I saw him walking around I engaged as a Hunter, it's very strong and has a magnetic pull skill that pulls you towards him hard to kite this elite.

Commento di 14583

Marticar is a Rare Elite, It requires a group of 3+ to kill him. Tanking and Healing is required here, his difficulty and hit points are similar to that of a level 63 Instance Boss.

I spotted him on the Western edge of Zangramarsh, moving in a North-South Patrol.

He dropped the Striderhide Cloak of the Falcon for me, 20 Agility 20 Intellect.

Commento di 14696

Killed today. Hunter (me) + druid-healer, pet was tank :) 57 k hp.. ouch. My mobhealth show 82k. I went oom at least :)
Dropped cloak of fiery wrath - 44 fire dmg

Commento di 3464

Druid-feral & druid-balancer as healer + non group Rogue.
81k health, drain mana & heal (?), magnetic pull.
2-2,5k damage (8k armor Bear)

Striderhide Cloak of the Owl
+20 Intellect, +20 Spirit

Commento di 25160

Solo'd as a level 70 protection spec warrior. I believe this would be very difficult without spell reflection. He has a nasty lightning tether dot and is immune to fear. Only engage him if you know you can handle it, he will pull you back to him, making it very difficult to kite or run away.

Commento di 25246

Took him down with 5 people.

3 Hunters, a Warlock, and a Druid. We had the pets tank him while the Druid heal'd us, the Warlock did his thing and the Hunters did their thing.

Dropped: Striderhide Cloak of Intellect
+33 Intellect

Commento di 13082

Took him down as a 66 Fury/Prot warrior with a Disc/Holy priest healing/wanding.

He dropped:
Striderhide Cloak of the Sorcerer
+24 Stamina, +16 Intellect, +19 Spell Damage and Healing

The key to this fight was timing the Spell Reflects because he doesn't give a warning before casting it. It reflects on himself for 1k dmg every second for 5 seconds. If you can time these correctly, its 5seconds of 1kdps and you taking zero damage. Otherwise it ticks on you for 900 a second, you definetly want to sheild bash.

Commento di 29243

70 and 63 Druid, Feral and Feral/Resto.

Hit like a bus at first, but after rezzing my 70 Bear Tank he got suddenly easy. Just tethered me and held me close like a good tentacle monster as he took a beating from my Bear.

Striderhide Cloak of the Elder
+24 Stamina, +16 Intellect, +6 Mana Per 5 sec.

I "soloed" him as a 68 rogue, I was at Cenarion Refuge when I saw him, I shouted at General for one or 2 ppl more for help, but noone answered, all that time I was following him and he passed by Telredor's stairs, so I stealthed, CS some hits, went away and kited him with Deadly throw, guards took agro almost instantly off me... Some stabs, rupture and Cloak of shadows did the rest. Dropped a greenie and
Striderhide Cloak of the Gorilla
+20 Intellect, +20 Strength

Commento di 13359

70 Prot warrior, 70 Arms/Fury warrior and 70 Hunter. Spell reflect sure helps, but it's hard to time it, since that lightning tether is a channeled spell.

Nonetheless, we got him down, he dropped the cloak with a "of the Beast" suffix, +16 Strength, +16 Agility, +24 Stamina.

Commento di ryanxp

I wish I would've known he was a real elite and not just a silver one...

...so much pain.

Commento di 22738

Did it with lock 70 demo tanking with felguard and shadow priest 70 healing the pet. Priest gone oom but i just dotted the mob and health funnel the pet. Not that easy, the mob has tons of hp.

Commento di MTops

The lightning attack is melee range only. It will target everyone around but the primary target has to be in melee range.
The tank can simply walk out of melee range when the lightning attack starts and the party will only take one tick of the attack.

Commento di morduun

Spotted him today just outside the Spawning Glen and dropped him, 64 Prot Warrior + 66 Oomkin Druid. Physical hits are hard but not overwhelming, but the channeled spell attack will wreck you if you don't reflect or interrupt it. Spell Reflect is a godsend against him; it seemed to me like he fell into a fairly predictable timing pattern: time it right and he's his own worst enemy, but keep your finger near your Bash just in case your timing's off. He dropped the NR cloak for us -- will keep it around for Coilfang.

Commento di Telena

We killed him lvl 61 warrior 64 shadow priest 62 hunter 62 rogue and a lvl 64 affliction lock (me) it took like 4 tries but we pulled him too the graveyard and ressed a million times he dropped the sorceror cloack he has about 81k hp hes not too hard if ye have a good tank and a good healer then this can be done three man easily

Commento di 34511

This mob roams in zangarmarsh. Despite he is "only" 63 elite he his strong. I tried killing him with my prot warrior thinking he would be freeloot... well not really !

He has an AOE lighting spell that does quite a bit of damage, as well as that magnetic pull capacity some elementals have.

He has 83K hp, and striked be from 300 to 1K+, he hits fast too...

Commento di QuiSiLoR

I engaged him today - lvl 70 Hunter and lvl 70 Priest.

He has 83k HP but he is 2 manable. He dropped :-
Striderhide cloak of the whale - 66 armour, 20 Spit, 31 Stam

Wouldnt advise trying to solo him, he moves fast and with his pull ability makes it near impossible

Commento di 42957

i "soloed" him as lvl 63 warlock, i died

Commento di 26256

We downed him today 65 War, 65 Priest, 70 Rogue

Dropped the cloak with +16 Int, +16 Spirit + 35 Healing.

The priest was happy

Commento di Nerissa

Ow. Tried to solo this guy just now, lvl 70 holy paladin.

Death caused by the unexpected 1K damage ticks from lightning tether. Was assuming I'd have a tad more latitude in healing meself when dealing with a lvl 63 elite :x

Commento di retrofade

Took him down with a 70 Protection Paladin (me) and a 70 Destro Lock.

Ended up having to spam heal myself, along with using a health stone, two bandages (while he was stunned), a super healing potion, and my Lay on Hands.

Dropped of the Beast
66 armor
+16 Strength
+16 Agility
+24 Stamina

Commento di 6261

The most important thing is to not get hit by the lightning more than you can help.

It is a melee range channeled spell, so strafe away and you will only take 1k or so dmg.

Cannot be kited because he teleports you to him if you run out of range.

Commento di loozerr

Took him down with lvl 66 healadin (me) and lvl 63 warrior... Just lured him to cenarion refuge and guards took it down.

Dropped of the Sorcerer. ^^

Commento di z3ndog

As stated above, thought he'd be ezmode to solo a 63 rare elite by a 70 BM Hunter... after he burned thru my cat and mana 3x's (thank you FD!), I called in a 70 Resto Shammy.... and we took him down easily, albeit a fairly long fight...

