P 4815.0000, 1190.0000, -437.6756, 127, 0, 0, 1, Stix
After drawing agro, Stix runs in a circle to where all the groups of bandits in the area set, Bandits can be cleared before engaging Stix but, you still have to chase him through the whole area.
Got feared like 5 times during the fight and the fight went on a long while then he just died no loot no nothing. not gonna fight mobs that fear its just plain stupid. him and the stupid scarecrow.
I dont know what that critter does but it is really nasty to see that the tank merc simply makes a small smooth walk after all seemed more than well. And he walked around, to the pacified fellows of Stix, and all thought - hey we could kill the merc tank and his group and joined in a nice train party to wipe us to hell.
Looked like a kind of fear or something like that.
98 BL 6k ac Max CA/CS all other defensive for my level. Decided to pull this guy just to see what named were all about for the new xpac. Set up camp just South of the bandit camp Stix is located in. Pulled with 98 Bard also max defensive 6.7k ac. Didn't have time to pop any abilities and glad I didn't waste the time. j5 Tank merc engages and is immediately dropped to 20% than poofs. Fade on Bard and FD on Beast before anything else goes down. Managed to get clubbed by Stix on Beast a second before FD, hit for 19,773 2x. Wish I could give more info on this guy, good hunting all.
