a desert madman  

one time a looong time ago at 3 in the morning i was running around the oasis,i ran into a desert mad man and he said in a snobby english kind of accent "pardon me ,do you have a cup of coffee".
that has only happened one time for me but i assure you it DID happen.hopefully someone out there has had this experience it was funny as hell.

I remember these guys. A royal pain in the backside in their time. Now, whenever I'm in the area for any reason, like a LDoN, I kill them every chance I get. I wonder what Holly Winstalker is up to these days...

This guy is what stopped me from being a ranger! A green one whipped me sooooo good that I quit my ranger and started a new character back in the day.

Never did like getting handed my ass by a single greenie, considering I couldn't take down any reds that easily by myself, LOL.

Just killed a desert madman in oasis with my level 13 paladin.

Highest melee hit was 22
Highest magic hit was 36 ( ice based spell)

And he roots

I won but wont try one again i had to use lay on hands to survive

i've been killing these for the raw-hide armor,but after killing about 40 to 50 of them i have yet to recieve one piece of raw-hide armor,guees it must be a rare drop

I fought in Oasis when was low-lvl, and these things ALWAYS seemed to come up and hit me, they never hit my other group memebrs, even if one was closer to him. Odd, huh? =P

Why would they be maad if they have water?

I would agree that usually these guys are nothing more than annoying but I have run into some tough ones.

I'm a lvl 16 monk twinked pretty well and a Dark blue Desert madman continually hit me for 75 non-melee and almost got me. Not fun.

In general just con 'em and keep an eye out for them (F9 four times gets a good external view while fighting).

Hope this helps,

the magic guys are strong as hell. I dont care what u say they can still be a difficulty at lv 15

GEMS?!?!?

im a 16 lvl troll shammy, been runnin around oasis for last 4 levels. These guys always been a problem..they all con green to me at my level now, but that dont stop em from attacking me and causing me pain, they do on occasion pop me for about 70-75 nukes, and they always like to get ya when your busy with somethin else. They do have good loot for the level, and the water is a great drop, anytime in need of something they drop on average 3 water flasks.

I was in oasis the other day killing crocs. and all the sudden a madman comes up and starts hitting me. i conned to him he was green. i started to kill him. but then he started nuking me! for like 75 and stuff. he kicked my butt! big time. so i went back to get my corpse and while i was about to get to it "a desert madman starts to cast a spell" you feel your skin boil you have taken 73 pounts of damage. a madman bashes you for 23 points of damage and so on. you have been slain by a desert madman. well i got really mad. went back to get my corpse and then all the sudden a sand giant hits you for 123 points of damage. a sand giant hits you for 93 points of damage. a sand giants hits you for 130 points of damage. you have been slain by a sand giant LOADING PLEASE WAIT.......
and so i got really mad then i got a high level to help me get it. so finnaly i got my corpse :)

level 16th rogue
cazic thule

I saw one of these guys conned green to me. he attaked me and started whippin my but i had SOW and i ran. He casted a spell on me and hit me like 3 times for 74! He started to follow me i slowed down i was so weak and started casting all kinds of spells and hiting me and crap and killed me real easily. these guys are real tough. especialy for rogues. be careful when around them. i still cant kill casters at level 14! so rogues if you see one at this level or near i suggest you run unless you have alot of HP. SOW wont even help. So i just wanted to tell you be carefull around these guys they are very dangerous.

14th rogue cazic-thule

These are so so so annoying, I just kill them for there food though and water, and sometimes they get there ruddy hands on gems, or bronze weapons. Do they acually say, "Can I pleasse have some copper?" I have never heard one, they usally jut say "Damn my eyes, your nothing but a mirage" and attack you.

P.S. they also have rations

i was in oasis the other day by the wagons and i saw a madman he conned green to me and he started to attack me i tried to attak him but non of his health bar went down i started to die quickly i started to run and yell for help no one helped and he killed me but how he conned green to me?

These guys HURT! im a 15 cleric and i attacked one that conned blue to me and i lost almost 3 bubs of health and all of my mana!! it would suck if theyere were more of them.

man, these madmen are anyoning! they con green to me and they still run up in groups and nuke my brains out and root me so i can't attack them. any protection from these little hell children?

Yes be very careful! One conned blue to me, so i attacked. Well he attacked back and i was dead 1min later. Did not know that he was a caster. He casted root and a flame spell that hit for 20-25 pts. Fast too! I was lev 15 at the time. Careful!

as a level 17 ranger I was attacked by one of these things that conned green but gave exp. It was a caster and it took me down to less than a bubles of health (I think I started at 4 bubs anyway). I had earlier taked a few blue melee and that was hardly a scratch on me... watch out for the casters

The desert madmen suck in comparason to the MM you find in NRO. The DMMs rarely use the high lvl spells, like the 90 pont lightning spell that their compatriots do in NRO. and in both cases the conned white to me. The ones in oasis used burst of flame and some ae cold based attack. while the the ones in NRO used lighning, combuts, and the ae lighning spell. and they chain cast like crazy, unlike the ones in Oasis. So be aware of these bad men in NRO.

If you are high enough they don't agro on you. Follow him and after he stops he will say something. It sounded like "might I have some coffe".
All of them in S Ro will say this, at least the dozen or so I listened to.

One coned green to me so i attacked him, he turned out to be a caster.
Knocked me down to 2 bubbles hp, i am a 19th Lvl Shaman in full banded. I just meleed him. The casters are tough. He dropped 4 water.

These guys cast shock (or sum other spell) of lightning.
took a full bar off from a lvl 16 troll shm.
there wizzies monks druids and once i saw a rogue

Their is three kinds: Druids, Monks, and Warrior type. Druid has spells whirling wind, ignite, and burst of flame. Along with thistle coat dmg/sheild. Monk has duel wield and tiger claw. Warrior has duel wield as well and bash.

Be warned. Guards in North Ro will NOT jump in and attack these guys if you run to them.

Roswell, they say just as the people in the Qeynos sewers "Might I have some copper please?"
