Spawns in Northwest Silithus, sends an emote throughout the zone. Brings a lot of 57-59 regular elementals that look like him along. 4 Patrol with him, the rest just hang around like the Dust Stormers normally do.

Kommentar von kahdgarxi

Fairly easily solo'd as a 70 Disc/Holy priest (pre PoM nerf). Just fear the adds, keep up SW:P, and heal through his damage.

Kommentar von 30401

Went to sithilus to farm some essence of air, and noticed a LOT of dust stormer and invaders. I got an emote saying he was in the Northwest.

Took him down easily as a 70 rogue, he dropped 2 essence of air and the stormshroud pattern. But be warned! When you kill him, most of the elementals in the area will despawn - so you won't be able to farm essence of air as easily.

Kommentar von ceemeeir

His drop rate is funny, because wowhead says only ~15% for 2 items, but when I killed it, dropped everything for me.

Kommentar von malcontentus

Elemental Leader for the Elemental Invasion in Silithus. Invaders will stop spawning after he is killed.

Kommentar von 65684

He drops some blue Mail wirsts as well.

Good for hunter and warrior.

Kommentar von zenon

it is true that he is surounded by 4 other elementals and if u pull one of them...u pull all of them =/ so be careful

Kommentar von 42229

Easy solo as aff warlock... Send in VW, dot everything, HoT, full dps on boss, the adds die pretty quickly.

Dropped 3x, 2x, 1x, 1x, 2x.

Kommentar von Kianna

Anyone know how often he will respawn? I found him today and some bastard 70 tagged him right in front of my nose while I was waiting for my friend to come and help me kill him, so I'm still stuck with 3/4 Stormshroud QQ.

Kommentar von 66643

Just solo'd him on a 70 rogue. He dropped: Elemental Airx5 Essence of Airx2 Breath of Windx4 Zephyr Cloak The Pattern for the gloves and Core of ELementsx2.
I heard he spawned around every 2 weeks, so be careful

Kommentar von 79107

Easy take down by a lvl 70 BM hunter
Droped Patterns and 3 Essence of Air
realy not worth it

Kommentar von 84150

Kinda hard on a 70 arms warr, not epiced at all, needed to use a healthstone, but dropped pettern, belt, 4 breath of winds and a couple essences. Worth it i'd say.

Kommentar von RadioMan

This guy is evidentally the Wind part of the Elemental Invasion. The Fire part happens in the center of the Un'Goro Crater and the Water/Ice part happens near Kel'Theril in Winterspring. When there is an Elemental Invasion, an Elite NPC spawns with a crowd of adds, and the area becomes infested with a bunch of lower level guys as well. Any given Invasion is a great time to farm elemental-related drops, as well as the Elite dropping some good stuff, but be advised that upon killing the Elite, the Invasion is over and all the rest of the adds despawn and don't come back.

Kommentar von hypnoticbob

You're forgetting about the other invasion in Azshara (to the far northeast). Check out this WoW Wiki page: http://www.wowwiki.com/Elemental_Invasions

Kommentar von Hamor

Found this guy today and brought in my 2 level 65 friends to help since I couldn't solo on my 60 druid. It was very very easy at that point, but he has 3 guards that can't be pulled solo, so be watchful.

Dropped https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=2245 in addition to gloves pattern, sash, and a bunch of elemental stuff. No card like I'd hoped, but sweet loot none-the-less.

Kommentar von 120907

As long as this elite remains alive, Whirling Invaders will continue to spawn.

After killing the Invaders, it'd seem their essence drop rate is higher than the Dust stormers.

upon defeat, there'll be an emote stating "The Windreaver dissapates into the ether, his howling winds still ringing in your ears." There is no shout, so the zone wont be alerted to his defeat. For me, he dropped:

5 Elemental Air
1 Essence of Air
2 Core of Elements
Pattern: stormshroud gloves
Ace of Elementals

Kommentar von 21986

He is immune to stun and poisons.

Kommentar von 68999

i dont recommend trying to solo him if your still under 60 - coming from a hunter.

Kommentar von Thottbot

As long as he is alive the Whirling Invaders are still around. They can be famred for Essence of Air more easily than Dust Stormers.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I been grinding there for 2 days straight and i never seen him, what is his spawn rate//location plz.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Unless you're a complete nature resist freak, this guy isn't worth killing considering the only worthwhile item he drops is geared to shammies. You're better off letting him live and farm his little friends. They're 10 times easier than the native elementals. I've made over 300g from the essences I've gotten from this event. There always seems to be alot of female NE hunters on my server when he spawns though....

Kommentar von Thottbot

this has one use for everyone Auction house!