Dropped the cloak with +spirit +int +healing.... the Shammy's response:
'meh' ;)

Commento di 41808

Was on my 63 rogue w/ a 63 mage when we first came acrossed this. Easily died on that attempt. So I logged on my 70 mage and friend logged on her 70 priest.. and that didn't do much for us either.. But luck came on our side when we res'd and chased it back down.. and I realized how close we were to Orebore.. so I just kited it over there and had the guards take over.

Dropped "of the Bandit". My rogue was pretty happy :)

Commento di 52494

70 Hunter and Mage, kited him after pet died. "Of the Prophet" cloak, my druid alt is happy :D

Commento di 61934

Soloable as 70 Demonology lock. Had felguard tank, with curse of weakness. Used health funnel most of the battle and used trinkets. Took over 2 minutes as the cooldown on first trinket was ready before the fight ended.

Commento di 70335

Duoed as a holy paladin(me, and I tanked) and a balance druid. Marticar hits hard and has nasty ability as stated before. Killed him on the second try, because we had to get a feeling about this elite :)
GL to anyone who fights him!

Dropped:
Striderhide Cloak of Arcane Protection
31 Stamina
20 Arcane Protection

Commento di 43821

Immune to fear.

Commento di 17486

I highly doubt he's "soloable" by any class. I've tried as a protection warrior, using spell reflect (you'll run out of health before he does, even using pots and trinkets, while the 1k nature damage lightning reflects, his hits don't and he hits fast), and I've tried as a demonology warlock (FG drops like a rock, even with trinkets, elixirs and food for extra health funnel). I also doubt that kiting him to the guards got you anything, as you would have to do more damage to him than the guards did in order to loot him. I have downed him twice, but once as my prot spec warrior in a group with a DPSer and a healadin (died several times trying to solo), and once on my demo spec warlock, kiting him to the guards in Telredor (also died several times trying to solo, got no loot, couldn't out damage the four guards before Marticar dropped).

Be smart, grab a few level 70 friends (tank + healer + DPS) and get a nice blue cloak. And have fun flying above him, watching the level 64's attempt to solo him!

Commento di 53871

63 holy priest, 64 (?) warlock, and 63 feral druid (tanking) took him down.
extremely easy, tank and spank.

dropped

66 Armor, +44 Nature Damage

Commento di 36409

Duo'd Marticar as a Feral Druid (70) and an MS Warrior (64) near the Dead Mire.

In tanking gear (~20500 armor, 13000HP), Marticar was only hitting me for 180-250. Lightning Tether is a major pain since Bash has a 60 second cooldown, but a Warrior on top of his pummels can stop LT before it hurts too much. I did have to use Feral Regeneration and a quick Barkskin -> Regrowth -> Healing Touch to survive, as Marticar has a boatload of HP.

Dropped an "Of the Champion" cloak (16 Strength, 24 Stamina, 16 Defense rating).

Commento di Therax

One of Marticar's routes passes just a bit south of Orebor. It's close enough that you can kite him up to the entrance, into the guards. As long as you do sufficient damage to "claim" him, you still get to loot. I'd used a Shadowburn in my successful attempt.

Yes, kiting definitely works. However, Marticar burned through 5,000 HP on the trip to the town. He frequently uses the magnetic pull, to bring you back to melee range.

If you can wind your way among the mushrooms, you may get lucky enough to merely be pulled back against a mushroom, rather than into melee range. That happened once. That helped reduce damage down to that 5k figure, mentioned above.

He hits for 500-700 damage on cloth. Fear doesn't work. He's immune to Curse of Exhaustion (slowing effect). He's likely unaffected by other forms of crowd control.

* * *

Another possible strategy might be to send the Imp out to attack. It would die rather quickly, but Marticar would turn on you, after the Imp dies. That may give you enough of a head start, to stay outside the range of the magnetic pull, until you get to town. Just hit him with something solid (Fire Blast, Ice Lance, Shadowburn) before you reach the guards, to ensure you get loot rights after he dies.

Once the town guards are involved, they quickly get a solid hold on his attention. DPS to your heart's content.

* * *

With regards to the post about soloing with a Felguard, I believe it's possible for a well-geared warlock to do. My own warlock's current spec is Affliction/Destruction, for raiding. With no talent enhancements, the Voidwalker is just a large soft pillow. It was able to keep going for 30 seconds, slowly losing health, on the first solo attempt. With Curse of Weakness, and Health Funnel, it was close enough that a Felguard would have likely succeeded.

A Demo/Affliction Warlock, with the following spec should have enough damage resistance, and sustainability to maintain the pet.

https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/talent=IyMrZ0gczIizcest

You'll be using Health Funnel most of the time. Refresh Curse of Weakness as needed. Fit in Drain Life, occasionally. A "Threat Meter" addon will let you know if you can fit in the occasional Corruption.

Commento di 7289

Soloed him as lvl 70 prot warrior with full epic gear...
Cannot hit me. The only problem si his Lighting burst, just need to stop channeling it.
Took me about 5 min to kill :)
Drop cloak of shadow wrath (+44 shadow dmg)

Commento di 54475

Just soloed as a 70 feral, fight was a joke. Moving away to charge when he cast lightning tether stopped the cast, resisted loads of them anyway. Shifted to heal a couple of times just in case but he was hitting for 150 so wasn't exactly necessary.

Commento di 58128

that, was the single hardest fight I have ever attempted. For the record. a 70 Prot paladin CAN solo him. All I used were 2 mana potions and one of the healing items out of the ogri'la area. The key is basically just keep your seal of wisdom/ judgement of wisdom up on him at all times. Don't use any mana you do not have to. it will be all saved for healing. When he does his lightening attack, strafe backwards. All your damage is from Holy shield.

Be prepared for a very long fight. You will drop both of your invul bubbles at least twice, you will use LOH. The good news is, that he can be stuned, so Hammer whenever you can (if possible save for when he does his lightening) and heal while he is stunned. It took me 3 tries, trading attempts with an alliance group that kept getting shredded... Got the Sorcerer cloak. Fun times :)

Commento di 52070

Kited this guy to Swamprat Post, killed by guards, sadly... cant loot

Commento di Lausten

We managed to 2 man him, 70 paladin tanking, full Justicar set, and me pre kara gear, with 2 items from Spellfire set, killed him, dropped of the bandit. 16agi 24 stam 32 ap.
Havent sold yet. Hope to do soon.

Commento di Shiro

Anyone have a definite idea on what the respawn time is on this guy?

Commento di Piroko

I kited him to Cenarion Refuge in Zangar, used my pet with intimidation to stun him if he got too close or went magnetic pull on me.

He raped my pet, I feigned and started killing the Warden's @ CF. I just went beserk with trinkets and damage and got the loot in the end. "of the Falcon" cape.

