corrupted brownie  

Got the corrupted last night and killed the little guy with me (lvl 60 druid) and 55 bst. We didn't have time for a protracted camp, so we would just log in, kill 3 or 4 cycles of spawns, then log and try again later. Got the tainted on the third round of spawns on the third attempt.

Some things to note: the scouts do indeed spawn at loc 0,0 and they will wander back to their spawn point. We would camp at 0,0, buff up and just wait for the little guys to come back home, so to speak. Within a few minutes, each would return and we'd kill em. I think this was actually faster than using track to clear them. However, be warned that one might be there when you log in, so be ready to root and have wolf form mem'd so you won't get multiples if another wanders back while fighting. After wanderers are cleared, they will spawn in on top of you at loc 0,0. Just pick em off.

Also, because the spawn time is around 15 minutes, it's a rather boring camp. I stayed in wolf form, but the bst didn't use it until the tainted spawned. That way, if we were afk briefly and a brownie spawned, it would jump the bst and his pet would start whacking it and we wouldn't miss the spawn.

Finally, when we got the tainted, I DID wolf form the bst. After we killed the tainted and started on the corrupted, another scout spawned in but ignored us, which was nice. Not that it would have made a huge difference. Bst + pet both tanked tainted and corrupted back to back, I never healed and we ended the fight with pet at full health and bst at 60%.

Final note on tained/corrupted - they didn't cast anything - not one spell. Corrupted summoned, but it didn't matter, because he summoned bst and bst was meleeing anyway. I just snared and dot'd the tained (just one cast of winged death) and did the same to the corrupted. Only additional thing I did was chain nuke the corrupted with Moonfire. Every cast hit for full damage.

So, all and all, the tainted/corrupted sounded scarier than they really turned out to be. Good luck and bring a meleeing friend if you can - makes it a cakewalk!

Funny thing about this "druid." When me and my 52 pally friend, me being 53 at the time, went to kill this guy, I only saw him cast one spell. The only time he cast was while we were medding up after killing the tainted, I wonder what was going thru his head when there were two wolves staring at him.

Anyways, the only thing he cast was Skin like Wood on himself. WTF! That is a lvl 1 spell!

All in all a very easy kill. Sadly the pally died in the encounter, mainly a communication problem.

Was camped here for the second time and hope see corrupted pop. (spend last time 3 hours and half to kill all scout and no corrupted spawned)

Me (druid 54) and a friend wizzy 63, was KEI'ed, and buffed, well, tainted spawn Woow cool! Both of us was Fom, so let's do it !

Hehe, Snare, root, Dot, then a good Root/nuke synchro...,BUT, dont forgot that there is 3 pop times !! So when we were on the corrupted one, the second tainted poped, and a third Scout, even they are quite simple to kill but, when u have a corrupted who summon you, a tainted that u need keep rooted and NOT KILL to not get 2 corrupted ! this damn lil scout give you big trouble , attack u when u run away from summon , interrupt your cast and HIT you, even not terribly hard but HIT you !

So, corrupted was at 27% HP when we two was at about 15% ..,so we start to run as far as we can an finally stop be summoned for a little..,at the end, mmm /sigh /sigh another druid 59 comes help us, then she get summoned as well and been in trouble, then a chanter 63 comes help us too, and when she arrived, 2/3 of us read that : Returning to home point, please wait...
Loading, please wait...
+ for both
Welcome to lvl 53, You LOST your Level 54 !
Welcome to lvl 62, You LOST Your Level 63 !

So, 3 body, (cause wizzy dead 2 times in 2 minutes), corrupted and second tainted finally depoped, lost exp and so much desapointement... !!
So 20 min to find body, rez and rez and rez and.... bah grrrr

>AND WHY ?
>>>DO NEVER PULL UR CORRUPTED BROWNIE NEAR SPAWN CAMP ! DONT FORGOT THEY SPAWN BY 3 !!! <<<

/sigh /sigh

Myself a level 58 druid and two friends of mine a level 55 and 53 druid got this guy to spawn twice in lesss than an hour. Myself being the higher of the three rooted snared and dotted him to take the agro. When he summoned me I just used my scoraie as often as I could between interuptions while the other two druids pummeled him with fire, and kept me alive with heals. All in all an easy kill. He spawns at location 0 . 0 .

was on sat. working on epic for druid, and it must have been druid epic day on TM , was actually going to do the deepwater in LoIO, however they where camped, I got this one as a group was pulling out. took about 2 hours for the spawn to pop. easy kill, had 58 mage with epic pet though, so that is why it was easy I would bet. sat in the middle of the zone, I forget the loc. sorry, but it did spawn, 16 min. timer on the Ph's.

