Just a note. His Loc of his bandit camp is 3111, 1378, 127. It is on top of the hill headed to Lake Rathe. He didnt appear on my druid track until I was in the upper part of the zone.
I went to the mountains to kill some Hill Giant. I had read about this guy and the Gale Weaver Shield quest and was curious. I ask a ranger in zone if he had Blackguard on his tracker. I then asked if he and his group, of mid thirties friends, would like to help me kill him in exchange for temperance. On the way to the bandit camp some of my new group members started asking why a level 50 cleric needed help killing a bandit. When we got to the camp I pacified Blackguard and started killing the rest of the bandit. They all went down with one or two swings of my Soul Stripper. I started to worry that I had recruited help for no reason and was going to look like an idiot. Thankfully Mr. Drayen Blackguard did not disappoint. He resisted most of the spells we through at him and six of us meleed him for eight minutes before he started to run at 20% health. “Holy Hit Points†was the quote of the day. Any way I got the idle, they got Temp and Blackguard got his.
Drayen Blackguard /loc in Rathe Mountains is pos 3060 pos 1218 in the Bandit Camp inside the southern tent. He hits between 40-139 and hits slow. Cannot be snared, or rooted. I'm a level 62 druid I kited him around and threw Wildfire on him about 12 times, so he's got about 12-15k HP, and yes I soloed him. He seems to have high magic resist because my stun/nuke spell wouldn't land, but low fire resist. Hope this helps anyone that needs his piece for the uber Shield =)
I always saw this guy on track but never really knew what he was. I found him and tried to root and shoot like normal, but he couldn't be affected by my root or snare. I felt cocky with my Virtue and KEI, he was only DB. Well he started hurting a little too much, so I took off running. I was in wolf form so he couldn't keep up. I'd just stop after a good run to dot him, and then just keep on running...was simple. Just took forever, ranjah dot's don't hurt too much lol =D