Fun guy, decent drops.

just killed him with a group of 5 (warlock, 2 enhance shamans, a warrior tank and paladin healer)

he was cake with 5, but he hits for almost 1K on cloth

edit: he dropped an of the owl cloak

Commento di 70946

Took him down with a 70 holy paladin and a 70 frost mage. The paladin judged him with Wisdom and kept a Seal of Wisdom on himself to keep mana up and just sat hitting the mob and healing himself. The mage threw frost bolts until he finally went down. Brute force and mana heavy (neither of us had more than 15% mana left at the end), but it worked. He dropped Striderhide Cloak of the Elder.

Commento di Dunbana

lvl 70 warrior and priest, 2 63 locks, 1 afflic, 1 demon, and a hunter took him down

he droped the cloak of the whale

Commento di severity

took him down as as a 70 prot pally with a 70 ret pally droped the of the bear version thought fight

Commento di Virus

Soloable as restor shaman with 1.1r healing. Stoneskin totem and water shield are enough to keep you alive. But killing him would take me very long if 63 lvl hunter didnt help me when strider was at 60%

Commento di 106642

In between Telredor and the Dead Mire, just shy of Blade's Edge, Marticar was downed by a 70 warrior, 61 rogue, and 63 Holy pally. (I did not pay attention to my coordinates, so I cannot give you an exact location. :[ )

Coming in to help a random group as a healer, I was not expecting the amount of damage dealt by Marticar. He definitely hits hard, put the rogue out of business not far into the fight. (I was not fast enough to heal him, thinking Morticar would be easy. x_x )

Lightning Tether is constantly used, and I did not have to heal myself, so it was easy to focus on the warrior and rogue, after the rogue ran back from the graveyard.

Marticar ended up dropping the Striderhide Cloak of Intellect with +31 INT. I was expecting nothing from this down, just helping out some people, and I ended up with a new cloak.

Commento di animadafemme

a level 70 rogue (me), 70 holy pally, 63 holy pally, and a 64 hunter...

i tanked. ;)

dropped the +44 nature damage one.

Commento di 80523

My 63 S Priest along with my 62 Demo lock friend thought we were clever and decided to duet it. Needless to say, it pwned us both.

So I logged on to my main, a fire mage in Kara/Gruul's gear and tried it again with my lock friend. Pwned us again.

So he logged onto his main, a resto druid. We tried again - didn't even bother to kite or avoid lightning tether, just burnt the shit out of it and healed through it, with my druid friend interrupting with bear whenever he could. I finished with 10% mana, and my friend with 2%, having used 1 pot. Got a shit +44 fire damage cape. Considering that he has about double the health of level 70 elite mobs in heroics, I wouldn't even recommend fighting him at all.

Commento di 74227

Solo'd as a hunter... he casts a sort of grappling hook lightning bolt spell to pull you back from kiting, so drop some snake traps as you're kiting him because he uses it on a random target, which could be any of the snakes or your normal pet. If he lands the hook on you, sometimes you can still keep running before he gets a melee hit off to daze you. If he does daze you, just FD him to your pet, mend pet, and take off kiting again... don't use growl or else it'll be hard to get aggro back from your pet.

Commento di 10574

Killed with level 70 tank and shadow priest.

Commento di 50768

Solo'd this guy several times on my feral druid. Need to be a high armor class with an interrupt, kiting is not advisable. I'm geared to tank kara and he still proves difficult, used a mana pot due to the healing required but definitely possible. Too bad the loot always ends up being Whale gear ><

Commento di Teke

I was able to solo this guy on my prot warrior in t4/t5 mix. As the above have said I saw 63 elite and swooped in thinking it was no big deal. I got him down to about 50% before I died. Determined I went back and tried again....got him down to around 30-35% before I gave up and managed to kite him away til he deagro'd with about 1000 health on me left. Third and final try I potted up fortitude and mastery, ate some stam food, made sure I was in my max avoidance gear, started drinking health pots as soon as I lost my first 2k health and used concussive blow everytime my recently bandaged debuff wore off. I tried to make sure I maintained around 30-35 rage so my spell reflect and shield bash were always able to be used. He does hit really fast so I made sure I used Figurine of the Colossus when it was up which would heal me for about 1k and also used Argussian Compass along with Fel Blossoms. I did have to use shield wall+last stand/nightmare seed right at the end because it was getting too close, but I managed to down him. All that effort rewarded me with a Striderhide Cloak of Spirit......................I laughed.

Commento di 18642

he's really easy, me (resto druid, t4) and a rogue (daggers, full v.glads.) killed him and he dropped a cloak of the bandit. caching$

Soloed as a level 70 prot pally with mostly blues. Holy shield and seal/judgement of wisdom makes the fight easy. Just very long >.<

Commento di 124472

Soloed it as a resto t4 druid. took 6-7 mins and 2 pots.
The last 1 min i was keeping my self at 1100 hp with lifebloom with 0 mana . Droped a cloack with 20 agi and 31 stamina :)

Commento di 126056

Easy soloable as a (decent geared) protection warrior. Takes some time though. Just make sure to interrupt his beams.

Commento di 129567

Me, on my 63 mage and my 70 hunter friend downed him pretty easily. He has a lot of life and hit's hard.

He dropped Sunstrider Cloak of the Invoker
+16 int
+16 Spell crit
+16 spell damage

Commento di 74836

After 2 close ones, Me a 70 Prot Warrior in non raid gear, and my son a 61 Hunter in questing greens and blues took him down, this guy is tough but could be soloed by a prot warrior in good gear, just interupt with what you can when you can and tank him down. Dropped +62 attack power which my son loved.

Commento di 130156

Soloed this with me(rogue) and a warrior, I had broken helmet and leggings and the rest of my gear was yellow...not that it matters... anyway he went down and dropped Striderhide Cloak of Fire Protection, 31stam and 20 fire res...

Commento di 127503

Ouch!

I was playing a level 63 hunter on my first trip through Outland. Since hunters practically can solo the gates of hell I though 'let's have some of this then!'.

Bad idea, my pet's health dropped faster than a cast bar :(

You'd think I would have learnt from trying to 2-man king mosh at lvl 50 that big beastie relites aren't normally soloable :/

Commento di 40711

70 lock and 70 shadowpriest. dropped Frost Resist.

Commento di Grizlor

Was running my 63 warrior through zangar doing quests, and I saw this guy hobbling around. Suddenly, a 70 warrior charged him from mid-air from his netherdrake, only to die before he got the mob to 80%, haha. I logged in my resto shaman and soloed it easily. Interrupt the lightning thing, keep earth shield up, keep chipping away at him with flametongue melee.

Commento di karti

He stopped using his lightning attack after 2 times - maybe because of my position:
i was in melee range, but he was on a hill, i was lower - can anyone confirm this to be the reason?

can be soloed by holy pala - I had
18k armor,
9,5k mana ; 1750 +heal ; 165 mp5 with blessing

absolutely no problem at any time, no pots, no shields.
fight took a little longer than 10 minutes.

edit: can upload a pic of how we stood if you wish

Commento di 138076

I have soloed Marticar twice with my lvl 70 prot pally after he took my lunch money several times. Even had to also deal with one of the basilisks in the second successful fight.

