Corruptor
# Jan 05 2003 at 4:28 PM Rating: Decent
My guild did this part 3 times the other day. The Corruptor is cake. 51 ranger and monk, and a 52 druid. We only needed 2 heals from the druid each time. Keep him rooted. Monk hits fast so he didn't get much time to get spells off. The important part is: once you do the turn in to teola you do not have to follow her to the gathering. Druids can gate. We rangers have to hike it back up the hill. Know the loc or track a party member back after you turn in to teola and you can be sitting there waiting for the spawn.

The reavers are a bit tougher. We had a full group on the reavers and most of them were mid to high 40's. Bring a bard and have the bard mez and charm one of the reavers. If you time it right then they won't have time to summon their pets and buff themselves. Out of 3 tries only one pally died. She took the HT (yes it is 551 per) and couldn't drop aggro. With a little planning this part of the quest isn't a big deal.

My guild Spawned the Corruptor today but no Reavers spawned with him... is this a bug or how it is working from now on?

the reavers spawn seperate from the corruptor, they go after the druids on the shore. No need to kill them anyway but its fun.

Foddlepiss ..

49 Beastlord and 47 Druid did this just 30 mins ago. Made sure we both had c3 and Aego (incase either of us got to close to the Reavers).

Corrupter and 2 Reavers spawned .. Beasty pet engaged Corrupter. Im a Beast with 255 wisdom .. i dont tank and i very rarely melee.. i just play healer/buffer for my pet and debuff/nuke the mobs. She tanks better than i do, and with the pet heal / player heal ratio .. lets just say *in my opinion* its worthless for the Beastlord to even try and play main tank over the pet.

Reavers dont spawn directly next to the Corrupter, and they didnt even begin to charge the druids untill after they made pets and buffed themselves. More than enough time for the druid to gate back to the Corrupter spawn and root the Reavers. Then with pet tanking (even the lvl 49 pet, buffed with only my own and the druids buffs) tanked very well, required maybe 5 heals max. We just assisted with Nukes and down he went. Very easy and fast.

Forgot to add.. :(
Corrupter did root me toward the end of the fight, so a single druid may have problems. Really not sure on the HT for 1500? The very start of the fight involved him agro'ing me and then pet engaged. But i dont remember seeing my Aego hp's drop appart from the 405 nuke he hit me with.

I don't think it will work

I don't think a couple of druids is enough to kill these guys. I think you need a full group, pretty well balanced to kill them. Perhaps two groups, one on the reavers, and one on the corruptor.

My guild tried to kill the corrputor and the reavers yesterday. There were 5 of us, mostly in the upper 40s or low 50s. A 51 Ranger tried to kill the corruptor, while the rest of us killed the reavers.

It didn't go well at all. The Corruptor HT for 1500, and the reavers hit very hard and fast. They took us all out in no time at all. We did manage to kill one pet though. 8-)

Last week, things went a bit better. We killed both reavers and their pets, but the corruptor despawned by the time we were done.

If you have only one group, then let the reavers kill the druids while you kill the corruptor instead.

HP
# Sep 21 2002 at 2:19 PM Rating: Decent
Does anyone have a very rough estimate of how much hp the corruptor, and the 2 reavers have? It seems to me that if they don't summon, a single druid could employ a text book quad kite on these guys and if they have too much hp, a second druid or a bard could finish them off. If they debuff sow, that could cause SOME trouble but its no big deal. Any reason why this sort of thing wouldn't work? : )
RE: HP
# Sep 23 2002 at 5:04 AM Rating: Decent
I'll answer my own question here, as I just took down these 3 fellows with the help of a 60 druid, a 52 druid, a 35 mage : ), and myself (52 druid).

For one thing, I would say these guys have hp in the 6k to 8k range, making quad kiting with Lightning Blast out of the question (although two druids could concievalby do this). They are not magic resistant at all, and their nukes are pretty pathetic. They don't summon either but they do have pets (only the corruptor had enough time to bring in his pet but it wasn't a problem). Easiest thing to do with these guys is to just get a few druids, root and DoT them to death. That way you can stay out of their casting range. Just my two cents : )

Corruptor is a Necromancer
Reavers are Shadowknights

The corruptor will use spells like screaming terror (18 second stun/mez), and the one that converts you into bones, plus DoTs, fear, etc. (Resists are good if you're going to do this with folks under level 50/55.)

Wandering if me a 46 druid and my lvl 60 wizard friend can take him down, he doesn't have manaburn but he has all his spells, if we cant a 52 pally should do the trick too I guess. I don't wanna have to get Faelin's ring again4 hours ugh.

