On Bertoxxulous there seems to be usually nobody in this dungeon. I've got a fairly small guild with maybe about 8 people who are above level 35 but we may get a Kaesora raid in the near future.

I got HT'd by him but must have resisted it as it did very little damage to me. There was just one Skopikos in the way and unfortunately, he aggro'd on me as I let the scrounger get too close to me and lost my invis when he hit me (darn lag). The new one promptly Harm Touched me and the race was on.

In retrospect, I'd just kite him in the future as he was pretty resistant to fear and knocked me silly a couple of times.
