Gantru Dralkenr  

Guys Guys Guys, this guy is wery simple... If you have slow, tugurs, earthcaller, or TToD, this guy will fall fast, i my self solo this one often after server patch's... Im a 64 sham now, been doing this guy sins lvl 60, i have malo and torpor, tho malo isent needed, Slow sticks almost everytime at first cast at lvl 64. W/O kei and out side buffs, i have 3k hp, just barely... i have cann5 too... he takes around 10mins to kill solo. Useing pet, epic jbb pox and bane. Good luck...
PS, Might bracer is the most common, well, maybe cha bracer is...

Rolled into UP lookin for moktor for bard buddy of mine..already got my set...was me 62 bard 54 bard 53 dru adn a 50 SK we picke dup there....name dpopped and i really was thinkin we coudl do it....but i tried mez/med tactic and it worked fine....only regened a percent or 2 every few minutes while mezzed. So wasn't a problem...Dropped BoQ...i won the roll..go me! lol...Not resistant at all really to mez...occasionally resist. We mezed him to med 2 times before killing him.

Was a nice battle. Me and a guildie (61 shm) were doin Moktors and saw Dralkener just kikin a chiken, my friend was scepticle at first because he didnt think his slow would stick, so i pulled him anyway. We got him to about 20% and im not nameing any guilds but *cough *cough Solidarity *cough , man my throat is sore , trained us. I wus supa pissed. We zoned went back in and my friend was 20m and they pulled him expecting us to be able to take him. Had no choice but to take him and got him down to about 5% and he enraged and i didnt notice and forgot to turn atk off and dropped with a quikness. Luckily had a friend to rez me right b4 loot was available to ninja , int bracelt dropped.

Me (52 war) and 3 friends (52 shammy, 52 chanter, and 54 cleric) went to go check out UP for the first time because we heard that we could fight the guys near the entrance.

Im pulling and, as they all red with the ocasional yellow, we are just testing out what the difrent mobs do and just haveing some fun.

So i pull this guy. You can single pull him if you just wait for him to walk away form the camp, wasn't hard.

We pull him in tash sticks, slow sticks, non of the dots would stick, the clerics reverse damage shield thing worked out well (15 damage everytime he hits someone) and nukes would land but he was unstunable and unrootable. All three casters got a pet on him, each pet did about 7k damage over the battle and I did 22k. He did a little over 21k damage to me over the course of the battle and about 1k to the shaman chanter and one of the pets. The Cleric with C2 didnt' have any mana problems as all agro was controlled (started with two BBoTs and moved to a Savage stone axe after I firmly grianed agro, never lost it, cleric never even got agroed.

He would summon the shaman every 10-15 seconds but never realy took a swing at him. I don't know if this is a bug or not. When he rampages the cleric just started casting CH when i was at 50% or did the quick 1k heal if i was allready below 50%, other then that the cleric started casting CH when i hit 20-25%. For some reason when he rampaged he would just hit me more often, didnt' touch the pets. Maybe this was because the casters were next on the hatelist and out of range? I don't know why but the rampages acted more like enrages, which he did do at the end of the battle but all the casters just nuked him to end it (enchanter got the kill).

Only thing we wished we did difrently is to give me a symbol ahead of time. The exta hp would have saved the cleric a CH or two.

He hits for 195 max ocasionally twice in a row. And i would estimate his hp to be between 50 and 60k. I know we did 45k melee damage but i don't have the caster damage in my logs. The enchanter and shammy had enough mana to fully buff all the pets and toss out all the nukes they dared too with out gaining agro. Entire fight form pull to loot took 14 mins.

Overall fun mob and not that tough. None of us have uber gear but we now have a Bracelet of might... no real use for it though. Kind of a bummer as any other bracelet drop could have been put to use.

Earthcaller proc(50% slow) + KEI on the cleric=dead Dralkenr(25 minutes later)

We took him down with one group today, 57 warrior, 55 warrior, 56 wizzy, 56 cleric, 57 ranger,and me 56 shaman, comfortable fight landed slow and cripple on first cast, boy does he have some HP, great single pull by ranger, dropped Int bracer, cool fight.


