Kyv Heartpiercer  

Confirmed spell drop today... Eagle eye, 58 level Ranger spell

64 mage, 70 wizard, 70 cleric, and 70 druid out playing around farming some spell research components. This guy has popped for us three times, much to our surprise. He dropped a Gnarled Mesh Bracer, Muramite Etched Scales, Reinforced Sandstone-Hilt Sword, and Sash of the Dark Skies. Interesting!

I took Kyv down twice tonight with a level 63 pally (self-buffed) and a level 61 mage. Unlike most of the summoning mobs in Natimbi that will summon 1-3 times per battle, Kyv will summon with much greater frequency. An air pet seems to work best with him due to the ability to stun. The pally stuns really help turn the tide of battle, for he hits quite hard but he really doesn't seem to have a ton of hit points. I would estimate that he has just slightly more than a regular noc.

Kiting him really isn't a good idea, for like the nocs he runs extremely fast, summons and has a ranged weapon. Fear kiting might work but he has a high magic resist and runs like a gazelle. I was surprised how a long a buffed pet was able to last (even with his hard nukes). My preferred tactic in taking him out:
1) Initial pull with damage absorbing shield on
2) Have pet establish agro. Melee chars fall back!
3) Debuff and cast malosi line of spells
4) Start casting DoT, AE wave spells
5) Stun the tar out of him while pet slowly dies. Cast heavy nukes as quickly as possible.
6) Root so pally takes agro and chain cast new pet. Use self heals or healing potions as pet resumes agro
7) Nuke until he is extra crispy

Also dropped a Tome of Bloodseekers Axe for me today (26feb, 2005). Easily boxed with a 65war and a 65dru. He's a runner too, so make sure you have snare if you lack the DPS and expect to fight him a few minutes.

This guy does summon, was in a group killing nocs and he poped right on top of us, we managed to get him down to about 20% when he started shooting arrows at us and killed pretty much the entire group instantly, still not sure how he did it

Since we weren't having enough fun as it was, Kyv has been changed to summon. More joy for all the little boys and girls.

The whole time i was reading this page i saw nothing about a beastlord being able to solo or not... ill find out and get back to ya.
if anyone can save me the trouble feel free to post it... i dont know when i can get around to it

Killed this guy easily with a group of 4 low 60s. 61 ranger pulled (poof went 20%+ of his health) and kited while I (another ranger) followed (wielding Swiftwind and a Stained Axe of the Scions (so nothing uber). The other two (pure casters) threw their ******* on him. He never changed his target and went down pretty fast.

He was pulled to the bottom of the hill from the tower across from zone in point and kited in lazy circles at its base. Was fun, if a bit quick.

He dropped the Sash as listed but also the Muramite Etched Scales, not listed and the main point of this post. First time I was involved with taking him, wont be the last.

Ok all i can say is this guy hurts. He may have been taken down a bit from when GoD came out but when i fought him it hurt. I was in natimbi with this level 65 ranger.(I was a 53 shaman at the time). We were just fighting the crag dudes and doing great but then he says o im gonna pull this archer guy. Hes kinda hard just try to root him. Once hes rooted i can take him. So i was sitting down and he didnt call the friggin pull so bam im down to 50% from a quaded arrow. He says root it root it so i did. I run away but guess what. HES AN ARCHER!!!. So i died and by the time i got back some other guy said that, that my ranger friend died and it took 2 other 65 rangers to take him out.

Owned this guy today.. was dot kiting him around the shore near the camp. wasnt that hard. snared and dot'ed him to death. got slowed and stuff but i outran him with aa horse.

SK's owns ;)

Also had him drop a Talisman of the Spiritseer

I killed this guy for the second time on my ranger the 17th of February and he dropped something called a sack of bloody eyeballs or something similar to that. I was just wondering if anyone knew what it was for. If I remember correcly it is droppable. Might just be vendor fodder but I thought it was funny sounding 8)
