.
  6. Let Yael empty his mana bar. He is a wizard and stops mattering after that.
  7. Slow with the Bard song, keep the dots rolling.
  8. Run Inversion for the near instant Healing Water.
  9. Recast charm at 20 seconds remaining.
  10. Skip Nagafen and Vox until you have healing AAs.

Hello and welcome to my legendary adventures in Norath. Today we are uh going to make [music] an attempt on the Yale Master Yale. Like I said, difficulty zero. We’re currently 42. I did not get my two-hander. [music] Uh our loot is pretty much befallen plus a little guck. And uh yeah, so nothing too fancy. We are at 119 uh aa about to beund uh we’re at a plus4 to that. So it is what it is. So let’s go ahead and create our instance and uh see if we can do this. What is this? Hold on. Uh oh. Okay. So gives us a quest. Oh, okay. Yeah. So now Okay, that makes sense. All right. So now when you hail this guy, you get a quest to kill him and uh give you the the quest reward for the the raid item, right? This [music] is the uh a blocks one whole rank. So you go from 9 to 10. [music] All right, let’s get our instance there. And now every time I did this in the in the uh private beta, I had zero difficulty killing this guy. Um it I I don’t know. But I had a lot of gear, but I got a lot of AAS right now and I got a lot of determination. So, we’re going to see how this this plays out. I like [sighs] I don’t know. I’m I’m not confident in my skills, but uh we’ll see here. So, before we go any further, let us uh load. Now, I set up some druid buffing uh [music] load out here, which is uh pretty much all the druid buffs and uh whatnot with uh form of the great wolf being at the end. There we go. All that’s refreshed. Then we can go back to our normal spells. Now, I think I might want to change one little thing. Just double check what I what I saved my set as. Yeah. Okay. No, never mind. No, that’s good. All right, we got everything good. So, we’re going to come in here. Uh we’re we want this guy right here. Get him. and we’ll kill this guy. Let’s see how this goes. Uh what are we working with here? We got Master Yale over there. We got a fighty and we got a Chandler. All right. Uh we’re going to charm one of the uh one of the lucky guys here. Let’s go ahead and click this. I’m going to grab some moes and upgrade my charm real quick. While we’re not turning on auto attack to fight that, let’s grab uh 10 of these. Just throw them in there. Let’s add up to tier five. Perfect. Longer uh longer charm duration. Now, I did memorize snare because uh I suck at this game, but uh we should be fine. All right. Uh we got some ro rusted xide there. We got our aa point. Uh we want this guy. Might as well kill him before we we have to. Perfect. All right, we got him. Let’s see. Can we put emilate on him, too? Perfect. Now, I did not I don’t have any bar charms memorized right now because I wasn’t 100% sure if I was going to be able to get those to fit into the uh the combo there. But, uh let’s store those. I think that’s those are trade skill items, but we should be fine. No, I’m I’m not I’m purposely not spamming my spam button right now because I put uh healing water in there. That’s our really fast heal. You can see there it’s at a uh let’s go over here real quick. Heal. It’s a 75 cast time whereas nature’s renewal. Oh, it’s Oh, inside of this one here. There we go. 0.25 with uh inversion. And this one is.99 with inversion. So, very nice there. Now, can I just like bring you over here without? Oh, that’s so perfect. And he’s a cleric, too. Oh, wait. That’s master. Yo. All right. Go to it, boys. All right. He’s He’s Now, the thing is with this guy, he’s uh he’s a is a wizard, so he’s going to blow all his mana real quick. Oh, so we just need to uh get and get get his mana taken care of. All right, so far so good. Let’s just throw that on there. This might be a long fight, right? Drifting death emulation. I’m going to go back into recovery though. [screaming] I get stunned. That fire. There we go. Now that’s the sword. He’s holding. We want. So Harris is hoping. There we go. He’s going to get a heal and we’re going to throw that on. All right, that’s looking pretty good. We’re, you know, taking obviously some damage here. There we go. We got 20 seconds on our charm. So, we’re going to want to make sure we redo that. Just keep him charmed. I should probably turn him a little bit. No, I’m rooted. Never mind. 7 seconds. Let’s go and precast that. There we go. And back on you. Perfect. We’re trying to do [music] the druid