As long as you have sow of some kind and make some ring of flight, he is very very easy to solo. Doesnt summon so you can just lev run back and forth across the chasm he's in and nuke (or chain pet if you're into that kind of thing) while he runs all the way accros the bottom. Personaly I just hate kite him by turning pet taunt off and running back and forth nuking on each side.
They really need to go back and take a look at some of the older drop rates, atleast for epics. My mage just got his 42nd kill, and still no Dirt of Underfoot.
Solo'd at level 46 with my Earth pet and a pair of Jboots on Fippy Darkpaw server. Aggro kited him around the lava pool while my pet beat on his back and occasionally rooted him
Got the drop on the first try. Why? Because I'm awesome
Location is correct, even on Drinal server. Although, I have killed this guy three times and no loot whatsoever.... Getting pissed. Waiting for the fifth cycle. BTW, there is no place holder, he is just standing there, pulling his head off and putting it back on... haha
Location is correct - my friend is on The Rathe server, single monster - just watch out for the wasps and stuff that fly around.
Best way she found to kill it easily (she's a 49 mage) - she had Virtue on her and pet, Koadic's Endless Intellect, and then her own pet buffs and Lava Shield. Pet weapons obviously either Hand of Ixiblat or the Summoned Fireblade that a level 40 pet can use and proc. Full summoned plate armor and Elemental Defender on pet.
She then sat on her horse, chain casted Refresh Summoning on her pet til the monster was around 60%, then alternated casting Cinder Bolt on monster and Refresh Summoning on pet til it was like 30%, then just threw nonstop Cinder Bolts til it died and neither her nor pet was below 75% life, and with 19 minute spawn time, plenty of meditation time left over :))
5th showing of it dropped the Dirt of Underfoot, all others were completely empty.
Downed him on Tunare / Ec'i at 8:44 PM pacific Time. Was Fairly easy as a 52 mage but had a 70 pally with me. He killed it in 2 procs of Holyforge Combat ability of 4k+
So he must have like 8 - 10k hp, notsure didnt nuke it once. Hit for 40 dmg at the most on pally.
His loc is exactely -676 -1130. He is exactely a 19min re-spawn and has no PH - always him that pops. Helping a mage friend with him tody and can confirm this is his exact loc and exact spawn time as i was so bored i timed it for 4 pops in a row. As said below, he is a little north of the meteor.
At level 51, this guy was pretty easy. I got Virtue on myself and my pet, and I got KEI for myself. I took the OT stone and went to Skyfire. Head south and then when you reach the zone border, go west. Invis is a VERY good thing here. Once you get to BW (I had a map), there will be a meteor at about -1000, -1000... but a little north of that. North of the meteor is a massive crater (the meteor itself is in the crater). I lev'd myself, and Slixin was right there, just north of the meteor. I BOIII'd and DS'd my pet, and pulled him with malaise as far away as I could (I have a drog, they take time to speed up). I ran up the southern edge of the crater, and run a tad more (a VERY tad). I summoned my pet (Summon Companion, gotta love that spell), and waited... and waited... finally, this guy shows up.
The fight was easy. I started off by chain healing my pet when he started to get below 80, and then I nuked once (come on, gotta have SOME exp! ;)). After the fight was over (and he didn't drop anything), I noticed that my mana was at 0, but my pet's health was fairly high. I changed my tactics for the next pull. Now, I was healing with Refresh Summoning ONLY, rather than alternating heals (as per the mag chain healing tactic) until my pet got down to 50% (it took quite a while), at which point I switched back to alternating heals for a short time. Slixin died shortly after I reverted to alternating.
The third pull, he started running before my earth pet re-rooted him. He dropped the dirt, and I gated back out.
He hits for about 137, and has at least 8,000 hp, based on the fact that I nuked for 600 and his hp went down something like 7%.
I went to Burning Woods last night with my level 51 magician, looking for some Dirt of Underfoot. A couple of comments on Slixin:
I killed him twice. First time, he dropped no loot at all. Second time, he dropped the Dirt of Underfoot and nothing else.
The second Slixin was definitely harder to kill than the first. But I could not have handled either version without some heavy buffing. I had KEI; my pet had Pot9, Regeneration, and Nature's Might in addition to Burnout III and Lava Shield. It was still fairly close, so I got the druid who buffed me the first time to come stand by for the second fight. That made the situation considerably safer.
I might mention that neither of us encountered any mobs on the way from the Dreadlands zone to the meteor (although I saw a wurm in the distance), and there were no wanderers or adds during the two fights and the between fight meditating.
Slixin is shown here as a warrior - best I can tell, he cast no spells - but he did a lot of spin kicks that certainly looked like monk moves to me.
Been doing my epic for my Magician on the Venril Sathir server, this mob isnt too tough, Soloable with ease to a level 51 Magician. It spawns every 30 mins or so, and NEVER drops the bloomin Dirt of Underfoot :P
i have been soloing him alllll day long, he aint got nothin on me and im only a lvl 44 bard, hes my ticket for my soloing untill about lvl 46 then off to the planes, if there are any mages on luclin thats willing to pay, i'll kill him for ya, i also got Mist of Povar off this guy, not a bad drop. i saw the mage epic peice drop like 10 times so far so its not taht rare.