Both were long fights on the order of 5 minutes and I had to LOH near the end. A healer would have made it much easier but no much shorter.

The key observation I had was that Marticar does not use his AOE until after you have used one. In both successful fights, I didn't AOE at all and neither did Marticar.

Commento di 138095

Easily soloable by a 70 combat rogue. I just used evasion and didn't go below 50% hp.

Commento di 138841

Can be solo kited to the Harborage easily enough. But as a 70 resto shaman, I couldn't do enough damage to get credit for the kill. Bah!

Commento di 56506

My alt 62 warrior was eaten alive.

Then a 63 rogue came to help. After a death or two, I blew recklessness, deathwish, potted with a super health pot and we got him down like 5% on our last try. Not down to 5%. Take note.

Ow, ow.

Save us, 2.4.

Commento di 175031

Ok... since the patch... the npc Marticar has been easier to defeat. It is no longer a Rare Elite. It is just a rare. I ran into him about 5 minutes ago and I am a 63 feral druid and was able to solo him. I did get that nice cloak but i cant use it yet :( Also... This thing was pretty tough... took a good 4 minutes to take him out. I even had to heal myself. Blizzard has made a lot of elites no longer elite and I don't know why. Only thing I do know is it is no longer an elite and no longer needs to be 3 manned.

He got nerfed (he was extremely hard before 2.4) so thats why you could kill him solo :)

Ran in to him today by accident, killed him with ease (since he got nerfed) and he dropped Striderhide Cloak of the Owl (20 int. 20 spi.).

Commento di 81112

Marticar is no longer an elite, so he is now very easily soloable by any class - and pretty much any spec :)

Commento di Neonexus

Killed this guy a while ago with a guildie (Two 70 hunters with outland blues and greens) finished the fight with 2 dead pets 1 dead hunter and the other with around 50% hp left after drinking a potion. His casts are what took us out, we had no idea what attacks he did untill he zapped a pet into dust. After that we then rotated on feign death and misdirection.

(This was a few weeks before his nerf)

Commento di 61292

As of 10/28/08, it seems this guy was nerfed more. Perhaps in the "everything that used to be hard is now easy"-patch.

Just soloed him very easily as a 68 feral druid. Dropped a blue 64 cloak.

Commento di 269575

Now you can just solo him, I did manage to find him unexpectedly with my priest (holy) and killed him, he is like a non-elite now ;)

Kited him while keeping quite close, took him like this to 7K HP and used Feign Death leting my pet Tank&Spank until 2k when he lost aggro and Marticar came on me. Activated Detterence and wished i can kill him until the effect wears out.

Dropped a Striderhide Cloak of the Beast. Quite usefull to me because i am a Hunter ^^

It also dropped "... of the Falcon" for me - 20 agi and 20 int

Happy hunting :)

Commento di CzechMirco

Apart from glowing bright violet, he is also considerably taller than ordinary Fen Striders (I estimate him being one and half of their height).

Commento di kurtiffrig

Marticar was one of the last two creatures I needed for the Bloody Rare achievement. Ironically I found the other (Bog Lurker) less than 30 seconds after I killed him. This suggests to me that both spawn at about the same time. Found Marticar just north of the west side of Serpent Lake and Bog Lurker just east of the three teepee symbols by the Ango'rosh Grounds. I doubt that my spawn time will help anybody, but it was approximately 7am Pacific Time (U.S) or 9am server time.

Woooot, after nearly a year of searching I've finally completed Bloody Rare, now on to Frostbitten.

Commento di JupeDanger

Just killed him with my shaman, near The Dead Mire, coords: 77,52.

Easy to solo, he dropped Striderhide Cloak of Strength.

Commento di 386711

Got Marticar today on Nathrezim (US). It was on the western side of the Portal Clearing archway, west shore of Marshlight Lake. Dropped the Striderhide Cloak. Approx. 18:45 server time.

Yay! Medium Rare - done. Now to get all the rest of them for Bloody Rare, lol.

Commento di Thottbot

I saw this guy when i was alone on the first day of BC. I figured he was easy pickins, so i went up and gave him a cheap shot. When he came out of it, i was able to get 2 more sinister strikes off before he handed me my azz. On level 60 rogues in blues and a couple purples, he does 750 DMG every hit...and he swings pretty fast. He hit me 6 times in the time it took me to spam 2 sinister strikes. I found him again later that day and had 2 all-epic'ed friends with me. Still no go. He has a TON of life, and he'll still hit the tank for a decent chunk. We had a tank, shammy, and me a rogue. Looks like he takes a 4-man in all epics or 5-man with whatever. Maybe the right 3-man can do something about it.

Here's 2 shots of him:
Marticar 1
Marticar 2

Commento di Thottbot

80000 hp, hits for 800 on cloth, immune to fear. Tore through my VW before I could get him to 90%. I'd say not soloable unless you manage to kite him somehow.

Killed him with a 5-man group later, dropped a blue cloak with +20 int +20 str.

Commento di Thottbot

Just killed this guy on Whisperwind with a 64 Priest, 62 Warlock, 64 Paladin and 63 Warrior. It took a while to DPS him down since he has about 90k HP. He dropped the cloak of the bear (20str 20sta). Pretty easy fight though

Commento di Thottbot

3-Man, All lvl 63. Combat Rogue, Fury Warrior DWing, and Resto Shaman.

First time we saw him thought it was a simple kill, and easy loot. We obviously dropped like flies. The next time we charged him w/ a little bit of a plan, and got him to under 2% HP. At that point, it became a personal fight. So we found him again, prepped ourselves, checked for adds and then dropped him in a couple minutes. No casualties, no screaming for heals, and a nice blue to show for it. 3-manable, but recommended for a 4 or 5 man party. Enjoy!

Commento di Thottbot

He's a large pink colored fen strider that pats at the upper west portion of the map. Impossible to solo and a difficult kite for horde (he passes right by alliance base) because of his magnetic pull ability. Downed him with 4 people, mage, hunter (me), priest, and warrior. Dropped a blue cloak with stam, stremgth and agility and warrior won it. Easy fiight, just make sure you have enough people.

Commento di Thottbot

66 Shadow priest as a tank&dps; with 66 Pala as a healer and 62 mage and rogue for more dps
and the clock goes to our rogue
Movie:
Marticar tanked by priest

Commento di Thottbot

We killed him in lighting's blade... I dunno but I found it impossible to solo him so I called my house mate to help me kill him with his 70 hunter.

He hits for 300-350 while in bear form and then he does a special attack that pulls you in that hits for 1k+... Anyway hunter sent his pet in and I healed the pet while the hunter basically got him down. Easy fight with a hunter and a druid.

