I know this sounds dumb but i fell from the druid/wiz port above him and once i hit the ground he agroed on me, he casted his effect and for some reason it made me feign death and i am a shaman pretty weird huh
My guild killed this guy with 30 people and only 2 clerics. EP guild so plenty of people had serveral pieces of EP gear at least but we also had several new recruits with us that had none.
Pretty easy fight but quite long. Can be done with less as long as you can make sure your clerics have the mana for a long fight your dps will decrease with fewer raiders.
We pulled to a corner just west of his spawn and had no adds or anything. The corner to the east looked safe as well.
Also, didn't really notice the memblur. He'd shadowstep the MT then run after him. No problems with aggro at all. This guy didn't appear to summon since he was always running to the mt.
My guild had been killing in WoS for a few hours now, 13 people ranging between 59 and 67. We saw this red con, assumed it was only a few levels above us like the other named and pulled it. According to the tank, was hitting in 2000+ range. The AE does seem to have a mem blur component and levitate does negate falling damage. I succored by group, but some bug left me behind. I was expecting to get killed in a few seconds so I started running, looked back, didn't see the mob chasing, and recast Succor. 7 out of 13 people died in a few seconds, though.
I have had this happen before too, but with Egress. You have a change to be left behind when you Egress, but if you are, it still clears hate lists, and that suits me just fine...

Posted:Nov 07 2004 at 12:29 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This is crap the the Dragorn Elder Scepter drops from this Guy I mean i am able to get all other Tier 1 armour except Legs and Breastplate Because the Mobs are to hard for my guild. Makes no sense that i should be in a uber guild to get this Bp because if i was i would have better gear then this. My guild has about 30 folks with main tank about 10k and and SA 9.5k. And we cant handle him. Also I have yet to see a Pickup raid in Wos. Makes no sense to have this mob drop this. Should be on a lesser mob that maybe that is his only drop.
BP's are the main focus on equipment, if you look at the ornate, they drop from higher level nameds, the elemental ornates drop out of time. so to follow pattern you gotta be a little better for these too :P
You miss the point of his complaint. The ornate BP molds are doable by a guild who's main tank will consider it an upgrade. A guild that can kill this mob will most likely have a main tank who's already wearing better. That's what he's complaining about, not the fact that it's simply tougher than the 1 groupable pieces.
Course, whether his guild can kill this or not is a matter of opinion. His guild losing sounds more like a strategy error than a lack of brawn problem. After all, if minimally buffed at 9khps 1600AC with a "single group" can take the 2k hitting AE fearing Drarakon the Mad in Noble's Causeway, like my group did last night... I don't see why a guild of 30 people can't take a 2k+ hitting AEing mob with more HPs.
Thats our favorite mob for farming glowing atm. Either his drop rate of Tunic's very nice too. Already got 3 glowings and 4 Tunic's from him. 2 Weapon's dropped too. Greater runes are close to rot for us ... might be selling to some 1 in zone for some guild cash :p)
We killed last night and yes lev made a difference for the damage of falling, but still took the 800 damage. Dropped 2 greater runes and muramite chainmail.
Wouldn't say it's a Shadowstep. It's more a Gflux. And 800 damage seem to be right, unresistable. Think it's also a mem-whipe of agro. Or he do that efter the AE.
I would say definitely yes. We killed with 23 EP geared people. We had 3 clerics, 2 druids and me (shammy). Was about a 5-7 minute fight with 2 deaths I think. Dropped the scepter and 2 greater runes. Fun fight imo.
something i noticed while fighting in wos, once this guy spawns none of the mini named spawn any longer.
*edit - ive been back since and he was still up and the other nameds were spawning again, not sure why they werent the first time, wondering if the amount of ppl in the zone effects the spawn rate as there were 80+ ppl in teh zone at the time when they werent spawning and around 45 atm.
The Scepter is for the chest piece for Tier 1 OoW Armor quests. The quests are started by different mobs by plate/chain/leather/silk class. The junk drops for the quests vary by class of armor, but the main no drop piece is the same for all of them (so this is for the chest, no matter what class you are).
Took him down this evening dropped a glowing rune, a greater runer and velitorkin's Femur a dual wielder 19 19 mace. Will try and get deails of it asap.
Also really seems to hate group heals so if your paladins can take the DPS you should be fine