Got nothin' to say just want to eat my cake

This guy is a push over! took him down with 60 shm 60 warr 52 warr 50 rogue 51 bard and me 56 cleric I CH'd the tank one time the whole fight lasted about 4mins or so get you a shaman to slow this bugger and he is as easy as killing a decaying skeleton, drop braclet of sense for us. pull him right into the zone in area no add was easy as pie.

I have been hunting this guy with my shaman and warrior. I 2box so it's kind of a pain but worth it. In the time that I've hunted him this is what I have learned.

Seems to pop between 8 and 12 hours after his death or shortly after a server reset.

He has approximately 50k HP

He slows easy and rampages usually once a minute.

He sees invis unlike the other gantrus.

He'll walk close to that rock at the inzone eventually and if done right he can be single pulled. The aggro radius on the gantrus is very small and almost no chain aggro is apparent. Watch out for the occasional raveger or assasin on the north side.

He summons.

He cries like a baby when I spank him.

So far I have gotten 2 bracelets of fortitude, 1 bracelet of sense, and one bracelet of quickness. I'll need to hunt him some more to gather more info.

Anyone know his respawn rate? Didn't see him for the 9 or so hours I was there yesterday...

Thanks.

you can do him with just a shaman, cleric, monk. very easy but it will be like a 10min fight i do this a few times each week np, and cleric is still fm when he dies.

We did this guy with a 57sk, 52wiz, 57 rogue, 59 druid, and 60 cleric (ie no slow). Was a very tough fight, when he was at about 30% hp the cleric was at 10 mana, so I tanked him to two bbls of hp and then kited him in a circle over and over while the rogue melee/bs until the cleric got enough mana for ch again, did this many times, was kind of amusing actually. He only summons every 5 seconds or so, if you got 1k hp left and only taking minimal melee dmg when he does summon, this tactic can be useful (need a sk though or some other high aggro class that can keep the aggro, even with ch and wiz nukage, he never looked at anybody but me). His melee isn't that strong, missed me about half the time, if he is slowed he's just a big ***** cat. I believe the shm that said they solo'd him, lot of hp, but slowable + gay melee, bane/epic etc would eventually wear him down.

We went to UP last night with 5 mages, 2 epic btw< lv's ranging from 52(me) to 60, and we where killing the wanderers by the zone in yunnel, till we seen this guys stoll past..

Easily done with 5 mages, i myself stayed at or very near FM the whole fight, so did the other mages.. we chain petted him for 10 minutes striaght , took forever, but it was so much fun.. this guy has alot of HP's i mean alot, prob 100k or around, trick is not to nuke and you wont get summoned, instead he just summons the 5 pets bashing him up.. vgery awesome fight, and in the end he dropped the Bracer of Might, which one of our lucky mages won for a twinkage.. all and all this was an awesome encounter and we did it with 5 peeps ...>>never doubt the powers of a mage<<<

52 Mage
Rodcet Nife

A group of my guildmates (and one former guildmate) and I took him down last nite, pre-patch. We did it with one group consisting of 54 SK, 54 Druid, 59 Druid, 52 Cleric, 53 Enchanter, and 52 Shaman (me). No deaths, we had 3 pets beating on him, tank took quite a few CH's but never died, and we all ended up about 20-40% mana left. Bakkin, our 59 Druid did an awesome job of pulling all nite long. I landed Malosi on the first cast and everything after that landed, with no resists; Turgurs, Ebolt, chanter Cripple, you name it. Dropped the Bracer of Quickness, which went to Nazrak, our tank.

Update: Took him down again on 5/15. This time it was a much larger party (well, about 11 people). Enraged quite a few times during the fight, and only had one death at the very beginning because of add. Our tanks, chanter, and cleric took him down fairly quick. Definitely a easy fight once he is slowed and crippled. Had a moktor add at the beginning, which we proceeded to use my body to keep busy. Cleric was even gonna Rez in the middle of the fight because she was swimming in mana. No one feeding her either. Dropped the Bracelet of Might, which went to the monk (Grats Figlet =))