I ran into him today with my 66 paladin. I just managed to get away alive with my shield and a potion. This guy HITS HARD!
Then when I tried to get a group together the horde went for him with a 5 man party...

Commento di Thottbot

I followed Marticar and this is where he patrolled (he may spawn in different parts, in which case I don't know those paths).

http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/5612/marticarpatbp6.png

Update: I was working on his second path, but it was cut short by my eager group. :D The bottom where I am standing is where he turned around, so the top part I don't know.

Easily took him down with a 70 priest, 70 warrior and 66 mage

Commento di Thottbot

a level 65 druid a 70 rogue and 65 rogue downed him got a lvl 64 cloak with 31+ str

Commento di Thottbot

Noticed him just earlier today. He was wandering near the Dead Mire and I just gave it a try with my Pally. I already knew he isn't soloable so I tried to kite him (as a Pally lol) to Cenarius Refuge, to my own surprise I actually made it. Had to stun him twice, heal a lot and bubbled once on my way to the guards. Took me like 5 mins and he actually dropped a quite nice Back..

Striderhide Cloak of the Bandit
+16 Agility
+24 Stamina
+32 Attack Power

Gonna put +12 Agility on it and probably sell it..

Commento di Thottbot

lol it was kinda funny when i first saw this guy im like " WOOT my first rare monster in outlands. So i figure gona be ez.... well as a 63 frost mage, i casted frostbolt and i was utterly disapointed when i saw that my regualar 900-1000 dmg frostbolt hit him and his healthbar didnt change... 1 second later he performed a move called "pull" or something and hit me for like 2k crit and another 2k and im dead.... very interesting i said.... well i had a full group ready for underbog and i wondered if we coould take him but no1 wanted to bother.... so i told one of my 70 friends and he and sum other guy took him down and he droped that cloak with only +31 spirit.... ^^

Commento di Thottbot

Pulld him to the guards in swamprat post and let them kill him lol easy azz hell :) am a lvl 63 hunter

Commento di Thottbot

LvL 70 druid, long solo, little over 5min
He had about 83k hp, and did 49k damage to me!
Fun though, not immune to stun.

Commento di Thottbot

he handed my ass to me on a pink platter(63enha sham) in didnt even get him down 1%

Commento di Thottbot

This thing handed me my ass in 5 seconds flat. (64 rogue). Got a hunter and a warrior of similar levels, and went after it again. It then proceded to hand ALL of us our asses in about 20 seconds. Got another hunter and a 70 mage and went back a third time. He killed 2 of us but we finally took him down. He dropped the cloak. (forget which variety)

Commento di Thottbot

DO NOT KITE HIM >.<

+44 Nature damage

Commento di Thottbot

I just ran into this named while using my warrior to help quest with my priest. Never heard of it before, and since I solo'd the other named of this type for the cenarion quest with my warrior, I thought it would be easy. So I charged wearing my dps gear (67 fury warrior with Thunderfury) Needless to say I died pretty quickly even with spamming greater heals. This thing isn't your average silver dragon rare that most classes can solo.

So I switched to tanking gears, found it again and started the most intense fight I've ever duo boxed. Very close, but very fun fight, straight up tank and spank (except my warrior was also doing the spanking). My 62 shadow priest used 2 major mana pots and and a demonic rune and was almost oom by the end.

Dropped the Striderhide Cloak of Frost Protection, which was actually an upgrade for my tank set (Dragon's Blood Cape)

Commento di Thottbot

Spotted this bad boy on the northern patrol while killing Bogflare Needlers on my 64 rogue. I got him down about 1.5% before I realized he was a rare elite, then hastily vanished, logged over and got on my main.

Soloed today as a 70 Holy paladin, in mostly epic healing plate with the spell dmg shield off Nightbane. Concentration Aura, Improved Righteous Fury, Blessing of Kings, although in hindsight Wisdom would have been better. This is definitely an endurance battle for a healadin. I threw Judgment of Wisdom on him to help my mana situation, as I was flash-healing myself every couple seconds. He does the Forked Lightning ability that other spore walkers have, but with ramped up damage, so I had to throw out many Holy Lights as well.

Magnetic Pull is kind of a nonissue as a paladin, because you generally never move the whole fight. Majority of damage was done via Consecrate and whacks with damage seals, alternating with mana/health as I had opportunity. At 50% he starts doing some sort of Starfire ability that lasts only a few seconds and does negligible damage. At 20% he summons treants and his damage ups further. The treants are more annoying than anything else and die to a few pulses of Consecrate.

Was about a five-minute battle all told; I bubbled once, used Divine Illumination and pots twice each, and burned LOH when he got in a lucky crit on Forked Lightning. All in all not the hardest thing I've ever soloed.

Dropped Striderhide Cloak of Agility, 31 agility! Nice upgrade for my rogue.

Commento di Thottbot

Im a lvl 61 arms warrior with 5217 armour and i soloed. died the first time but 2nd try i used intercept, then gained a lil bit of rage and then hit recklessness. I non stop crit hit him and killed him, with about 4% hp left, then to be killed by another monster. Dropped (Striderhide cloak of the beast) +24 stamina +14 agility +14 strength. I would recomend 2 people to kill him, was not easy.

Commento di Thottbot

I killed this badboy near the outskirts of Swamprat Post (Horde Base) as a level 63 Orc Rogue.

He got me down to about 15% in health (another fen strider that was in the area, aggroed, and got in on the action so after I downed the rare I vanished and sent the other fen strider running and scratching his head wondering where I had taken off to. heh.)

Anyways he dropped:

Striderhide Cloak of the Sorceror
66 Armor
+24 Stamina
+16 Intellect
+19 Spell Power
Requires Level 64

Should make for some nice extra cash form the Auction House.

His approximate location was at /mntloc 74,51

Also revealed the achievement called "Medium Rare" for me. Achievement info can be found here: https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/ach1311

Commento di Thottbot

i seemed to manage perfectly easily with a lvl 64 holy priest, just drop a lightwell and most mobs become extremely easier as i spammed holy fire and smite.

Commento di Thottbot

soloed easy as a 61 DK must of nerfed him

Commento di Thottbot

Soloed him as a 66 Enhancement Shaman. Piece of cake.

Commento di Thottbot

This creature has been nerfed down to about 13K of health (rare elite). I solo'd him as a level 60 lock and let my felguard tear him up while I kept him healed up. It didn't take more than a minute or two tops. Easy loot.

Commento di Thottbot

How often does he respawn? Does anyone know? I have been looking and haven't seen him yet.

Commento di Thottbot

Found him just east of the Harbor and North of the drain going to the Coilfang Resivoir. Ran right into him as he walked east from the harbor in the water between the lake and the mountains. He was super easy for a 65 fire mage with ok gear. No kiting necessary and he didn't hit that hard at all. fireball from range, living bomb, frost nova when in range, fireball until dead (can't remember if pyroblast popped). He didn't drop anything spectacular for me, so into the AH it went.

