brownie scout  

perhaps they limited them more recently? As a 55th druid (Fennin Ro), I solo'd perhaps 12 of them (never more than 5 in one stretch).

In my doing so, I found them to have a reasonable spell distance, as I stopped medding to full mana in between, and would root & dot, and move out a ways out of his nuking range, and continue to med, though perhaps he was oom by this time? I remember one time where I moved back into range and we both nuked each other, but that part is rather hazy.

I have taken several of them to 0 mana. With magic & fire resist at about 130 (including selfbuffs) and cloroplast on myself, they were never able to more then 3 health of damage to me before they ran out of mana.

They can still cast some form of dispell magic, as when they were oom or lom (stopped casting offensive spells & heals), they were still able to cast and clear my root spell. Mind you, I tend to use a lower level root spell, the one which does 60 damage per root.

I mostly used wolf form for them. what seemed to work best for me, was rooting it, then dot it (my strongest dot, I forget the name), then snare it, then star fire it once or twice, then add free dot (drones of doom), and by then, he'd slow down on his casting and heal himself or similar, and I would get out of range and med, then he'd break root and come chase me....and I'd keep using drones of doom to finish him off while I tried to med. I think near the end, I started using my 49th level root spell, and I think he couldn't (didn't) dispell that one. Also, I started dispelling them up front to remove any HP buffs he might have, but it seemed to take time and I didn't really notice much difference.

to finish with this post:
runs much slower then wolf form
can run oom
has a spell range limit (I think)
never drops anything, no money or brownie parts
can dispell lower levels of root
after killing 6 of them with a group, tainted spawned (but I hear this is not always true)
