The Ravenian (Classic)

The Ravenian was a level 43 elite wight mini-boss found in Scholomance.

Abilities

 * Cleave - Inflicts 110% of normal melee damage to an enemy and its nearest allies, affecting up to 3 targets.
 * Knock Away - Inflicts normal damage plus 30 to an enemy and knocks it back.
 * Sundering Cleave - Hacks at the armor of an enemy and its nearby allies, affecting up to 3 targets. A target's armor is reduced per Sundering Cleave applied. Can be applied up to 5 times. Lasts 30 sec.
 * Trample - Inflicts Physical damage to nearby enemies.

Strategy
His abilities are physically oriented, including a cleave, sunder (-1440 ac per appliance) and knock away. He also does a trample that will hit all nearby players. At five sunders, the tank will be at -7200 armor, and the healer certain to oom if he hasn't already.

His room can be used later to prevent a wipe, simply because undead cannot swim and his room is filled with water.

Loot
The Ravenian has a chance to drop one of the following items. It is not guaranteed, however, that he will drop anything at all.

Trivia
His name may be a reference to the poem 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe, though given the description that he devours students in the Scholomance who fail to be diligent in their studies, it may just as well be a play on the word ravenous.
