Don't confuse the fangs (no drop and always present) with the talon. I have killed over 20 of these bad boys but have yet to see a talon. I have probably killed close to twice (each) that many Deathmaws and Shredders and have one Deathmaw claw. I am now high enough to hunt Firefalls and have killed 16 so far without a single talon. What a waste of time (IMHO).
These bad boys con blue to me at lvl 16. If I'm not at 100% mana when I initiate a fight I usually have to run to the gaurd! They also seem to resist root often (I'm a shaman) and when it does take they break quickly. I usually expend all of my mana in the fight and have to med and heal afterwards. Not an easy blue by any stretch of the imagination.
Was helping a friend get his Beastlord armor today and needed the Saurek Claw Beast and couldn't find one even with the help that Allakhazam gave. I was playing my ranger that had good tracking capabilities and no spawns until we got to this Loda Kai camp near this loc :-936.18, -790.29, -245.24. He spawned after killing a whole bunch of Loda kai brigands and skeletons in that camp and man were they spawning fast... You may want some help in this camp if you are lvl 13 or 14 (I think that was the lvl of my bst friend) He was doing ok but had very little chance of healing or medding before the Saurek Claw Beast spawned. Hope this helps.
A good consistent (not fast, but consistent) way to get these to spawn is to kill the Lesser Shades and Skeletal Hunters that spawn at the northern end of the zone. The Claw Beasts can spawn rarely in any of the spawn points for the skellies there. In about 1 1/2 to 2 hours spent clearing the Shades and Hunters (farming silk) I had 5 Claw Beasts spawn there.
He attacked my 20th SK even though he conned green to me and also he refused to run at end of fight despite me only losing half a bub of health. Definatly a fanatic
Just a quick note, my level 13 bard took this beast down the other day, conned blue so i assume level 12 for the mob. Did not hit very often but when he did it was for 15 to 23 (ouch). I had hymn of restoration ( regen 4 hp per tick), johnathans whistling warsong ( 16% haste/str/ac), and Anthem de Arms ( 10% haste/ac/str). Total stats 308 Ac, 128 Str, 303 atk, 26% hasted. Was not dual weilding ( dont get that until 17 , bah..). Finally took him down after a 4 minute and 20 sec fight and had one bub of health left, and he did not run ( probably because i was under 1 1/2 bubbles of health). When i parsed my log i found out why, the stupid dino had 758 hit points! So I would suggest either having a weapon that does more dmg than mine (4/25 +2 poison) or have some kind of DoT to make the fight a lot shorter. Have killed him 3 times, all have been equivalent fights, he dropped the fang every time, have not seen the talon yet for the weapon quest, mob also drops random quality piece of rockhopper hide. Hope this helps .
