a wooly mammoth  

LOL - what you always do - kite.

I got to try it as a lvl 29 cleric the same day as I wrote the above.

Just as I had hoped they were pretty easy kills at 29. Like night and day compared to 28. Root and 3 x wrath and maybe one smite and they run (if your root still isn't holding that is). That's 495-565 mana, assuming you need to cast root twice. 3 bubbles for me.

At 29 the exp bar still makes quite a jump if you kill one of these, seen it go more than a half blue for one kill.

HI thanks to the post and yoiur info hope you check in with me anyone on ZebZeb server.

in a group of 3, my warrior at 17 another warrior at 16 and a rogue at 15

killed a mammoth, it's not that hard...also we died a few times later that night

so...it is possible that they killed that mammoth...after all...i did it in an all melee group, lol

And also it's "too" many exclamation marks. Before you go about annoyingly correcting other people's grammar, make sure that yours is flawless.

actually, it's strategy

My wizard solo these at 20 with a 50% kill rate,
By 50% I mean i killed 50% the guard killed the rest. A mammoth never killed me unless i went ld or when i grouped with a bunch of melee type that could not hit or taunt and i outdamaged the 4 of them by 3 to 1, I learned then that the tank need to be higher than me.
When you get resist, and trust me you will, run to snowflake cause the mammoth will kill you before bandl will kill it, thus run to snowflake where their are 3 guards that will mow it down before you lose a red or any hp.

At 20 force shock bites, just pisses them off more and seem like I was hit for more. Stick to lighting bolt and make sure you have sow.
If you do not have sow as a wizard, don't even try mammoths because they have a high resist or will break root before you can even begin to cast your first damage spell.

I used straight Nuke spells for this mob as the sooner they are dead the better, because while kitting they can and will call others to help and like all mobs when they have a friend the will attack you until they are dead. They will not run off like they do when they are singled out, 2 mammoths or even a mammoth and a calf will attack you until you, or they are dead. Also another plus when you have 2, the resist seem to be higher too and damage is less cause the other sometime gets in the way and diffuses the spell damage amount.

If you do get two of them, kite them until you kill or run out of mana, then run the remaining one or if unlucky two to snowflake, if you have 2 running to snowflake is a must and i would even suggest running past the last guard at snowflake with 2 and be prepared to get beat, I kited 3 once killed the one that i had and ran the 2 remain to snowflake and kept running until i had no target.

THis is just forwhen you are a lvl 20 wizard at 21 and 22 they get much easier and the force shock started to do damage but the fail rate was still high, would just stick with the lightning bolt. also at 21 and 22 root starts to work longer then 3 seconds or soo

last bit of advice if you see an ice giant pull your kite away from them. ice giants will hit anything that is attacking something even if you are not attacking them, and they hit wizards for 117hp a shot and sometimes they get of 2 at once, which makes the double 50 hits from the mammoths look like childs play
