Rumblecrush  

Do's no one have actually information on his spawn time?

Okay, I know it seems rather basic, but there is an easy way to pull rumblecrush solo... All you need is a map and SoE cast on you.

1. Invis to his spot, killing anything that attacks you like dark assassins or what not.

2. Walk into the VT entrance, and slowly step toward him till you see him come running at you.

3. Run out a little ways along the wall towards the entrance, then turn around and wait for him to get to the bottom of the stairs and turn towards you.

4. While there are no other earth eles on you, pull up your map and allow him to catch up a bit, then start running backwards along the wall.

5. Keeping him in view, keep running backwards until you reach the entrance. You might get a few gantrus on you, but they are easy to handle.

6. Kill him at the entrance.. all the earth elementals will drop off because he runs significantly faster and so do you.

This is the best technique. I keep lvl 1s parked at the entrance so they can loot up his corpse.

Hello Guy's,


Just for the Fun of it I thought I'd give Rumblecrush a Try. I have max AA's and many different armor items, and High Self DS for a Paladin, I figured I'd have a Shot. Was a Easy Pull to IZ, just needed to stop Running every now and than so i wouldn't lose it. Killed off the 4 or 5 adds First, than Tolk Rumblecrush.

I Never Seen this mob befor, Guilds Use to kill it all the time when I hunted the Zone, and after PoP came out there was little use going to that Zone. Wasn't in a Guild Back than, so I guess I missed alot of these mob kills.

Any-ways, When SoE have the Fabbled mobs up I Seen it than, and Figured one day I'd Come Back and Give it a Try.

Tolk about 5 to 10 min's to take Down, alot easier than Train killing 15 to 20 Giants in BoT To get Baken Skill Meat.

I Guess any-one can now if a Paladin can Solo it, or So I been told.

Duo'd him today with a 75 Paladin 14khp/2700ac unbuffed and my pocket 67 shaman.

Pulled him to zone by outrunning his adds, malo, slow with shaman, zoned the shaman out, killed with pally spamming Ward of Tunare.

No sweat at all. Zoned in the shaman every 33% to reslow in between rampages and i was fine.

Self buffed 75 druid at 14.3khp, 13.8kmana, 2.4k ac.
Hits blazingly fast, but misses a ton, max hit was around 650, lots of 198 trash (hits so fast that reptile only lasts about half it's normal duration).
When you take a bad round, you *feel* it lol!
Interrupts are a pain, big DS helps!
Pulled to ME zone line, debuffed him along the way (hand of ro, corona, and fix. of ro), didn't bother with aa pet, because he ramps so much.
Only buff I really wished I'd had but didn't was spell haste...
Fun fight!

75 Cleric - 13.6/2700 self buffed

Paci pulled adds first. Then RC, Vow of Valor + Ward of reprisal + Promised Renewal when needed. He puts out quite a bit of dps unslowed, suprised me still. Fast 400, 500 hits but vow of valor kept me up for most part, few promised renewals to make up for what valor couldn't heal.

Soloed Rumblecrush today, lvl 74 beastlord, killed my first pet then ate me suspended pet a little later last 30% fight was without fluffy. I tried pulling him to the ME zoneline, kept getting tons of adds, got him right outside of the me zone area along the wall with an Assassin add. Killed assassin and then proceeded on Rumble. Easily slowed and incapcitated with the beastlord spells. At the end it was close, I was oom and down to about 4% health, got enough mana for a heal and got a little beastie heal in on myself to give me the edge and win.

Is he on a spawn time or random

I came back to duo this mob cause I knew I could handle him 12k Beastlord 1700+ ac boxing a cleric. I had to get both toons kei cause I tried him once without it and only got him to 21% before I had to zone to prevent deaths.

I single pulled him using my good old method(always works) and cornered it to avoid getting out of range due to the push, my pet is already eating Ramp and can't really handle much more hits..

Slowed constantly this mob dps is cut by far and much easier for sure. I don't remember how mutch he hits / rampage for I guess it's in the 500-700 I was more worried to keep my pet up than checking what was going on.

finished fight I was oom on the beastlord ( patch pet healer) cleric kept me up using CH and Heal overtime on my oet , 20's % mana left.
Good challenge

Took him out today, 5 boxing and had a buddy 2 box. 7 people total as follows:

Me:
70 warrior (300+ AA, 11k hit points, 2k AC)
67 druid (180+ AA)
70 cleric (300+ AA)
65 chanty (92 AA - Poor gear, lower than elemental)
68 Necro (30+ AA)

Buddy:
66 warrior (Rampage tank, 8k hit points, 22AA - some OoW gear, not that great)
66 druid (50+ AA - Poor gear, lower than elemental)

- Strategy -

Prep: Every buff you can imagine on main tank and rampage tank. Used cleric Panalopy (damage migitation up to 2080 HP roughly), Regen, DS, Death Pact, Uproar, Rune of Zeb, etc.

Invised, ran up stairs with enchanter. pulled RC with slow (it stuck). Ran like hell as I got chased by every stone creature there was. Got far enough away, turned around and cast tash then cripple. Ran back to ME zone, zoned out. Regular Stone guys went back home, Rumblecrush stayed put. Ran out and pulled with main tank. Bastruq Bellow for aggro, ran back to zone in (in the meantime, chanter zoning back in).

Started Tanking, used my 8 second Invincibility Disc on the warrior (the Riposte every hit one) got the RT on assist. Used Spirit of the Wild and Pious Elixir on both tanks so i could focus on other duties (5 boxing, remember?) without having to worry too much. Followed up with Defensive Disc. on both tanks.

