Pixxt Deathbinder in Korafax

[Lorce]

Been farming this awhile now and have came a crossed some difficulties and just wanted to get some information from others experiences.

So far I have about 10 hours at the camp. I know the camp is the big circle room in the Southeast corner of the zone. So far it seems that any Ikaav or Anuek can be a PH. I have gotten the name from the first stationary mob to the left, first stationary mob to the right, and the third stationary mob to the right (all locations given are given as if you are standing at the door looking into the room).

Now for my difficulty. I have gotten the name to spawn three times so far. My group is me a warrior in top of the line SoF group gear, a rog in low end SoF raid gear, and his shaman box in top of the line SoF group gear. We keep up as many mercs as required depending on there mana.

First time the named spawn, we kill her, nothing happens very straightforward fight. With final stand running she was hitting about 3.5kish max and it was an easy fight. We got our loot and were happy to keep camping

Next time she spawns we expect the fight to go the same. We are beating her down with no problems then at 5% she starts to cast a spell called "Consuming Flames" The spell has a 5second casting time and when she finishes it she has 2% health. The spell is a short range 30k dd ae, the shaman is out of range, and the rog and I eat the ae with out much issue. A merc dies but not a big deal. The problem was that after casting the spell the named just disappeared. Didn't gate, in fact she even left my target box. She just vanished and no loot for us.

We get pissed and try and figure out what happened. We come to the conclusion that as a last resort this named must always cast a suicide AE at 5% health and in order to get the loot you have to kill her the last 5% before she can finish.

Have horrible luck for like 6+ hours of clearing the room with no named. Finally we get a named to pop and we attack with a new strategy. We are going to save all discs until 20% then just all out burn her in order to kill her before she can finish casting her suicide spell. Obviously we are doing less DPS early in the fight then before, but we think we are ok because she only cast the spell when she is about to die. All of a sudden at about 35% health she casts "Consuming Flames" she kills our merc again and de-spawns. We get mad and decide not to do this camp until we figure out some more information so here I am.

My newest guess is that the spell is just cast after being on someones agro list for a certain amount of time. The first time we must have had the most DPS and killed her before that time limit, second time we were close to having enough DPS but came just 2% short, and the third time since we saved discs we were significantly short of DPS. This would make sense to me, because my group is only half a group, and we obviously have less DPS then a full group of 6.

Another guess is that she just randomly casts this spell and you need to interrupt it in order to kill her. This would be awful, but since I haven't heard any other stories of this mob doing this, I think it is only limited to groups with low DPS.

A few questions I was hoping other ppl to do this camp could answer.

Are just the stationary mobs PHers? On my server Korafax is always completely empty, and if we could just kill PHers and then move to another camp and kill its PH this camp would be more tolerable.

Does anyone think its possible that after the named despawns she respawns in another location? We didn't have a tracker, but we looked around the general area and didn't see her anywhere.

If a mob despawns and respawns in a seperate location, would she leave my target box?

Do you think the mob despawning is a bug and she is supposed to just cast a nasty AE DD?

If it is a bug, could it be related to the merc dieing to the AE?

Has anyone had this happen to them while in a high DPS group? Or has anyone else just had this happen to them in general?

I think it could be a bug due to I had a similar situation killing Ezal. I had a monk outside of group die and the merc then died. the wizard outside of group actually saw the Ezal has died message, but no corpse, no mob, just poof. I think it is something with mercs dieing, but not sure.

Apparently it happens in Old Bloodfields as well. Appears that the Devs are aware of it and have done code changes to fix it.

I camped this room for about 8 hours and had no luck with getting the namer to spawn. The ikaavs would repop as aneuks, which would charm our puller and he would die horribly over and over.

I do seem to remember namers in old bloodfields would depop after a period of time. Thangrel and Emlyxi both come to mind. This issue was patched a few weeks back though.

Those charming anueks are a pain in the ass. I had hoped the new AAs that help with charm resists would help but they appear to do nothing against that charm spell.

Camped this guy for about 6 hours, long enough to get 2 cutters, group makeup was War x2, Zerker, Ranger, Sham, Clr

I would say we have rather above average dps for a group but we never saw anything close to what you described it is my understanding that any Anuek can be a ph, hope that helps.

[Jenski]

That's a different mob, Dshiz. Same crap to deal with in terns of the aneuks and ikaav trash, though.

I camped Pixxt Deathbinder for several hours over 3 days. Mob seemed to spawn every couple of hours, sometimes less. It's definitely fixed, though, as the mob didn't poof on me. The camp is challenging, for sure. As Arnach says, pulling the aneuks can be rough. The ikaavs have a 3k HP, 2.5k mana drain AE DoT that has to be cured ASAP.

My experience has been that the named can spawn from any of the non-wandering trash (excluding the girplans, of course). Has anyone seen it spawn from the mobs that roam around in their quadrant?

I went back about a week ago. Camped it for about 2 hours, got named and he dropped what I wanted so I am done. It seems to have been fixed.
