After all these nice people asked has no one actually sat there and camped this guy for spawns... someone has to know. I'm sitting at his spawn now wish me luck peoples and if he spawns for me in 45 minutes like the post I read (only one)I will sit for days if i have to to see what his timer is i know people still want his belt even at 105....
this fight was a pain up in the neck for me. it was very long and took some time to figure out the right strat. what i ended up doing is running my guys buffless, then when he debuffed i used either annual magic or RGC to get rid of it. the trouble was the debuff that made you "dimwitted" my 85 shammy was fizzling his canni. so that debuff was harder to get rid of becuse a good deal of mana was getting sucked up by fizzles. clr, had the same trouble ended the fight with less then 10% on both, clr didnt have enough to cast a CH and tank was at 30% hp when the kill blow landed.. close fight.
Heres a little info that might be useful : Boxed a 82 Cleric with Bazaar gear and a Tank Merc and my other toon was a 76 Wizard Bazaar gear with a Tank Merc. First cleared the adds pretty easy got 2 - 3 adds per pull just let the mercs tank em down. Got agro from the Thought Horror Overfiend in the process just ignore it cause it's perma rooted in the middle. I just put Mercs on passive to make them return to me. Medded to Full mana on both toons. I have Radiant Cure AA on cleric and Promised Renewal for Heals. Wizard had Fire nukes loaded and AA pet swords / mana burn and Sword pet Loaded. Basically I just let the Mercs Tank him while cleric threw in a promised renewal at around 60% health on tank. Only problem dealing with this mob is his Dot's. Theirs one Dot thats not resistable and its Feeblemind It would make me fizzle 3 - 4 times which can drain mana rather quickly so it's a good Idea to have remove greater curse loaded inbetween your radiant cures. Fight took 35 -40 minutes was extremely low on mana on cleric and out of mana on wizard by the middle of fight. Drops orb of lost souls every fight I've done ( 4th time for me ) 3 random spells and Winterstorm shaman weapon pretty common. I've been camping this for the belt and sleeves for my twink thats parked here ready to loot. He is definately a THREE DAY SPAWN Timer, + or - 6 hours. The Deep is pretty much a ghost town so it's been a good learning experience. Hope this helps and good luck.
Can anyone confirm that he still drops the belt (since Summer '08, to give a timeframe) at this point? I'm at 14 kills with no belt. I'm gonna keep at it, but no luck so far. I have at least 1 of every other drop, and I've got a STACK of cleric hammer spells.
Update: 19 kills, no belt. Now that Ssra is a hotzone, I expect to see competition for him on my server, which will suck. I've had a couple people step in and kill him while I was at work, so I've missed a couple kills.

I read through all these post on THO, and not once was his location ever mentioned. This zone is a pita to begin with, but trying to find him without track is nutz, so if someone knows his location, spit it out please. This is ridiculous
