tried killing this guy with my 88 SK. Was doing great merc was keeping me healed had plenty of mana. Got him to about 30% and I went from 80% health to dead :/ 6k ac buffed 52k hp.
This guys spawns on the east side of the pepponite patch on the north side of the zone. At least that's where we saw him. Has some sort of ae root/dd I think. Didn't seem too bad for either tank we had (one in SoD raid, one in a mix of UF t8/t9). Killed him three times. Dropped:
Handful of the Patch Guardian Straw (hp/man/heroic str aug) Totem of the Scarecrow (int caster range item) Cane of Feral Essence (beastlord only 1hb)
