After spending probably too much time trying to get battle rage in every way imaginable I succeeded in getting it off Smukk Foombool. I will be posting an unedited screenshot in a minute.

Battle Rage

It may sound strange, but the only way my group was able to trigger him to use battle rage was getting him to 25% hp, then dropping mass items on the ground and picking them up. Either this is a very strange bug, or one helluva dumb way to capture an elite skill. I highly suggest bringing a monk with heal area to heal him if you do not capture the first time his life goes below 25%, he only uses it once each time then you must heal him and repeat.

I figured i should post this even against others wishes because no one should have to go through this kind of hell trying to get a very necessary skill for certain builds. Enjoy.

Hehehe the great thing is though that when we get these last 2 skills we can lord it over everyone else

Gonna do a run for battle rage again in a day or 2 with my guild, have a couple ideas that I want to try out, if it works I'll try and give a step by step analysis of how I did it. I figure it's there, and that it shouldn't really be too hard to get, gonna do the whole disruptive chop again and probably try that on the custodian. I think I'll be able to get it once my guild finally gets up to snake dance, I hate going with henches, but will report back, wish me luck

Does anyone have rhyme or reason as to how they got BR yet?

G0nzo · May 28, 2005, 04:42 AM // 04:42

got br tonight

Ok, I can confirm that the item drop technique does in fact work for capturing Battle Rage off Smukk. I thought it was the stupidest idea ever, but I've tried everything else, so I gave it a shot.

We had 5 W/Mo, one N/W, one Mo/W. We got him low on health, aimed for under 25%. We then tried some ideas the other guys had, involving interupting his attacks under 25%. Then I suggest the item drop idea, and began dropping trash, and picking it back up (10-12 trash items).

I just kept picking them up and dropping, eventually he for some reason used it. I do not know if it was because of the item dropping or what, but I finally have it captured.

Muke · May 28, 2005, 07:39 AM // 07:39

I too have captured Battle Rage using the item drop method as well. I did notice that the more items you have the better chance you have of him using the skill. Bring a full first bag of junk at the least. Have the dropper self heal and drop all items. Then while keeping himself alive start picking them all up. He seems to use it close to or right after you pick up last item.

Once hes used it, comepletely back off of him and let him go back to start point. Switch places and have the guy that just got it be the dropper. He does need to be around 25% health as well.

Happy capping.

This begs the question, what will Dellus use if we do the item drop method on him? Warriors Endurance?

Eclair · May 28, 2005, 09:02 AM // 09:02

Can someone who has gotten obsidian flesh from the human boss in perdition rock explain to me how to track him down? From the map, it looks like he walks in a giant circle around the right side of the map? Does he spawn every time?

Seyda · May 28, 2005, 09:27 AM // 09:27

Just got Battle Rage with the (I thought it was total BS) item drop method. After that I went to Dellus and stood there dropping and picking up items while hitting SOC, couldn;t trigger anything.

RoxorMcownage · May 28, 2005, 03:37 PM // 15:37

It does infact work....thats retarded that dropping items makes battle rage work. I think I hate arena net.

super dooper · May 28, 2005, 04:49 PM // 16:49

lol, he gets mad when you drop items on his turf, eh? That's one more off list.. Thanks to the (no joke), genius, who came up with that.

Xennon · May 28, 2005, 05:38 PM // 17:38

Someone needs to go to Talus Chute and try this stuff out on Krogg Smush (the warrior troll there). He appears at the same places as WHuup Burmbull (in the cave directly left of the zone).

Unrealer · May 28, 2005, 06:40 PM // 18:40

Although many ppl say that you can get restore condition from "Spindle Agonyvein - Abaddon's Mouth - Spider" i went to him, cast tons of condictions such as blind, crippled, and he never used the elite.

Muke · May 28, 2005, 07:08 PM // 19:08

Unrealer he does have it. You have to put the conditions on his allies. Also, it's an extremely fast spell so you should have someone else doing it while you have him targeted ready to capture.

I forgot about that other troll in Talus. Gonna need to check him out.

Xennon · May 28, 2005, 11:35 PM // 23:35

I got a mail from a guy saying he got Battle Rage from Krogg Smush (the troll in Talus Chute) and that he got it quite easily. He reckons the Snake Dance guy is bugged cause he's managed it pretty easily off this guy :-/

We need some people without BR to go testing :-)

Lionel23 · May 28, 2005, 11:40 PM // 23:40

For those of you trying to get Battle Rage, I got it first try while helping my girlfriend get escape from the troll caves just outside the Forge. The boss (Shmuch something, not Wubbledum or whatever) warrior has the skill and uses it very frequently. Beats making a run out to Snake Dance, and I've confirmed it twice already. He appears or the ranger boss, so if you see the ranger and search the 3 cave entrances, then reload the zone and try again. I've emailed the guy who has the Elite Skill listing with map up there, use the Ranger skill map for Escape to know the locations. Hope it helps you guys!

i can conferm that the troll boss in the snake dance area does have Battle Rage, i just captured it, after some 5 days and over 50+ tries i finally got it,
i bet i spammed siged that mob boss 1000+ times but i got it, <VBG>

Raumoheru · May 29, 2005, 03:03 AM // 03:03

yes i finaly got Battle Rage also. he did not actualy use the skill i just hit Signet of Capture right after i picked up my last item i droped.

RepinsMirg · May 29, 2005, 03:15 AM // 03:15

I just got it from Krogg Smush after three hours. But the thing is I think it is truly bugged because I remember reading about the people dropping there items and after picking up the last one they just get the skill without him using it. Well after getting frustrated I just tried that for the hell of it and low and behold the second after I pick up my last item and click signet I start the capture it suprised the shit out of me.

[QUOTE=Last Gasp]Nature Dragon in the dragon mission is bugging me. It should, and probalby does have an elite skill, we just have to figure out how to trigger it, or maybe submit some type of bug report.

Looking at the list of elite skills, only the following do not seem to require a bow:

...

Muddy Terrain - Trumped by pin down, especially since he won't chase anybody more than a few feet, much less an entire group.

muddy terrain is not an elite skill, i can buy it.

Fuse · May 29, 2005, 12:25 PM // 12:25

The nature dragon has melandrus resilience. just make him suffer under as many conditions and hexes as possible, then use your SoC. You wont see him using the skill because its a stance.
And i also can confirm that Smuuk Woomboogwhatever has battlerage and that the item drop thingy works!!
