Can you prove that Zakum3 in fact has 110,000,000 HP?
Why are you so focused on how we'll verify something that isn't even there yet but OK with the info that is, yet equally unproven?
If I so chose, I could record a fight with Zakum using Fraps and add up my damage to it, and establish a range of its hp. Drops to me, are the most important part of fighting a mob. Exp is easily seen by fighting it. The numeric value of hp doesn't interest me, because I go on the basis of how much time or how many times I need to attack a mob to kill it. Drops on the other hand are not something that I can easily determine on my own. The only info I use from the mobs is their drops, most of the time, therefore, it is the only value that I truly care about.
The reason I am so focused on that is because hunting for drops takes time. I don't like wasting the time that I have available to play on hunting a mob that doesn't actually drop what a database says it drops.
