Soloed with my 56 druid. Cast winged death, run, cast drifting death, run, cast ice for a little variety. 5k hps sounds about right. His proc is pretty wicked though, and if he gets to you hps can drop pretty fast. Sow and regrowth help. He dropped the sandals of the skeptic.
First time I ever saw him up after months in SD was this morning. Dropped the
Fiery Ring of Cunning Int: +4 Fire Resist: +10 Mana: +10
which is pretty lame for named in this zone. As noted below, he cannot be snared. It's best to pull him a good way from the Tro Jeg camp cause he will walk back to the camp once he hits 20 pct health.
My 60 druid soloed him other day...first time I had ever seen him up. He was on the plateau and all he dropped was Captor's Silken Cord!!!! The gods were not kind to me I guess.
I never got snare to stick, so I just keep Winged Death on him and finished with Moonfire.
This guy vastly undercons. I solo him whenever I see him with a 60 paladin. He hits for up to 130's with up to a 290 DD proc. has about 6-7k hps, possibly more. I end up using about all my mana, and had to use LoH one time even, as he is VERY MR and resists the hell out of root/stuns. Dropped a 12/26 5str/wis other stats (hp/mana. etc) +15 FR hammer, and a 6ac 3str 15hp earring..both droppable. Not too shabby for something I can solo hehe Evildutch Wrathfist 60 d0rf pally on Antonius Bayle
