Hogswaller  

ok wtf 2 nites of camping this area and still no named. is he really that rare

Lol, what a fun mob this is.

I'll tell you some fun things about the mob before I get to the basic facts.

Hogswaller wanders in the NE corner of the zone, that area that says "INSTANCE ZoneIN (Raid)" on your map.

He's a clockwork, but he's got a bucket in one of his hands, and every so often he'll stop and all the roboboars in the area will come wander over to him, and he feeds them. Very cute lol.
When he feeds them, the roboboars will emote:
"a hungry roboboar oinks with piggy delight."

During the fight, he emotes every so often and says:
Hogswaller says 'Well, since you insist on interrupting my work, let's just see how you like this hog slop!'

I also noticed the emote:
'oil slop dries up'

I believe the first emote indicated that hes spawned an add, and the 2nd one indicates that an add has despawned.

my parses doesn't show being HIT by the adds, I believe that they just cast.

My parses also don't show him as having CAST any spells, which leads me to believe that the adds are a mechanic, and not a spell, and that his static bolt is proc'd, and not cast.

Our tank was a level 80 monk with 3400 AC, max defensives, 17% shielding, 91 avoidance, improved block III, improved dodge III, 8% dodge mod.
His max hit was 3177
his average hit was 1518.
his melee DPS was 606. (my parses didn't pick up the 7k nuke for some reason).
His single target DD was landing for just under 7k, and landed several times.

He didn't see invis.
He didn't run on low health.
He didn't rampage, flurry, or AE rampage.
He DID enrage.
He was partially slowable.

All in all, a pretty tame named for Fort Mech if you ask me.

And he still nukes for 8800. At least that's what it hit me for.

Hogswaller spawns in the North East area of the zone. After taking all the elevators to the top, head around to the north east and then take the long elevator down. In addition to the regular zone mobs, this area has roaming robotboars which can't be attacked. I know that Hogswaller spawns in this area as we found him up after a patch (roaming), however we have been unable to spawn him since then. If anyone knows what his PHs are please post them.

He summons the oil slops(untargettable)

The oil slops cast the static bolt, not him, according to our logs (January 1, 2007)

There can be multiple oil slops up at once, as their despawn timer is not known to me, and he seems to bring them out every 6 - 20 seconds.

The actual 8k dd itself has a very small aggro range but it is literally chain cast.

The snare is a separate issue entirely. He spews out little blobs of ooze that snare people near them.

As far as I have seen this should be done as a range fight with only the tank taking the AE. It will be cast non stop on him... good luck!