heal over time. And I’m just really going to try to make sure I maintain that with my dots. Oh my god, I fizzled it that many times. Oh my gosh, that is that is catastrophic to the run here. Uh that many fizzles in a row sucked up so much mana. So hopefully uh we’re just going to play it safe for a few seconds here. But you can see he’s out of mana. And uh what does that mean? That [laughter] means he’s not going to do damage in this spell here. So we just need to just keep that up and uh we’ll be fine probably. Uh let me see here. It does not look like Yeah, it did land. Never mind. That’s the That’s the slow different icon. Uh so we do we are slowing him with AoE bard song and uh we are doing some AOE damage here from the bard there. You can see the some of that damage in my timeline down here. But he’s at 44%. The charm has 22 seconds left. Looking fairly good right now. Um oh god I don’t even need to heal. I’m going to try for another dot. Fizzled. I don’t know why I’m fizzling. I’ve been casting I’ve been casting these these dots this whole entire uh playthrough uh to to kill stuff. I don’t know why this one here that I got at level 40 is fizzling more than once. All right, let’s rearm this guy before he starts healing. Mastery out, right? I think he did cuz I was paying attention. Let’s throw a heal on ourselves and kind of work through it. Now, I’m going to get a screenshot while I can here. Make sure that thing’s still charmed. There we go. Cuz I’ve realized I’m not taking enough screenshots for some of these videos. And Blossoming Hill is about to hit. There we go. One. And boom. Big heal. And then we throw another one on. All right, we’re going to do a five. Do another emilate. Perfect. And we have 48 seconds left on that charm. Oh, hello Kitty. Tell you what. All right, looking good. And we’re our current damage shield is uh I couldn’t tell you. It’s [laughter] not hitting me. It’s 19. It’s 19. I’m not doing the bar damage shield at the moment. I didn’t I didn’t see how I could fit that into my uh rotation there. 24 seconds. Jesus, this charm has lasted forever. All right. And uh looks like Master Yale is about to uh bite the dust here at 14%. Let’s uh let’s see here. We need another one of these. And boom. Perfect. And the channeler needs to be charmed before he heals this dude. There we go. And looking good. 9%. I’m going to go ahead and do another emilate just because it’s uh it’s cheap and we haven’t had to heal since he ran out of mana. So uh definitely, you know, very strong combo here that we got playing today. And uh what did we get? All right, so we got Earth Shaker, the two-hander uh which gives me this. But as you can see, I can’t use that yet because it requires 45. And uh Brell’s belt, which uh might be an upgrade [music] in some way for that. But let me get another screenshot right here of uh this [music] nice little body arrow. Let’s get our pet in the screenshot. There you go. All right. So, uh there you go. That’s Master Yale at level 42. I probably could have done it earlier, but uh you know, I’m lazy. Oh, and I don’t even have a large uh I don’t have a large thing. I can’t even loot this damn thing. Uh give me a second here. Wait, wait, wait. All right, we’re going to have to pay to win to be able to loot this. Uh what is this? A lightweight bag. 12%. All right, buy that now. Complete. Uh, I could have just moved an inventory item, right? But who is going to do that? Who’s going to move like a free slot, right? Let’s just do that. Put that in there. Boom. And there we go. Now, we can loot our uh earth shaker. Now, if we take a look at that compared to my executioner act, right, it’s 20 more delay, but it’s 37 damage. So, I’m not feeling I’m not feeling that is the value I want. Uh we’re going to, you know, need to upgrade this and stuff, but uh we do get the void touched potential, which uh now allows us to upgrade. We finished the quest, right? [music] Uh allows us to upgrade one item to one next tier. I’m going to save that for now, but uh yeah, so I just wanted to show uh Master Yale getting swacked. [music] Um I am going to level up a little bit more and then uh I think we’ll try on Nagafin and Vox. And I don’t think I have the healing power [music] right now to uh like I haven’t done any healing AAS, so I just don’t think I have the uh power for those yet because they they do like 400 AOE damage constantly [music] and I I just don’t have it. Uh but there you go. Master Yale dead. Uh, thank you very much for watching and please have a fantastic
