The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Massive and imposing, the Illoke shaman towers over adventurers. It is more than three times the size of the largest giantman, with smooth grey skin and deep black eyes that glare out from under a heavy brow. The eyes regard potential victims with disdain, as if they were nothing more than an offering to be sacrificed. Chiseled deep into the forehead of the shaman, the symbol of Illoke glows red with power.
Hunting strategies
Illoke shaman have a maneuver attack when knocked prone via certain methods (regular attack to the legs, many spells, some maneuvers) that has a great chance of hurting a like leveled adventurer, especially a pure. It is recommended that shaman be knocked prone before they are killed to maximize safety. Effective ways to prone a shaman include sweep, tangle weed, lullabye, hamstring, tackle, e-wave, and unbalance. If killed while sitting this falling maneuver is still activated.