Commento di Thottbot

I did him solo w/ my pet at lvl 66... not that hard. :)

Commento di Thottbot

Actually Now hes only a regular lvl 63 and only has 11k hp...

My 63 shammy killed him easy.
he dropped a blue item but nothing special, and you get the aceivment "Medium Rare".

I found him just above Sporeggar.

Commento di Thottbot

Get the "target rares" macro created. Fly your bird around the outer perimeter of the NE crescent of Zangarmarsh. If he's not spawned, go on a Strider/Walker/Lurker hunt. Kill any of them you find, and eventually, sooner rather than later hopefully, he'll spawn.

Commento di Allakhazam

I spotted this guy at 8:50 a.m. CST, 10 minutes before I had to head to work. He was patrolling north of Serpent Lake. He hits like a Mack Truck, so don't try to take him on alone. I tried to kite him to the guards at Orebor Harborage but he does some kind of pull back spell. Plus I'm not the best kiter in the world. He's Immune to Concussive Shot too. Needless to say my pet and I didn't last very long. He had 57,900 health, give or take, from what MobHealth showed. You should definitely try to get a tank and healer if you plan to take him on.

Commento di Allakhazam

70 demonology lock solo with felguard curse of weakness corruption lots of healing , 3 bandades a HS and most importantly KTM.

Commento di Allakhazam

ya i saw this guy around and im sittin here thinkin man im lucky a rare spawn not knowing that this guy is bad ass i fight him for 2 seconds and i look at health 40% im like oh f*** put on shield and try to haul ass but he has a freakin magnetic pull ability last time i tried him (warrior 65)

Commento di Allakhazam

It took 62 hunter, 61 warrior, 64 priest, 62 mage to kill him. My pet tanked and it took about a minute and fifteen seconds to dps him down. Not difficult if aggro and heals are focused on one target, but you definitely need a healer.

Dropped Striderhide Cloak of the Bandit. Hot.

Commento di Allakhazam

Patch 2.4:

Outland Rare Spawn

* The following creatures have had their hit points and damage significantly reduced: Collidus the Warp-Watcher, Fulgorge, Hemathion, Kraator, Marticar, Morcrush, and Nuramoc

Fun's over, guys.

Commento di Allakhazam

Spotted again last night, Myself (lvl 70 marks hunter) and four lvl 63s (prot warrior, feral druid, enhance shaman and holy pally) downed him again in about three or four minutes. The biggest problem for a low level group is getting aggro from nearby monsters. The second biggest problem is how many people instinctivly try to rush in and melee Marticar. The chain lightning effect really pulls a lot of HP off anyone in range, but he was eventually killed when the warrior tanked and everyone else stood back and healed and did ranged damage.

Dropped 'Of Agility', +31 agility. The enhance Shammie went crazy over it :p

Commento di Allakhazam

70 demo warlock and 70 pally barely took this guy down. Horrible. And we got...Striderhide Cloak of Arcane Protection. Lame.

Commento di Allakhazam

For a level 63 elite, this guy is mean. Not easily soloable. Dropped fire resist cloak.

Commento di Allakhazam

63 prot pally, 63 disc/holy priest took this d-bag down in a 10min battle of doom, used 3 mana pots and ate my buffs twice..if i didnt have great mana regen my tank woulda died...oh yeah he had to heal himself like 3 times, and used LoH...lol marticar is a tough SOB

Dropped the defense one +31 but yeah he is not like a normal rare so i took him over to cenarion refuge and he killed one of the guards before he died.

Commento di Allakhazam

She's a hard one to take down. Tried it twice once at half health/mana with my husband both ret pallies; 66 and 67. Even with 2 stuns we couldn't interrupt her enough and obviously my heals lack. After the second time I saw that she was walking past oberage (sp) and we kited her ... from there it was cake. The gaurds took her out essentially for us. However... there's some guy on my server that insists that as a warr he was able to take her out at 61 by himself and that all it took was pummel every ten seconds... although he did have to bandage :P... for some reason I feel that he's full of poo.

Commento di Allakhazam

I kited this guy as druid to the guards in orebor but didn't get to loot him since I didn't get the killing blow -_-

Commento di Allakhazam

Killed it in a group of four, level 64 shadow priest, 63 lock with voidwalker, 64 rogue (me) and a 64 warrior. We got owned when we tried without the tank, but with the tank we did fine. We kicked it and such to keep it from using its 1k hit spell. No direct heals were needed. We got ~ of the physician. Our priest was pretty happy.

As the healer (64 shadowpriest) i came along this while heading to cfr, he was right off the coast of serpent lake to the west. i was like 'oh look a rare i wanna kill it' not realizing it was elite...much less a boss. it dominated me, to say the least. so i got the rest of my group over there, a 70 shammy and 2 63 hunters. we barely made it, i had ran out of mana and the shammy was doing its best to heal itself while it held aggro...the hunters managed to finish it off. dropped cloak of the invoker, +16 intellect +19 spell damage and healing +16 spell crit rating. boy, was i happy.

Commento di Allakhazam

Pretty easy for Level 70 prot warrior and ele/resto shammy dropedd cloak of stamina +45 :)

Commento di Allakhazam

I just soloed him with my 64 priest. Good thing I killed him before reading the post here or I may not have tried.They must have reduced his difficulty? I did have to recast power word shield a couple of times to absorb most of the damage, but dots, holy fire and my wand did the trick.
Dropped a real nice cloak.

Commento di Allakhazam

Me and my Gf just took this Cutie down :)

62 Rare Elite "boss" ... me 65 Warrior and her 66 Druid (Balance so not even healer)

Took just under 4 minutes, almost hade lifepot ready a second time but didnt need it, she just ran out of mana when i landed the finishing execute.

Dropped the cloak of The prophet (spell crit and stuff)

Realy a easy boss IF u just stop those nasty electrifying stuff, they did pack a BUNCH!

Commento di Allakhazam

Immune to fear. I learned the hard way. =(

Commento di Allakhazam

Tried him solo as 70 (affliction) lock and got pwned. Got a 70 warrior to tank and a 61 pala to heal. The pala ran out of mana and the tank died just as shadow trance procced and my final SB killed it ;)
Dropped of ...of the wolf (?) cloak with +20Agility/+20Spirit

found him when lvling my warrior, thought what the heck a rare and i had recklessness up. I lasted like 15sec =/ So i thought finnaly a rare that my pvp druid will have a fun challenge. First attempt he owned me, second attempt with some pots, about 13k hps with 24k armor and +400 to healing. Got him but it was relly relly close fight. Got cloak of prophet. nice +healing and stats. will give me 150-200g's on ah =)

Commento di Allakhazam

I (lvl70 orc hunter) just ran into this heavenly white (kinda) looking walker and saw it was ONLY lvl63 elite rare , piece of cake I was thinking with my lvl69 boar with over 11k armor and around 6.5k health. Boy was I wrong :/!
My boar died faster then Obelix could possibly eat 1 and I nearly escaped using FD. I pulled it towards sporegar the second try and was lucky the guards aggroed on it just at the second I died , lucky for me the graveyard is right next to sporegar and I started nuking it as soon as I ressed , and doing the killing blow I was able to loot it and got ~ of the wolf. Just shows rare ( elite ) mobs realy got buffed up in outland.

