a black reaver
Monster
Uploaded July 24th, 2007
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.

We were killing them, almost 2 FGs, including 4 tanks, wizzy, 3 clerics, enchanter and me being 48 lvl necro, and i was lowest in there. Those guys resisted all my lifetaps and other dots, including unresistable lifetap dots such as vampcurse. I saw one yellow reaver, so they are as low as 51 lvl, proc. unresistable blinding luminance (i had 155 mr and still he summoned and blinded me for several seconds). I heared some past 50 wizzy and enchanter spells can get though their resists, and myself i`m gonna try splurt and the like spells as i level up further and go there again:>

Had one con blue to me, lvl 51, another con even . . . so guessing the above levels are a little high.

Well, I can say first-hand that the auto-respawn is either false, or has been changed.
I was in a reaver raiding party, and we were able to pull mostly single reavers (some had one or two friends). I tried sever spells on them, but was completely resisted on everything, this includes: Poison, Disease, and Drain Soul. When the reavers fell (we did this without losing one person in our three groups), either a lord, or a phantom would spawn. We were able to kill the first lord (who dropped a M.O.S.S.), but where not able to kill the second. The second lord had the nastiest AE DOT I have ever seen (It killed me in one tick), and we had a bad train setting up for him.
Of the four or five reavers we dropped, not one dropped anything at all.

One of these agroed on me with four Ghost buddy by his side. Needless to say, our 3 groups (with many casters) did not even finish him off since he had all the helpers. We all died. :(

You know what you casters can do when you pull the Reavers? Kill the adds. They don't hit very hard, and most caster classes can solo anything in that zone other than Reavers and Lords.

i have saw them respawn upto 13 times before the lord spawned, and for those who dont know, When a black reaver dies another black reaver or the lord spawns at where it died

They can be affected by Lure. I did consistently 640 dmg on both Reaver and Lord after them, with WIZ Lure of Frost spell.

When someone says a mob has got 100% magic resist it doesnt mean it can resist ALL spells only MAGIC based spells!!!!! DONT FORGET THEY ARE 5 DIFFERENT KINDS OF SPELLS MAGIC POISON DISEASE COLD FIRE. Mobs like guller back gargoyles and this other fat black thing will resist all MAGIC they are still susceptible the the rest of the four kinds and all magic casters have some of those(expcept enchanters which have no use but the crack dealing against these).
Black reavers resist ALL normal spells. ONLY Lure or Unresistable spells will land on these guys.
I personally casted every type of spell on a reaver to test this and out of 100 casts of each type NOTHING landed.
I retried after casting an unresistable disease debuffer and still resisted 100% of the time at lvl 54.
You can't touch these guys with spells unless you are a wiz or have similar spells to lure. Also Gullerback is a puss compared to this guy. At least gullerback doesn't resist poison and disease spells.
You might be able to cast on this guy if you get within melee range but it would be so hard to kill a reaver this way that you would probably die from interruptions or his blindness proc.
Again, if you are on a reaver hunt, and you don't have lure type spells, don't even bother casting. I'm flat out telling you that they will get resisted 100%.

Life taps as well, I saw the green spell go up, but no "beams a smile" stuff, and the necro didn't gain hp.. so it was resisted. (necro also got the resist line). They have been buffed up since kunark has come out, they have a chance to blind each hit, and have a lot of hp. If you wanna kill these guys, you gotta have someone who can single pull (after the first reaver, you will have to pull a room with 4 aggroing reavers, you need a monk or something like a monk) a few (yes few, if your cleric>s< are doing their job) and a lot of melee dmgers (monks rogues necro pet magician pet). The most they have ever respawned on my groups is 4 times, then the lord spawns right after. Being unprepared for the "pull", we killed the 4 reavers (by the end of the 3rd, two clerics were dead as well as 1/3 of the people there) then the lord spawned.. with only me, and a rogue left :) we died extremely quick and the CR wasn't as bad with the rogue.

Yes, they're unable to be effected by normal spells. Two caveats, tho - didn't have a necro along when we tried one, so don't know if they're immune to taps. Also, I have heard they can be effected by Lure line of wizards, but haven't had that confirmed.

It has been rumored that these are 100% magic resistant. Can anyone confirm this? I have fought a couple with my guild but am too low to judge for myself.
