As of Cataclysm launch, this area is the 'back entrance' to Mount Hyjal & all Hederine related mob's have been removed from the game.

Its just not efficient as hell. I do not suggest this if you have a choice to have someone help you. I tried a long time to get people to help me and no one was available so i slowly solo'd them

I can solo kite these with swp and dispel.
first you NEED running speed increase to boots enchant (or the AB version of it).
You cannot out run them without it.

Start with mindblast, and swp. run. 10 seconds later cast dispel on him. 8 seconds later when swp runs out (or 10 seconds again depending on your spec) cast swp again. Repeate again and again.. and again.

You pretty much kite him to everlook... AND back. It takes a good 5 - 6 minutes for me as disc/holy.
When he gets close to you (do not let him get within mellee) renew inner fire as its probably has a few seconds left, shield yourself, wait out the weakend soul then renew run back at him fear. If he resists though your in trouble. Often when he resists i reshield renew and run so he leashes back as i've only survived a resist once and still killed him.

as their health gets lower they run slower allowing you more breathing room. Around 20% you can start out running them so make sure you don't run out of range and they leash back.

If you have the patience you can do it. Its not efficient. Most people don't have the patience to do this and it probably is better to just wait for people to be available

I treat them just like a stone guardian in Un'Goro. Keep em rooted, moonfire DoT up, and starfire in the meantime. Then just weave them back and forth between two points (watch for patrols that may add). Had to innervate a couple times when roots broke almost instantly 3 times in a row and I wasted mana on healing and re-rooting.

I got lucky and had an eye drop after killing about 20. Priest in my raid was a happy boy. ;)

Bet I could farm another... maybe I'll sell it.

Wow... I got two more a couple days later (within an hour of each other).

Seems like spamming wrath works better on these guys. Go down faster and root doesn't break as often...

Kommentar von Thottbot

I tryd solo one of those when i was lvl 58, i had some resists on it that could cost me my life, so i ran away. I was allmost lvl 59 so i grinded some yetis, at 59 i got back there, and i killed one succesfull. First kill, eye dropped. Lucky? Maybe, but i went back to orgrimmar since its no use to farm more of them (unique item)
got 380g for mine. easy money.

Kommentar von Thottbot

As a lvl60 frost-spec mage I find these redicilously easy to solo. 5/5 Frostbite helps a lot, and so do mana-gems. If you are a lvl60 frost-mage and you can't solo these you are doing something wrong.

Kommentar von Thottbot

When I pull one it pulls the other...

Are you frost mages taking on two at once?

Kommentar von Thottbot

hahaha i just went there trying to "farm" them, but i didnt knew that they were elites, i just used my mind blast and watched "wtf" he didnt loose any hp almost, then he came near me and made 1 melee strike and i died, after that i took res sickness and went to bed. :/

Kommentar von Thottbot

Its all about luck. Went there today, first kill, first eye. Gonna go back there in a few weeks, don't wanna push my luck to much.

Kommentar von Thottbot

can someone please post the cords?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Walk until you are in range of one, then face the other way, start running as you click on Curse of Shadows then Corruption as you briefly go out of range *they should catch up*, while you are running throw down any other instant casts you have *siphon life mainly*.

That should take about 3-4 seconds, then turn around and Fear. It is essential that curse of shadows is ALWAYS on, as just a single fear resisted and your warlock ass is dead *800 dmg normal hits, 1200 dmg non crit mortal strikes*.

From this point keep him fear locked, reapply DOTs and throw a few shadowbolts. If he runs out of range Dark Pact/Life Tap while following JUST in range. Keep doing this and have your finger on Death Coil. If they resist a single fear and are close hit death coil immediately and refear.

These aren't the pussy elites that you are used to, it may be cheap but is it essential that they spend THE ENTIRE FIGHT FEARED

It is never a bad idea to fear them while they are feared.

Step 1. Fear
Step 2. ?
Step 3. Collect eye of shadow

(step 4. Level to 58 XD)

lvl 57lock pwnd em lol.. awesome xp, nice drops, wud suggest any locks at lvl 56+ to give it a shot.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Druids can easly solo them.

Start with root, then maybe a faerie fire at the beginning and a moonfire.
Continue with starfire untill root breaks, and re-root it then continue with starfire again.
do this 2-3min and it will be dead.

