Project 1999 - Game Mechanics: Tantor should not Summon

Quote:

Tantor does not summon, and is a pure melee mob. As such, it was much easier and quicker to kill than an Ice Burrower, where I have to make sure that my charmed hound or brontotherium is not attacked (burrowers proc a dispell, which wipes out the Snare and the Charm on the pet). It took less than 10 minutes, and all I did while my pet velium hound chewed on it was to run in wide circles throwing on Drones of Doom (from a Skyshrine bracer), Winged Death, and Flame Lick (to add to the aggro at minimal mana cost). Sadly had nothing on it.

soloed as a bard, took about 15 minutes with a pet for some of the time, got a few adds including harla dar, but he dropped the tusk for me. mega hp, but melee kinda weak, hit for about 300 max, probably less. doesnt summon, over all pretty easy.

I soloed him with my 60 druid. Charmed lots of critters. Took about 1 hr. Got the tusk.

Soloed him as a 58 bard. just used sow/regen potions, and ran around charming mobs and sending them against him. took a **** of a long time, but i got the tusk luckily )

Quote:

antor and stronghorn don't summon so they can be soloed (takes awhile). Most bards chain charm pets on this mob along with dotting.
