This was the mob that kept me from my hunter achievement the longest. He is not in any of those old places. He's actually to the East of the King room, with all the other nameds. He is the only Goblin Earth Seer in the room. I swear I've killed that PH 20 times, but he never spawned, even during double rare events. I just had to camp out a ranger, and wait him out.
I have been camping him for the past week on my level 80 bard trying to get the Sword of the Bloodsworn. He spawned today 3/29/12, 9:50pm est. Dropped the Rarer item the greatsword which is funny enough the one I didn't want. Anyways he didn't spawn on the bridge he spawned in the room to the left of the castle past the invised wall where alot of other names spawn. Edit* Sword of the Bloodsworn dropped for my as of last night! Same room as last time, not on the bridge.
This guy stands alone on the second floor of the castle. Though running around will get you adds I'd say he's pretty easily soloable by any class that can take hits from a mob this level (ie.- if you're a caster grab HP buffs perhaps, rogue can't do it obviously, etc) provided you have high resists. I charm solo him often - note Charm, as in I don't actually take the hits, so may be biased in my opinion. One of the easiest targets in the zone in terms of crowd controlling but power-wise he's a bish.
Depredators spawn around him like mosquitoes! As previously stated they're pretty easy to avoid, but they're immune to lull. If your MR isn't superb and you aggro one of these you're pretty much a goner unless you keep it mezzed. I'm not sure if they HT but they do cast fear and it lands often. I went all out on MR buffs tonight but got maloed by this guy's PH and was forced to use a depredator as a pet for once. When charm broke he cast fear immediately and I was Literally sent sprinting from one side of the zone to the other. When it wore off, insta-death.
In conclusion, high resists, good buffs, and you should be fine. If you're not a gating or rooting class I wouldn't try it. For anything outside of an enchanter, which is best at saving their own butts, I can see this getting ugly very fast. To the Wizard? Use Manaburn and save yourself a heart attack. :) Droga's stressful just in general.
Came by here on my 65 druid checking for named, killed the Magic Adept Xabok and got the BP and went to seer. PH was up so i killed him and in 20 mins this guy spawned with the 1hs so go me!
~UPDATE~ Well ran to bank and put sword on my trader went back killed 1 ph and he spawned with it again yay 2 in one day!

Plz respond i'm getting very impatient about this since nobody seems to want to put in the info this site is about. I dont care if you soloed it at level 1 ( i'm being obnoxious)

For those of you casters (besides necro's) that fear you will need a group force to take this mob down.. you dont.. Get a rune/dmg absorb buff, load up your nukes, snare, and cancel magic invis in and you're ready to go. You dont need to clear the area. This mob can be singled out without lulling or pacifying or any of that nonsence.
If you havent noticed the aggro range in this zone is beautiful. You can root/snare mob, nuke, reroot, rerune/absorb, nuke again.. for the unlikley chance that he malo's you keep top spell slot open and cancel magic on it.. It's very easy =)
I with a few guildies made an attempt at this campand let me tell ya...it's no walk in the park. We were all above 55, seasoned players, and still had half a group die before we could evac. There are so many spawns and such a short timer on em that to me it seems almost impossible to be able to get to the PH before you get aggro again...even with pacifying. I wouldn't suggest trying to attempt this camp without A LOT of DPS and a chanter that's at least 62 for mezzes. That's just my opinion based off my experiences. Take it for what it's worth.
just a little extra for those that are giving a wack at this room...the regular earth seers have some mean dot's and rain spells that kill ya REAL fast.
Just keep in mind that there's a HUGE difference between a 55+ group, a 60+ group, and a lvl 65 solo'ing druid. Clearly, as all the posts suggest, if you don't want adds and you're sub-60, bring along a chanter.

All prices are falling like I have never seen before. Prices fall after a expansion, this is the 1st time before one comes out. The 1 hdr can be bought for 6K.

Posted:Aug 20 2003 at 4:24 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ima 65 warrior all AA all PoTime gar and elemental and i can solo here with virtue, FoS(7), good regen, and SoV. Much more easier to ge out if u bring a porter or a healer.
How hard does this guy hit and about how many hp does he have.
What im basically tryin to find out is if a EXTREMELY well geared and aa'd druid can solo him
I have 400 aa and full elemental gear with 7400 hp buffed and all resists over 250 unbuffed.
Think i have a reasonable shot at this guy?
hang on here a sec. you have 400 AAs and 7.5k hp buffed. this makes me think that perhaps ur in an uber guild(dont tell me ur not, theres no way you could get kitted up so well without one). why the hell would you want to even go into this zone? surely nothing in this zone is an upgrade and if you want an upgrade you have an uber guild to back you yp and go into some hard *** zone and get something much better. i suppose you might want to do it for fun but even then im sure you could find a harder zone to have fun in.
How about if he was even that high? Or how about if he wanted to twink and alt surly he has over 200k to use cause wars always get an boost in DKP. (Most guilds on my server do)
