Praetorian Myral  

I'd swear this guy didn't exist.


89 hours... [insert long string of profanities here]. Seen him once, dropped Scythe.

Killed him last night w/ my 75 mage and T1 Journey Cleric merc. Due to the fact he had the hammer, and it proc'd every 10-15 seconds, sometimes 3-4 times in a row, it took FOREVER!!! 15 minute fight... The key was to wait until you saw the DS messages (from pet) then cast like crazy, and hope he doesnt proc again, or resist. used the 2.5 sec fire spell (forgot name) and the Summoned Ice thing of paradox somethin' or other (very technical, i know). Had to Mala, then Malosanise.. still resisted 1-2/5 casts. Did not resist any of the casts from the Summoned paradox thing. Dropped the hammer (could not use). 85 Cleric got it, and went on a rampage in VT (tagged along). Had atleast 10-15 mob's on her, w/ Ward spell, and this hammer procing every other swing, there were literally NO heals casted. Very nice weapon when used right.

well I fought him while he had his hammer... was a very peculiar fight.

whenever he proc'd I had to kite him around, but when DA wasn't up, I noticed a few things:

1.) he has an average amount of hp
2.) he has a very high regen rate
3.) he either has very high AC, very high agility, or both, because I could rarely hit him, and when I DID hit him, it was for pathetic amounts of damage.

anyways, those are just things to think about before you engage him. the fight took about 15 minutes because I could only get several seconds of fighting in at a time as he proc's very often.

It took my 70 level necro about 7 minutes and 80% of my mana to kill the mob. Pet Hold, Snare. Magic based and Fire based DOT did not often stick on the mob.

My 65 Cleric now has hammer (Merez) looking for more info will most after I use it for a while.

Did some testing and a 70 necro cannot fear this guy. Snare also seems to miss often and necro dot + snare spells do not seem to stick. Necro AA snare worked 3 times out of 9 casts.

Fire spells seem not to hit as well as wells magic based damage spells, Seems poisen and deases based spells hit most of the time.

70 Necro will all spells and pet took about 8 minutes but did not have the DA hammer only the Scythe and some junk. Was dark blue to 65 druid and light blue to a 70 necro.

Just killed with a 75 pally, 13.5k unbuffed/2600ac ....its a long F'n fight...i then brought my 75 ranger to dps, i DOT'd a bit to offset the DA procs, he proc's a lot... my suggestion is bring a class that can DOT a lot, to off set his DA when you cannot melee...

He is found in the far side of the zone by SD zoneline, in the far bottom left corner of zone (if looking at the map), trackable from zone with ranger.

Awesome weap and it proc's a lot, I will enjoy this during duels and for those tough mobs that take a few tries to slow :)

Just got Devine Hammer thingy to drop Tuesday Feb. 19 2008.. Getting PL in GE with my war happened apon this guy.. logged to my pally bam we took him out (71 pally and 78 Monk).. Monks cleric is proud owner of the Devine hammer lol Grats to him.. my 14 cleric is next O.o

Not very accurate but I killed him on a Wednesday afternoon (Jan. 16, 2008) and he was up again on a Friday aft. (Jan. 18, 2008). First time he had the scythe and today he had the hammer, which I soloed with a 76 BL. Mostly Anguish gear and healing pots.

I've dropped this mob a few times on the Tribunal with a 76 ranger (COA geared) and 67 cleric (gear is old...has been in partial retirement until recently). The guy gave up the scythe again (grats rot). I just want the hammer and wand for the cleric.

There was only one add during the fight and he went down quickly. I cleared out the far corners away from the door and used the cleric to paci the two near Myral. A snare and two arrows and the fight was on...took about 8 to 10 minutes with the ranger doing most of the fighting (cleric got some good whacks in towards the end).

Since so many people asked for it. I've uploaded an image of him holding the Wand of Casual Blessings in hand. I hope this clears up some confusion.

Also of note, his spawn time, at least on Al'kabor is 24 hours or less.

Two 75 druids dropped him in about 5 min. Wolf form, snare and load him up with DoTs. Swarms were almost never resisted. Nukes hardly ever hit. One could sit out and regen mana while the other kited. Dropped the Hammer and had time to run 60 Cleric in for it.

Battle Cleric report on Fighting Myral with the scythe...

71 Cleric here. Had my wife helping out with her 69 Pally for added dps.

I had 1600AC and 7.5K hp's for this fight. My atk is about 1250, but most of the dmg done was DS and Reverse DS and procs...
(I only have rank 1 of SCF, so my crit rate for procs is only 2%)

I had Ward of Vengeance going as well as the new Vow of Valor. Used DS Potion (35 DS Skinspikes) and have +9 DS with worn items. Pulled Myral with Mark of the Blameless (45 Reverse DS) and slapped Mark of the Righteous on right after (34 Reverse DS). Clickied my pet pants and waded in with my hammer.

Now, Myral hits quite fast. So the DS and Reverse DS going on him does ALOT of damage. 123 DS all combined, per hit. Ward of Vengeance also procs alot on this guy 'cause it's based on the number of times you're hit and procs with a parry modifier of 400. Vow of Valor was also going off at it's usual rate of just over 5 times a minute for 800 dmg each.

Now here's the kicker, when Vow of Valor procs it gives a recourse effect of a 1350/tick Heal over Time. I never had to heal myself during the whole fight. so I was pretty much full mana again at the end. Had to stun once the whole fight 'cause the pally had stolen aggro... once.

I was surprised at how little damage Myral actually does...

