Dropped him the other night fairly easy for my 46 bard just run around and twist the 3 DOT songs i have took at least 4-5 times longer then normal but worth it he droped the totemic helm and a blue diamond lol cant wait to see him again. P.S. ive kited Tarskus(Rng ivy etched quest piece)and was lucky i was a bard because he outran my sow so i had to strat my selos but this named cyclops was just as fast as a HG so he takes longer but he cant catch you if sown lol
Found him the other night and started to kite him and found he has a lot more HP than I anticipated.
I stacked Drones/Immolate/Winged Death on him and after two stacks he was not even down to half health. I did the trio again and before I could finish him I went LD. Good thing he was rooted at the time.
Came back and he was full HP and I was OOM (started at 3M) so I left him alone.
Kited this dude pretty easy...con blue at 51. Dropped Blue Diamond, Totemic Vambraces & Essence of Rathe. Never hit me but seemed to have around the same HP as Broog only was less resistant to my dots & roots.
killed this guy tonight was wandering by and he looked like he needed a beat down. to my amazement he had TONS of HP 3 Ebolts 2 plagues and alot of JBBs later I picked up a Blue diamond and Totemic greaves. I wasn't pre-paired for him, prolly best to malo him b/c high resist.
Most of it has stats that don't help much... for instance the gloves have +5INT which is useless to WIS casters. Totemic is good for Shamans up to about L30, by then you can acquire better stuff with WIS. The exception in the AC12 WIS+5 Helm, which I still wear at L50.

Killed him at 46(druid). hits like the others said up to 130(about). Was semi resistant to my firespells and semi to my magic based dot. Had to change tactics in the middle of battle as I was low on mana. just ran him up and down the wall reapplying my dot... lots of hitpoints( my guess is around 6k hp. I didn't notice an hp regen though. As I said before I had lil to no mana, so I couldn't reapply my dot without interuptions. He dropped totemic bracers and a ruby crown, also some plat.
I was able to kite this guy (50 druid) was a blu con... when i went lom a kind warrior ran him around so i could med for another blast/dot.. he droped the helm and a blu sapphire that night.
I was on my way out of Rathe Mountains, headed to Lake Rathe, and this guy is on track. Long kite, but he goes down and drops Totemic Cloak, ac10 sta4 or something like that, shaman only.
I have bad luck with rare spawns and this is the first rare spawn I've seen in rathe mtns, with the exception of having Zephyl show up once to test my fear song out while I was kiting a hill giant. Even seeing this guy was just some other group taking him on so no loot for me but here's what I noticed. Blue at 51, hit into the 130s, and the ton of hitpoints thing seems wrong, it appeared that he had it all in regen as the group fighting him could barely keep his HP bar from going back up. Anyhow, I managed to help them out by putting fear and chains on him (that's fear kiting for all the non bards out there) and eventually had to help melee but between me and their group concentrating on offensive power he eventually died. They said he dropped totemic boots, he gave no faction hits.
Killed this rare spawn last night on Povar. The Group was me ( 42 wizard), my Guild master (48ish wizard) and a 45 cleric. I won the roll on the BP, but we also looted a gem (ruby) and some cash. This MOB had an insane amount of HP. The 48ish wizzy did over 3k and I did around 2k, and the cleric even dropped a few bombs in. Rough MOB, but it was a fun group. Thanks Guys.

Just smacked this guy in RM, he was like a regular clops as far as spells, no resists. Myself 53 ranger and a 40 ranger kited him up and down the wall by LR zone a few times, lots of HP and hits very hard. Loot was a totemic bracer and a blue diamond, plus some paltry cash.
Drops totemic armor??? Totemic is quest armor, no where else have I EVER heard of a mob dropping completed pieces of ANY classes quest armor, much less totemic... I'd have to see it to believe it.

