Melee Camp Hard Mode Zemouregal & Vorkath

Introduction

This guide will go over how to quickly kill Zemouregal & Vorkath with melee only. This is a strong option that can achieve 30+ KPH without hybridding, and can comfortably achieve the Grandmaster timer while style camping. This rotation achieves timers of 1:33-1:40.

⬥ Preset Notes:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Apply powderofprotection at bank for amhej

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Dragons slayer task for vorkath (undead task will deplete from killing minions)

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• genocidal is optional, the rotation will work without it

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Utilize darkness for reduced damage from vorkath and minions. hellhoundpouch is a viable alternative familiar if struggling.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• dragonscimitar or annihilation eof can be taken

Notes:

⬥ Loading into Fort Forinthry is very intensive. Reducing draw distance and turning off textures can reduce load times.

anti is required since this rotation does not skip Zemouregal's soulstrike

⬥ Hit chance on Zemouregal is very tight under dba. If brewed down at all or without maximum accuracy, dragonscimitar is necessary to maintain 100% hitchance.

⬥ It is extremely important to control damage to not overphase Vorkath below 765k into flight phase while there is significant >13 sec meteorstrike cooldown remaining. If this happens, the chance of a successful kill is low.

⬥ Activate ballista 2-3 ticks into the first assault. Do not activate a 2nd ballista until after Vorkath departs for flight.
