a bulthar  

I can easily solo these bulthars. I'm a lvl 51 necro, and using my pet as tank. When pulling from a fully spawned group, i root the adds, and pull my mob to a save distance to loose the aggro from the adds.

These Ulthorks drop various gems that sell for roughly 25 pp at a merchant.

Happy hunting!!

Got a non-stackable meat, walrus meat, off one today. Nothing listed in quests for it, or on any other site. Anyone have a clue what it is for?

Also, got a druid spell, Circle of Wakening Lands from one, later the same day. So, he has new drops not listed above. Have also gotten quest gems from him, mainly flawed ones, a few imperfect ones, and normal gems as well. Plus the standard vendor trash, rings, research pages / runes, etc.

As lvl 55 wiz with KEI I quadkited 3 of them today for the first time. Used pillar of lighting. Gave me almost a third blue. They have low resist, are quite aggresive, but when collected and snared its np. Without KEI I would have been doomed. I got 245 int with KEI and about 700 extra manapool. But yes, they have a load of hp /. Took me about ten minutes, but was nixe xp.

54 druid here on Sullon Zek , about 215 wis with Kei and my wis gear set up. Quad these but you MUST have KEI. Good Exp just Harmony the Heard Leader as he cannot be snared.

I'm a 51 wiz. I ported in to find one of these waiting at the portal. Someone must have trained him there, and he appeared to already have been snared. He aggroed on me. I had full mana (2674), kited and burned the full bar of mana using Draught of Fire (648hp a pop for 215 mana). I could only bring the sucker down to 40 health before running out of mana and fleeing to Skyshrine.

I'm a 54 necro and I had very poor luck with these at 52. I can take them down without a problem at 54 (with jboots or SOW or course) once I get them broken (which can be tricky). But I was not impressed overall as others here have stated.

I usuall pull with splurt or Bond of Death (depending if I'm low on health or not) and then run towards the sandy area and put enstill down. They resist enstill sometimes, but not often. Because I always try to prevent my pet from doing more than 1/2 the damage (so he doesn't steal half of the experience), I usually root/DOT until they are at about a half and then fear kite with pet. So after I enstill I drop cascading darkness (which is only resisted about 5% of the time or so), ignite blood, splurt if I haven't already and BoD if I'm at least 500 HPs below max. They have a descent PR and DR so I don't bother with any of those DOTs and it doesn't seem worth it to spend the 200 manna on debuffing them. Besides, I med up while he's taking damage.

Usually, enstill wears of 1st and I pet and fear. Next cascading darkness drops and I usually hit them with dooming darkness to save manna and casting time. These guys reverse direction every time they are hit so I haven't had any run out of casting range when feared with no snare. Also, I redo splurt once it wears off and try to let the 2nd splurt and ignite blood run it's course before allowing my pet to finish them off (to make sure that I get full xp).

But alas, cascading darkness, ignite blood, Bond of Deatha dn 2x Splurt takes them to about 45% or so. That's about 5500 damage which means that they have around 10k HPs. I got a coral cresent and a chipped onyx saphire out of about 24 kills or so (herdleader never poped). based on the amount of time it took for each kill and the xp/loot I got, I would say there are better things to hunt.

ME and 2 others a druid and a warriro killed those for hours and heardleaeder too.

We had a lvl 51 chanter 51 druid and 51 warriror.

Startegy : Bulthars druid starts the show with snare , Chanter engage with tash and get hit 1 time then his pet aggro /ofcourse with dagger in the hand delay 20 and double hits for 52 and with swift)

Then chanter cast fear and then the fun is beginning hehe druid maybe thhrow a single nuke/dot and warrior just melee and chanter just keep the mob feared. 1 min later bulthar is dead.

For the heard leader did the same just without snare (wont stick) But that was a tough fight but really fun.

They are easily the nastesty mobs in CS except for the dragon they always seem to stick together and wack on the same person litterally a herd and they just run like hell across the zone killing everone

Being a level 58 druid I use 3 winged death,3 breath of ro and many free drones of doom from ES bracer....just keep them rooted
Mogge Treestump....EMarr

OK these guys dont hit that hard and are slow but have huge huge amount of hp< me being a 50 mage and another 52 mage tried to kill one of these took about 8 mins or so with 6 earth pets..chain casting and took him out and they have a small agro range but very agresive(sp) if your a mage dont dd it just chain pets on it and you will have np killing it this is surely a mob to use tanks healers with otherwise just waste mana. just my 2 cp's

I think the rest of the posts have the HP's on these guys a little low, I would put it closer to 9-10K. Using Elder Spiritist Vambraces (clickable 450 point DoT), I can take out of these down pretty easy using root and then the free DoT. Takes a good 15 minutes to kill one using this method, but if you harmony pull them and have the patients to wait out your DoT's it's pretty easy to run them into the groud.
Supposedly the result of handing in two bulthar trunks to the Othmir Chief got you a pretty nice spear, however, when I did the quest I got a whopping black pearl. Needless to say I wont waste my time again.
