This somewhat orc-like looking humanoid creature is surrounded with an eerie white glow and appears to be transparent. An abundance of excessively wrinkled skin and long bushy grey eyebrows serve to make spectral miner appear ancient.
Hunting strategies
The best strategy for hunting spectral miners is to stance dance for all professions and hunting styles except CS-casting ones, although stance dancing may be good for them too depending on the spells use. Miners have a really low DS for their level and are always in offensive stance when genned. Many professions also have quite an easy time uphunting them if they are very cautious to not get caught in offensive stance when a miner uses its AS-boosting ability.
