Talk:Minotaur (Shiverpeaks)

Rush
Noticed outside of frost cave, as seen on this : screenshot I've added the skill to the list if that's not a problem. --80.3.64.13 01:52, 7 December 2006 (CST)

lvl 27 minotaur with gold lining outside on hard mode, add that to the levels. go ice tooth cave and walk out, at the mino pack just north and you'll see him, rezone if you don't.

You probably saw this guy. It's a different creature so the level for this non-boss minotaur in HM shouldn't get changed. (T/C) 01:26, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

farming
if you want a farming build a standard splinter+barrage build works great


 * Except that SplinterBarrage doesn't work very well any more since its cooldown skyrocketed --Gimmethegepgun 22:59, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

No it didnt. It was a typo said izzy, it lasts a flat 20 now. -- frvwfr2  (talk)(contributions) 23:06, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

The fastest way to farm these is to aggro a group, target the closest minotaur, cast Spirit Rift while the stragglers are still coming, then activate Ancestors' Rage and Light of Deldrimor right afterwards. If they're all close enough, the group will die right away, before they have time to activate Endure Pain. Splinter Barrage is good to keep as a backup in case the group is too large or you don't get them all with the first three skills. All in all, it's a very quick way to dispose of these beasts.

Damage Type Dealt
I was just wondering if any of you could do a test whether they deal piercing/slashing damage etc. I'd do it myself, but i'm not sure how :s.
 * To do it would require something that gives +armour against slashing/piercing. Necros have the armour with +armour vs piercing and there are shields. Unfortnately I don't have any items at the moment that meet the criteria and thus cannot test for you --Blue.rellik 18:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure that they deal Blunt Damage because they use Irresistible Blow in HM.