Long fight but easy
# Mar 11 2002 at 10:26 PM Rating: Decent
Last night, my partner and I took them out. Partner is a 52 Druid and I am a 52 Bard. After the spawn, she snare/root/dot'd the corruptor and I charmed a reaver and had it attack the other. Once the charm came off, both were pretty mad at me and I just ran around with my Selo's with them chasing... dot'ing the whole time. Corrupter took a bit more mana than what the Druid had so I snuck in a dot here and there. Once the corruptor dropped, just turned attention to the reavers. Neither the Druid nor I was hit at all. T'was a good, simple fight, and we were able to continue the quest since the gathering never even engaged.
Any thoughts?
# Feb 07 2002 at 8:34 PM Rating: Decent
Im just curious as if a druid 51 and warrior 46 would be able to take him down fast enough.
RE: Any thoughts?

Fast enough to loot the druid epic before the Reavers make it to the NPC druids?


No.
Don't Hand In Coins Till YOur Ready to Kill
# Feb 04 2002 at 9:38 PM Rating: Default
had a bunch of people together on the way back from some other raid (3 groups 40-55- super overkill), decided to try and finish this part for 4 or 5 druid/rangers at once- reavers were easily mezzed by 52 chanter (so they could not kill druids/no wait for respawn), corrupter went incredibly easily as did the reavers- woulda worked too if we didn't stupidly all hand in our silver coins at once
/em sigh
fyi- was a de faction hit (indigo brotherhood i think)
Two 55+ druids easy kill
# Dec 20 2001 at 3:28 PM Rating: Decent
Niterune(55 druid), and I(56 druid) took down darkie with ease. We went to spot(neg 1450, neg 1k) I bound myself, and set pet to guard area(niterune waited with his pet). I completed the sequence, and gated back. When darkie popped he came right to us without reavers. We put both pets on him, snared, root, dot, and started dd's. He went down fast. I easily had time to loot tome before druids were dead... Both of our bear pets lived, and we never got touched. I had 50 mana, rune had 60 mana left. Pets were still bugged from luc update when we did this btw, so no buffs on them, and not healable. Based on all the other posts, we thought this would be a lot harder than it was...

Got him!
# Oct 27 2001 at 5:22 AM Rating: Default
45 Enchanter, 50 Druid, 49 Druid and 45 Rogue took him down last night. Twice. =)

Our tactic: The non-questing druid sits at (-1450, -2000), at the bottom of the hill. His job is to snare the reavers and kite them away as far as possible towards the bridge. Yes, he will die, but his death buys the other 3 time to kill and loot the Corruptor. This druid needs to have SoW ready to cast, because the reavers WILL dispell your buffs. Everyone buff up: SLN, Rune IV, Resist Magic, Group Chloro are a must.

The questing druid binds himself at (-1450, -1000), right at the edge of the 'crease' in the hill. The Chanter and the Rogue wait there also. (Be as close to the crease as possible so as not to aggro the reavers when you pull the Corrupter.) He procs the 4 NPCs, then gates. About 2 mins later, the DE spawns. Boon of the Garou and Alacrity on the rogue, Ensnare, Fear, nuke, nuke, nuke, loot and gate. Just watch for a Tarbul add.

We are by no means uber, so this is a totally viable tactic for those with small guilds who want to do this. Faydedar is another matter, altogether. =)

Good luck!

How on earth did the druid die? I've done this guy several times and always snare the Reavers - never died, just snare root and go finish off the corruptor. Then, to add insult to injury, kill the reavers and you dont have to wait for the druids to respawn to finish that part of the quest.

I am at the time where i need to take out the corrupter for my Druid epic, It was mentioned that the reavers will debuff, do they debuff all of your buffs or just the first few ?

After you have SoW on put some buffs on that are of no consequince. ex: see invis and breath without air. These will be the ones that get de-buffed. By the time the reavers can whittle down your buffs you should be zonning.

