Korucust  

Killed him today ...I was camping Halfing Mask for Bard. While waiting decided to go kill him Wit my 85 BST took bout 2 min was easy actually an upgrade for an old wizard i logged in good times 8D

He was a raid target for our lvl 60 raid in the past.

He has several emotes during the fight as he changes forms:

The figure before you phases in and out of view, wisps of smoke encirling his body, as if these contortions are now controlling him.

The contortions become less violent, less frequent, and seemingly more important. It is as if you are watching the deconstruction of this entity, perhaps even various figures that he has impersonated in the past.

Korucust slowly phases in and out of view, taking on the image of a ghost.

Korucust's corpse falls to the ground at your feet. You are unsure if this being of immense power is really dead, or if this is yet another method of foul trickery. Korucust has been slain by ____!

killed him with a self buffed 79 SK around 17k hps. He took me down to 94% health, and I had about 75% mana left over.../yawn...took about 7 mins

soloed him today im a 75 cleric 11513 Hp 2497Ac 10202 Mana all self buffed fight took me over 20 mins he was tuff no dought had no lowbes here to loot gratz rott ..

75 Cleric- 13.6/2700 AC self buffed.

Tried him once before when I was 70 and with some lesser gear, he was a little much for me then. Went back about a week ago with 5 more levels and few updrades and he was still a tough kill, but he did go down finally. Vow of Valor + Ward of Reprisal + Promised renewal and he was down fairly quick. Max hit was 690's, maybe some over 700, but didn't pay much attention, sometimes quad, Avergage hit probably around 400 to 500's but very very fast hitter.

Hes a pushover

I soloed him and it took me maybe 5 minutes to do so and I was at 72mana when he died (70 SK here)

Tried soloing him today with my main... 70 cleric bout 570 aa, 9k+ hp and 2200 ac... um.... yeah... boy was that a bad idea, hits hard and fast, quading for like 692 fairly often, 1600 pt lifetap, and that whole turning into me and beating my own ass thing, that was nice too... held my own for a few min, but when all was said and done, I was in the lobby and he was at 90%.

this guy doable with a small raid of about 24-30 peeps, mostly 65+ with ornate+ gear? main tank buffs up to about 9.2k hps.

Anyone seen him drop the Brittlebone sandals since December? My guild has wracked up easily 10-15 kills and not a single pair of boots yet.

At the start of the fight he looks like the Xalgoz model. After you get him down some he shape shifts. As your killing him, he will shape shift into 3 or 4 model's one being the Main Tank for your raid. Fun and easy fight, not so bad loot and good faction to boot.

When i saw Korucust he was a Xalgoz model, not the ghost shown in the pic.

Anyone have an idea how large a faction hit this guy is?

Took him down with 7 toons yesterday (12/28/03). War & Cleric (2 Boxed), Rogue, Shaman & Bard (3 Boxed), SK & Druid (2 Boxed). All are level 65, though the Cleric and Druid have have less than 25aa each. We have no Vex Thal or Elemental gear. We wiped 3 times before we formulated a strat that worked and took him down on our fourth run.

We fought him up top right in front of his spawn. We found that we would get pather adds from the hall outside if we had people at the bottom hiding from the AEs. The key to the fight is 3 fold: Low numbers, high resists, RGC. The bard was only playing Purifying Chorus for the entire fight and all toons had 400+ MR and DR, some had 500 MR. Even then the dots would still land. The Shaman was RGC'ing anyone that the Manadrain Dot landed on (priority on the cleric) and then firing off Radiant Cure when he could to clear the Spell Slow Dot. Tank was Evasive (was able to disc twice during the fight) to avoid the unresistable 1600dd proc.

The Cleric was the primary healer until the last 10% when she and the Druid were actually medding and alternating heals because neither had any mana. The last 20 seconds or so went with no mana on anyone. It was extremely close but we pulled it off. Loot was Brittlebone Sandals and Bone-Forged Trinket.

Where is his loc?

Respawn time?

How much HP?

Thank you for some answers

Took him down with 29 people with decent gear, most lvl 60+. only eleven people lived, MT dies when Korocust was at 1% lol. With casters hiding below the stairs to only get the one AE.. He was hitting for in the 600-700's and the Ae's go off A LOT. ad 3 clerics on CH rotation (4 sec) and druids/shamans patch healing (tank was often below 25% health) but we did it! dropped bone-forged trinket and dark blade of the shai` din.

what is Korocust's respawn time, also is he triggered? I can never find him up.

His other AE is this ....

Cloud of Oblivion

Hits for 700ish max quads if I saw correctly.

Hey guys,

I put on a mini-raid for this guy last night. It was all but smooth getting down but we managed to get to chardock B. Once we got there it was easy to get to korukust's sanctuary. However, we wiped two times trying him all due to that AoE. I thought being below the staircase meant we were out of his Line of sight, but it still got us. Is his AoE just a simple matter of distance?

Also, is his AoE easy to resist if you have bards playing resist song? We seemed to just get knocked around his AoE.

I am curious to what other people have had in numbers and strategy on downing this bastard :).

Thanks

How is everyone getting around that AOE he has? He's wiped us three times with a raid size force. We do not have bards, is there any way to win without that one class in the raid?

Again, red to a 65 so at least lvl 68 =)
