hey it's my best buddy! we brawl at least8 times a day! hehehe we know eachouther so well. has anyone seen his other buddy, horror? i saw him 3 times scince i hunted echo.

Hits for no more then 110 I think 108 is easiest 47 shaman/45 rogue easy solo him has DAMM GOOD PR/DR Slow stuck after I malaisement him. He does run at 20% and skelles do aggro when you pull him luckily only 1 aggroed for us

Ran into that room in my early 30s...can anyone say NECRO!!!


59 Cleric of Tunare
The Nameless

this thing is blue to a 52.
it hits for 60-80 (not to shabby)
swings kinda slow for its lvl
has about 1.5-2k hps(sorry bout the big gap there, but my dmg calc wasnt working right)
doesnt run and has no disc's spells or abilities to worry about

hope that helps

Ive heard many people say that the slaves are social with him, i can tell you that is Not the case. They are on one of the Iksar factions, they con ally to my 48 Beastlord. i fought him right in the middle of the room, 0 adds. Hailing the skeletons does nothing.....but i havent thought til just now of trying to hand one of them the skull. Ill give it a try and keep you posted.

Gee I whish i knew I have 2 of the mask (skulls )
whatever and have no idea what to do with them

I only tried to cast Envenomed Bolt twice on this guy before switching to something else, but both times he resisted it. That may have been bad luck, but being a snake I guess it makes sense if he has a very high poison resistance.

I just finished camping this mob and the room outside his tonight, with 2 of my guildies. Group was a 38 Monk (me), 44 Warrior and 44 Shaman. Room was easy to sigle pull and clear, then I would single pull the TM (without any adds) down to the large cleared room. He was an easy kill everytime.
To pull him, I would just run up and let him agro on me, them backout of the room. None of the skellys would assist, since I hadn't attack the TM.
You can pull the 2 skellies on the right of the room, after the TM is dead. The other four won't agro.
Out of the four skellies i found i could pull the left two, without the right two agroing.
In the end we had a nice cycle going.
Clean large room, kill TM, kill right two skellies, kill left two skellies of the four remaining, then rest and let Shaman med, then start cycle again.

Safe journey and good hunting,

i am a 49 SK and i have greenmist (18 22 normaly 24 22 vs shissar) and so i just wanna know what is the best way for a SK to solo this guy and the skels in his room?

The TM is a timed spawn between 30 and 35 minutes. The 52 chanter (Xilniov) ONLY spawns if you clear the room completely. If you leave 1 slave up, Xilniov never spawns. The slaves are on aout a 10 minute spawn.

I have killed the TM approximately 100 times now (dont make me strip the kill messages from my logs) as my 44-48 cleric duoing or grouping with a combination of a 45-49 pally, 41-46 monk (although at 41 it was tougher), or a 50-53 warrior, depending which of my friends were on at the time. We have all leveled that many times on the slaves, the TM and the room ourside. In those many many kills the organs have dropped a total of 5 times.

I usually chain stun the TM with the occassional banish undead, and one CH at some point.

If we start the night at full spawn, the tank pulls the door slave, then the TM. I can keep any adds (up to 3) parked while we finish off the TM.

The whip sells for 47PP
The scale sells for 19PP
The orb sells for 7PP
and the picks from the slaves, although lore, are 7PP (all have gold, silver, copper too)

In an evening session we make 100PP minimum (after paying my addiction of KEI and peridots)

All in all, it's a fun camp, very lucrative in plat and XP from 40 up for 2 or 3 players.

Fought the TM all day yesterday with my lvl42 shaman and a lvl45 Paladin.

The TM was even to me everytime he spawned. He was a fun fight, we owned him every time too. Never got adds pulling the TM, but always had 2-3 skellies everytime we tried to pull just one.

Just wanted to tell you that he is of Undead type both my Instrument of Nife and Expulse Undead hit him.

I hunted thiss wonderous creation since my 48th lvl. If I had known he was so easy I would have been on him since 44. I am a necromancer, and all necessary spells are Call of Bones, Vampiric Embrace, Rest the Dead, and of course Dooming Darkness and Invoke Fear.

Use rest the dead on the skelly to the right of the doorway, and Snare the TM. Send in pet and fear. Make sure you keep him feared, cause if not he will make short work of your pet.

Still good xp at 49 but much easier now.

If you can fear him (undead or regular fear, but not animal fear), then he is cake. I flew through level 50 just hunting him and the undead slaves.

The trick is to keep him feared. I used the level 9 pally undead fear (10 mana, laff). This fear lasts 20 seconds, so I placed a clock near my monitor and counted off 16 seconds in between casts.

The only buffing/healing I used came from a DW helm. The only spells I casted were IoN and VoM every 25 minutes.

It was too easy, really. One of the few times other classes cast a envious glance towards a paladin.

I think the organ drop rate from this guy may have been nerfed, i killed him 22 times on Turkey Day and not a single organ

Killed him when i maxed my 2hb skill. Pretty easy for a 47 sk with granite face grinder. he has low MR and snare fear were unresistable.
Looted shissar organs, and skull, no idea for what are used. Will be very pleased if aynones know.

Last night group of me (42 warrior), 40ish Bard and Shaman, 30 warrior and 34 bard did this bad boy a few times. Found out he can be level 42 (conned white to me each time). Also, our older bard was able to harmony the undead slaves to get a clean pull. That really makes it easier.

Oh and seeing that big bad X guy pop just as you're about to pull the taskmaster is always good for a freak-out.

anyone know where to take it yet, just wondering?

does anyone know what the cracked shissar revenant skulls are for they are no drop and no stats

I was helpin a couple of guildies take him down last night and he does drop the guts.We took him down 4 times myself (36 ranger),a 47 ranger and 46 druid.The druid died once.The 47 ranger was pulling with snare and we got 2 adds every time,the last time we pulled him snare didnt stick and we got no adds seems like the trick pullin him under 50 is not to use snare.My question is does anyone know what the skull is for i got one in the bank and being my pack rat self need to clean out.Any info on the skull would be great.

took him out tonight with me( 51warrior ) and my 48warrior buddy, got him down to the "a" in taskmaster before he got me(tanked whole fight for 8-105 and no heals=( ) oh well, buddy finished him up, dinged 49=) and get some whip which went to his little brother. He seems soloable if you use the jousting technique... or you uber casters and just cast the poop outta him

plz for the love of god some1 with any usefull info regarding the usage or quest for the cracked shissar reverant skull. any useful info would be much appreciated. TY

Went first to echo a few months ago at 34, killed Task many many times. To pull him without adds you have to be 50+. My friend along with 2 60 chanters and some others in a group killed Xilniov and he dropped some sweeet items. 10k boots called Terror Boots, friend showed them to me himself. Also drops a piece to upgrade chanter epic, and also drops a sword i think. friend couldnt remember what else he dropped. i remember back at about 36 i was in a group and we pulled him, it was the second time my friend had been in a group pulling him. he charmed the 48 war in our group twice, then we ran to zone, where we tried to fight him again, he charmed our 50 war and the war killed the cleric in our group lol. anyways it was fun got some nice screenies of him, but havent tried him since. task is easy with a healer and a melee, dont even need a full group. sucks though when X buffs task when they are both spawned. Task conned even to me at 43, but also conned even to a 41, and actually i think he can spawn as high as 44. X is 52.
