Went into Plane of Justice last week and killed some High Guardians with a cleric friend as we waited on rest of group to run a Trial. Upon killing the High Guardian we lost a faction that is not listed, with 'Guardians of Justice' and 'Jacosh Steldenn', the frost efreeti near Tribunal portal. One faction hit made me apprehensive with all the Sentries, Guardians, Gaolers, and High Guardians (Including Zephyst) and Jacosh Steldenn. Keep this in mind if you plan to kill many of them.
I experimented with this. It looks like only the high guardians of justice near the tribunal portal next to Jacosh give the faction hits. If you kill the ones on the other side of the zone on the way to speak to Mavuin there is no faction hit. I have no idea how to raise the faction :/
I was kiting the deathrow in PoJ as usual and decided to throw in some High Guardians into the mix. I was interested to see the faction hits you wrote about, but figured who cares, since it affects barely anything. I killed two High Guardians, and Guardian Zephyst a few times, and recieved NO faction hit of any kind. when i left the zone i was /conning indifferent to all guardians.
These are fun to solo with with a 65 druid. What I do is run them to the big square corridor close to the exits. Gives plenty of room to kite them. Plus nothing will add on me there due to me being higher level. Somebody told me I shouldn't do that cause of the level 50's that hunt the exits, but I have never once had my pulls hurt any of them.
I get diamonds fairly often from them, also got a ethereal parchment.
soloed this with lvl64 druid. Didn't summon or resist any of my spells. Cast lots of dots...used the upper level corridors for this as they are the longest and give most time because this guy can hurt you. Lost count on hp. Dropped a baton and a raw diamond.
The sentries will aggro anyone who is below level 56, rats will assist. To pull a high guardian, you will get at least 1 add. A gaoler of justice(which the bard neglected to mention).
#REDACTED,
Posted:Aug 23 2003 at 6:52 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I Kited this guy in the halls with my bard at 50. What can I say my spells land, he doesnt cast, run like the wind, theres open space. It was rather easy.
High guardians have 45 - 50K HPs. They can be harmonied, snared and kited. They do not summon. The ones from the Trial area gives a rather substantial faction hit. Every single one I have killed has been lvl 60. Never seen any lvl 59's. Max hit is approx 489. They do not flurry, but they do enrage at 10% health. The other guardians drop loot, but the High Guardians drop nothing (at leasting nothing from the 50 or so that I have killed). 2 lvl 58s get approx 4% AA per kill each from them.
Hits for 457 max or so. Not really that high resists, he does NOT flurry, he enrages at low health.
Drops parchments sometimes(the first ones), high end gems, some quest items that I haven't figured out yet(ceremonial baton, doesn't show up in allakazham).
I pulled one to the corridor just outside the "racetrack." 56 shammy slowed and healed while 55 monk and 60 sk (me) beat on him. You shouldnt get any rat adds in the small corridor.
I have spent the last 3 nights soloing these and I would estimate that they have approximately 40k + hit points. I am receiving nearly 2 blue bubbles of AAXP of them. the loot drops are as follows: Peridots Diamonds Raw Diamonds Blue Diamonds Sterling Key Chains
I have yet to see an Ethereal Parchment yet, but I am staying here for a while due to the tremendous experience I am receiving off them.
I have not received a faction hit, but have only killed the ones near the Punisher room.
This guy hits in the 200-400 range and flurries. A group of low-mid 50's was able to *almost* take him down but the fight was taking long and a roaming rat agroed our level 49 shammie, 51 warrior, and started to work on our cleric. I suppose we could have killed him under more controlled circumstances, but it would have been close.
