On a side note, reason I started ignoring Zop is when I tried to kill him Aithos would always start bolting me when Zop was on about 30%. Happened a few times, then I thought why not just go straight for Aithos (all this with a charmed sally ofc).
Unlucky, but not to out of the ordinary, ive had bad runs like that during farming 1.1.
Oh and there is nothing wrong with ignoring Zop, if you read the texts it just says that Aithos is weaker when he is dead (or something on those lines).

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...the A(nimist)-Team
You only have to kill Aithos. The problem is if you did not kill the other two guys, Aithos fireballs will hit for 500 and more damage. It is possible with a decent PBAoE group (4+ PBAoErs) if you take him down within a few seconds... or the druids won't be able to heal that... don't know if they weakend the fireball damage with the last patch though.

Trick to make him not fireball is to stand in melee range of him and do absolutely nothing that would get u on his aggro list (nothing at all basically, cept HoT).
yea drop rate is funny, we done it about 150-200 times with my brother for 2 rings,,, first one droped after the 5-10th try then a long long way till the other one droped

Well he still nukes u, tryed that alot of times and got nuked anyway.
Him nuking seems random, and killing the candle stick takes like 30 sec if u hit hit his candles hard enough.

I spent prolly 5 or 6hours dying before I finally figured out the aggro rules on that island and what not to do, then have done it 15+ times like I said and have never had him nuke me once after I worked it out. If you do pretty much anything other than /stick him (staff hit him and miss, throw 1 heal, walk out of melee range) he will bolt you till u die. No idea about more peeps in grp, but i suspect if anyone else in grp does something similar he will start to go crazy again.
Oh and killing the candles is not fast if both ur DDs are heat-based and the only alternative souce of damage is a baseline DoT .

Stun the flames and send sally on it, works pretty well (else duo with light eld to speed it up).
