It might also be helpful to have remove greater curse up as a healing spell. The OOW mobs that have mana and hp draining curses are the worst, but any mob that can curse, if you have this up it should be np to get rid of. Could also have enc cast int sup for anti fizz, prob have not had that buff on me since lvl 8, but these are some idea I am having from all these posts. I plan to duel box (healer, slower) while a friend tanks him. You guys have given great info, so I know what to expect.
There is still ways to prevent yourself from being hit by the enfeeblement ae proc on the cleric. Any EP geared dps tank type could duo this with a cleric. The only problem would be respawns and buffs staying on long enough. That all being said. I did him today with paladin bst monk dru cleric. Fight took 17 minutes. only buffs were group buffs. nuff said grats to dooma for a new clicky haste belt.

In days gone by, I remember the flowers and the sky
damn, and I've seen your magelo. Was coming to see if he was soloable.
Is there a safe corner to pet pull him to, to not worry about adds during the fight?

Duoed him yesterday with 70 cleric (about 250 aa, 7.5k mana, VoQ) and 70 rng(raid buffed).
The fight took 47 minutes and we just barely managed to kill the mob before respawn startet.
THO parsed as having about 950k HP and did an average DPS of 305 against me thoughout the fight with Slow from EC on.
Did unfortunatly not drop the belt though. But was a fun and challanging fight to duo. To be on the safe side i would recommend to bring an extra DPs class to the fight.
hrmmmm... ********* This guy has more hitpoints that God.. I tried with a two groups of EP geared or better geared toons and didnt get him to 50% after 30 mins.
did him with myself a beastlord, 2 necros, 2 clerics and a druid. the 2nd cleric and the druid were bots of the necros so~ anyways I did 309k dmg to him and I'm sure both necros kept up with my damage... 309x3 = 927 aprox.
Fight took 14 minutes and we were starting to get repops is my concern..
It flurries as well what increases his dps by a lot, but Earthcaller proced quite early and seemed to hit for full.
DPS(after EC slow): 370
Rampage: No (not seen at least)
Summons: Yes. at about 98 to 97 percent
HP: an immense ammount
Summary: Getting there isnt too hard. The guard mobs seem to be linked and where comming 2 at a time. Not sure on respawn but i would suggest to try clear them as quick as possible to have a long time window for the fight. Once slowed the dps output is nothing too bad. A tank should be ok with 1 healer.
Problem: Feeble Mind - It makes casting allmost impossible, so its important that the healer does not get hit by it.
Question: Where to position the healer to hide AE ?
70 doesn't mean much these days. Anybody can monster-mission their way to 70. How about some real info about the people you took him down with, like AAs, what kind of gear you have, etc.
took this out with cleric,dru,war and 3 mages.. took about 30mins.. and I being the warrior was quite fun tanking without slow.. go figure only the pally sword droped along with few spells..
Decided to kill him as we where heading to the mage epic kill behind him... mage epic kill lasted only about 30 secs hehe
Dropped brells mountainous barrior and Mask of the stalker
not indicated on his loot table
and - hell - he also droped a pain sphere which is not on his loot table - common drop in zone
he also droped savagry, the orb, the glowing orb, the veil and the rogue piercer.

took about 15 minutes to kill from engage with about 32 peeps on our way to kill mage epic in Deep like one hallway away from THO.
Na'Fianna killed him today on Cazic Thule server. Dropped the helm of Grim Blessings and mnk/bst weapon. No mnk nor bst were in raid so it rotted. Had 23 ppl and MT had 8.3k hp 1500ac. Wasn't too hard at all. Just make sure casters only come from behind pillar to nuke/dot/heal then pop back behind pillar. Had a druid who's only task was to cure feeblemind. This guy has A LOT of hp, took us about 20min to kill him. Adds respawn in about 30min so you'll need to kill THO, distribute loot, and port out quickly. We weren't that quick and almost wiped due to elders add. Fury DoT is resistable at 259MR. Hope this helps someone
cleric shammy ranger pally rog ench rog pulled the adds out we killed em i walked in (shammy) debuffed and slowed him then we just started wacking him some curs here and some heals there whas a looooooooong fight around 40mins had the adds repop 2 times i think but whas fun and yes we are elemental time geared tank had 12k hp and cleric is only 2k under that
It was not an easy task at all, however, my guild on the Tribunal took him down today with 16 people , average lvl 63. NO ONE is elemental/time geared in my guild. I do not reccomend anyone really go in there with these kinds of numbers tho. The fight took a loong time. 25-30 minutes. Our DPS was JUST enough to make the percentage tick downwards. ALtho at times, it seemed it was not moving in the least. I am a paladin with approx. 7300 HP raid buffed, and actually had no trouble tanking him (with a good CH rotation) and it was funny to see all the melee call out *Feeble!* each time he AoE'd feeblemind, so our casters could pop out from behind the rock and nuke. It was alot of fun, and probably one of the most exciting encounters i've had on EQ. (It is nice when you do not have to jump thru major hoops for a mob like this, ya jus gotta catch him up). This fight, and its length made me think of posts i have read about taking down Seru. As he is also quite a lengthy fight. And after what we went thru to kill this guy, i cannot wait to try out Seru , and have another harrowing 30-40 minute fight.
The ONLY downside to all of this was , my party members had trouble looting the no drop pieces , and before they could , the entire room of elder's repopped on us and wiped us. It was horrible, as we had no way to get back to the corpse in time to try and recover the loot. Again. He dropped the horn of chaos (which would have rotted anyway , no BL or monk with us) the viel of elements, the helm, 2 copies of Elneriks, Cloak of Akheva , and the orb. Sorry Venas and Gdaren, i know you won the rolls, and rightfully that loot should be yours. Im sure once the petitions are answered, a GM will hand that stuff right over to us (Hahahahahahaha)
