Druid epic, farming certain corrupteds since velious launch

TL;DR most of the thread
Here are my tips for the Kedge Corrupted.

Swam in invis to E, then up to the yellow bit and snuck past the Mermaids to the safe spot before F. then I cleared into H and set up my camp there. I had no issue charming mobs and suiciding them into the others and once the camp was broken I never had an issue with casting as the single Savage Spirited seahorse that I charmed pushed the one it was fighting just fine.

When the tainted spawned, my good pal Grammer came down and helped me kill it. I might have been able to solo it, but with two druids charming it was easy as pie and I didn't want to take the risk.

any quick help? teloa did not spawn, the 3rd part before corruptor. i did turn in to sionae just fine niuen good. teloa not popping.

The druids do all spawn, but about 900 units EAST of where the Wiki says they should. All you have to do is tag the necromancer and the druids, 5 level 60 druids, will destroy the SKs with no issue. The necro dots you up but you are a druid so you dot it back and pell its dots and you are fine.

Edit: The dark elves take about 15-30 seconds to spawn because the druid must walk to the others before it happens, there is a zonewide shout when they spawn, so you'll know if they are up.

and on top of that, randomly popped into LOIO to snag a medallion from marauder after getting my rose. saw a tainted barracuda up, spawned first kill. apparently wiki says 10-20% spawn rate. apparently only barracude and the goblin have low low spawn rate chances? I didn't realize every other corrupted was 100% spawn rate on a tainted, maybe that part of the wiki is wrong, thought i did a gorilla in EJ once and it didnt pop. Going so smooth for me, i was gonna go to bed 2 hours ago now i don't know.

I got lucky and got my barracuda AND my goblin first try off the tainted I spawned, but some people have complained of popping 10+ tainted goblins with no luck.

At any rate, the barracuda is annoying as hell because it loses aggro if you leave the water.

In Lesser Faydark, I stood at 0, 0 and killed the brownie that spawned there repeatedly until the tainted popped. I snared and rooted the tainted in a corner of the zone and asked my Necromancer friend to come. The mob is easy, but it summons, so we feared it and dotted it up and it was done.

Here are my tips for the Kedge Corrupted.

To reiterate, I would not root anything in kedge keep, just stay buffed and vigilant with your back to a corner and rely on your hasted pet pushing the healers around the room.

[Doctor Jeff]

Going for a sextuple post for good measure.

Yeah I saw some people charming in kedge, I may just giveit a try on 55 druid. Savage spirit def is great, 70% haste or something. Between that and tunarean gloves mana free DS, and new velious glamour of tunare spell makes it a bit easier. I will try and pet it up solo on druid til I can pop a tainted/corrupted then and when I do, if I don't think I can take the corrupted on I will bring in back up. I remember it summoning etc also, and if its anything as hard or worse then the brownie in lfay then def cant solo it unless i had c2 and was blasting heals on pet maybe.

btw when you charm suicided seahorses to get repops. what did you do once pet died and they all came after you?

Bonds of Tunare made it quite manageable, I queued a charm on the highest HP seahorse so that it would land while the others were swimming towards me. Took a few hits, yes, but I swam my butt around in circles getting my pet to aggro all the seahorses and healed myself up. It was not super mana efficient, I didn't have ES Greaves at the time, but it was a lot faster than breaking in normally and trying to beat the CHeals.

I only had to do this once for the breakin, and from there I killed them normally using the H as my camp.

Edit: Bonds of Tunare is a level 60 spell, but I don't see why you couldn't apply normal snares and do the same.

Be buffed, be prepared, know where your corners are, and don't let the tiny pirahna's aggro you.
