Was a quick fight, with a good handful of deaths. Seems that although he puts out a lot of dps,he can quickly be taken down if debuffs are landed,and there are tics on him. Didn't count how many tics were in the bg.

Problems: Loot was meh. Not worth the 5k BP it takes to fight him.

- 40 dreads

- pet summon item (fluff)

- RoG items with some toa bonuses.

Would be good to see him killed a couple more times to see if he has some more loot that he didn't drop. If not I guess we can always send feedback.

40 Dreads is over 2k BP's returned out of the 5k investment. Think of it as a way to turn BP's into RP's.

Why not just take a keep instead and spend no BPs?

Pet similar to the ones available from the Infernal auction. Basically a mini version of the dev controlled demons during one of the live events.

Variety?

Already in DF for some reason?


Look, I agree that the mob needed some real drops. But if they weren't super-duper drops of I-need-a-new-template-for-this, there'd be complaints about that as well.

How about they just give us something without a catch 22? This is a ten year celebration isn't it? Would it have been so awful to sell infernal sleeves (for 30p) AND leave coin on in laby or give us a new encounter in df without it costing 5k bp? What's so hard about giving us something without a catch 22? Seriously...

The other issue we found with it is if it's already summoned he's near impossible to take down. Thanks to Ulove he kept the Rocots in check while we formed up so that all that was in the room when we got there was the guy you talk to to start the encounter. I agree though it could have had some better drops, though 40 seals isn't bad but when you need almost 4 groups (don't think we would have the first time, the second time we did) that's not alot of seals to split. The second time we hit him when he was already active he wiped us out long before we could even think about it.

So he's Fat Boy that costs 5000 bps to do.