Commento di Allakhazam

Killed him on second try with myself (70 demo lock) and 64 ele shaman, with the shammy healing my felguard and me sitting back and dotting. Anything other than dots would pull him off my felguard to me resulting in painful death, but we had no troubles with the above method, just took a bit. Dropped ..of the Bandit with agi, stam, and AP, nice for my rogue alt.

Commento di Allakhazam

as of patch 2.1 he had 78k hp and did about 350 dmg on plate (70 warrior with about 10k armor with shield). Definitely needed a healer for this. Paladinz got it easy :P -- egads, 12 min fight tho? lol

Commento di Allakhazam

Spawned near the Dead Mire. Our group of 62 rogue (me), 63 mage, 63 warr and 63 hunter was pwnt three times by this bad boy. Finally we enlisted the help of a 63 holy paladin who healed us while we burnt it down. Dropped cloak "of the boar." Definitely MUCH tougher and hits much harder than your typical 63 elite.

Commento di Allakhazam

Yea, definately got nerfed, beat him with lvl 63 BM hunter, even with an add half way through.
Still worth it, got ...of the elder
^.^

Commento di Allakhazam

That's on the other side of the map entirely from the "seen here" graph above. Likely rare-spawns on any Marsh Stalker, so kill those if you want to try to spawn it.

Commento di Allakhazam

My hubbie (70 prot war) and I (62 holy priest) were able to down him on our own in ~4 mins. Dropped "of the Falcon" (+20 ag/int).

Commento di Allakhazam

He's tough. Feral druid, Shadow priest, and Holy paladin (all 65-66) found him a challenge. I suggest that if you're not the one tanking him, you ought to stay at maximum range for healing/DPSing or his lash attack will drop all of you faster than your healer can keep everyone alive.

He can move along pretty quickly before you aggro him, making it somewhat difficult to isolate him from all the other mobs swirling about in his vicinity. Have a plan for coping when a marshfang slicer or a non-elite bogstrider finds you in its path while you're trying to bring down Marticar.

On the bright side, it was good practice for our little PUG to get to know each other before clearing Mana Tombs.

Commento di Allakhazam

I know I'm going to get dozens of people saying that I'm BS'ing, but before I even read any of this, I saw the beast and solo'd him. I"m only a lvl 64 affliction lock. I had to use my healthstone and one mana pot, but my VW made it and I made it, though admittedly just barely. Maybe he's been nerfed since 2.4. I don't know

Commento di Allakhazam

we 6 manned it today with 2 pallys, 2 hunters, a warrior and a mage... all lvl 62-63.

Commento di Allakhazam

pulled him to spore city,guards wont help you if you are not friendly,had a friend who was friendly ,was kinda nice ,got the nice healing cloak as drop

Killed this with myself lvl 70 bear form feral druid; 70 lock and 70 shaman. Dropped

Striderhide cloak of shadow wrath
+44 to shadow damage

It has a random property, we just got the shadow wrath one. Fellow guildie got it, the shaman :D

Lvl 63 elite rare spawn with around 83k hitpoints. Easy at lvl 70. Cant be solo'd but maybe 2 man'd if u have a tank + healer, but 3 is easy to get.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just killed him on my own (70 Heal-Shammy) Looong fight, two manapots, two mana tides totems, 6 earthshield renewals and one fire-elemental later he finally died, jesus, what a 63 elite is that, one of the hardes solo fights i ever had, dropped the falcon cloak...

Edited, Aug 19th 2007 7:18:38am by Illiantila

Commento di Allakhazam

Took him down as a level 70 pally, with the aid of a 70 druid and still he put up a good long fight. Striderhide Cloak of the Tiger: 66 Armor, +20 Agility, +20 Strength. Not bad.

Commento di Allakhazam

Don't attempt to solo this thing unless you're a decently geared lvl 70.

A couple of friends went in the channel, "oh look, a rare elite!"
A couple of seconds later they were both dead. I started laughing at them and took the taxi to Zangarmash where I went "jesus christ it's only 63, hahaha. Oh my God, you guys are ridiculous. Alright, I'll solo it."

It made me eat my words rather quickly.

"I see now why you guys got your asses handed to you."

They were 64 and 65 affliction lock and fury warrior respectively. I'm a 67 SPriest. We tried it again, all three of us this time, and got an add. (All of us were DPS'ing, BTW). We got raped again.

I couldn't believe it. Saying this mob is a level 63 elite is nothing short of a bad joke. It hits as hard as a level 67 elite and that channeled spell it has makes it WAY harder than a 67 elite. I told everyone to just tank/DPS, threw VT and SW:P on it and then healed the rest of the fight (popped Shadowfiend at 30%).

It was no biggie after I decided to heal, but man, this is a fun kill! I highly recommend getting a small party of 3 or maybe 4 players together if you spot this guy in Zangarmarsh. Just make sure you get a healer (even a $%^&ty shadow priest like me could outheal his lightning thing no problem so finding a healer shouldn't be hard) and then you're good to go.

For the record, he dropped ...of Strength. Slight letdown, but it was really fun nonetheless. He's about as hard as a boss in Ramparts or BF, so keep that in mind as you engage him.

Commento di Allakhazam

I have just killed it in a party of 2 (paladin + warrior). First attempt i was in DPS gear and we kinda wiped, then i put on my healing gear. It took quite a long time, i was using Seal of Wisdom for mana regen and warrior in tanking gear, but it was easy. Dropped a gorrila cloak 20 str 20 intellect.. i guess it was bad luck.

Commento di Allakhazam

Has crazy DPS Kited him to the Sporeggar and he pretty much PWND the guards, Finally manage to kill him and he dropped "of the Bandit" cloak +16 agi +25 sta +32 ap Dam IMBA cloak for a lvl64 BoE Blue =D

Commento di Allakhazam

After a death by trying to solo him. I didnt realize how hard he was when i first saw him. I got a guildie priest to come heal me (65 druid) and we kited him to the guards. Droped the"of the whale one" Neither of us need it so its going to AH and we're splitting the profits.

ADVICE: 2 can take him 64-65 ish. But you need decent tank & good healer. This guy hits HARD. If you can kite him to the guards, they will do the rest.

A group is advisable though. Get a tank, healer and good dps and you got him.

