Harpy Warith, and her drops!

For being one of the hardest bosses in this game to kill the drops should be updated to more modern items. I know way back when these weapons were epic, but to today's standard they aren't so much anymore other than saying you killed her.

And I when I say "Killed her" I mean like a real man farming out in the field near the wall not too far from town, not a kid farming in the village garden....
It's a game and I'm proud to be a stupid fail demon barb!
My EPIC Fail Demon Barb has 40k/48k HP and my stat points are as follows:
VIT 552 STR 310 DEX 60! b:surrender

    Considering that a sin, BM or Archer can solo it, the drops are just fine.
    I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.
    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.

    Might as well fix that while they're at it b:chuckle

    But the Demonling weapons could indeed use a slight buff, perhaps put them between TT99 and R8.

    They could give Harpy the buffs from new Aba and SoT bosses, plus a bramble. It should also be able to aoe randomly stun or freeze + seal or occult ice or sleep, so genies would need to be made specifically to fight it. b:shocked

    But seriously, one way to improve the Harpy weapons would be giving them a second cast, maybe? Make the harpy drop rare gold mats used for that recast and there you go. You'd need to kill it over and over to get the new version, which could indeed be anywhere between TT99 and R8.

    I was actually thinking of giving her an AoE that deals like 50k damage, but gets split between targets.

    Say if someone tries to solo it, gets slapped with a 50k hit. They try to duo it, both get a 25k hit. Full 10 man squad, everyone gets a 5k hit.

    That way you reallly have no choice but to tackle it with a large group of people.

    Recast... I don't know, probably the only way since I have yet to see any already existing items getting a major change. Between TT99 and R8 seems like a sweet spot to me, nothing too big since Harpy's respawn time makes for a rather short supply, yet something that would still sell for enough to make killing her worth doing.

    If they improve her drops they need to give her a random spawn timer or else she will be monopolized.

    That's a lot of well-geared alts to keep track of, then. Because if any of them die, it only gets worse for the rest.

    15 mil HP is a fair bit to chew through, though. It would still take 3 5aps R9+12 sins a good 5 to 10 minutes to take it down. Long enough for the AoE bit to set in, I think.
