Praesertum Matpa  

You say, 'Hail, Praesertum Matpa'

Praesertum Matpa says 'Busy man, can't chat. Important?'

You say, 'yes it is important'

Praesertum Matpa says 'Spit it out, I do not have all day. Wasting my time is NOT a good idea.'

(no idea where it goes from there...)

You say, 'fat man'

Praesertum Matpa says 'Have you visited the Plane of Growth lately?'

(they all say that in response to "fat")

You say, 'praesertum rhugol'

Praesertum Matpa says 'Rhugol is a fine man, we work very well together. He does performs his duties in an exemplary manner, with no wasted resources. Well, no wasted material resources that is. There is no shortage of warm bodies willing to do work for him, so when one is lost, it is of no great importance.'

You say, 'praesertum bikun'

Praesertum Matpa says 'That fool? A wastrel, a knave, a fool who should never be in such a position. His appetites will be his undoing! I will speak no more about this...creature.'

You say, 'praesertum vantorus'

Praesertum Matpa says 'Vantorus is a fine warrior, but he treats his men too well. This causes problems, in my mind, because they become more loyal to HIM than they do to our cause. I suppose it works, as long as Vantorus is loyal. But it is worrisome, still.'

You say, 'seru'

Praesertum Matpa says 'Seru is Seru. One of the greatest minds that ever lived, and he is not even a Gnome! One of the fiercest warriors the worlds have ever known, Halasmen envy him. In matters of espionage, even the Tier'dal could take lessons from him . High elves seek him out for knowledge on statecraft. Never has there been his like, and never again will there be. I am proud to serve him, and the grand cause of the Inquisition.'

ok fallas, just took this mob down took all of 2o mins or so. got the shard of the hearth and mace of the prescience. i'd say he was easy with lvl 71 druid,70 ench, and 70 warrior. we let merc's tank him and warrior had only cleric doing heals. btw lic of the hearths dropped 3 scrols so for so each got a scroll in case earring is wanted by other toons..


Thanks Glassman lvl 71

respawn time? or PH?

seems horse drops have been nerfed, can anyone confirm... have seen 1 drop in 15 kills now.

70 Beastlord and 70 Cleric - About a 30 min fight. Cleric Easily kept the pet up and beastlord occasionaly slowed (making sure not to pull agro) and dotted.

Killed all 4 Praesertums this way.

Took him down tonight, 65 beast, 61 beast, 62 pally, 65 cleric, this fight has been nerfed or so it seemed to us. He now Tash's, randomly fears( or so it seemed). Much harder than reports that Ive read so far. Didnt have a mana prob, cleric and pally had no probs keeping pets alive, but high, very very high magic resist on this guy. And as I said, he's throwing spells that arent listed here. Also, I started out as ally faction, still ally to most, cept the peeps in the "towers" where these mobs are. Needless to say, after killin him, and wipe from add death, corpse runs had to be performed by alts.

This was the sencond guy i went after for a freind. The first was Rhugol, who i managed to duo with a 57 cleric.
This time Me, lvl 65, Cleric 57, and 65 necro,, and let me tell ya , was much easier then the first, lasted 20 mins or less and woot , More CAKE.

According to this website, he can also drop https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=7701

Can anyone confirm this?

can mapta be slowed??

Dropped a White Silken Birdle didn't need it so sold it for approx. 48k pp

The easiest way of dealing with these guys (because of their banish proc) is to use pets and range attacks. Send a pet in as your MT, keep all healers on that pet (or have healers /assist Praesertium to see which pet he's on to heal that pet), have everyone else use their pets on him to push him into the corner. Melees use range attacks only, nukers and DoTers are your friends here. So long as the pet has sufficient agro, noone should be banished and the mob should go down with no casualties to your groups.
