a deepwater crocodile  

fresh meat

i got a pearl shard off one that sells for almost 1pp

Level range might be a little higher than guessed here. I was on my way back to Rathe Mountains today and had lost lvl 25 earlier. When zoning through Oasis I figured the DW Crocs would still be xp green and would be an easy way to get back my level. They are easy but they still con blue at 24.

I was soloing these DW Crocs as a Lvl 21 Enchanter and got into a little trouble. When I tried to run (w/ SoW), I couldn't get away. This guy kept up with me every step of the way. I died running my **** off and screaming help like a lil girl.

These guys also have unbelievable resistance to the fear spell. I could never get fear to take effect.

I think these are the most dangerous crocs in Oasis, other than Lockjaw. I wanted to see if i could solo one. I yield a Gleaming Short Sword (10dam/29delay), and a Chitin Shell Shield (15AC). People almost always say that you should go 2handed sword always for more damage... i say not. I hit him for 20, but before the croc can I attack I bashed him for 10, the clock tics, ticks, i hit him again for 19, then he bites me but I dodge, I hit him 20, hit for 15, bashed for 7, tic, tic, bite for 36, hit for 20, cast lighter healing on myself before i hit again and before i bash to make up for his damage to me, hit for 20, bash for 7...
Moral of story, while a 2 handed sword hits for 29 most of the time (most are around 12dam, 42delay or so), i could hit for 20, bash for 10 (bashing causes the croc to get stunned meaning free hits!, kind of light when an orc bashes you and the screen starts to spin:), and since he's stunned my sword is fast enough (and has enough damage) to hit him for 20 again (or i can choose to heal myself since he's stunned and i wont get interrupted either). There is one catch... since I solo these... If I start with full mana, i can kill about 10 or so till no more mana, and then i have to meditate or sit to heal. The best combo?... 2 paladins on one! Have one keep taunting it while both beat it, and the one not getting hurt heals the one taunting... the fastest way to level in Oasis... beats 4 or 5 in a group with the orcs. I went from 16 to 17 in 1 hour doing this solo. But most of it was not soloing, had another Paladin same lvl as I, with shield. Oh... and if your 2 handed sword misses... i could hit for at least 3 times with my sword by the time its next hit comes. While i only hit from 15 to 20 and the 2 handed hits for almost 30, my shield does 7 to 10 with my sword... in short terms, i can hit 20, bash for 10, and hit for 20 again before the croc can even hit me once! oops long story
See you in Oasis

Me (a level 14 Shadowknight), a Monk, and a druid, (both level 13-14 I think) took on one of these bad boys today in Oasis. I mistakenly pulled it just as the Monk was saying how to not pull one because they are much more difficult than their Deepwater Caimen relatives. Well we were all prepared for a long fight and corpse retrieval when I said that he was definately going to resist a Harm Touch (an orc warrior, or a orc warrior has done so before). Well the Harm Touch stuck and knocked him down into the defeatable range. Plus the exp gave our druid the little boost he needed for level 14 and his SOW spell. All in all, a good day's croc slaying in Oasis of Marr.

When I hunted there when I was lvl 19, these babies conned red to me, and sometimes took out my group, so watch out and always con before you attack one of them. And be prepared to take some damage.

If you're a druid, don't try to solo these before you get the careless lightning DD spell at level 19. Its maximum hit is roughly three times that of ignite...and unless you want to be oom and trying to melee this thing to death when it's still at 2/3 health and biting you hard... I'd suggest either grouping or leaving it be. Once you do hit 19, the yellows are very easy to kite and solo. Oh.. and deepwater crocs and caimans both seem to resist snare a lot.. which can make life interesting.

Any Necromancers out there, easy way for GREAT exp, i soloed these from 17-19. all you do is cast Engulfing Darkness, then Fear. as they run slow as heck let your pet attack from behind and you cast all your major DoTs. by the time you do that fear will be off and he'll be at half to less then half life, all ya do next is cast Lifedraw once or twice and then run up and finish him off melee style. GREAT exp and well well worth it. you get clarity and you can get some mjor leveling from soloing them.

I don't get it.. they are like 1/10th the size of crocs.. how can they do so much damage =))).

These things con "ready to attack" to me. All DW crocs and caimans do, yet I have never, ever once been attacked by them. Strange stuff.

they drop runes of scales

oh also i hate the effers. they bite casters like me hard. once i was bit for 55 just cause i wanted to raise my piercing skill a little :(
