A black behemoth of a warrior the Black Reavers are the elite guard of the lords of the City of Mist. They have been said to drop Jade Reavers. Mind that once you kill one, another directly pops from the corpse. After the fifth or sixth of them Lord Rak'Ashiir spawns.
They hit in the mid hundreds and are known to be immune to magic-based attacks and all slows.

1 group of mid to upper 50's. try not to get any more than that or youll end up getting wiped.. that was my experiance anyway. had 14 people show up, not a single jade reaver dropped, some idiot pulled what seemed like the whole zone, and wiped us all.
after we all got rezzed, everyone that i invited to go that wasnt in my guild, left... we decided to give it another shot with a guild only group, and owned the zone, i got my jade reaver 2nd spawn cycle.
as far as hp and hitting power, im guessing around 5-6khp and hit for 200 max, pretty weak if you ask me =)

Our guild went to CoM for 2 reavers for rangers, and first kill looted a jade Reaver!
Next Pull, yielded a train of 139 Black Reavers and 11 more Jade reavers. We had several high level tanks and were dropping them in 30 seconds or less, also clearing room pops for almost 2 hrs. then suddenly...no more. No deaths except for one of the rangers during exit of zone. Always seems to be the case :)
Fellow Elders, well done and I salute you!

Heh, we must have come in right on your coat-tails.
Our group of 14 people camped in the corner off the right side of the castle. We had no rogue, so we had to play targetting tricks to pull the reavers out. First pull was done with Eye of Zomm through the from door. Next 4 came in a bunch by sic'ing a cleric hammer pet on the closeest a_black_reaver. The last reaver was the one on the island overhead. We got him targetted with a /pet attack command, but the pet could not run up to get him. One of our clerics chain-cast Pacify on him until it ticked him off. He then left his building, but pathed back-and-forth across the gap in the walkway just outside. That was enough line-of-sight for our Necro to land vexing mordania on him, and he popped down to us at that point.
That 6th reaver was the one that chained: 58 reavers total over the next 45 minutes. They dropped 4 Jade Reavers, and a mess of 50+ research components. Most notable: we got 2 copies of Words of Agony, the rare words needed for the necro Dead Men Floating (group) spell. Our necro was very happy!

When fighting the reavers yesterday my nukes were useless... my 600ish nuke was only doing 40 so I just stacked up on the DoTs it took 2 or 3 casts before it would stick, except splurt. But it was worth it, let me get 4 dots on him and then you tell me spell casters are useless agianst them.

Shards of Chaos on FV took down 103 black reaver spawn today, with 8 Jade Reavers to show for it. Very fun!

Our guild on Quellious just got 180 reavers in one go and 17 jade reavers, we were killing the reaver in the tower and were the only people in the zone, whether this made any difference or not I have no idea but it took a few hours to get through all the reavers! Was fun though :)
Edited to add we have logs to prove it as well - just in case of non believers :)

When a black reaver dies, it is possible for another one to spawn. I'm killing them right now and so far this is our 16th repop on this reaver alone.
That's how you get more than 6 =)

Had 84 in a row on June 6th on Druzzil Ro for The Reverie.
We got 3 JR's during the chain pop.
We fought for around 90 mins straight.
Walked away with 6 JR's from a 5 hour raid.

Ok,
Did CoM raid last night.
Spawn time on Black Reavers is reportedly 2 HOURS.
The resist like fiends.
You don't have to have 5-6 in a row spawn to get Lord Rak (I -know- this, because we killed one, then it's follow up, and third was Lord Rak. Another we pulled the Black Reaver spawned Lord G, we got -another- Lord G after a 2 Black Reaver, and yet another Black Reaver got us Neh' after just 2 Reavers.)
Black Reaver -> Lord Ghiosk
Black Reaver -> Black Reaver -> Lord Rak'Ashiir
Black Reaver -> Black Reaver -> L G
BR -> BR -> Neh'Ashiir
We didn't get any insane "100 BR chains" and indeed got FEW third spawns at all.

For a minute I thought we might have had some kind of record. Last friday we had a 96 spawn chain on Morell-Thule. 2h15m of continuous fighting. We only got 1 Jade Reaver in all that fighting though. Fortunately, we had 2 from the first 10 we killed and was just doing this last guy on the way out. Well, the Fayedar roast was delayed while we fought this. :)

