greater war boned skeleton

These guys spawn regularly in Howling Stones. I'm pretty sure they are higher than lvl45. They are still dark blue to my 60 monk. They HT for 700+ in HS, which is a bitch when pulling. But great xp!

Well, as a 51 paladin, I love these guys. I started solo'n them just as I started working out of Buring Woods. At first wowsers, tough boney fellers.. but then I took a hint from my 85 lvl druid (only in her dreams) to cast Fear the Undead and just run and hit him as he runs around. I have a Cougar Claw earing so I save on mana.. when I get tired for running I just root the bugger and DW heal myself a little, take a drink, then do it all over again.

One thing to note here is that it is very nice to have a large area to fear and kill these undead. Otherwise in a closed in area, wowsers, too many chances for a run in with another baddie.

I love it here in BW now.. great exp and a lot of exercise with the keyboard...

oops.. also with all this running around it allows for Rodcet of Nife to proc more and that 2K+ HP these War Bones have it HELPS.. hehe..

Kind of reverse Kiting.. "hey I won't tell"

What are Warbones for are they needed for higher lvl necromancers to make thier pets or are they just bones that you sell to merchants. And what are the highest priced bones anyone has gotten so far?

This guy is one of the toughest lvl 45 creatures I've ever seen. Thousands of hp and hits hard. First time we saw him he took out our group of 45-49 killing 2 and causing the others to zone.

I highly doubt you killed a level 45 mob in 3 hits at level 15. Are you sure it wasn't a lesser war boned skeleton?

Can't even kill one of these with 3 plague spells. Takes about 4 and a half plague spells so probably has about 6k hitpoints. Could be a little more but I doubt it. This is a monk mob and uses monk skills while attacking. Blocks, jumpkicks, the works. Stat debuff these with cripple and they are nothing but bags of hitpoints.

i soloed this mob at lvl 51 with a pet out and it took practically 4 blue bubs of mana... i was mostly using (malosi, turgurs, buffed pet, epic dot, and jbb) took roughly 5-10mins for me to down him... but all and all was not *too* hard of a mob... if i was not ready for him it could have been bad tho.

These guys are real tough, double-hitting upwards of 110 dmg. They have a load of hitpoints, but give decent exp per kill. Even though they are lvl 45, I've never seen one drop a spell.