Kommentar von Thottbot

he comes with 3 adds (non-elite lvl 57-58)
his normal attacks hit for 500, crits for 1k; plus he casts shocks for 1k+ damage and ae storms

bring at least 2 friends, preferrably 1 healer class

Kommentar von Thottbot

bow in this context=breath of wind

Kommentar von Thottbot

killed with Druid (me) mage, and pally. He dropped Ace of Elementals somehow, anyone know if he is supposed to? =X

Kommentar von Thottbot

Stop killing him. The essences farmed from his invaders > his loot. always. The invaders keep coming if he's alive, so stop killing him for a card you can get off of alot of other elites, or a mediocre shaman belt.
For those wanting enchants, when he is up is the best time to farm for your essences. Good luck.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Wouldn't you think it makes sense (if you were farming) to keep things competetive? The enchants etc. that use Essences are good money makers... and those lvl 60 mounts aren't cheap. If everyone was selling essences, price would go down.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He's an event spawn.

He spawns on the north-western corner of the map.

You can see if the event if is happening if you go there and see DARK coloured "wind elementals" + the normal ones there.

This is a big guy with 4 ads.

I did it 2 days ago.
Just me, Priest , and a Warlock. Both 60s of course.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Dropped 3x Elemental Air, 2x Breath of Air, 1x Essence of Air, 1x Zephyr Cloak, 1x Ace of elementals. Did it with a druid.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Apparently this guy also drops the new elemental leatherworking pattern for the new Stormshroud Gloves. Not sure about the drop rate or any of that bull%^&*, but this is information that Thottbot and Allakhazam don't even have in their database as of yet. Just thought I'd let you all know.

--------------------------------------------------

Stormshroud Gloves 109 Armor, +1% chance to hit, +1% chance to critical strike, Level 57, Leather (Rare BoE)(Rare BoE plan drops from the Windreaver Air Elemental Invasion Boss in Silithus)
- 6 Enchanted Leather, 4 Essence of Water, 4 Essence of Air, 2 Cured Rugged Hides, 2 Ironweb Spider Silk
Stormshroud Set Bonus(4): +14 Attack Power
Picture of the pattern drop.

Kommentar von Thottbot

So if this is an event spawn, once the event begins and you kill him how long before he respawns? Does anyone know ?

Kommentar von Thottbot

killed him 5 min ago, just used 2xgreater nature prot pots.
drop: pattern : storm gloves, 2xessence of air and zephyr cloak.

Kommentar von Thottbot

You know hes around when he Yells: Here approaches windreaver. lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

can any1 give me coordinates where he is:P?

thx

Kommentar von Thottbot

All 4 of the bosses can be soloed by a warlock, however, your spec will judge the difficulty of the fight.

Personally, I would believe Soul Link to be the best spec to solo them all-around. Conflag has a hard time on Baron, and misc. affliction builds including SM/Ruin would have trouble dispersing the damage on Avalanchion.

Anyway, for this all three of the bosses besides Avalanchion, your best bet would probably be to start out with a Felhunter (most cost-effective method, an Infernal is overkill IMO) - in the case of Avalanchion, a voidwalker since his damage is physical, and have him attack the boss. Banish one add, fear another, put CoDoom on the boss and then take out the last of the three as fast as possible. Each add only has about 2k HP so 2 or 3 shadowbolts + a shadowburn can remove them pretty fast.

At this point, your felhunter should have a *moderate* amount of aggro, and a corruption won't take aggro. Re-fear, make sure banish doesn't wear, and the moment the boss turns on you re-cast corruption, and spam SB. The bosses do not melee if they are at range, they all have a ranged attack (this includes Avalanchion.) Midway through the fight, you might need to recast a pet (with Fel Dom if you have) to take aggro on one of the adds, or if your initial pet is still alive, sic it on one of them. Once your HP gets below half, all you can really do is DPS as fast as possible. Normally, I have the bosses at about 20-30% by the time Doom goes off, and they die.

Dealing with the adds afterwards can be a little hectic if you are low on HP. Keep one Banished and the other Feared, keep DoTs on the feared mob and drain life/bandage as necessary. If you have no chance of course, collect monies and run away!

With a 10% ace drop rate, when these guys spawn all I can say is to get off your rump and kill them in chain. As alliance, I find it easiest to go to Silithus => Un'goro, hearth to IF then boat to Darn, Winterspring => Azshara. Azshara is usually the least active, while Silithus and Winterspring tend to be the most active; as such, as horde I would suggest going to Winterspring before Azshara (even though azshara is closer to Org.)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Killed with a 60 priest and me (60 mage)

Was pretty hard though :)

Didnt die just had to use ice block.. Got spawns down too.. 1 essence of air..1pattern of blaat (blue)

Kommentar von Thottbot

tryed 2 times and 3rd was succesfull. :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Killed him with 3 people, and all the blues dropped plus an essence

Kommentar von Thottbot

I soloed him with my 65 Enchantment shaman, he was hard but with some luck you can take him down, he got low defence.