I was thinking the same thing, dude. " A Totemic BP???? " . So I was thinking, well someone gave it to him.....but it was after the patch that denied that very thing. Then I come here and see the other posts. I'm trying to understand the logic behind it seeing as how Totemic is Shaman cultural and is quested for just like Lambent, Crafted and Ivy. I mean, are there other MOBS out there that drop these? Why is this guy so special? Is it because that some of the quest items for Totemic are hard to find (ie Grizzleknot Bark off the super-de-dooper rare spawn in SK)? If that's the case, i think I can understand.
But to ease your curiousity a bit, yes. Me and some friends killed this bad boy last night, and yes there was a Totemic BP on it. So it does definatly drop Totemic.....and other interesting stuff. Chrystalized Sulfer.....anyone know what that's for?
I saw this guy while camping Cynthia, I knew he dropped Totemic Armor, so I got a high level Shaman and Necromancer to kill him for me ( I was 35 and he was red ) he dropped Totemic Gauntlets which was somewhat of a disapointment, because I already had Splitpaw Hide Gloves and we Troll Shamans need all the Wisdom we can get.
Killed this guy yesterday with a shammy both of us lvl 44 and had him bite the dust in about 20 mins. stacked Drifting Death with the shammys VoS. Lots o hps! dropped Totemic BP.
Ok, today me and a necro friend were runnin low on cash so decided to go kill HG's in Rathe...great idea btw. Anyways, I'm a lvl 31 SK, and he's a 49 necro. Took about 5 minutes of fighting, Me and the Necro pet meleeing, and the Necro DOTing, and lifetapping. Both me and the pet were down to about 10% life when he hit his run stage. Anyways, dropped Totemic Bracers. It was great fun tho, wouldn't wanna do it again tho :)
Why not man? Battles like those where your not sure how it's gonna turn out... especially with nice insentive (such as loot) are great fun, and are the highlight of the game. It gets your blood pumping man.
...or you could just smoke pot and camp safe blues to get the same effect.
/AGREE...nothin better then those battles that get hairy and death is just barley escaped. Especially when everyone in the group is already planning the CR and you pulll it off :)

Was holding Hasten for a guy by the Feerrott zone when I hear the dreadful HG/Clops noise, and see "Oculys Ogrefriend hits YOU for 119 points of damage!" *ouch*... so I laid a snare on him and ran like the Dickens for the zone, shouted out for help in the zone and after about 15 mins of fighting me: a 41 ranger, a 52 shaman and a 42 druid managed to kill him.. he dropped a bunch of plat, and totemic gauntlets. Was tombstone to me, so he's at least 44.
Oculys spawns near the bandit camp in the Cyc area of RM. Very fast, very deadly. Hits for 100+ and seems to have a natural haste, as he was hitting me so fast I couldn't get a snare off and had to run like a little girl :)
He was indeed in the cyc area. He was standing exactly where he was in the picutre above and having a grand old time killing the Bandits that keept spawning until some group came over and waxed him good. He dropped the Totemic Boots that time.
Me and a lvl 51 necro got him last night...he has plenty of HP (6000-7000) or so. He dropped me a Totemic Helm and 4pp. Saved me the time to get the Helm though :)
thnx to Naro that helped me take down the creature!
Nisse Manpowa - lvl 40 shaman auf nameless server.
being a shaman in rath, when i heard he was out i came running of course he was red to me, at 35th, and i just sat there watching him then i heard a call for a group forming to kill him. and I ran over to watch. the group was a 46th paly and 2 40+ lvl casters, i said hello and got the job as healer. off we went. it was a tough battle. the paly took a lot of damage even with an ac near 800. Mr orgefriend tends to hit for 100+ no mater who you are. one caster went oom and the other finished him off seconds later after it was over, we reviewed the fight. the paly did 500+ in damage, and and needed 900+ in heals to end the fight at 2 bubs left. two pets did 200 or so in damage. the one caster did 2000+ to him, but the wizard did a reported 5000 to him. the loot a few plat, a rune for a 44th or 49th lvl pet spell and one totemic bracer. he did move fast and with that many htps i don;t think anyone is going to kite him :) he got 3 attacks around, i think. he was getting debuffed so he may get more. the servers had been upgraded that day and it took about 4-6 hours of cyclop killings to bring him out. after he came out there was a bunch of cyclops running around at least twice as many as before
i killed him last night , one tough SoB . i kited him for 40minutes on LoM , he is not as fast as sow unsnared , rather slow for a named mob . Hits very Hard also around 130s , just be safe killing him , hes one NASTY clops ! ! !
