Does anyone have a spawn time on this guy?

Solo'ed this guy last night, 50th level ogre shadowknight. As you already know, can't be snared or feared. He can certainly be debuffed, melee'ed down, and dot'ed though, so that's what I did.

I kept hitting him with the spear line, lifetaps, + heart flutter and heat blood (or was it boil blood?). His damage was upwards of around 160 hit points, and hits fast. At first, I tried tanking him down, I had my clarity and buff potions, my speed potions, and my regen potions. None of it was enough, and I even had my little mushroom-regen pet thingy up. I gave up tanking when I was at 30% and he was around 70%. I have over 3100 hp's with my potion buff, armor class of about 1100, and 3002 mana btw.

The tried and true method - I quicky learned to get ahead of him (had a sow potion) and recast heat blood and heart flutter when they lapsed. I basically just kited him all over the desert this way, and the fight took about 25 minutes. Dropped the tempest rune only. Gave exp but no faction hits. Has about 10,000 hit points. His regen is nonexistant while in combat, but regens fast out of combat. He starts to run at 10% ...not 20%, so be careful. Tanking down his final 10% is a snap.

This fight made me realize how dependent I had become on fear kite. A harbinger of the higher levels? I hear a lot of higher level mobs are immune to fear and snare.

Interestingly, the mob I took on right after this was the ghoul of Takish-hiz...which is also immune to snare. Just not my night...

Killed him today and he dropped: Words of Asylum along withe the Rune. He is immune to speed change spells like snare and root.

i kited him easy just playing chants ... took awile but i got him after about 1 min 40 sec's, he resists alot.

51 Paladin and 56 Shaman beat him down. Disease slow was only slow that landed.

encountered this guy today while running around bored in South Ro. Conned dark blue to my 65war but was indifferent. Seeing as I was really bored I just ran up and started wailing away. Having full buffs and almost 8k life helped a lot I'm sure, He took me down about 3500hp's before i killed him. Hardest hit I remember was for about 160 something. When I looted and received a no drop Rune of the Tempest and about 10 gold I figured that I'll just let him walk next time. Not worth killing for loot I promise ya.

I was out hunting the AC with some friends, a 49 ranger, 31 cleric and me a 52 wizzy, and we decided to try to take this guy down. Hes Dk blue at 52, yellow to 49. So we take him to the back of the desert. he starts taking the ranger down fast. He is immune to changes in run speed so no root or snare. I nuke him with Ice Comet..he takes full 1120 damage but it only takes him down about 11%...I was like @#$%. At first I thought we should zone but on second thought decided to kite him. So i kited him back and forth across the back of the desert while the cleric and ranger followed me. The cleric healed me and the ranger was slashing him up from behind to delay him as he chased me. This guy hit me hard in the 140 range. About 10 nukes later he was dead, figuring he has about 10k HP. No good or bad faction hits, dropped the rune and thats it. But was fun to get him out of our way. I wouldn't suggest trying to take him alone at any level..hes tuff.

Just killed him today with my level 45 bard, was twisting 2 dots and Selo, he resisted about 90%-95% of my songs (my charisma is 137) so it took me a lot of time to kill him. Got Tempest rune too but I dont know what it's for.
I went too close to him only 1 time and he double hit me for arround 50.
That was not very hard but very long :)

While bored stupid of trying to understand the AC spawn rate in South Ro, myself and two friends came across this guy in a fairly suprised manner.

To kill him we had the following:
41 Warrior
50 Shaman + Pet
52 Shadowknight + Pet
Shaman buffed both tanks and pets.
included: HoS(HP+Str+Dex buff) + Str + Dex + Sta + Agi + SoW + Chloro + Haste + Guardian(AC Buff) on the main tanks and Haste and HOS on pets only.

Shadowknight pulled and Shaman (me) hit it with Malise and then Slow but Weaken didn't stick... so I moved on... DoT didn't stick, tried both twice and gave up and stuck to healing... Didn't see to resist much else though the SK noted no fearing or Snaring was available....

Fell and much to our disappointment there was no Fungi Tunic (well, we dream quite vividly) but some silly rune...

Oh well... just incase you think about killing... maybe has about 10k HP?

p.s. He will NEVER drop the Fungi Tunic. That was humour (yeah yeah, not good I know!)

Killed this guy today. I'm a 60th lvl wizard. I tried to root and snare him, both were resisted everytime. right clickie debuff was resisted about 75% of the time too. Bard mez and slow / snare was resisted too (55th lvl bard). I just kited him around nuking with Ice Spear and Ice Draughts until he died. Additionally, he didn't stop running after me until he just had a sliver of life left. had about 10 - 12k in hit points.
