Just to clarify, after reading a bunch of posts and doing this myself. I had ran to Kaniz's spawn point around 17 times, after getting the emote.
I can confirm that he is indeed on a 3 day timer. From the time a guildy killed him, I went there at least 5 times per day every few hours over the course of 3 days, and he finally popped on the third day.
I would also recommend taking a certain path to him. There's paths that have a TON of trash, and 1 path that has about 3-4 mobs you may have to kill. For those, if you don't want to fight them, you can Spirit of Wolf yourself and run through since they're low level.
Here's a map I took and made a path in green as to where you should go. The red dot is where he spawns, for more clarification. He doesn't spawn up the stairs.
Some more info. Confirmed location is indeed completely South, behind the Baraguj tower. Green con to lvl 85, hits for 150 or so average only, so easily soloable. It may be a bit harder to lower lvls, and I will explain why. To a lvl 85 all other mobs on the way are grey, so you can easily run to him, just ignoring the adds. By the time you arrive in the southern part you will have lost most of them anyway. I had to go to Torment 3 times to get him. Why? Because apparently he despawns after a few minutes. GM confirmed to me that when you zone in and got the appropriate parts you will get the emote message. Emote message also means Kaniz Painbringer pops. So the first time I cleared my way to the tower, arrived there, no mob to be seen... Second time I pulled all mobs bit further, same scenario, no mobe to be seen. Third time I just sprinted to the tower, and there he was. So you have less than 5 minutes to go to him, maybe only half of that even.

Didn't need infusion or even buffs for that matter. Didn't even need to heal myself. Went down pretty fast too. My paladin is 19.5k hp, 3.6k ac raid buffed but any paladin over 10k hp should be able to take him easily. The hardest part was getting to him. He is in the absolute southernmost building in the zone, NOT -1075, +900 as specified.
mit Lay Hands wars ein einfacher Kill, nun habe ich die Quest Couragebringer fertig. Kainz Painbringer steht im Südlichenturm hinten. Der Move dorthin recht einfach, jedoch durch prügeln, da doch einige Invis sehen. Root und Mezz, sowie Charm ging immer Problemlos durch.

Anyone have the true location, -1075, +900 doesnt match up.. any reference to a spot for a quest/even I have no idea, haven't been to zone in over a year
Just Solo'ed this guy. He's pretty easy if you use infusion of the faithful vet aa. I resisted his ae everytime. Max hit he had on me (with me using 2hb weapon ie. no shield block) was 650 that's with 2528ac 14770 self buffed HP. Just a good idea to root him and dispell him until root wears off. He's got some buffs on and stun won't land until u hit him with atleast 1 dispell. I only kept sacred cleansing on myself entire fight lasted 4 minutes.
IMO he can be done solo with a DoDh/Time/Qvic geared pally np. 12-13k buffed should be plenty.
Wow was so great to finnally get this guy and it happend so fast that it was not believable . Got the text your sword bits are vibrating your pointed to the south. Guild cut through mobs like butter running to south most tower . Fezzic pulled so i didnt see where he was but he showed on track not from door , but as we progressed deeper in . So think he maybe not trackable from door or doesnt spaun till u get closer to his location. In short fight was a joke, dont fear this dude he died faster than cut grass on a hot day. 3 groups raid force was plenty he could easily been done by high lvl necro or solo type but was fun to do as guild and not to long a fight at all. His tricks were pretty useless and am thankful for all the help.
I have been getting conflicting information on this spawn. Anywhere from 2 hours to 3 days. Anybody have any reliable information on this mob? When I zone in i get the emote about being pointed to the south so I know there is no problem with what i have completed before. I have been to his spawn spot multiple times at Barguj's Building and he has not been up. I petitioned about it possible being broken quest and GM says that there is nothing wrong with Couragebringer quest. Other paladins I have talked to that have done Couragebringer said that Kaniz Painbringer was up for them when they got to spawn spot. Would appreciate any help or info about this.
does any one have any hard information on this guy? Ive spent the last 3 hours killing arround the tower in the far south, brought a raid in last week to kill him and he wasnt up. I have 3 sword parts on my person and get the emote about being drawn to the south when i zone in. the loc listed above is impossible as well. the pos900 is off the far south of the map. we went ahead and did the stomache event while we had a raid there for fun and the pos900 is in there lol.
I would really appreciate any info from any one who has had to camp him or can give a better loc.
ok, just killed him and he was Darkblue to me at lvl 70. i was also getting hit by a non-melee force for 1000dmg every once in a while. also, i killed him in his spawn place and around 9% he jolted back up to 14% and seemed like he kept trying to heal itself..
Ok, I have now been to PoTorment 5 times to see If this guy is up. Everytime I go to tower where stomach mob spawns he isnt there. I have all 3 other broken sword pieces and I get emote when I zone in.. So wtf is the deal? I've even sat there with a group and grinded out the spawns for over an hour in hopes that he would spawn but nothing. Anyone have any USEFUL info on this mob?
Doesnt have a PH. Spawns on the backside of the platofrm for the Stomach event. DO NOT go upstairs when you work your way back to this area. Just go around behind on the entrance level and he is there. He is up if a Paladin enters zone with one of the other pieces and it is vibrating.
My guild has killed him twice. He has popped right on top us both times. Once in front of the tower after we defeated Baraguj and once behind the tower on the ramp. Im thinking he spawns this way all the time in that area just pops right on top of ya while you are killing in that area. Perhaps he spawns hidden and then wanders around until agoed if no agro despawns. Just how it seemed. But I can garuntee if you gind around Baraguj and he will find you.
Killed this guy last night with 12 people. Hits for in the high 800s summons he spawns behind the building where the Saryrn Key event is. Fight lasted abouot 3 minutes. Over all is pretty easy fight would be doable by 1 group
I think some things in the first post are a bit off, so i have to correct it, or atleast give you my point of view. First, Kaniz isn't permarooted, second, i wouldn't say he has THAT low hps, i did him with myself 65pal/vanazirs, 2 rogues 67/70/jagged timeforged blade and a cleric, so i assume that our dps have been much higher than Willins' group was and it still took us quite some time, and i may also add that he's slowable even without tash, one of our rogues slowed him via the good 'ol Willsapper.
"Had a charmed pet, one of the mobs near Kaniz, it hit for like 615 or something, so was nice hasted pet"
Would explain the added dps.(Chanters are your friend. Charmed dps > Rogue dps.) And yes, he was permarooted for us. (Unless they changed it since I last posted.). He never moved from his spot.
This guy is really easy. Did him with 1 pally, 1 cleric and 1 chanter. Had a druid there also, but he didn't do anything, was too lazy to switch screens to nuke or whatever. Had a charmed pet, one of the mobs near Kaniz, it hit for like 615 or something, so was nice hasted pet. Slowable with just tash. Hits for around 700. Pretty low amount of hps. The only thing that's even mildly tough about him is his AE. It's 1250dmg? I believe around there, and -55% atk speed. Cureable with RC1 (He fires it off like every 10-15 seconds so not really worth it to keep curing.). Pally isn't EP geared or anything, just some random PoP loots and VT gear with ornate. So nothing spectacular needed for him. Cleric, pally, chanter trio is probably the best and easist way to kill this guy. Also , you can hide from his AE. Just go on the sides of the walls by the building. Heals will still land on the pally as Kaniz is permarooted. So no summoning out of range.
Added - Pally is 68 , cleric and chanter were both 66, druid is 65.