I did this quite easy with my lvl 60 RESTO druid(almost full epic 7k mana-78mana every 5sec and 4k health)

The best would be if you were an balance druid\BOOMkin^^ then you could atleast survive 6-7 hits from the Hederine slayer. with some nice critts you would be able to kill it on 1min

I grinded there around 2 hours and got 2x eye of shadow(mailed the first I got to my alt:p)

Kommentar von Thottbot

im lvl 60 priest, soloing them is just about keeping distance, i run them around those big broken towers next to were they spawn and just put dots on them and after a few mins of running around and repeditivly dotting they drop.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well, these are pretty easy for a hunter, it just takes about 3-4 minutes to down one.

I usually lay a frost trap, then aimshot, multishot, and autoshot till he hits the trap. Then I back up and do the same attacks, but this time I start to kite him. I also let my pet atack it *without growl* so he draw aggro, as these 4 hit kill him. I'll just keep running and shooting multishot and 1 autoshot, then waiting 10 secs, and multishot and autoshot again, until its dead. It may be a little slower than others, but it wont let you run out of mana.

At first, you may kite it all the way to everlook, but after a while, I was able to kill them halfway to everlook, or sooner depending on crits.

I've killed about 20 of these now, but still no eye. I'll keep doing it though, because 20 aint that much chance for it to drop.

Kommentar von Thottbot

insanely easy for a lock..Curse of shadows, fear, dot, spam Shadowbolt, refear, maybe throw an immolate down, keep dots up, keep casting fear...i just killed 2 in less then 5 minutes, got the Eye off the second one. they never even touched me. 58 lock

Kommentar von Thottbot

If your a hunter here is some quick fun...kite these guys and everyone near there to everlook and let him kill the guards...or if u feel like soloed with little if any effort.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Can a Sword Combat Rogue solo theses mobs?

Kommentar von Thottbot

crippling poison

cheapshot, ss/hemo/bs, gouge run = 4-5 points

----------------------------
If 4 points, go gouge it once more. Then do below.

If 5 points, kidneyshot, ss/hemo/ as much as you can just make sure you can finish with a gouge without it getting out of stun. Run.

Wait for diminishing returns of KS to finish, be safe and wait 17 seconds.
----------------------------
Repeat.

Notes
This is seriously not worth it though, takes ages.

Gouge has no diminishing returns on mobs. Don't think of it as a chance to gouge an enemy to death, you can miss and with elite mobs like this you will die very fast.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I am a mage, specced 29/0/22 and I can solo them no problem. Start off with frostbolt from max range, keep that up. When he gets near frost nova then run as far as possible in 5 seconds, then repeat. next time he comes near you, use blink, hit him once with frostbolt, then when he comes use frost nova, etc,etc.

I havent gotten an eye yet but ive killed a bunch heh.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It seems a good pally would be able to solo these things( at least one at a time ) You Judgement of crusader on them and put on a SoC or SoR and beat the living (or unliving if demons count as being dead) crap out of them . im a holy pally so i always have mana to heal myself with. only use LoH when it's truely desperate and u cant run away. also (iv never tried yet) Discombobulators might work on these but im not sure. better to have a shield and sword but if u have a 2hd weapon( i had shadowstrike ) it should go down easy dont forget to use your exorsism spells and u might get an EyE of Shadow within the first 6 drops like me.

Aibhean lvl 60 holy pally Khas'goroth

Kommentar von Thottbot

POST patch... i thought I was pretty hot stuff when I managed to solo one last night as a 41 Protection pally. Reckoning + IronFoe + HandofJustice + Judgement of Light + Seal of Reckoning... and a health pot, 2 shields, and LoH later, I was a proud owner of... 3 Runecloth.

I couldn't have done a second one afterwards without LoH up again. These things dish out so much damage that half the time you're just healing.

On my 60 mage, though, it's weaksauce. Full frost spec, and even without freezing them in place with FB's I get in 5 frostbolts before it closes, then FrostNova/Blink, another 4, Water Elemental can Freeze when you need. Less than a minute per kill; no Eye today but I did 10 kills in 20 minutes or so.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I am a Frost Mage, and I always kill these before they even get over the bridge. I am kiting of course.

Kommentar von Thottbot

...to use a Affliction-specced warlock.

I'm currently specced 46/5/0. Thats a lot of Affliction-talents and they come in handy. With my (quite lousy) gear i i can easily solo these with less than 20% life and mana when starting.

