Rhag`Mozdezh  

I soloed this gal today. Level 75 Ranger, 986 AA, 13.763 K HP, 2.710 K AC. Gear was from Ikky in GOD, and up to Vule in DODH. Disease resist was about 400. I had Dead Men Floating so not truly a solo, but I doubt that tipped the balance in my favor. I had no other outside buffs.

Rhag`Zhezum (AKA I believe Rhag 1) spawned between 14 and 22 hours after the zone came up. She is located in a room off the path to the basement on the first floor. She was an easy solo. Immediately on her death, Rhag`Mozdezh (AKA Rhag 2 I believe) spawned, along with four grey to level 75 rhags, who were in a room on the second floor, in the south west corner of the map. There was a trap in the hall way just before her room, which had serpentine curse on it being triggered. Rhag`Mozdezh didn't cast this on me that I saw, but I was thinking about other things so may have missed it if she did. Ranger spell Potameid Salve Rk II removed this on the first cast each time I got it. Rhag`Mozedzh didn't despawn in the hour or two I took to get there (lots of mobs along the way, and I went back to POK to unload loot and eat breakfast, etc.)

I cleared the four grey to 75 rhags in the room. I managed to aggro Rhag`Mozdezh in the process, but she appears to be permarooted, and since I didn't damage her, there wasn't a blessed thing she could do about it. I rebuffed, medded, and debuffed the boss a bunch of times. I got the message she is immune to changes in run speed when I tried to snare her. (Does it matter if she can't be snared?) I medded some more. Then I engaged. It was a pretty boring fight. She Rampaged, Enraged at 10%. I didn't check to see if she summoned or saw invis. I don't remember if she flurried. I got the Breath of Rhag'Mozdezh a bunch of times, and at first cured it easily with Potameid Salve Rk.II every time I tried, but she cast it frequently enough to make me stop curing it. The longest I went without getting it was about 20 seconds. I resisted it a bunch of times, but it lasts long enough that I had it for basically the whole fight. On her death I had used a few heal pots to save on mana, cliked my epic 2.0 three or four times, and used Auspice of the Hunter RK. VI once. I didn't use any discs. THe fight took about 15 minutes, and I had near full health and 50% mana left. I took a few of the spells, but most of the loot rotted.

Immediately on her death, Arch Lich Rhag`Zadune two LB to 75 rhags, and two grey to 75 rhags appeared on track. I assume that these are all on the third floor.

Soloed 70 Cleric, GoD/Anguish geared. 12.6k HP/MANA no chanter buffs

Cast Serpentine Curse on me today.

Duoed last night, 70 mage and 68 enchanter.. Very mana intensive fight, would not have been able to do it without jester replenishing my mana a couple times...

20 people...3 min fight. DoT is a pansy 1 cast of CT cured it.

We took this baddie out the other day with 10 people mostly 65's. Average gear is probably ToV HoT, LDON, Ornate mixed geared. Makeup was:

65 pally
65 ranger
65 ranger
62 monk
65 monk
65 bard
62 shaman
65 cleric
63 cleric
57 cleric

Fight was 18.5 minutes with bard playing mana song entire fight with all clerics, shaman, and pally in same group. 65 ranger was on rampage the entire fight with 1 dedicated cleric healer. Mob cannot be slowed but can be crippled. Fight took so long because none of us had shissar bane weapons and this guy mitigates your damage like a son of a gun. Next time will bring more friend and get some bane weapons so this sucka falls faster. We did not have the guards spawn on us the entire fight so I don't know what's up with them =)

Why upgrade Rhag2 when his loot is trash?

We took out this guy with the same strat as Rhag 1, we took out the adds and got the pally to stun him over and over for about 3 minutes, and also casting blind, getting him huge aggro, once he called assist all the melee hit hisback, pally got summoned a few times, but alot less healing and no deaths, pretty easy, lots of hp

Took Rhag Moz down last weekend. Not too bad, HP's took a while to knock back and his rages were a little annoying. I got killed being a bard : ) Just try to make sure MT holds aggro cuz his rages can ping pong on alot of people causing trouble. He dropped Gloves of Control, The smouldershank, The glowing orb and maybe something else for us. Easily taken down with 4 to 5 groups 55+ good people with good strategy. Not hard to get to either.

The beasties proc/curse can be cured with 2 casts of the Paladin spell Crusader's Touch.

Effect listed is wrong, its:

He dropped Song:Chorus of Replenishment last week

add the spell Moonfire to the list of drops

1) Is he a constant caster? Meaning does he attempt to cast more than he likes to swing.
2) Interrupts. Is knockback the only way to break a cast on him, or can you actually stun/mez at all. I was surprised the first time something huge took a stun even as part of an Enchanter nuke, and like to try whenever possible.
3) What does it seem he resists more? Seems after tash/malo/ro's magic and fire would be choice, but a below poster said massive debuff had him taking everything.
4) Can he heal himself or is he damage only?

Thanks ahead of time

Did him with 24 people all 58+
Rampages every 20 secs or so..not a big deal if you have a chain ch set up..worked for us with 6 clerics in CH chain and 3 to CE..a bit overpowered maybe but gave us time to ress in people while fighting as well..will agrro on debuff so be prepared for shammies/chanters/necs/druids/mages to take a death..fight lasts about 5 to 10 mins..not a hard mob considering the drops 2 X KEI.. and a nice range item for tanks (no stats as i never asked)..gluck on him:)

The only think thats realy dangerous is his rampage. What we did:

1. Debuff the hell out of him.
2. Memblur him totaly (if you assist him noone should be on his target).
3. Send in 4 warriors and one of them designated as maintank. Let the maintank build aggro, and the other warriors soak up rampage damage. Make sure to have assigned healers to the rampage-soakers.
4. Have a heal chain healing the Maintank.
5. Send in the rest after like 30 seconds, and nuke the hell out of him, basicly everything sticks (even enchanter nukes).

Spawn time on his guards is 16-20 minutes and they can be pulled by a FD monk before preping for this guy. We've taken him a few times and the drops have been beautiful.

As stated he triples for 575, rampages and is rooted (can't be pulled). Best tactic is the usual MA with a Cheal chain, all other melees fighting at close to max range (which is pretty big...he's a large mob). Don't remember if he can be slowed or not. I had no trouble sticking DoTs (both magic, and my fire resistance/ac debuff line), but after casting Ro's Smoldering Disjunction (big FR/AC debuff with minor dd) on him and stacking about 4 Winged Death on him (1500 hp DoT) I got summoned as soon as MA went down. SA picked up agro, but not before I died, so debuffing this guy can be somewhat suicidal.

As long as you can keep a Cheal chain going, this guy poses no real problem to any guild that can kill Velk/Vindi/Statue.

In addition to the above loot, he drops:

Scimitar of Oak
23 Damage 25 Delay
10 str 12 wis 50 hp 50 mana
10 save fire/cold/magic
proc: Penetrating Roots (200 dd + root)
Magic, Lore, No Drop
Druid Only

Nice drop pre-epic for druids, and I think it looks a hella lot cooler. Think this is one of his rare drops, as we've killed this guy 4 or 5 times and I've only seen one drop. He has also dropped 2 to 6 level 60 Luclin spells on every kill.

Any info on this mob could be useful for me and my guild to head there.Only post here if ya fighted it plz)
