an evil eye  

i think it could have been a glitch, but i wandered up to an evil eye that was blue to me at lvl 19 and i hit it with a messenger of the queen for 28 hit points, the thing went down like a balloon. I am sure that thay must be tougher than that. It wasn't like anyone was fighting it either, there was only myself and a fellow group member in the zone and we got xp for it. 'WTF' was my reaction

anyone remeber the good ol' days when these suckas dropped the mana stones with the 33pt dmg to you plus 25 mana effect? ahh those things were great....excellent wizzie item....and i must say, if you have one, you are truly a lucky person...why did verant get rid of the manastone anyways?

Yesterday I was sitting out side the ent to runnye in Gorge of King Xorbb(or Beholder maze if thats its other name) when a evil eye floated by. This being my first char(a lvl 19 ranger) I was he coned blue to me and wasn't afraid to take him on. Ussing my ussual tactic when I solo I went to root him and pump him full of arrows. But to my suprise when I cast the root spell it killed him( he had what appeared to be full health too). Knowing this was odd I checked to see if I got exp, and I did! He had no loot on him though I guess I wasn't going to get that lucky. I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experiance, and also if I should stay away from them at 19 as I am assuming I got really lucky there!

I am a level 19 Ranger and pretty well "TWINKED". Another twinked Ranger from my guild decided to make the run to Runnyeye from HighPass Hold last night to try and get some of the 20% EXP bonus and got our butts kicked. The first time we went down into an EE room. I was dead before I could try and strike.( I guess we went down the wrong way. We had been fighting Blues and Reds for an hour or so all over the place with a druid friend and another Ranger. We couldnt get any where with this EE. My advice STAY AWAY!! It will beat you to a pulp with its DD, pet and Charm. If you think its so easy to kill go down to the second level in Runnyeye and fight it and you will be on a corpse run just like me.

evil eye optic nerves are for crafted BRACERS not pauldron like the quest link says

Don't these suckers drop the rune of dwarves? at least the ones in runnyeye? thats what it says everywhere, but not on this link for known loot. I just gotta know so i could do a quest. Does anyone know?

The level on these vary by zone. The ones in Beholder always con green to my level 28 but I still get exp sometimes. The ones in Runnyeye on the other hand con white at their lowest level. There are still some in there who con red.

I was able to solo EE and its pet with my Druid 21 at Eastern Karana, using Root and Careless Lightning.

first off lvl 17-21 "might" be the right range for this mob. But if it is, they have some realy good buffs! I have only "tryed" to kill evil eyes in runnyeye. First time in RE tryed to solo and just maid it to the zone w my life (at lv 28 i think). Then I had someone split the spawn (2 or more dazed goblins and such hang out there) and it still beat the hell out of me! My buddy (of high lv) jumped in and saved me. I have gone back to Runnyeye at lest once every lv sence then and still can not kill it by myself (31 now). Thats a diff of ten lv's ....... uh can this be right? I can understand why it should be a hard spawn cus of the items you get from it. Its just when i come here i would like to get some info on a mob thats kinda close....(other then it charms). I would say that the one in runnyeye is about lv 30.. more or less..

I say name or class these as EK, RE, MZ.. cuz, if you cant tell they are very different depending on the zone.

As for all you people who have killed evil eyes in EK at lv 27..... go up to runnyeye and fight one and come back here and post your "I just rooted him" post......... after your corpse run!

I should hav elooked here before attacking an evil eye. Well me (31st warr) and a friend of mine (22nd Wizard) had some big probs. Well we attacked the eye which unfourtunately had a pet. Well I was doing ok but my Aerrie, wizard friend, couldn't get a spell off. Then the big prob came when I was charmed, fearing the worst she ran. Now I had a Runed Bone Fork in my range slot, 1000 platinum of death flies at her and out of my pocket. The eye finishes her off but when I break charm I kill the eye. Bad day... no lewt. It sucked.

Hello, I am a Lvl. 27 warrior, I have saved, and bought, and traded my way to having some decent equipment. Better then most my lvl. Anyway, I was in a group heading to the Pass when we see the EE. So we charge. Of course the thing hate's me since I am hitting hardest. Anyway, here's the condensed version. I get charmed take out most of the party, the rest run, I finally break free, start running up the ramp, get charmed again and am forced to walk over side of Ramp and die. This sucked. So one sugestion, when running away, unless there is a pet to give you time to run, or you have SoW, run to NK, no long drops there. =)

I have been forced off the ramp 3x now, so I know what I'm talkin about.

could a lvl 20 pally solo these guys?

i dont know from experience i have had limmited contact with evil eyes. and the one time i tried to fight one i died got hit with something for upwards of 500 hitpoint of damage. CANCEL MAGIC!!! from what every one says you really dont wantto fight these things buffed any way
and cast some thing like invis in the first buff slot and then delete the effect so when they charm you its in the first slot and waiting to be canceled. i could be off here but its an idea and would simplifie things if it works

heh, i remember getting charmed. the guy made me throw most of my damage spells against a level 55 shadow knight, she resisted all of them but it was still annoying as hell to be attacking a friend