The key to successfully taking down a chain of Black Reavers is persistence, hotkeys, and a good team.
I have been to CoM several times while working on my shaman epic and the raids have been a bust or a boon depending on how well the raid is organized.
For the Black Reavers, you need tanks and healers. Plain and simple. These bad boys (which look like a black version of the Michelin tire guy) are almost completely magic resistent. However, it has been my experience that once they fall below a certain health percentage (approx. 33% health left), they can be tashed and then nuked by wizards (where Ice Comet seems to work well).
You have to get into the castle to fight the BRs, so grab your favorite rogue with a 200 lockpick skill and head into the zone (Note: a bard cannot pick the lock).
When the door is open, pull the mobs out of the building one-by-one until it is clear. If you try to raid the first room in the building, your casters will aggro the add mobs and will quickly die. Be safe and take the few extra minutes to pull until you clear.
Once in the building get your tanks on one side of the room, your casters on the other and have your puller grab the nearest BR. If he is in the room already, clear the other mobs then have the tanks attack while the casters get to one side.
VERY IMPORTANT - The Black Reavers blind. A lot. If they touch you, even once, you are in trouble. So, make sure that your tanks are grouped with someone who can cure blindness (a shammy is good for this because slows won't work and they can cure blindness and do spot heals). Have your tanks create a hotkey that shouts "I am blind. Help me!" On the three raids I have done in CoM, I have burned through a full bar of mana just doing nothing but casting cure blindness. Do not underestimate the importance of doing these. Your tanks will thank you greatly if you keep their vision up.
A tracker will also be helpful because the reavers can spawn anywhere in the castle.
Also, you will get ridiculous chain spawns of Black Reavers. My last raid encountered chains of 5, 7 and finally 11, before we were just ready to evac and get out (we got our reavers and had been there for six hours).
The reavers are not difficult to kill, it is just a long melee fight. Your casters can be quite helpful in keeping the added mobs down to a minimum.
Just follow some common sense rules vis-a-vis what the black reavers do and adjust your groups accordingly.
Trust me, if you get a long chain spawn of reavers, you will be giggling as each new one spawns, but your druids and reavers will be thankful.
Have fun!!

Just returned from raid on AB with a 27 mass reaver chain before stop. Interestingly enough we got 3 Jade reaver drops from chain which was exactly enough for the 2 Druids and 1 ranger on raid.
Mass chain was from the back reaver in the room accessed via the lift.

On Solusek Ro 1AM Eastern time Tuesday 18 Feb... I thought the mass reaver chains were a myth, we had been getting only singles for over 5 raids... Our last pull netted a 70 reaver chain that dropped 8 reavers. I'm gonna go with a 1:10 drop ratio on the Jade Reaver... thats probably close to accurate and could explain why entire nights never net a reaver.

well another day down and still no reavers had a 22 chain spawn, 14 chain spawn, and a 4 chain spawn. been hunting here for 3 days non stop over 50 hours just in COM and still no reavers what a waist of my time Verant!!!!!
It has been my expirance that you have a 1:2 chance of getting a JadeReaver to drop per spawn of the black reaver. So of the 6 normaly spawned reavers they will drop 1 for every 2 complete cleaning. you usualy will get one Reaver who will spawn Lord G. and one for Lord Rak on the lower 5 reavers. The one up in the tower will always spawn the lady and will drop the Jade Reaver as well.
Its a mater of odds, just keep killing.

Ok been on 2 raids here in 2 days and killed over 50 reavers i bet and no drops WTF!

a 65 mage friend and i 61 cleric soloed the reavers without a flaw. he used eye of zoom standing at the door targeted the reaver casted on him to pull. we just healed and dsed pet. and some lucky level 50 shammy in the zone got his epic piece. but not one jade reaver =/ better luck next time hehe
When a black reaver dies, another reaver or a named ghost can spawn instantly in the place where it died.
I just finished a hunt of these black reavers. We were killing one chain for over an hour, it spawned 77 black reavers (that I logged, might have missed a few while I was killing adds) and we got NINE jade reavers.
Lots of fun !

Last night we went to the City of Mist for my shaman Epic (i had to kill Lord Ghiosk who pop from reavers).
We engaged 1 reaver who chain respawn...67 (yes, sixty seven) times, all this started from a single reaver !
Lord Ghiosk spawned on the 5th reaver, along with a new reaver. I went there with 10 people from guild, all lvl 55 to 65. From those 67 unstoppable respawn chain, we only had a single member who died around the 30th reaver.
So be warned that when you pull a single reaver you can, in fact, pull an entire chain (thought they will come 1 by 1). Also notice that the reavers are unslowable and resist all spells requiering a resist check. The reavers also have the abilty to blind and it will happen at least once each fight on each people meleing them. For your information, we looted 7 Jade Reavers out of this 67 reavers chain and 1 Shimmering Partisan. Even if they usualy dont respawn more than 4/5 times, keep this info in mind for your futur raids in the CoM.

Just got done with a run there that had, off one Reaver, 92 spawns. We had 7 Jade Reavers drop, a few spells, and a Shimmering Partisan. Followed it up by getting a Torch of the Elements to drop as well incredibly. All in all it was a amazing experience to be a part of.
