Well last night was spectularly fun because we didnt have a single zone
crash. This enabled us to clear almost everything in the zone except for
Cazic himself and his three henchmen fright, terror, and dread. We had
killed all of his henchmen before and they hadnt dropped anything
interesting so we where thinking we would just rather ignore them. At this
point we started getting cocky. Dracoliche was cake for us and if another
server could kill cazic, well then we could to. So we launched our assault
and imediatly cazic said something about his henchmen better come over and
help him. At this point various profanties where uttered as we realized our
fatal mistake, and sure enough fright, terror, and dread showed up on the
spot just as we had cazic at half life. Luckily for us we had several high
level magicancs and necros which set their pets on the henchmen. With this
borrowed time we finished cazic and gated out with minimal losses. Killing
him was about the same as the dracoliche except the three henchman.
Definatly need to take out the henchmen first before killing cazic :)
Updated bestiary:
Phoboplasms are my new personal favorite, they can drop up to TWO random
class specific items. Last night we killed around 8 of these guys and TWO
dropped a bard bracer, along with a bunch of ranger and shaman stuff.
Cazic Thule : 8 platinum. Thats it. Good thing killing him was so much fun
cause that was a big let down.
Nightmare's drop some silly piece of nightmare hide that can cancel
blindness. Woopydo.
Total bard pieces found have been 2 bracers, helmet, and boots (which i
got) and arms and gloves which another bard got. No greaves or breastplates
yet :(