Just to feel more comfortable i re-slowed + crippled, sent in Necro pet + Chanter pet (all the DPS i can get), had some DoTs being cast by Necro. Buddy was watching RT's health with his 66 druid, kept him healed with fast heal. From here I used Pious Elixir to heal both tanks the entire fight (6.9k mana cleric, got down to about 30% by the time Rumblecrush died. CH would probably be much more efficient).

The cleric got on rampage 3 times due to poor aggro keeping on the RT part (poorly geared, not poorly played), and just used Pious on himself and lived just fine. Fight ended after about 5 minutes without too much of a struggle, didn't have to divine arb or anything, just make sure you keep him slowed and crippled.

Hope this helps!

Did him with 11.
61wiz
65rng
65pal (MT)
64 rog
65dru
65clr

65shm
65clr
65sk (rampage tank)
65rng
65mag

One of the rangers pulled him to zone as others suggested here, just aggro him and he'll out run his guards. Also make sure ya avoid adds cause the first time we got them and lost a few people.

At zone the ranger WS tanked him in a corner while the shaman was slowing and the paladin was building aggro.

I, a 65 cleric, ended up being the rampage target because somebody wasn't doing their job =p

Managed to drop a few CHs, a few splash heals on the MT before I finally missed my own heal when RC was at 20%.

Very easy fight once slowed, just.. yea having the rampage tank taunt is good.

**EDIT**
He dropped Belt of Scintillation and Tunic of Kinship.

Okay information to know about us and how we do this kill.. 8100 hp tank with all defensive done, rampage tank has 7521 hps. We usually have 3-5 clerics each time.

The best tactic to drop rumblecrush is this
Get a FD'er, or evac'er with hps to get them on him.. Run near the tunnel, where he will then FD or Evac. We then have a shadowknight grab his aggro and run around in circles. In the meantime we have our 65 enchanter and 64 shaman to slow him, once he's slowed they bring him in. Me and the MT engage, usually 2-4 clerics on MT and 1-2 on RT. Once I am on Rampage list good, and MT has aggro then we assist call, from there it's just dropping him.. Very easy kill..Pretty good loot to.

Did this today with 7, pretty simple fight. Our makeup was 65 druid (me), 65 enc (also me), 65 cleric, 65 pal, 65 sk, and 62 shaman, and 65 ranger.

The trick to this is pulling with either enchanter or shaman, but enchanter is probably better. My enchanter is pretty much just a bot, so she doesn't have Extended Range 3 or 4, but I found that I could pull with Howl of Tash, and outrun RC with SoE to the point where I had him slowed before he even got to camp. He came to camp solo, as he outran his guards. But I seriously had easily enough time to slow him without ER 3 or 4 during the pull, and if you are smart, you won't trip over any gorangas. I didn't get touched. When he got to hallway, MT engaged, shaman slowed (saw my slow wear off), and I zoned.

Pretty easy fight all in all, though he had some lucky ramps and tapped my patch heal mana a bit faster than I expected. Thankfully the cleric was doing fine keeping up on MT.

I would say if you are patching his ramps then you should probably refrain from nuking and whatnot even if it seems like you aren't doing anything for awhile. Sometimes he'll get a few ramps in a row and really beat the crap out of your shaman, rng, monk, rog etc.

No deaths, but no orb :( Dropped Belt and Wicked Mail.

Did with 6 today, 1 cleric, 1 sham, 1 bst, 1 SK, 1 wiz and 1 necro. Easy, had over 20% mana at end of fight.

Took him out 4 times in the last 3 weeks or so, me and a friend with total of 7 chars 65 sk, monk, shaman, enchanter, cleric, mage, necro. very easy fight never had any of are chars ever die :P wont stop droping stupid wicked mail though :/

Can he be snared/rooted and does he summon?

Well like usual i was killin radir and i was goin to pull spirit with my druid when i noticed RC had just spawned. I called a 65 pally friend who was in an elemental guild to help. He brought a 65 bard with him too(uber). First attempt things got very sloppy We had a 65 warrior 65 druid 62 shaman 65 cleric 59 monk 65 bard and 65 paladian. We got him o about 30% before we had to exodus. They called in their ranger friend for a lil more dps then we arranged pally to tank then bard to get rampage, worked beautifully although pally ended up dying at 0% health on Rumblecrush.

Try to slow/cripple and set up your rampage tank on RC before engaging then the rest of the fight is pretty easy. The hardest part of the fight is when hes not slowed. Other then that you can heal a good MT with only one cleric. The bigger problem comes in healing the rampage tank. RC rampages a lot and it does a lot of damage, its so random that it makes it difficult to time a good CH on the rampage tank. If you have a second warrior as the rampage tank it will be easier with defensive. Most likely you will have another melee being the rampage tank then its better to keep patch healing him or get a good cleric with a 4-5k Supernal Light to heal him. Its very important to keep the rampage tank alive if he dies and other people start getting rampage at random they will be taking about as much damage as if they were being attacked by RC himself and you will probably fail.

when i was hunting elys for a month i only saw him up once or twice every few (2) weeks

This guy seems easily one groupable... Correct me if i'm wrong, but if hes slowable he must be pretty gimp in dps. Anyone have any real info about how many he takes etc?

if this guys is summoned, then could we load up our pets with vs. summoned weapons on our pets and Dex buff them and let them Lose on em?i think mages get 2 of em a sword of runes and something walnan. either way it would be nice to have the extra firepower. any ideas?

Killed him with my guild pretty easily...dropped Wicked Mail and some nice boots, (9 wis and int, +3 every other stats, and SVs, all/all). No more than 2 deaths, if that.
