NPC Spawn Issue: Cazic Thule

[Dolalin]

I found a PoF guide on the XegonyAlliance website, last updated March 2001, which describes Cazic's death touch behaviour a little:

Cazic Thule Says Your Name

When you see this, it means that Cazic Thule is kind of annoyed with the entire concept of people "raiding" his plane, and he decided to take matters into his own hands. If the person who gets the death touch was in the West camp at that time, Cazic Thule now is aggro on the entire camp and will begin to death touch someone every 30 seconds or so. When this happens, you will have to do one of two things:

If you are fighting something, kill it and kill it fast. After that, watch for the raid leader to call the CAMP command. When you see this, sit and camp, and pray you save your ass. Leave the game for 3 minutes, then return to the game. This will clear the Cazic aggro on the party. If you are not fighting, just look for the camp command. Do not camp until requested to do so. The leader makes that decision, and you will look like a cowardly fool if you camp out with no command only to find that the person that caught the death touch was not in the camp. Save some embarrassment and wait for the signal.

also:

Once you have pulled as many MOBs as you possible can without aggroing Cazic himself, get everyone to buff up. Once everyone
is buffed, designate someone as the death touch sacrifice (usually a gnome) and rush Cazic.

When your sacrifice gets there, he will be death touched first thing. If Cazic doesn't seem to be awake, have him cast on Cazic.
That'll get his attention fast. Once the death touch has passed, kill Cazic.

When Cazic is aggro, MOBs that are anywhere nearby will come after you. So if you haven't killed some MOBs yet, prepare to mez
the train that comes when you are killing Cazic. Sometimes you'll have 1 glare lord that's still alive. No big deal when this happens,
just kill CT and get a chanter to mez the glare.

and:

Fighting Cazic Thule

To prepare, cancel all the buffs you have on and, when given the signal, place 4 disposable buffs (or "crap buffs") on yourself. My
personal preference is to use J-Boots first, as you can quickly reactivate them after they are debuffed. At the command, begin
normal buffs. Put Dead Man Floating or Levitate on as the final buff, as this negates his Gravity Flux damage. Wait for the call, and
charge him and kill him. Not really much to it. Like dragons, casters want to wait until the halfway mark to begin casting on Cazic
Thule while the tanks work it down for the first half. Cazic isn't very magic resistant, so casters are going to do really well here. He
hits for 400 sometimes so he's a pretty rough melee MOB. He also death touches people every 30 seconds. If you have a lot of
magic resistance, they're a slim chance you could survive this, but it's not bloody likely. Tanks are essential. They MUST interrupt
him using bash, stun, etc. Casters, when not casting, have to stay out of melee range. Healers are an absolute must considering
how much damage Cazic will do to the tanks and how long they have to fight him. He has the ability to dispell buffs as well, but the
worst part of this is the MOBs in the zone running at you. That's right. The moment he's attacked, he will summon everything left in
the zone at you. This is why you want to do Cazic last. You want to clear all the MOBs in the zone that you can away before taking
him on. There's a big trick to doing Cazic though, and that's Fear. Cazic is extremely susceptible to Fear spells. If you keep him
Feared and just plow him with large scale DoTs and such, you can't fail.

Seems Cazic 1.0 should be fearable (if he isn't already).

And some spawn info:

The respawn cycle on MOBs in PoF is 13-14 hours with Cazic and Draco set to one week.
