If you have disco, they become much easier to beat with your tamer.
But really, don't bother with them. They're no longer worth the trouble since the publish that made shame loot global. Their loot is trash now, just like unbound EVs loot.

They aren't too bad as far as damage dealt to GD but they take a long time with or without disco and as Bealank said, their loot is low and pretty much worthless compared to other quicker kills.
What would be a better and quicker kill in your opinion?
Dunno about his opinion, but balrons fall way quicker, have a lot more loot, with higher intensity and give you a lot of fame and karma. And if you kill them in Blackthorn's they also give you a chance to get minax arties.What would be a better and quicker kill in your opinion?
But if you are in for a long, boring fight with trash loot, go fight Navrey instead. The fight will last about the same of that against an eternal gazer and you will have a chance to get a tangle/night eyes/3.0 pink while getting really trashy loot!

With a decent sampire and a demon slayer weapon (I personally like the Radiant Scimitar, imbued, for the bladeweave special) you can go to blood dungeon and have a quick solo spawn. It is not a long run to the gate if you need a rez. Becareful of the paragons, they are tough but doable but you may have to run and heal a few times. The loot is so/so but the gold adds up quick. A tamer with a nice luck suit will rack up better loot their than a sampire. Here are different places the Balron spawns.
The Balron in hythloth.
Two spawn in the room with it. You can lure these outside and close the door after. If you don't have invis spell use potions to make it easier.
Forgot about fan dancer dojo, yeah the Balron there is quite isolated. Thanks!
Tsuki wolves on Homare - stay topside of the road and avoid the bake kitsunes.
This should go on the warrior forums, but eh, dungeon blackthorn, suit yourself with an undead slayer weapon and a 100% cold double strike weapon and hit either the rotting corpses room or the exodus minions room on the lower end of the dungeon.
I know...thing is I have a Tamer and a Warrior so it kind of slipped from one to the other.
Thanks!
Blood Dungeon in illshenar spawns 1 balron by itself in a big room, be careful if it spawns paragon though I sometimes get jumped on my best templates.
Nice!
Thought I would share my experiences as well. With regards to eternal gazers I struggled with them and had to recall out. Afterwards, I used the consume damage mastery and my GD could tank it fine, but its almost impossible to get it below 4 or 8% health. So I logged in my second account and brought in another GD and it dropped to 0% health but wouldn't quite die, So I had to spam Corp Por from both mages I had on screen. Then it finally died. Yes the loot is crap, but I was training the GD and the shadow ele available had wrestling/tactics that were too low, so I 'trained' it on the eternal gazer, maxed out wrestling/tactics and even pushed resist up quite a bit. Everything people say here is correct, it is in no way worth it. These rooms used to have Elder Gazers which people would afk farm with 5 dragons in tow. And they would never leave, You couldn't do enough damage to loot them and if you invis'ed his pets he could report you and get you banned. So in short it was crap even when it was elder gazers instead of eternal. I think the eternal gazers are the way they are now as a way of dealing with all the complaints that came about during that time.
With regards to Blood Dungeon, with consume damage the GD holds up extremely well against a Balron. The paragon version might require you to heal your GD, but at no where near the frequency it was before the TOL content. Gone are the days where I go through 500-1k bandages fighting balrons in 30-45 minutes. To give you a complete picture I tried this with 2 GDs, one was a 3.6 and the other a 4.0. My real taming lore (relevent to mastery) is 120/120 and I have all 3 primers
I wanted to also note that honor killing the balron will take you to Knight of Honor, and in my opinion is the easiest monster to do so (Succuubus has AOE life leech and will switch target to you). It does a lot of damage but it has far less HP than a wild GD and goes down much quicker. I don't view the Paragon version of it as enough of a disadvantage to overlook the blood dungeon.

It also has Blood Eles nearby that you can solo until you can take the Balron. The paragons are nasty, but doable if you're very careful.
I like the Efreets near the Garg city and Demons near the Ancient Wrym spawn as well in Ilsh if you can't do the Efreets.
Don't do the Ancient Wrym.
Actually, Thrasher in Fel Grove also takes you to knight of honour and he is much easier and faster to kill with pets than a balron.
Provides good wrestling training too.
