Does mitigate slow, at 62 all other spells stuck, cept for a couple of resists on cold DD's. Summons, though in my case only my warder.I was self-buffed with lousy HP/AC potion only. Sent in Warder and played pet-cleric till mana was @ 30, then joined in the fun. Used damage and defensive disc, dropped him when my health was 3%, yes 3%. A close run thing, as they say. Would be cakewalk with healer/tank combo @ 60

My Alts Had a Field Day today.

Took him down 2 times in a row and both my 51 War and 51 Cleric got new Rings today. I slowed him with my 75 Shammy and then he was history. My Pet and I beat him up like he was a lightweight contender in a heavyweight title fight.

It is a nice Alt Ring and Stats Count Immediately!

Soloed by a 65 bard for my friend's 49 SK :P

Died the first try because I didn't notice (nor did I expect) enrage. Took 2 HoT potions, but with maxed evasion AAs and nearly-maxed Defensive AAs, along with 64 slow, he wasn't hitting often, or for too much. Max hit was around 550 though.
He's back in '07

Dispatched five place holders(non fabled eldaks) then fabled spawned followed by one additional ph and then the fabled again. When I left he was a non fabled spawn again.
Fableds are still here

yup he's there. don't think he was there last night, nor was fabled soothsayer or chief. seems fabled in FM were a little late to the party this year. saw him today though, tried to solo him and had to gate.
hits for 600 and summons, didn't seem to have a lot of hp, got him to 60% before gating. shadowknight came back and killed him.
=)

[Orange][/Orange][b][/b]I got a group together and we got this ring pretty easily for about 7 people.
Tough, but doable

Muhahaha, soloed this guy just now on CT server, was tough fight, **** killed me twice while I was working on my battle plans. Pulled with wake the dead, tossed FP, horror, and bot and alternated CoB tanking and me tanking. Used LB and swarm 1 on him too, but didn't have to once I figured it out. 66 nec 4452 hp w/ conviction on me and pet (aye, my gear sucks, but I know what to do with it ;-)Best hit was 552 on me, rages, unsnareable, and summons.
trick?

not sure if this was just an odd coincidence or an actual trick to gettin fabled eldak to spawn more often, but... i noticed that if we left mentrax alone and did not kill him we got the fabled eldak almost every time... where as if we killed mentrax we got the regular eldak almost every time... strange coincidence? maybe... but do ya rly need to kill mentrax? r ya rly that bored? lol
Treesong is right :)

If you do not already have better rings, go for this guy. Notice I typed "rings". That's right, get two for each character if you want, they are not lore :)

With my level 61 mage and 61 shammy boxed together I was able to take him down with no problems.

The first time I forgot about enrage (he does it at 10%) and both pets died, but I landed a 4k crit right then and then amazingly enough, a 3.5k crit and he was dead. He did beat me down to 50% life while I was casting, hehe.

His spawn rate was 50/50 for me too. I scored rings for all my alts and one for myself. All in all, a very nice camp if you can use the rings.

Seems like almost any 61+ duo could take him down, especially if you slow him a bit. I have to say I am very happy with the Fabled npc's. It would be cool if SOE left them in the game, they add a neat element and allow people to get some good gear with a little effort.
Good reward for relatively easy fight.

I equipped all my alts with these fine rings. Sometimes I got three regular Eldak's in a row, but also got three Fabled in a row. I am thinking the averagae is about 50/50.
This mob is a LOT easier then the Fabled Gullerback. Eldak can be slowed (partially), hits for less and less often and has much less hitpoints. Figures, since the fabled Eldak is level 55 and the Fabled Gullerback is 60, but you get a mighty fine ring for a relatively easy mob.

Go get it! (if you do not have better.....)

Simple kill

# Mar 28 2005 at 10:23 AM Rating: Decent
Is he doable with a party of 5 with level ranges between 52 and 55? Anyone know what he hits for? Thinking of taking my buddies over to get a ring for a few of us.

Not too tough to do

I tanked him with my 63 Bst the other day (77 AA's mostly defensives) Now I did have a 66 cle and a 64 cle along from my guild. Only one cle needed to keep me healed, other melee'd and nuked. wasn't too tough. My mage alt was along at 63 as well.
Easy

Duoed him with a 65 beast and 63 druid. summonsed and is not snareable. Was an easy kill and he dropped the ring.

Soloed him with a lvl 68 bst, make sure you are fully buffed with 100m though but you can solo him relatively easily.
well..

My 56sk and a 54 sk friend where gonna attempt to duo it but I didnt think we could survive. Was going tp attempt to fearkite him lmao

Nice!

A really nice ring comin from a surprisingly easy encounter. The original eldak was killed 3 times before the fabled spawned.

Killed him with 70 BL and 65 Cleric
he enraged below 10% health but it was a weak enrage.

Mitigated slow if i remember correctly, also summoned, was way easier than the nurga fables :)