GL anyone who takes this guy :)

Soloed him as a lvl 70 Warlock (30/0/31) with voidwalker.
Just let the voidwalker tank him with curse of weakness and Siphon Life on and heal him with health funnel.
Use both threat spells of your voidwalker until he's oom without pulling aggro off him (Had KTM running), then soulshatter.
Put up more dots while still health funneling the walker until Marticar dies.
Used one bandage and a healthstone in the process in order to replenish my own health some more.

Dropped the +33 spirit version of the cloak.

Always glad to see random mobs wandering around that will just destroy everyone wandering by, there's something fun about it. I wish there were more.

Killed him with 70 rogue and druid. He doesnt seem to do much damage so the rouge could easily tank him with healing from druid.

Dropped ..Of the Monkey cloak, 20 agi 31 sta.

Well, no patch for us yet.
This morning my Lvl 70 Warlock tried him (it?).
Bastage ate my Felguard before I knew what happened, I died soon after.
Reviewing dmg:
I took 775, 863 and 674 hit, my DOT hit Marticar, rinse repeat (but not for long).

Got a 70 Kara-geared druid to help heal, but with similar results.
Changed to my 70 tank-adin and like others mentioned, we finally won.
Cloak was "of the Elder" so we greed rolled for it.

Soloed as Lv70 Blood Elf Paladin on Cho'Gal. Fight lasted 12 minutes. 44 Holy 17 Protection, Improved Righteous Fury, Concentration aura and Improved Blessing of Wisdom. Spamming Concecration(rank1) Seal and Judgement of Wisdom activated. This mob is stunnable and it's Teser attack can be silenced with the Racial Blood Elves Ability. Bubble on Teser + Heavy Netherweave Bangage or Stun to cancel the Teaser + Heavy Netherweave Bandage. When both are on cooldown, Arcane Torrent. Rince repeat. I was in Shockadin gears at this moment: +620 Holy Spell Damage and +639 Healing , 374 Defence 11094 Armor. The concentration aura is very important to not delay any heal that could save your life. Poped 1 Super Mana Potion for this fight also in case but I never ended below 30%ish mana.

The bad new is it dropped 66 armor, 20 spirit and 31 stamina. The good new is I got a big big ...

lol....kited him to the nearest town, had guards help, 70 and 63 hunter....it worked nice

Commento di Allakhazam

Justed lured him to the nearest town and let towners take care of him ... 70 hunter

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm a 61 hunter, spotted him as i was going to town...Kited him to Telredor, i took maybe about 2k health from him using arcane shot to kite him, i let the guards take care of the rest...he dropped nothing. and, HE KILLED ME 3times in the process of that! lol

Commento di Allakhazam

Ran into him near obrebor harbor (spelling?) ......so threw down a few blows as a 64 warrior and kited him into the guards and took him down with the guards. No lot though? Maybe blizzard fixed it so you can't kite him anymore? I made sure I threw down the first blow and kept putting down blows the entire fight?

Commento di Allakhazam

level 63 my ass.

Commento di Allakhazam

i found this dude around the lake so i give i a shot at it
i get own so fast. It a Rare Elite.

Commento di Allakhazam

70 warlock, 70 warrior, and 64 priest. took us about 3 minutes, was fairly easy, no one got below 50% mana or hp.

Dropped:
Striderhide Cloak of Arcane Wrath
+44 Arcane Damage

Commento di Allakhazam

I saw a lvl 67 warrior and 66 shaman try to 2man it and they wiped. then i got a group of 2 lvl 62 mages, a 62 hunter 63 war and 63 priest and we did it fine. he is a rare elite and has about 83k life. he does this move where it draws his target straight to him with one of his tentacles and he hits for about 1k with his lightning move. we killed him and he dropped Striderhide Cloak of Power it has 64 AP.

Commento di Allakhazam

I can confirm that the guards will attack him. PErsonally grouped with a lock (mage myself) sent in his void, threw a DoT on him, then ran like hell- when the void was at 5% he sacced it for the shield. The guards saw it, took aggro and we got a nice cloak.

Regarding solo-kiting, it's hard, he is immune to snares, so for a mage I'd suggest a ranged fireball, mana shield and then run like hell, keeping aggro with fireblast and recasting manashield to stay alive. Just pray you'll make it :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Wasn't aware a 63 Rare required a raid in order to kill it -.-

Commento di Allakhazam

Really easy with 70 Paladin, 70 Druid and 67 Fury Warrior, but disappointing loot for a rare elite mob. Took 3 minutes here. As 67 Warrior I was able to get 20% of his damage of in 20 seconds (with retaliation and Death Wish) but that was really not enough to beat him. It's possible to beat him with 2 people but it is taking a while than.

Commento di Allakhazam

i downed him with my hunter lvl 69. took like 45 sec to down him, easy as hell!

Commento di Allakhazam

I was riding cheerfully across the fen (level 61) when suddenly I was surrounded by a bright light and this thing had pulled me right underneath its legs, firing its tentacle electroburst thingie and lighting everything up. My 60 pet was squished in seconds and I just had time to feign death before dying too, then saw it harassing some other poor folk got caught in its path.

Very nasty, its sort of amber yellow golden colour and seems much larger than the other fen striders, at least what I saw of it. It caught me about half way in a direct line between Telredor and Cenarion Refuge

Whose going to be the first to post a picture having lived to tell the tale ! Yes I'm being dramatic but it kinda ..was :) Like a scene from War of the Worlds in fact.

I love Zangarmarsh !

Killed him with 60 priest,63 warrior, 61 rogue, 70 rogue (tanked)

We let the rogue tank so everyone could do max dps. Rogue had 8-9k hp so it was not hard to heal him with big slow heals. He had some nature aoe damage, so rest of group first aided and used lightwell for heals.

Hard and fun mob to fight. :)

Dropped cloak of sorcerer.

Commento di Allakhazam

About 30 minute ago I killed a 62 rare no problem, so then I saw this guy and thought "this has to be my lucky day". I shot a frostbolt and his healthbar didn't even move. I tried to run away, but he killed me fast :( There should be a difference indicator between elite rare and just rare :\

Commento di Allakhazam

This guy is as bad as an instance boss.....

he hits for about 1000~1200 (not factoring in damange reduction)every hit... and he hits several times a tic....

He is NASTY

Do not atempt this unless you have a good tank and healer... and DSP

if you don't have a level 70 or two.. you will need a full group for this guy....

don't try by yourself or with only 3 64ish people.... you will get sluaghtered.

Commento di Allakhazam

Me: Oh look a rare, ready?
Partner: Sure, go.
Me: (as a wisp) WTF?
Partner: You died before I could even get a heal off.

Yeah .... don't underestimate this one. Some manner of interrupting that 1K per hit spell is highly advisable.

Commento di Allakhazam

For druids: Immune to Hibernate and Entangle. (I found out the hard way..)
He is stunnable thou.
Just did it with 3 ppl, pally, druid and rogue, but still pretty irritating.