I start with Curse of Shadow. That curse greatly increase both DoT-damage and Fear-length. Corruption does roughly 200 per tick, Unstable Affliction does almost the same, Siphon Life gives me 70 health per tick and Drain Life gives me around 135 health per second.

Keep them feared all the time and have all DoT's applied all the time. With all DoT's up it's just to Drain Life / Life Tap to always have almost full health and mana. If Fear failes, just Death Coil or Howl of Terror (which is instant if you put two points in it) and re-Fear.

You'll get a lot of Nightfalls (Shadow Trance) from all DoTs and just when Fear breaks you can use it (with a Shadow Bolt) to do a bit of extra damage.

60 Warrior with 5/8 T2, 6039 health

After a few seconds in combat I ran like hell. Didn't stand a chance.

300+ Immolates and 700+ Shadowbolts. Even with Shield Bash/Pummel, I could only stop one or the other, and either one would cripple fast. As a prot warrior, I don't have a lot of damage output, so... Hard elites :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

disc/holy priest. minor run speed enchant on boots. Easy to kite with SWP and Devouring plague. try to run over/through tiny obstcles as it helps hinder there path. Keep dot up at all times or you'll lose combat (written as of patch 2.0.5). Every so often you'll get far enough to MB or if you want to holy fire just for that extra little dot then scream if it gets too close. It takes a while but very easy.

prolly easier as a shadow priest and same method works for locks/hunters - just swap dots with pet and steal aggro as needed

Kommentar von Thottbot

OMG these ones aint normal. My priest (discipline) attacked 1 and he liked killed me in 6sec. ive hunted frostmaul giants and cobalt elites but these ones aint normal

Kommentar von Thottbot

Maybe I am doing this wrong but, as a L60 Shadowpriest with some Discipline, I am now finding that the kiting manoeuvre no longer works. I am SWPing and Vampiric Touching and then I set off. He follows me for about fifteen seconds then his afflictions clear and he runs back. I tried renewing the SWP both after it drops and before it drops - but no luck. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's very annoying being a priest and not being able to engage with one of the key mob categories that drops your profession's weapon.

Kommentar von Thottbot

omg lol what the hell is this crap ^^ I can hardly solo them as a lvl 63 warrior..they crit me for 600... while the lv 60 and 61 elites in outlands crit me for like, 350 max. damn, what are these, super elite mobs?

Kommentar von Thottbot

me being a lvl 70 frost mage, these guys are cake. i used to solo these guys back when i was 60, farming for eye of shadow. now at 70, i kill them in about half the time i would normally do as a lvl 60. farmed these guys last week and all of this week so far and i had 3 eyes of shadow drop, as well as some other blues in greens. grand total of more than 1000g. very nice farming :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Lol. you have got to be kidding me. 1000G ;o think im going to farm them as well :p lvl 64 warrior now, not as effective as a 70 mage but i should be able to do the job :P

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did the Quest where you have to go to Darkwhisper gorge or something.. so i went there, and then i saw these Elites. so i decided to kite one down :D i finally killed him after 14 mins :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

I am level 70 warrior and i can solo them without pots or drinking a healing. I tried around level 64-65 and they do hit hard, had to use retaliation and killed him, but cool down is 20 min. Best to wait till higher level to solo 64 warrior, but good luck. got some good loot and an eye of shadow for ah. Not as good since BC but will still sell.

Slain

Kommentar von Thottbot

LOLOL at someone who reckons they killed one at level 41. Hahahahaha *takes a deep breath*

Ok its been a long time since I was level 41, but I can't imagine you have had more than 3k hp, maybe 4k max. They'd hit you for well over 800 per it, meanwhile i can imagine 99% of your attacks would be resisted, and they'd laugh off your feeble remaining attacks. Ah well, 9.4 months since they made that post, maybe they stopped lying now.

But yes, I remember killing these at level 60, for my doomguard quest, and I remember it was a challenge then, although they didnt pose too much of a problem if kept feared.

Although strangely, coming back as a nearly full merciless gladiator geared lock, they don't seem to die as quickly as I'd have expected, although at least I don't need to fear spam them now :p which they still break very quickly even today lol.

Kommentar von Thottbot

As a level 60 arms specced warrior (41/5/5) i can solo these mobs, though probably not as easy as a hunter or warlock. I have level 59-60 green stuff from AH.

