ppl who are hunting faction or pelts from the othmirs wont accidentally kill the quest Othmir unless they tag it directly. Its on a diff faction and I pull all the othmirs on the beach into a huge pile and do aoe songs to kill em but the quest othmir never aggros and so stays alive.
Once the mage triggers the event just swim straight out from the shore about 200-300m and Tikno will be there waiting.
Im not sure if hes perma rooted, but he casts soo soo much that he never moves basically. I helped out on this event twice. The first time a monk and I swam out to him and he was almost dead before the mage caught up with us.
I resisted everything and its true that Tiko resists a lot of spells but is very weak to melee dmg.
The 2nd time I arrived first and had him to 50% before anybody else got to him. Both times I had no need for heals although Iused a HOT potion on the 2nd time because I was tanking it alone.
The fight should last about 30 seconds, and if you bring a group of ppl with you to help, some of them might miss it since it ends so fast. Literally.
I soloed this guy today. No cleric no anything :) 75 mage self buffed. only thing i had a normal 75 mage wouldn't is one of the SoF pet kits. buffs were all mine. only healed pet about 4 times and nuked it twice.
he hit about max 350 MAYBE 400 and he is slow. conned green to 75 so yeah prolly lvl 56. i resisted all his spells but the stun spell and same went for pet. he dropped fast. prolly one of the easiest things about the 1.5 right here... to make up for the Tactics Flag rip off...
Ok this mob is a joke guys..... gf(70 cleric)..70 monk and me killed him very fast... I'm pretty sure a well playing mage could solo him too. Wont trouble you with info on his hits/spells..he was very easy and if you want to be sure just grab a healer friend and go kill him.
We killed this with 5 ppl, a 67 pally, 61 clr, 69 clr, 65 chanter and me lvl 70 mage.
He aint hard just annoying AE which makes you stun and spinn around.
We wasnt sure where he spawned so we swam around looking for him and the 61 clr got aggro and tanked him till i was there and could CoH the rest. Dont think we ever got slow off but he was dead pretty quick and with 2 healers on the pally it wasnt hard at all so i finally got the Elemental Essence of Water =)
He spawns in the water north of the High Priest. close to the hole to where you zone into SG
Max hit for 377, and not on defensive. Couldnt land Malosina. Slow didnt land, so not sure if it will stick. Did it with 1 group consisting of Magician, Shaman, Warrior, 2x Cleric, wizard
