Praklion of the Cauldron  

Seems to appear at 11 PM.

Elidiane 82 ranger
The Rathe

Not slowable or snare/rootable

I was a 68 Berserker wife had a 75 chanter on Phinigel. We were able to take him down but it was not easy...

He spawns at -355, -1438, -254. Basically east of the island.
He runs at 70 percent health. He ends up NE of island.
He runs at 30 percent health. He ends up NW of island.

He will poof if you kill him while running. When he runs, let him. Attack again when he stops running. Best to let him do his two runs and then kill him. Hopefully this will stop his corpse from poofing after 30 seconds.

He can mezmerize
He can stun
He has a 1500 hp damage proc.

The loc of the mob is: -526,26 -1401,38

I started my epic and will becoming here so I thought I'd summarize all the good stuff.

Spawns at 11pm game time and stays up all evening and morning till 1pm in the afternoon. Times can change it seems.

Get at least 1 point in Alcohol resistance.

He spawns SE of island
He runs at 70 percent health. He ends up NE of island.
He runs at 30 percent health. He ends up NW of island.

Ok, I killed him. All worked fine.

He Has spawned at 11pm and despawned at 1pm.. Seems there is a 10 hour eq time where he goes into hiding and then comes back out at 11pm game time and repeates cycle. Hope it helps. And might clear up some confusion of body diappearing upon death. So be that the strategy aspect was done correctly. You must kill and let it run at 70% and once again at 30% and then can finish off for a 30 min decay timer on Praklion.

70 druid, 63 cleric, 67 pally, 70 ranger. had no issues other then i (the druid) was tanking the entire time. the mez does suck ***, but he would attack me, break my mez, id start healing, then by time clerics mez wore off i would be re mezzed then she could heal.

overall good fight, he regenned to at least 50% each time he ran, was not fun

Howdy,
Boxing 70 Shaman 4khp, 70 Ranger 6khp base (gimps inherit the world!), I had mixed results. It took me four tries over the course of a day to get it done.

Attempt 1:

Ranger tank, shaman heal. Ranger got stunned, shaman got ganked and got sloshed. Shaman couldnt heal, ranger died, shaman died.

K, so I hadn't read up on the drunk proc, so I spent the next hour getting both toons to 150 in AT, hoping that would be enough.

Attempt 2:

Same as first, this time with AT 150. Same ending.

K, so I cried under my pillow for another six hours.

Attempt 3:

Pretend my shaman is a beastlord and pet tank it. Now this would have worked if my 67 pet would hit for more than 10 per attack. I dont know what the deal is there, but it seems to be a mitigation on pets, dunno if beastlords experience that at all. Well finally I got stunned at the wrong time, pet flopped, and so did I. I didn't get drunk that time though.

K, so at this point I started pulling out my hair. I was going to do this OR ELSE!

Attempt 4:

Change from 67 pet to 61 pet for arguably better tankage and add in ranger ranged dps. This is where the fun begins. Somehow i had shammy too close and got drunk over time. Ranger was far enough back and pet didnt go down, so we made it past the 70% retreat. Wheh. Ok, so then i decided i needed to regain mana, so let the thing regen to full hp and engage at point 2. Sent in pet and burned TS with ranger. Shaman was pretty sloshed, but miraculously got a few heals off on pet and made it to the 30% retreat, which was actually around 25% for me because i was still autofiring with the ranger. Shaman then got summoned as pet drew aggro at point 3. Dunno what was up with that. Soooooo... with Praklion at 25% ranger engages melee style, draws aggro, and Weapon Shields. Praklion is at 15% when WS wears off, and cruise control in ftw.

All in all I learned a few things, first you'll wonder where the already small shaman pet dps went, second pet tanking really is the way to go. A mage would own this, as does a beastlord (so i've read). It really is fun to work the strategy...

Now to somehow do the Imp with my gimp trio...

helping guildie with zerker epic and this mob made alot of people in raid drunk imideiatly

Solo'd this mob with my 68 BST, was a fun fight. Thank god for those new healing pots ^_^. Yay for my zerker! Dont forget to stop attacking as he swims thru the waters. at 70% and 30% pets can stay on him, it doesnt effect it.

Ya I must agree on your method of pet chasing for re-aggro. I took a group of 6 of us 3 days ago, lvl 64 clr., lvl 63druid(me), lvl 70 war., 60 druid, 62 chanter, 61 Ranger. We had the man power to take it down but messed up. We had it down to 27% but cleric and I bot go summoned and wiped. After that, not enough healing was there. We went back today with the same force, but we added a mage and a bst to the mix. Made it a piece of cake. Send in Ranger to track and pull, get to land and let tanks get it under 90% then nuke away. When it ran, we sent in the mage's pet and worked like a charm. Called pet back and Prakilon came with him. The only problem we ran into was the second run. He ran too far for the pet to be in range for commands. You can either run your group around the land towards him to be in range for pet commands or we just sent the Warrior in after him and repulled, blasted away....and got the epic item.