The first three tries i had to hamstring and run away, they hit quite hard and they have loads of hit points (like 17,000 or so). I've found it impossible to kill them with my big bad two-hander, so i switched to sword-and-shield style. Here is how it goes:

1, Bloodrage -> Battle Shout, then wait till my health is full.
2, Pull one of them with some sort of ranged weapon
3, Demoralizing shout, block then Disarm (Disarm as often as you can)
4, lots of Blocks
5, If I lose like 1500 HP i use a major healing potion to get me to full health (2min cooldown for potions so its wise to use it early in the fight if you want to pop it again)
6, Block, Block, Block, refresh demoralizing shout, spam a thunderclap, disarm; and when you're between half and 2/3 health hamstring and bandage (preferably netherweave, dont run too far though for he'll get away)
7, You probably have to use bandages for a second time
8, the rest is about blocks and revenge

I haven't used any of the special warrior abilities (retaliation, shield wall, recklessnes) because i popped one in one of the first few tries. I think with shield wall you can do it with just one Major healing potion and one Netherweave bandage. Well... If you're lucky.

I killed 3 of them, they dropped like 50 silver and 4 runecloth overall. Yay. But it worth it, like "wohoo I killed one!" =)

level 60 NE warrior, arms spec

Kommentar von Thottbot

LOL @ people who thought 41 pally was lying...

Ever think he intended that he was specced 41 pnts in prot? Not a level 41...

ROFL

Kommentar von Thottbot

Seven 59 and 60 elites, shot down by 70 hunter no problem. But all I got was a gold or so in sliver, 4 lousy runecloths, and a single lvl 54 green.

Hardly worth the effort. Everything printed about them dropping essences is wrong, by the way.

Kommentar von Thottbot

these slayer things are sadly easy... i was expecting stuff like the ones in the tainted scar :P

Took quite a bit to get the tear things, but wasnt bad.

no cool drops tho :(

I read all of these posts and went for a farming expedition. After a few kills, about 10, I got Plans: Titanic Leggings.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this leik sucks! gosh gosh! killd 1 of thos and took me like 5+ mins with banish+burst dmg n such! dropped 2 runecloth and some silverz!

grr ggrrrr

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Shamans kite these and kill them.. I do it alone

Simply frost shock it, Drop a searing totem and keep running around the totem casting frost shock.. If low on mana use rank 1 frost shock for abit.. Works nicely.

Soloed as lvl 56 frost mage 59 and 60 elites.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I solo these. I'm a hunter. Easy as pie.

Found 2 Eye of Shadows two days apart. They went straight to the guildbank.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

60 resto druid
easy solo
just root then starfire over and over again if u are in the middle of a starfire and it breaks roots u have to immediatly stop starfire and root again if it resists ur roots nature swiftness and root it again just keep repeating and try not to go under 1200 mana innervate helps takes 4-5 minutes with my crappy gear

Kommentar von Allakhazam

59-60 elites.
*Both*
-Have roughly 18k hp

The 59's hit for about 150 less than the 60's.
The 59's hit for about 450 to a leather.

They take several minutes to solo.

Happy hunting!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

These things are most definately soloable, you can kill two at once if your a warlock.

60 Warlock

Can you beat him without a speed hack?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

yay, dropped The Eye of Shadow after ~10 mobs :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

for druids:
- when your target is running towards you never stop casting roots until he's trapped; even if you have to take a hit or two
- always stay at maximum range (short server lags can literally kill you otherwise)
- only use starfire (most efficient damage per mana)
- always keep enough mana for roots

Good luck soloing them

(additional note: don't try to solo them when you come home drunk from a party. Luckily my guildmembers persuaded me to go to bed after a while and several deaths)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

it's fun soloing these, easy as a frost mage :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Jeweled Amulet of Cainwyn @ 5th kill, lucky me! 60 hunter

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Though it looks as if quiggalo is speedhacking he actually isn't. He just has the video run faster so we don't have to watch the long fight in real time. You can see that he is not speedhacking at the end of the movie, where he types the message in guildchat. Don't think a speedhack would speed up typingspeed. ;)
Also when the Succubus hits the mob in banish it is lightningfast - speedhack would probably only affect the player and not his pet, too.

