Alright hte rare elite spawns in Cata such as Garr (recall him from MC?) and Xaronia have millions of hit points and take about 10 (can be done iwth uber 5m groups but it's tough) and drop ilvl 346 blues. Come one, these are like raid boss encounters and they're rare too boot. Why on earth don't they drop epics?

wow what a co-incidence, me and my guild just killed a the rare spawn in Uldum, Amk'het or something and we all felt ripped off a i346 item dropped.

We killed some rare mob in hyjal a few weeks back, some earth elemental looking guy. It was a random thing, a guildie told me about it then they must've spammed general chat because people kept showing up individually, or in groups of 2-3.

After about 10 minutes of fighting/dying, we killed it and he dropped some blue item. Was a pretty crappy one too if I recall, definitely not worth the amount of time/effort it took to kill it. I miss the old days where a rare mob was more or less a regular mob that could be killed solo or maybe with 2-3 people. Made killing mobs in random areas more fun.

There are still other rare mobs that can be killed solo and drop a lesser ilvl blue.

I just had flash backs to people grouping up to kill Crystal Lords in Asheron's Call. Damn, that was fun.

I remember we used to duo them, although I can't quite recall the trick to it. There was something. It was fun, though. happy

The trick was having one person smack the lord and run in circles to keep all those blasted faerie things off the person killing the lord I thought

My monarch and I used to duo them :P

I'm thinking there was a way to detach the minions. I distinctly recall getting lords alone and stuck in terrain (between trees was the preferred method) to be slaughtered by an archer.

They finally fixed the "stuck between the trees" trick...for all mobs..


Nowadays just have an archer to keep killing the never ending spawns of minions, and a melee whack the lord.
