I soloed one of these as a NIN25/WAR12 it conned as Tough and I beat it without a problem he swings so slow and missed alot so by the time he killed my third shadow Utsusemi had recycled and recast only gettin interupted once or twice. What a chump ^.^
exping off these in Shakrami as a 24bst at (H-5). Firsttime i've seen the move "Death Scissors" that hit me for 225 points of DMG. Definately something to be cautious of.
Accidentally aggroed one of these things while I was wandering around doing the DRG quest. Level 30 RDM at the time, and I managed to kill it by myself, even with relatively crappy equipment. It was quite a while ago, so I don't recall quite how it went, but I remember it was a very close call. Got the stinger, too.
