I'm inclined to say that the stun breath was classicly not functioning properly as an AE. It looked like a proc/single target spell. It also looks quite rare as in that 3 minute fight they only see it firing once. You don't even see resist messages for the AE stun.
There is no way people are out ranging that 200' AE based on how stacked they are in that video. It must've just been broken as a single target for awhile.
You can also see that a level 60 cleric, with what I would imagine is decent resists (they likely aren't even 255 as he doesn't have a bard), gets feared 4 times for 4s, 8s, 4s, 4s. And there are people there who are not getting feared each time, likely bard groups.

took 3 full groups against this thing, no one was kos, we hadn't killed enough rats yet, but now we all are kos to him. if you attack a rat by him he will aggro, but other than that if your non kos you can sit in his room and buff up and do CR there. We had 3 groups, 3 clerics, 2 chanters, shaman, tanks, pet classes. Basically 3 well balanced groups. It was over in about 1 minute. everyone dead, we had maybe taken off 10 to 15% of his hp. He only max hit for 315 and his 2 dots were deadly, but nothing that could have killed me that fast. I rechecked my logs from the fight and noticed it sayed "your eardrums begin to explode" a few times, he must have some other AE dd that was killing us as well. He also AE fears, but not often. I dunno how anyone can take this thing down. he was insanely hard, but I still dunno how he killed us so fast.

The message you were getting about "Your eardrums explode" is from the multiple TRAPS that are all around his lair. They WILL do serious damage if not disarmed by a qualified Rogue. Web Pages have stated that once they are disarmed, they are out of commission for 30 seconds, but we found it to be a little longer than that. Maybe each trap has its own unique properties *shrug*

I will investigate to see if maybe the stun breath is allocated to him incorrectly and perhaps it's a proc from the traps instead?
