The Diaku Overseer  

The Diaku Overseer is a RARE pop.

I have been camping him for my warrior for over a week and nothing. After speaking with some warrior friends of mine, they told me that he is very rare and sometimes roams in the pit area when he's up.

Best thing is to camp his room and bring a tracker. He will, however, be up after server resets and patches.

Spawn time is 24 hours. He also spawns directly after a patch. *wink wink*

Anyways, boxed with 65 war and cleric. Full elab and SoF + palladium on both. Warrior used Truncheon of Doom for slow and wasn't a bad fight.

This guy isn't that hard, but does Enrage and goes on Wild Rampages... Took my swarm of pets out with just the rampage. Looks like 1589 was the high hit on my pet, was partially slowable but still hit pretty fast and the rampage never seemed to slow down.

Wanted the clicky cure for my cleric. Took him down with a 75 Bard and 73 Cleric. Killed him on first try and he dropped the War Disciple's Focus.

with 70 cleric/Mage/Enchanter (tacvi-ish level gear).

Took 2 casts of slow stick to get it to land and two cripples. Mage started off with swarm pets to push into corner and then all three moved to opposite corner to avoid ae ramp.

Used ancient heals on cleric as CH was taking too long and almost lost mage pet once.

man i gotta agree keep the crap to yourself whats the damn spawn time

Ae ramp, melee range only it seems. Now I know.....

Peace

Tried him today and he was even con at 70 and did AE rampage. Ate through summoned pets and charmed pet like nothing.

Weeee... We killed it with 65 enc, 65 dru and 65 sha many times.. not very difficult, but not easy too=)

Even-con to me at lvl 70 now. Loc is +17 +1375. Will post more if we decide to kill him.

Dedicated to all you people who are tired of the sh*t posts and spam that are so damn common on these mob profiles.

I just killed him this afternoon. We tried a different tactic than most.

The first tactic is the one everyone uses:

Enchanter + War Boar (pet with haste mask, mage weapons and belt) + 65Cleric + 65 Cleric.

As said below, mob will stay on the pet unless a 5th party gets any type of aggro (i.e. hitting the overseer, healing a member of the Overseer's Aggro list.


As an Enchanter (65), I have learned a few things about this mob, and charm trio'ing it. This can easily by done by 3 people. What I do is I clear out the piggy room (the room before the hog farm). There should be two mobs on opposite corners, and a wanderer. Tash and Charm "a War Boar"...."Total Domination 3" is a must (Enchanter AA skill). Send the boar at the corner mobs, then finally at the wanderer. Now start clearing the tunnel toward the overseer's camp.

Mob respawn is roughly 27 minutes, so you have some time. When you've cleared to the overseer, get in the room, and hang a right into his lair. Overseer will be on the opposite side of the room. Have the chanter go back in the hall, invis and recharm the pet. Use the hallway for a runway. Now, the overseer doesn't have a large aggro radius, so walk towards him til you're in healing range.

Tash the overseer to pull and send the pet in (with chanter haste, mage mask/weapons). The pet will get aggro as the overseer passes the pet. Slow immediately and cripple immediately. Now just chanter nuke, and use Asphyxiate, as it has some STR/DEX debuffs on it. Both clerics should be chain CH'ing. It is important that the clerics have a bunch of AA's for critical heals...and some nice equipment. The fight, when you get down to the final 15% gets hairy. Clerics go oom if they don't have nice equipment, and all is lost. Before the overseer enrages, root him and when he enrages, pull the pet off the overseer. When enrage is done, send it back in to finish him off.

You have now soloed the Overseer.




Another way to do it is with 4 clerics. Appoint two clerics as the main clerics. When they are almost OOM, have them hit a "GATE" button that tells the group he/she is gating, so the backup cleric can cover CH's while the OOM cleric gates. Both will cast about at the same time, GATE will gate the OOM cleric out and take him off the AGGRO list, thus allowing the new cleric who is already casting his CH to the pet to take the OOM cleric's space on the aggro list.

If mana is an issue, the above should be your cure-all.

Enjoy the how-to!

P.S. He dropped two daggers and a rune.

Tried to take this guy out again the other day. We had two groups there so used a MT method which didnt work very well. Every time we went at him after a minute or so he lost aggro on the MT totally and killed me (cleric) and other cleric and everyone else. Whats funny is that the MT was one of the last people to die.

Tried him with a initiate of zek chanter pet, me, and a druid on heals. It didnt work very well dont think the initiate has enough HP's. This guy does so much damage that if you cast CH when the pet engages the pet will be dead by the time the heal lands. My advice: start CH way before the pet even engages like 4-5seconds before and for first heal have both healers do it at the same time so the pet is practically full health again by the time its slowed.

Ok heres how you do this guy with 3 people and a pet. You need 2 cleric and an enchanter. You clear the area then send the pet in and the clerics heal the pet and the chanty slows. Thats all you need. The reason that alott of people have trouble one grouping this guy is because they aproach him with the old mob mentalitly. IE slow tank with a full group. The mobs in Tactics have a hate list of 4 pc and npc anything over that will cause them to go crazy. IE 2 clerics a enchanter and pet = 4.
We farm this guy EVERY day just like this. We have tried adding melee, a AM3 ranger and it totally wiped up, then we tried a tank same thing happened even with 2 clerics. The overseer was passing so much damage around and the tank and pig you couldnt keep both up. I have no idea the HP on the pigs but its massive, alott more then a 8K tank for sure. So anyway find u a couple of good healers and a chanty that has good AA in charm and you are a rich person, lol well who ever wins the drops :). We do Glyk with a similiar pattern but use a tank and a ranger for that one.

This guy is one grpable. or at least for me lol. Hits pretty hard. Best is mini raids. maybe 2 grps can take him easy can use chanter pet but has to be a good chanter. 2 tank types. need a warrior with disc, AE taunt. and he is cake. 2 healers is all u need.

rar

He does pretty low HP for his level, but he has an AE Rampage that Triples for about 1600.

Easiest done with a couple of pets from the pig farm just down the hall.

Send in a Tank and your pets, and start your heal rotation. When he gets to about 50% health all your other melees charge in. As they charge all use either an Avoidance Disc, or for like myself, WhirlWind Disc. This will save you from the AE Rampage.

By the time your Disc ends you either have him dead or so near death that he doesn't Rampage again. If he does and you are fully buffed, you may still live but for sure not be very well off.

At least thats how we do it.

He hits for 1680 now. He rampages, and slow does land on him but it is mitigated. Make sure MT gets agro cause no one else will last long against him. With my defensive disc up I was getting pounded for 800 or so.

Guild did him yesterday ..
He dropped a War Disciples Focus, Primary / Secondary Pretty nice toy,clickable abolish poison
Also a blood bladed dagger and a spectral
We got him with two enchanter pets and one druid,one cleric,one druid,one shaman for healing, was a fun fight!

I've done this mob a bunch of times. Easiest kill is to have a warrior defensive tank it, and 1 (or more) Enchanter CoD pet do the DPS. A group of 5 could do it that way, e.g. warrior, cleric x 2, druid (rampage healing, snare, buffs etc.) and one enchanter.

I've also done him a few times with three people (1 cleric, 1 druid and 1 enchanter), it's a lot more risky, but doable. Enrage is the big problem, pets die *fast* even when spamming /pet back off as fast as you can...