For me, the whole CoEx running/fleeing thingy is taking to long. I work with fear, deathcoil and curse of doom plus more or less mild direct damage through conflagrate, immolate and shadowbolt. Works nicely.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

heh killed 2 of these for fun earlier and 2nd one dropped the eye of shadow :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

with average gear. Solo'd them in one-on-one fights adequately. Tougher than your average Northrend lvl 73 mob. I can't say these guys are easy because two back-to-back fights ate up close to 10000 mana. Four kills yielded 9 runecloth, 1 felcloth, nearly 100 silver, and a green drop.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solo these guys, sure :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

farmed these guys on my 49 hunter. kited to everlook had goblins kill. yes, i kno i have to much time on my hands. on the 11th or so kill i got eye of shadow im still in scock ><

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yup, soloing these guys I found an Eye of Shadow.
Gave it to our priest thats next in line for his staff. :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As a 60 Frost Mage I can also solo these. Its all one big kite. Just make sure to turn sideways to run instead of backing up and use Frostbolt for snares and Frost Nova only in an emergency (If you get close to them I've had them 2 shot me with a Critical hit for 2000 and a Mortal strike for 1300). I usually use my Mana Stone and sometimes a cooldown. Mage Armor is your friend since you'll drain your mana EXTREMELY fast. If I do good they're usually dead a little after the bridge. ;)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

exactly what i do lol. starfire root, starfire root. if ur lucky u can get about 1300 crits if ur balance :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i can solo these things and kill in 20secs now

http://files.filefront.com/Slavemaker_DPSavi/;6310734;;/fileinfo.html

beat 20secs :D

Kommentar von Shamethat

As a solo farming Warlock I've killed about 320 of these guys over the past week in an attempt to farm Das Auge der Schatten. My loot thus far is:

306 Runenstoff
33 Dämonische Rune
27 Teufelsstoff
A bunch of greys
A boatload of Getrockneter Königsboletus
Several greens, including Großdrachenfinger and Ewige Schiftung
1 Schicksal

If the Eye were to drop next mob (which it won't), the droprate from my farm would be 0.3%, indicating it's at least twice as rare as the low sample size under the Drops tab would indicate. My advice is if you're a Priest and need this trinket for yourself, then try and get some trusted guildies together and clear the entire area quickly farming for it. Otherwise, if you're just farming this to sell it, I strongly advise going somewhere with more consistent income.

If you're a Warlock trying to solo farm this in particular, some tips specifically for you:

Rotation is Shadowbolt > start running > Curse of Shadows > Corruption > Siphon Life > jump and spin > Fear. Then just spam Shadowbolts, refresh Fear as it drops off, and refresh DoTs as they expire.
Don't try and speed up the farm with Curse of Doom or Agony. These things have crazy shadow resist and if you don't have CoS on them you'll have way too many times where Fear drops off, they resist your Death Coil, and you die. This farm is about consistency.
If you need more soul shards, you can farm the bears around you but don't facetank them. They can give a 10 min disease that halves your health generation and will really increase your downtime.
Keep Soulstone up at all times. Part of why Warlock is good for this farm is that sometimes there's nothing you can do to avoid dying. Sometimes you'll Fear as it runs to you, then your DoTs will break Fear and the mob will instantly auto+Cleave+Mortal Strike all at the same time and kill you from 2k. Soulstone saves you from the loooong run back from Everlook.

Good luck farming, I'll come back and edit if I ever do get a drop.

EDIT: I've given up lads, at around 450 elites downed. Mob resisted two fears with Curse of Shadows on him and I broke. My loot was mostly the same, except Runecloth was at about 480 and Felcloth was at 39. Got one-shot more times than I can count, got camped by Horde for hours, had Ally groups tag and clear the zone out from under me...

This is a super painful farm and if you don't get lucky the gold p/minute is abysmal. If you're considering this mob for gold farming I strongly advise going somewhere else, but otherwise wish you luck. And hey at least I got a BoE Epic out of it (just not the one I wanted).

Kommentar von FifthEmperor

Fairly geared Fury Prot warrior with 792 +healing flask set I am able to kill these and end at full health. Pair this with life giving gem for the next pull I can kill 2 of these back to back no problem. A tip if you get low is to intimidating shout and bandage, they don’t run around.

Keep demo and battle shout up, 5 sunders and pump... easy

The caster ones are even easier, no cooldown required really, just interrupt the shadow bolts.

I farmed for 5 hours looking for the draconic for dummies chapter and ended up getting 3 Eye of Shadow drops. They are unique so what I ended up doing was killing myself and ressing up at Everlook to mail the one in my bag to an alt and had enough time to mount back down to the drop before the body disappeared.
