ok, for hunting, these guys have much less HP than the other mobs in the zone. So us lower lvls should think about trying to take them out instead. I don't doubt they drop that spore armor...but i've killed like 50 of em and never found any :(. They do regen like hell, and can hit for 45. They aren't so bad on their own, but they hav a bad habit of joining in when u are fighting two or 3 trogs or netherbians, which doesn't help.
My 26 mage could solo them one or two vs me and pet.
Bunch of these stupid bums jumped out from behind a rock and killed me before I could hit auto attack. 22,34,44,23,25,36,45,32,54,43,32,23,54,43,54,45,54,29, BOOM! Loading, Please Wait!
These bad boys have an incredible regeneration rate. Probably equal to a Fungal Tunic or something. Two rounds of wiffs by me and Tigger and the bastage regenerated almost a full "letter" in it's name.
