from the screen shot yes it looks like wind tower, i personally ran raids there everyday for 3 weeks till i won my greatstaff of the 4 winds ive never seen this guy or heard of him till i looked to see what dropped the braclet pattern
Windriders Trinket LORE ITEM MAGIC ITEM 11 AC 35 hp/mana 10 to all saves CLR DRU SHM ----- An alright upgrade to blue diamond bracers, but somewhat depressing that this guy is at the end of the 2nd floor in the tower. It didn't seem to have any more hitpoints than a normal militis giant.
Would like to know where this guy spawns mainly but any other extra info would be awesome. If anyone who has taken this guy can post here about the fight where he spawns and what he drops,if anything, it would be much appreciated.
Killed him recently - My first cast of Turgur's Insects (magic based slow, 75%) landed after Malosinia, but was partially resisted (mitigated).
He was dark blue to me at 65 (which means almost nothing after the exp-patch recently), and dropped nothing but two fungus clumps. Standard BoT-mob faction hits (Greater, Lesser Vind Giants got worse, Askr the Lost gets better).
On dying: Erech Eyford's corpse 's shell cracks as it attempts in vain to fly away. (bad spacing etc taken verbatim from in-game message).
------- All in all, a neat change from the standard chop-'em-up giants on the way to the lord, but nothing special.
He sometimes spawns right at the last porter before reaching Auliffe in the Southeast tower. There's 3 guards at that portal, if he's up he'll be in the middle. Killed him a few times now, hasn't ever dropped anything.
