Camped him today and it took about 2 hours to get him, Whether or not it was just a lucky pop or the spawn time has been adjusted, I don't know. Good luck.
not sure if i am supa lucky or just uber awesome i was only there for 3 hours 6th spawn cycle and bam there he stands with sword in hand i whacked him about a bit slapping him like a hemansupahoe put him in his place then ganked his swanky cutlass go me
Spent the whole day trying to get him to pop today. Multiple ph spawns with absolutely no luck. I probably would've been able to complete the 1.0 today with all the time that i wasted here.
So, just a suggestion. If it's for an alt, do the 1.0. Much quicker...

Taskmaster Waggad finaly popped after 7 hours on May 10, 2009, so it must have been fixed. Yes he dropped the Taskmaster's Cutlass. The location is the same 1770, -900.
I've been camping this guy for about 30 hours now for the past 3 days....... and I've seen 6 Elite during that time and NOT A SINGLE named?!?! they timer on him is not 25 minutes; not even close.
I'm fairly confident this is broken, as I spent almost 48hrs continuosly there, and a total of over 80hrs, and never a spawn, killing a wide section of the zone for long periods of time, and only the PHer for a long period of time, and never a spawn. I ended up, just doing the 1.0, and the only reason I had considered doing the prequest was the Ranger already had a 50% slow proc weapon. Depending on your level, the 1.0 can be done in a relatively short amount of time.
Only part I didn't have to camp for was the Corrupted Emerald from Hate, but did the entire rest on my own, and only took a few days, and probably would of been less, had I not stopped to try to do the pre-quest in between. One part or another the Ranger prequest seems to broken all the time. The hole mob, was broken for about 6 months a few years ago. This mob appears to have been broken for quite a while as well (was 2-3 months ago, when I last tried it).
This mob still drops the cutlass from above. I have yet to find a quest associated with it, i do however know that even though it is no drop you can tribute it for 2400.
Found him up on the nite that Omens of War went live and he dropped the Ring of Leadership plus Taskmaster's Cutlass. Ive searched but cant find the cutlass listed anywhere which seems strange for an expansion thats been out for 18 months. Wonder if its part of one of the new epics?
Full stats are: Taskmaster's Cutlass Magic item , lore item, no drop Slot Primary, Secondary Skill 1 hand slashing Atk delay 20 Damage 11 Sta +8, Wis +5, Hps +50, End +25 SvMagic +15 Rec lvl 50 Wt 1.2 size medium Class All Race All Slot 1 type 4:empty
Had to loot it with my shammy as I didnt have any other toons close enough and I was alone in the zone - and yes he can equip it. Hope its for a quest he can complete but for now its taking up a bank slot. Any info would be appreciated.
