So I was in a group 2 days ago running Madstone and we were fighting the last Skellie and had him surrounded near one edge and then he fell off! I've seen him knock others off his perch but never him fall off into one of the lava pits. We had to got down there to finally kill him. Weird. Anyone else have that happen?

Yep, just last night as a matter of fact. It was pretty nifty because at first he landed on the lava waterfall that is suspended halfway up the mountain (and inaccessable by melee). But then he eventually fell down into the pit.

Actually, not sure if its a bug, but we kind of enjoyed it. Made it a little more interesting. We had a ranger just dive right in after him, and we somehow got him to come up onto solid ground after a while.

He was also throwing us around with Telekenisis, which got a little tricky standing next to that lava pit. Good times...

Yup just last week it happened on a run I was on. A couple of the characters jumped after him and kept attacking (afraid he might rebound at full health if he got too far). Will never know since they managed to drop him before that happened.

My wizard was mostly an observer at that point since she had gotten hit with perhaps the most annoying Chaos ball effect for a caster - Tensors Transformation...yah right, other than giving flanking bonus I was next to useless for the next minute or so against that kind of mob.

So it looks like the suicide leap might be a new entry in his bag of tricks...:eek::D

Been at least four months since I ran Madstone, but it happened way back then as well. We had to range him because no one could withstand the lava to melee him. Fun stuff that was!

It happened when we were in an elite run with a slightly lower than recommended group level. He jumped off into the lava and allowed us to complete the quest. :eek::D

We Have Knocked him off many times as well, but focus to push him to the side that has the path leading up.. he will land there and Come back up to his perch. also its the same spot non-mellee types stand sometimes to avoid his spells.