Please be kind and have a hot key ready to notify zone that reavers are comming to the bridge.

what are ya talking about you and your friends are in your 30's. no way you can take out 3 lvl 45's 2 with pets with wizzies, LOL that is a joke it cracks me up to hear all these lvl 30's tell high lvls how to fight believe me you dont even get in to real fight till 45ish. If you have not even been to the planes pls dont tell ppl how to take out 3 lvl 45 mobs with a couple of wizzies, wizzies are nice to have with ya believe me i love them in group i think they are overlooked too much but come on. Only fast kills with no tanks and wizzies are the wizzies getting killed.
RE: Fast Kills
# Jun 03 2002 at 6:46 AM Rating: Default
You need to learn how to read. Never once, did he say they took out the DE's. He is only saying if you want a fast kill, bring wizards. But then, we all already know that.
Not hard at all
# Oct 09 2001 at 5:51 AM Rating: Decent
Did him today... had 49 paly, 51 ranger, 46 druid, 48 monk, 52 wizard, 49 cleric, and some others. Was WAY overkill. Honestly, about 4 ice comets and this guy is about toast... as a wizard speaking, I'd say your best bet is to have 2 wizards 44+ and maybe one tank... and the druid doing the quest, and that is more than enough. If you don't have access to tanks that are 50+, seek out wizards and druids 44+, and if not, then you *might* need to be tank heavy with tanks that are 45 and under... but that's not going to get him killed quick. Best bet is to have some fellow druis or ideally wizards to drop him fast enough in my oppinion.

Just be sure to not aggro the Reavers and let them run off before engaging... this is not a hard mob at all.

Your best bet is to be tank heavy and wipe him out as fast as possible. A few nukers won't hurt either. Make sure the druid or ranger who is trying for the Tome is in the XP group or you might be SOL waiting for the loot timer to run out to allow a non-grouped person to loot. He will poof if you take too long

Can a 46 Ranger and a 52 Bard solo this guy? I'm the Ranger, and my RL friend is the Bard. We partnered in DL when I was 41, I snared, he feared, then I dotted, it was too easy. And the mobs in DL are around 45, so if we fear/snare this guy, we should be able to take him right.
easy with nukers
# Aug 24 2001 at 4:10 AM Rating: Default
I'm doing the easier parts of my Ranger epic at 41. Tonight myself, a 55 shaman, and a 52 wizard took down the Corruptor. It took all of 30 seconds. I always hear about people recommending 2 full groups but you don't need it. As long as you kill him before the Reavers get to the gathering it's fine. The Reavers will kill the druids but they respawn after a while, and that's 3 less tier'dal you have to deal with.

Thanks in advance,

RE: Can he be soloed at 45+
# Dec 10 2002 at 12:32 AM Rating: Good
Folly...

The (2) Reavers are shadowknights with a 550 HT right off the bat. They will also spawn (or immediately summon) their 2 pets. So right here is 4 mobs that you have to manage.

The Corruptor is a Necromancer, and Necro NPCs are serious undercons (he will easily stun you, fear you, dot you, nuke you while his pet beats on you).

You can kite the reavers if you want, or tank mez, or try to just root them, or mez them (take your pick). We usually stick a low 50s melee and a 49+ cleric on them (I'm a 54 cleric and I usually just tank mez one of them while the ranger runs around with the other one).

# Sep 10 2001 at 6:57 AM Rating: Default
you need to get him dead before the others kill all the druids or he will depop, need the quick kill.
RE: Can he be soloed at 45+
# Jan 22 2002 at 3:36 PM Rating: Decent
Well...what if you snared the corruptor and both reavers, and kited them all around nuking only the corruptor? Don't know how many nukes he'd take, so it may not work. But if it is possible that would keep the reavers busy chasing you instead of hitting the druids, giving you time to kill and loot the corruptor (and giving you time to turn in the tome if you're fast enough).

Yes, it does lower Neriak factions
# May 03 2001 at 11:08 PM Rating: Good
If you assist in the killing of the Corruptor, you will lose Neriak factions. I have a Dark Elf Necro friend who has assisted guildmates in killing him 3 or 4 times, he is now dubious in Neriak. So I am assuming, that it's a HUGE hit to faction for DE's. As a wood elf, doesn't matter much to me.

FYI, one of the easiest ways to kill is to have a necro fear him and reverse kite him.

Like to add 2 points to your last comment.
1)Druids can fear kyte also. A major over looked spell is starshine. as long as you are not near the mob it will flee like it was feared. (it is an aoe blindness spell wich will aslo affect you if too close)
2)Kyting is ok but make it fast. you dont have to much time before he despawns. once the druids are killed by the reavers the coruptor will despawn no mater what. thats why its good to have the power to take him down fast.
Dark Elf faction?

I'm just wondering if a Dark elf can help kill this guy. I want to help my Wood elf druid wife with her epic, but I'm a DE warrior. If I help her kill this guy will it mess up my faction?

Yes, but not TOO bad, and you can repair it pretty easyily, Yegek`s Test, Part 1 is the quest to do to repair the faction hit.
