Scorn banshees drop our armour, and they have for our team, though only 2
pieces have since we started on the poh. (got almost a full backup set of
imbrued :). They also drop a martune rapier that is 8/23 5 str, 4 agil, no
proc. Not bad, but i am sticking with the dual ykeshas. How to get to
him... well its really a freaking maze in the poh, i cant think of an easy
way to describe it. Have a de necromancer that worshippes innoruk and has
never killed anything in mistmoore scout for you in wolf form (dunno if if
they have to be a de necro that worshipps innoruuk, but i am pretty darn
sure they cant have hunted in mistmoore before).

We just killed the maestro for the first time while i was typing this.
Dropped a paladin only erudite shield of all things (phobus, the resident
lazy erudite paladin was estatic :). First time i saw him he had a mace
(the cleric only one that procs banish undead?) but we didnt get to kill
him that night and the server reset before we had another chance. He is a
freaking monster, hits for 200+, has a aoe life tap (at least thats what
everybody kept saying, i never noticed), and an enourmous amount of hps
(well if he does have an aoe lifetap that would explain his supposed 6
gazillion hps).

On wierd trains... yeah we get that alot too. If you use our bind sight to
watch the pullers work (usually one monk and one de necro in wolf form who
scouts for us) you will see mobs run EVERY which way after they fd. It is
insane the paths they take, and i imagine that just like the pof they are
running around transfering their hate list to every mob in the zone. After
we have cleared a bit it gets better, still get the occasional train and
everybody dies (one person camps out to do rezzes, saves money :). The
developers are well aware of this, and are basically using us as a guinee
pig. Whether they will fix this i dont know, time will tell =(

We still have a ton to learn in the poh, but like the pof we are getting
better and better. I know other servers use monks to pull... but tunare
just started doing this. Before we always specialized in crowd control. We
have several high level enchanters that mez and 2 lvl 50 bards that mez
also. Now that we have added a monk to start fd pulling, we are starting to
do much better. Course the monk makes me feel like we are cheating... we
pulled the maestro past 15 guards solo using fd. 8p
