Broog Bloodbeard  

Took him down with a 55 druid, a 40 ranger and a 37 wizard. The druid snared and kited while I followed behind slashing at his ankles. Took about 20 minutes of controlled kiting.

i just looted a essence of rath and can't find any info on in is this the same as the scent of marr? the essence of rath is a stackable item and has the graphix of a tresure chest in your invitory any idea on this would help thanks

Ok, you're all about right. but he was nerfed not too long ago and now has about 7k hp and hits for 121 Max, Broog has to be the most fun in RM. he really is a change from the boring old HG, took my group 12 minutes to kill the guy after he agroed on me ( the puller at the time ) a giant skel also came and killed our other warrior with Broog, if that skel hadn't of added there would have been no deaths. well 12 minutes, numerous Wakizashi of Frozen Skies procs, wurmy hits, centi ss hits, he fell. our cleric went OOM at about 30% HP. we got himan the skel, rezzed the warrior and everything was fine. he dropped over 40pp and a pearl, not much but who cares he was fun. back when i had a 60 chanter i Dire Charmed him, he 0wn3d HGs, great farming tool, the Brother guy wasn't up so i couldn't kill him :(.

Killed him last night. Must have about 10,000 hit points. Used ES Vambs mostly and saved mana for root spells. Took about 20 minutes to take him down. Got 1/2 blue and 5PP.

48 Druid with 193 wisdom

Level 49 Bard with a walrus skin drum. used chant of fire, chant of ice, chains and Accelerando. Took about 20 minutes or more ( wasn't keeping track) Droppped HG toes, mithril earing and words of somesort plus some plat. Kinda disappointing after all that work.

Me (50 druid) a 54 sk and a 54 druid killed him today took 2 mins keep him feared and it's all good. Seems to have 9-10K hp 25pp for loot

Typical Verant creation of a mob that is too hard
to kill. They just love frustrating people.. especially when one idiot uses the whole zone to
kite him and he ends up killin drunk medding oom
50th level paladins like me... Verant can stick it up their.... stick it up their.. stick it up their... :(

So far I don't see that anyone has gotten loot of any note off this mob. And a lot more are saying that he's not even worth it. I would like to say that the exp IS worth it. At lvl 49 I solo'ed Broog (took me 20 min) but gained 1.7 blue bubbles of EXP in the process. If I ever see him again you can be sure I'll be running at him and not away.

My group killed this guy tonight, it wasnt that easy, but it would have been easier had one of the tanks been capable of really holding aggro. I tryed to avoid this guy, and just as I had ran to the other side of the hill, and had my sights set on a lowly cyclops, I get hit for double 100's+, kicked, and bashed. Shouts had been up about this guy being trained on random groups there, and we had decided to stay clear of him, so I shouted "Broog to zone". My group, always up for a challenge, opted for me to pull him to them. I got there with about 1 bub of health, got my heal, and we started at him. Snare never stuck, but luckily, fear and 1 darkness, did, so went we chasing him all over the zone. This guy has a TON of hitpoints, about 10k judging from the length of the fight. Every time fear wore off, he would aggro our necro (this is why I said that it would have been easier if he could have been taunted onto a warrior). The necro would get interrupted a couple times before he could get another fear off, and our healers, cleric and druid, spent a lot of mana keeping him alive. At about 2/5 of his health everything fell apart. Healers were OOM, necro couldnt cast because he'd die in a couple hits, and all the tanks except me were at less than half health. The necro just ran for his life, and my frikkin sow wore off, luckily, the pallies were stunnin him enough for me to stay close enough to keep hittin him. Finally, when it seemed inevitable that at least 2 of us would die, if not our entire group, Broog Bloodbeard turned away to flee. We promptly finished him off. Our necro had less than half a bub left. I looted, and got 2pp and some words, and the split was 1pp and change for everyone else. Was really fun to kill him with noone dying, but why he spawns at all is beyond me. I reccomend not trying to take him on with a normal HG group of low 30's-mid 40's and immediately after seeing him go to /ooc and get people together to just get rid of him fast, so everyone can go about their business. My group consisted of the following: 40 necromancer, 33 druid, 34 cleric, 41 paladin, 38 rogue, and 39 paladin. Thanks for letting me share my little experience with you.

So does anyone know how many HP's this guy has?
I know its a ton but does anyone have an estimate?

I have been in Rathe for quite some time, and have NEVER see this guy....until last night. Mage (40) and I (44 Druid) zoned in to Rathe and was pleasantly greated with Clarity from a medding Chanter. Off we go to the HG hill and was UNpleasantly greated by Broog. Some higher Druid couldn't take him (most likely didn't want to) so we got stuck. It took us a long time to flatten this sucker and were very disappointed at the loot.
So off we go to pick off some HGs. We finished off one (Clarity gone by this time) and a Bard comes running..right to me..with an HG on him. I had already snared a fresh HG when I see this OBVIOUS, DELIBERATE train. It was none other than Broog again. I parked the HG I pulled next to the Mage and dotted him up. Then I set off to return Broog to the Bard and his group. I was called every immature name in the book but persisted to give them back their pull. My partner dropped the HG I had pulled and the Bard and his group zoned. So we had to work Broog over a second time. This time it took us about an hour as we were both VERY low on mana. He fell, and /ooc'd the zone: If Broog spawns again, we aren't killing him a third time. 8)
What a wasted evening. And I have now been added to another ignore list by my duty to call dumb people just that. hehe

I'm a 50 shaman, a necro asked me to help kill Broog. I dont know what level the necro was but he seemed capable. He only ever resisted one spell from me which was a root. I dropped one plague and about 5 ebolts. I dont know what the necro cast altogether but he ended up having to gate before it was over. Once I was oom, I'd run up away from him then canni once and run again, rinse repeat. I didnt have chloro up unfortunately, wasnt expecting such a battle. I ended up at one bubble and he was at less than a bubble. I then yelled for some help and a group helped finish him off. It took a long time, I was starting to worry about sow going. His loot: 47pp some toes and essence of rathe (mage research) I'd say 10k hitpoints is very possible. Still a fun battle even though no reward

this is for magician research

I lv47 necro saw it last night, i was at 40m, and hit it, took about 5 min to take it down to half life, but a cylop came in hit my pet, so I gated. After I came back it wais still there, I med up, and took it to half health again, but doom darkness didn't stick on the third try, so I had to run away again.

I was pissed so I called 4 other friends, and killed him less than 2min, I think it has more hp than the shardtooth in GD.
