I used to run this guy for awhile when a DM said he was an epic boss. I never believed that simply because he's so forgettable. He doesn't seem like anything different from the lizardmen leading to him at all. Given I've never seen him drop after a few weeks of running him and the hike it takes to reach him I just decided to nix him off my list.

I don't bother with Babylon anymore because I keep forgetting which gems I need and I can't be bothered to play "watch the summons beat up beholders" game to bother with majesty anymore.

I miss illithid, but Tormak is insane. If that guy were coded to non-stop mind-blast I don't think any build possible could get ît to 75% and live. Heheh.

I've found that if I'm building to a concept I can't hunt bosses at all. As a sneak you really can't kill most bosses without a party unless you have HiPS, and even then your tactics feel really dirtyand are really expensive.

As a spell sword who hasn't taken any of the epic nuke spells yet I find it so daunting I don't even bother. That said, Gerald isn't a very good measure of how hard something is. His build is a joke right now. Still, I honesty don't think moody of the bosses should be ready to solo so a good number of them since their objective.

I feel that Tormak hit the nail on the head, and he more or less described how I feel. Read his excellent post.

[quote="TormakSaber"the Desert Beetle Matriarch may as well fuckin' be a +5 boss for how hard it is compared to its spawns holy crap[/quote]

Oh god the one most people stumble into after minotaurs? I remember running into that thing and it took my party almost ten minutes of straight punishment at full buffs to kill that thing xD
