Dropped shield on second time around...contrary to what Tiala said though he did use gravity strike even carrying the shield...also dropped the T2 bracer...seemed like he had more exp with the shield but could just be in my head
This mob was a pretty easy kill. We had a lvl 100 necro, mage, enchanter,warrior, and 2 healer mercs. He will run in the opposite direction he is facing, just have tank have him turned so he will run towards a wall not the open areas where all the critters are. Out of 16 kills he dropped shoulders 15 times and shield once. When he dropped the shield he did not use the gravity strike. All in all it's getting him set up right, just get an area clear pull the ph's last and your gold.
