Ixiblat Fer Difficulty
The Ixiblat Fer encounter could use some looking into, most of the data on allakazham and my experience from live suggest this mob is a little too easy at present. The encounter was recommended 24-30 people 55-60, should not be unrealistic to expect success with around 20-24 lvl 60's but currently on p99 he can be killed with a single group.
The issue seems to be both his attack power (he does not hit for maximum very often) and magic resistance (He is slowable but should not be as easy to do as it is presently). Allakhazam link with time appropriate comments (mob was unchanged through velious). http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=5213

I can attest to this, Ixiblat was trio'd with a mage epic pet and 2 BP cleric rotation.

While it definitely sounds like he's easier than he should be, are the people trio'ing it all doing it with the mage epic? Could it not be that the mage epic is a little more powerful than it should be?
Not saying Ixiblat isn't too easy, but it could be a mixture of both.

Seems Ixiblat is a Elemental also, and might be suffering from the contant nerfs on pets ect. | |||

Not sure I'd judge how many people it should take based on old forum posts. A lot of people back in the day weren't as methodical and exacting as the current P99 population. Also, when you bring all 60s to a fight instead of "average level of 50", it makes a huge difference. For instance, I duo'ed High Scale Kirn with a cleric while all the guides I was reading said to bring 2-3 groups.

There is a large difference between 3 players easily besting this mob and the multigroup encounter it was on live.
I'm not trying to say that Ixiblat Fer should be tuned to be a roadblock to clerics in less powerful guilds, but he should not be eyed upon as a source of revenue for single groups looking to farm cloak of flames. At present if ixiblat fer was replaced with the sebilite protector it would be more difficult.
