Gullerback  

66 second spawn timer. shares spawn table with Azdalin. Good post by Bobbybick https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=4597

180, 1050 is a good place to meet Gullerback in Burning Woods if you don't feel like wandering around.

Ran through here the other day, and noticed that none of the named was on track. Not even good Ole' Gullerback, who btw was always messing up my giant camp in my younger days.

Then I got to remembering the Fabled mobs were suppose to be back, but doesn't seem to be for GB, spent several hours running around and never did find any named on track, except that skellie guy over in the meteor crater...

What gives? They get rid of the named in this zone after making it a HZ a while back or do they all have PH's now?

I have a faily well equipped 55 paladin on FV that i have kept in BW soloing AA's when I feel like logging him. I keep him there because he does well with the undead and its good aa xp at 55. Ive encountered Gullerback several times and hes never been a real problem to take down with 5k hps in items and self buffs and self heals. Out of about 7 times killing him all ive ever gotten was the tattered mantle and a random item. Heres the interesting part, I recently started a solo career as a Necromancer. Hes decenlty equiped I guess, average item has about 80 mana for a total of a little over 3600 at lvl 54. I thought surely I could take out gullerback considering between my dots and the pets damage he has way more dps than the Paladin. I didnt recall that he was very resistant. I could not dot, slow, fear or life tap him. Im glad I dropped all the plat on pet toys, my little level 41 skeleton tanked him and killed him all by his self. Well done Gibarer I hit 55 on that kill.

I have soloed Gullerback with a lvl 55 paladin. Takes a lot of self heals. I have never successfully landed a spell on him, the closest I ever got was 24 points of a 243 point proc from a Fabled Ghoulbane, and that only happened once.

I have been in the zone with other characters and a hunting party, no spell caster ever got anything to stick. Moral of the story: Don't hunt this mob with a caster. Gullerback may not be magic immune, but he is extremely magic resistant. Melee is the only way to go here.

Was out in BW all afternoon with a tracker. Where he once used to be a common spawn he is now no longer up. Has anyone seen Gullerback recently since the anniversary event?

Finally saw Azdalin twice in a row the next day then Gullerback. Not sure what the non named ph is for this cycle.

When I was a 57 mage I solo'd this guy twice ( same technique both times ).

Sent Dyzil's Deafening Decoy to attack and at same time cast Wrath of the Elements. As soon as I recovered I cast Elemental Maelstrom. Then heal pet, as he will have been knocked down some by then. If I had time before WoE wore off I would also throw a Scars of Sigil ( sometimes resisted, sometimes not, but it is a fast cast and low mana burner.

From that point I just renewed WoE and EM ( the two mage dots ) as they expired and kept pet healed. Occasional Scars if I had time and pet was okay.

Took him out both times and the issue was never in doubt. However, I did quit fighting him unless he jumped me because both times I killed him it took me down to about a bubble and a half of mana and my pet was usually pretty low on hp as well so it made for too long a med. for what I got.

Just my two cents worth but I feel most Mage's rely too much on their DD spells ( and yes, we have some good ones ) and not enough on our DoT's. I use DoT's, Pet, and Scars of Sigil exclusively when fighting ( see the technique used on Gullerback ) and I can take out some very high level mobs that way. I know Scars is not a big hitter but is a VERY fast cast and low mana burner so supplements the DoT's and Pet quite well in most cases.

Thanks, and good hunting all

We're camping those named wurms in the zone for the mage epic, when we spotted this guy... Being a 58 mage and a 58 chanter he conned dk. blue and we figured it would be cake...

Resisted everything we threw at it...

Hits for around 150hp... Ate through our HP buffer shields and then went to town on the pets... Had to run this sucker to the zone out to break aggro and survive...

Nasty... Guess you need a melee group for this sucker...

I had no idea this guy couldn't be snared or rooted just popped into him today. Luckily i was buffed with SoE and had Scoriage up. I just ran out of his range, and pushed the scoriage button until i was in cast range. Then i repeated this 12-13 times until he was down. Had 238 wis with kei. Got the Tattered Mantle :| and almost 1/3 blue bub out of it. But it was fun. Scoriage and soe to run with does the trick with this guy easy.

I was on my 41 Bard today and was grouped in SF, trying to get some shards for his epic. When the group finally breaks up due to not really being high enough I decided to go back to DL and kite a bit.

Well as I ran through BW I see this guy on track and asked if anyone was beating him and they said no. He conned a big red to me but being a bard what does that matter?? Anyways I started kiting with just my flame chant since he resisted the disease one everytime i tried. Doing 48hps a tic I was only doing 1/2 a percent of dmg per tic but eventually did it and got the crappy shoulder thing. Good fun though

As a 56 bard I soloed him on several occasions. Snare type song does not stick with any consistency so i dont weave it in. Charmed wurms and Giants to make it go faster. Easy fight and conned dark blue every time. Only loot that has dropped is that fricin' tattered mantel..UGH!!!!
