Droped a nice melee 1H Blunt a few times today. We 2 grped him. About 50/50 chance for the shield or the mace to drop it seemed.

farmed him with a mini pickup raid on fennin last night and got the strat down pretty well. We started out with 1 group, wiped at 60% but dps and healer died to AE at like 85%. So we figured "eh what the heck, lets team up and drop this fool." tried w 2 groups, wipe at 34%, but other group leader reported to me that their group was "a bunch of *bleeping* morons and stayed in FD after the AE." ok, so 3rd try, got 3 groups of lvl 65+ and smoked the chump. i MTed him all night long, 10500 war 500+ AA. we set up camp near causeway zone and since his repop is insane fast (6 mins after he dies) we were waiting on my defensive to reset rather than mob to repop. Any, the strat: we used a bard to pull just so he stayed ahead of the AE, pulled it into our raid, i hit em w/ ae taunt, bellow of mastruq and taunt to lock aggro asap, and went defensive. AE seems to go off every 20-25 seconds and appears to be unresistable. its a 2k DD, g-flux, and you land FDed. he also uses an effect called "ferran swipe" which is a spinny stun to the MT lasting a good 5 seconds, but no dmg. He alternates between the 2. When stonewalled, hunter hits for 1500ish, un disced like 2500. We didnt bother hiding healers or casters because aggro was hard to maintain after the FD. i found the best way to do it was Taunt during ferran swipe, when my aggro weapons werent hitting due to stun, and use the snap aggro disc every time he AEd, and aggro stayed fairly good. Had 3 clerics and a druid on the raid. Druid would use SotWood after the first AE to keep groups up and clerics would rotate cheal on me. Mob is shaman slowable, and slow lands almost immediatly. Like i said, using this strat, we killed SH approx 12 or 14 times in 3 hours, with many assorted mini rares between pulls. In addition to shield, he drops a mace called "Granite sceptre of Cruelty." 18 dmg 20 delay, 105 hp mana end, 5 or 10 to melee stats, 10 to saves and runic proc (100 magic skin) war brd rang rog bst 1hb. Very nice item. seems to be about 50/50 on which he drops, i think we had 6 maces and like 7 shields. Anyway, hope this helps.

Hits 2120 max to pre-elemental, level 66 SK. Ranger got 3k+ hit.

Group wiped at 99% (I saw someone hit him for 30HP before died hehe)

hit me for 2646

Would say he has an aggro range of 150 to 200 game feet away. Tentical stike ae causes a long stun and 2000dmg, if you are behind wall ae does NOT hit you

So this guy just sorta roams the first field in the zone. BIG agro range, sees invis. red con at 66

Seems to despawn unless the magical dps fairy popped out of nowhere and poofed his ***, watched a group attempt to take him.. he was at 97% when he was done with them. Procs an ae gflux, pretty big range too. I was spectating from quite a bit away and it hit me. did 1200 damage first time, second 2000. someone in zone said it hit him for 3000.

If other servers are like saryrn, this guy is just roaming around and wiping everyone with his unbelievable agro range.