I parsed my logfile with Yalp. Duration of Myral Fight: 6 mins 31 seconds. MY dps (includes procs, DS, Reverse DS and Wards): 283! My pet added another 9 or so DPS, And I have incomplete readings on the Pally, so no accurate dps parse for her. The parse does shows Myral doing a total of 149 dps to me (which can be countered by at least a 900/Tick HoT), which explains whey I was always brought back to full hp's with the VoV Recourse.

So if he doesn't have the hammer, it's a pretty straight up fight, and can be easily solo'd by any cleric lvl 71+... Just DS the crap out of him, and keep the Valor recourse going.

Now, I understand it'll be a whole new ballgame if he's got that hammer. I'd need ALOT more dps classes helping out to try to melee him dead this way... Much easier I think to just kite him like it's been said earlier in this thread. If I find any useful information in a logfile parse when that happens, I'll post it.

What is his spawn time? it cant be exactey three days becuse we cheaked three days after we killed it nd their was no sign of him.

I just soloed him on my 70 necro , spammed clicky darkness on him to keep him snared and just let crit Dread Pyres and pet eat him away , he got close enough to proc DA twice which slowed me down a bit on dot recasts but all in all was pretty easy . I was hoping to get scythe for flesh rend proc to make bone chips , but he had the hammer which I ran my 65 pally in to loot , so wasnt a complete waste I guess =)

At 62 my NEC had a group, and when the rest either died or zoned, I was FD for probably 30 minutes or more waiting for them to get their sh*t together and return, and aggro never cleared.

So if you're going to FD in a fight with him, do it farther away than right by the alter.

Solo'd the scythe-bearing version. Figured I would give it a go pitting his fast attack speed against my pet's 62dmg DS while alternating between Pyrilen Skin and Veil of Pyrilonus, tossing in heals as needed. First pet (Air) held up well. Sinia landed, as did air stuns and procs. Dumped all discs at the beginning to give them a chance to refresh if the fight became prolonged. When mana got low I let air pet take a fall while I unsuspended my backup pet, which happened to be a well-buffed water. It did not fare as well, but held up well enough to let me start dumping earth pets on it with just haste and DS. Earth root landed. Took about 5 earths after, and a second swarm/FB/flappy combo to bring him down. Fight was done before room respawn. I think with a cleric a well-buffed earth pet or even air could handle the hammer version. If I wasn't tied up with heals I think I could maintain chain DS throughout while on horse with full mana regen buffs. Will try it when I get the chance.

Tried soloing as a 70 Shaman. He can't hurt me, but I couldn't sustain enough DPS to drop him before going OOM. I don't have the OOW curse DoT, but I stacked Blood of Saryn, Anathema and Bane. Hit Dogdot with Leopard and tanked him myself. Kept Q on myself and he never got me below 60% health except when I would Canni5.

I finally got him to 50% but I was at 10% mana having just Canni5ed for the second time. It was pretty much a draw as neither of us could kill each other. So, finally gated. A DPS partner and he would go down.

so according to the info here, hes about 80,000 hitpoints, procs <Divine Aura> but its dispellable, he flurries a LOT (every 1 sec), casts heal over time at the end but is dispellable as well

doing the math, a tank can put on some damage shield potions (40-50damage shield total), and since he has very weak damage output (max 100 to non tanks) should be able to take him on, and if he DA's anyone can just dispell it via potions.

well i'll find out if that theory works someday (^-^)

Has anyone seen the hammer drop in the last several weeks? Past few spawns solid has been that scythe /

Check it out.. This guy is a snap.. It takes a while .. but it gets the job done.. he was holding the scyth if you care...

Chars Used : 70 Druid, 70 Cleric, 70 Enc (botted)

Jobs: Druid - Snare, DD, DoT, Heal
Cleric - DD, Heal, Pet Hammer
Chanter - DD, Charm, NDT, Haste

Druid ran arround with aggro while my chanters charmed pet attacked and cleric nuked.. Got mob to 20% before my computer random restarted... By the time i logged back in.. mob was at 56% health and druid had him Rooted in middle of room. Plenty of time to kill mob before respawn.. Work your way arround the room when clearing.. Pull slowly.. wait a lil bit before you pull next mob to kill before named.. cause if you stay to long if you kill all at once you will be hurting cause they will all pop on you and likely to have a named with them.

soloed him on TT about a hour ago took me ages had da hammer so had to chant kite, took about a good 45mins to do, have new dots and rathe drum so my dots do 235 dam a tic, had 4 on him, took a long time and i was right on the edge of his regen a tic could se his hps going up and down (but thankfuly more down than up)

droped the DA hammer so had a happy cleric alt now hehe, dont think i will do it agian took way to long !

Killed him last night & picked up a DA hammer 4 my cleric, we had a 70 war, 65 wiz, 68 dru, 62 sham, 67 monk, 65 magician & myself boxen 65 war & 52 cleric twink..it was a 20 minute fight - trick is to dispell his divine aura when he procs it, regens around 600hitpoint a tick.. we tried and wiped earlier with myself shaman and the wizard, does anybody know what wocb looks like?

small brick of yttrim ore just droped off him

Our guild took this guy down last night. he had the hammer, and our 1st attempt didnt go so well. many died after we tried going toe to toe with him with MT. After we cleaned up our act from a 1/2 hour long fight in which we got owned, i (ranger) simply kited him around the room he spawns in , kept aggro while rest of em' dotted and nuked .... took 10 mins and he never got off more than 2 DA's on me . Grats to us for thinking clearly after a bungled 1st attempt!
