Clerics Rejoice

yes it will still be no drop but it will be much more common.

Great change, especially if they were also added to the random loot pool but at least with bonus rare spawns he should be much easier to get.

The rare flag adds him to the loot pool the same as others now.

Source?

It's how mobs spawned as rare work in that ruleset. I've seen nothing to assume he is being carved out to be an exception.

I hope you are correct in that he is added to the random pool. However we have already seen that rare mobs are not automatically included in the pool for whatever reason (see: most of the SONH rares). I'm not sure if rare flagging automatically adds things in or if it would need to be added in manually now that the pools have been created.

Wonder if theybwould tag Pawbuster in KC also as a rare.

The pools are what would make it easily automated since the rare mob pools are just based on mob level
