Acadechism loot - new buckler

[Ni]

<DIV>This is a mid-60s heroic instance in Greater Faydark, above Castle Crushbone. Like all EoF heroic instances, it has an 18 hour lockout, but you can revive inside it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway, we ran this last night and got 3 ornate chests: ring, helm, buckler. All items were Legendary, level 62. I am terrible about taking screens of new loot but the buckler was close to</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>+15str +15sta +10wis +5int (rare to see 4 stat boosts)</DIV> <DIV>+65 health/power</DIV> <DIV>+455 poison/fire(?)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Protection: 354 (slightly better than than the SoS Blyze buckler's 340ish)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It has a cool look, too, that I hadn't seen before.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The Blyze buckler has +63 vs slashing/crushing/piercing and +160 to all resists so it is very close in quality. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It has a 1% critical heal mod, so it is "intended" for a healer class but +1% is basically worthless so our templar let me roll too.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>DVinn is the boss mob, a level 66^^^ but he is half epic since he despawns at 75% and 50% health to be replaced by 2 66^^. When they die, he comes back with a clean hate list.  DVinn also throws a 2000hp magic AE and a 2000hp single target fire dd. The 70 ranger with us has 4600 resists in both and only took 400dmg from the AE. He never got hit by the fire dd.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We had 70 monk, 70 ranger, 64 sk, 62 zerk, 62 temp, 61 monk. DVinn won the firt time, but we revivied and beat him the second time. A wiz/warlock would have been nice to have.</DIV>

<div></div>yea my self and a warden friend tried to duo that zone, had no real issues (accept the manna draining glowing things, but as long as i got good taunts and aoe's before i was out of power then everything was fine) then we got the last guy and wiped like 5 times. we had him down to almost dead once but then he killed me and my healer soon after.as for his helpers that show up when he depops and 75 and 50, if you dont kill them fast enough he repops before they are dead and then you have three to fight instead of one.i got 2 cool looking 2 handers out of there (though ill never use them i wanted them just to walk around town with) as well as a fighters earring, and the warden got some healer thing (i dont pay much attention when i cant use it, but i think we will try it again so i can get the buckler <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