I solod him at level 58. The key is to KEEP HIM ROOTED. He will summon you about every 8 secononds. This gives you enough time to get 1 or 2 clorblasts off or 1 dot. I usually healed about every third summon. Kept him doted and he went down after about 6 minutes.

Refresh root about 3 and a half minutes into the fight.

If your too low root wont last and your gonna be in troble. When he died, I had 30 percent mana left. 233 wiz with KEI on but lots of + mana items

Wizards above level 55 are often found soloing this mob as yet another means of leveling solo to 60. One of THE most boring experiences you will ever have, but for our class, it is a common means of getting there. You can read about various ways in which wizards solo this guy on Graffe's site. Long thread of posts there on their ez-board forum describing the camp, so if you are a high level wizzy looking to take a break from quad kiting Raptors in TM or whatever, this guy may be an alternative for you.

My Druid, was lvl 41 at the time, and was invited to go along with a higher lvl druid, of lvl 50. We had one Paladin, at lvl 47, and a Necro friend came along out of boredom. The necro was lvl 54. For the corrupted, Druids snared and dotted, Necro feared it, and the Paladin tore it to pieces. The necro only had to cast fear twice, and the Paladin only got hit for a few hundred HP's during the fear breaks. Very easy if ya got a Necro to fear it.

Was walking through LF earlier this month when I got a tell from a Druid looking for help with this part of his Epic. We medded 'til FM and the Druid pulled with Snare and DoTs; then I sent in my Fire pet and nuked a few times since I couldn't handle the aggro. The Brownie ended up going after the poor Druid exclusively and eventually killed him, but my pet ended killing the Brownie. The Druid looted the Epic and thanked me profusely.
The Druid mentioned that he couldn't be soloed and I believe him (and the rest of these posts). Never saw the Brownie summon since we never really fled and I didn't get attacked more than once or twice from the Brownie so I don't know how tough he is.
Not exactly helpful, but...

When you enter Lesser, hunt down the 3 wandering scouts and kill then. Thereafter, camp at approx p10,p10 where each of the 3 PH's will spawn about very 15 minutes. The PH's, tainted, and corrupted do not drop brownie parts. The other brownies in zone do drop the parts.

Camped this guy at least 2-3 times a week for upwards of 4 hours for the last month. Finally Aug 6, after we'd camped him about 90 minutes, the tainted spawned. Easily took him down with a 60 druid and 60 mage with epic pet. In between spawns, we ran over to the fort on the Northwest wall and killed the brownie guards for minor experience and brownie parts.

About 45 minutes after we got the drop, I gated out of KC where we are camping VSR, forgetting my gate was set in Lesser Faydark. About 5 minutes later, the tainted spawned again.

I'm a LvL 60 Druid on MT and I tried to solo the Corrupted Brownie. All went well until he started summoning me over and over, about 4 seconds between each summon. Since when does a Druid (NPC or otherwise) get summoning ability?

Well, each summon would break my cast and I had little chance to get spells off while this hard hitting fellow was on me.

In the end I tried to gate but that failed too. Seems like a tank is the only way to take this mob.

I will try him another day with a LvL 60 Ranger buddy.

Ok, this is it.. just did it and it was easy, surprisingly easy. ALL you need is a necro, or ranger i suppose. All i had was a 55 necro, and me, a 55 Druid, and we did it no problem at all. My suggestion would be get a c3 just to help speed the process of killing the scouts, which are easily soloable by a 55 druid.. i was soloing them for about 30 min all by myself till the necro got there. Winged death and breath of ro and their dead, and for the tainted/ corrupted, just fear kite them, pull with annul magic then snare, then fear, with pet wacking away, and dot, it was easy. Now i know all you other druids out there can do it so get off your butts, get a necro friend, and get this piece of your epic done. Gluck