Loot:

4 essence of air
3 Breath of wind
that crappy 15 nature resict cloak
pattern:stormshroud gloves
Ace of elements
5 Core of elements

Nice loot i must say =)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I killed him and his adds w 70 mage. he dropped
Zephyr cloak +15NR and 2 essence of air. Cloak D/E'd 5 illusion dust. If your a farmer, i advise you DO NOT kill him. After i did, the portals vanished and i lost my higher % essence drop from the Invaders. Live and Learn

Kommentar von Thottbot

after farming essences for awhile, 2 manned him with a 57 hunter and me a 55 resto shammy

dropped 2 essences of air, 3 breathes of wind, 3 core of elements, 3 elemental airs, ace of elementals, sash of the windreaver, and the glove schematic, (which hunter got cause i already had one from the water lady).

Kommentar von Thottbot

I fought him today and he dropped the pattern, belt, AND the Ace of Elementals. First time I seen him before. also dropped 2 Essence of Air, 2 Elemental Air and 4 Breath of Wind. Does this mean Im lucky?

Kommentar von Thottbot

can a 70 warrior kill it alone?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Yep actually was arms spec and had a few Kara gear wasnt all that hard. Just stay out of the lightning it still hurts. lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

70 mage 3 shotted him with arcane pom and arcane explosioned his adds down too easy imo.

Kommentar von Thottbot

just killed him, 70 prot warr.

dropped 3 BoW some essence, pattern stormshroud thing, elematal air and some lvl 56 green.

if i had know the invaders would go away i had waited to kill him xD

Kommentar von Thottbot

He is still around. Killed him today. at 4pm. He spawned a little before that with his invaders.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just come across this guy randomly while i was farming thorium, thought i would have ago, got rid of his adds as quik as i could then worked on him. killed him with bout 30% hp left. he dropped a !@#$-load of stuff!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Me (priest) and a mage just ran in and started aoeing their asses, the mage died before the windreaver was dead but could finish him off. he hits really hard so you should aswell.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

u guys dont even know wat word noob means plz stop use the word.. retards?

Get a life

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He doesnt drop anything that great seriously...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed as warlock with voidy, i dont care if people wanted stuff, i saw it as a challenge and i dont complain about getting 2 essences and a good pattern for killing one mob

Kommentar von Allakhazam

So instead of everyone making hundreds of gold pieces farming the whirling invaders, you kill the Windreaver for a 1/20 chance of getting plans..or a 1/10 chance of getting the Ace. Really brilliant. How much NR stuff could you get with 300g worth of essence?..alot more then one cape. The Windreaver just showed up in Silithus, and by the time I got there from Cenarion Hold and killed one Invader the Horde had killed him already and everything despawned. So once again everyone one gets screwed because of a few noobs greed and short-sightedness.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Want the essences?(no comment)

Kill the other air elementals.
Sure there are other ways to get some of the things he drops like the Ace or a better NR cloak, they take longer just to get just like farming the regular air elementals would take longer to get Essence of Air.

Cry more about your precious essences... /sigh

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I soloed him with my priest in 2 times... loot 2x Zephyr Cloak and few Essences of Air

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If u kill him all the whirling invaders will disappear, so you might piss off ppl farming those ,with killing Windreaver :).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

killing this dude should be punishable by internatinal law and be count as a murder. I stand and farm the elementals, has gotten one essence
THEN 4 alliance (I play alliance too) appoaches and kills windreaver. SO WHAT THE HELL AM i DOING NOW? STAY AND FARM THE DUST STORMERS WHO GOT 2% DROP CHANCE? I NEED 10 ESSENCES SO I DON'T WANT TO KILL 500 STORMERS FOR MY NEEDS. %^&*ing bastard noobs...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

dont kill him =)

clearly as it should be

only a retard with the brain downsized to minimum would kill this guy instead of the spawns the approach as long as he�s alive

much more profit than killing windreaver himself

stupid noobs not even bright enough to check the forum posts while looking at teh imbaah epix loot

oh my god ...

Edited, Thu Jan 26 17:41:19 2006

Kommentar von Allakhazam

yea but your by yourself farming for profit.... I highly doubt you could kill windreaver even if those 4 had left him for u to kill.... u woulda been dead in a couple of seconds....
no offence but whos the noob?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I cant find any Windreavers are they really there what it says on the map?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did anybody see him since the changes to Silithus ? I've been there several times since then and have yet to see him (again). . .

Kommentar von Allakhazam

According to WoW site, this is the guy that drops the pattern for Stormshroud Gloves. I think he's going to get killed a lot more often now.

You want the ace? Go BRD
You want the pattern? Check up commercial CC for people having it.
Want the cape? A cape without any stats at AQ? oh boy! Go farm Maraudon for the +12 stam and +10 NR one.
Want the essences? (no comment)

So let this guy turn around the hill if he wants... just ignore him ;)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i saw my friend killed him like 4times and 2 of the 4 blue drops was ace of elementals and always dropped 2essence of air .

they killed him with 4 man he got 3 windreavers(adds) to so its a quite hard mob to kill.and he deals massive damage to .

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Extremely tough elemental, to do with the Elemental Invasions mentioned in the patch notes I assume. He hits for 300-600 damage with melee, uses Chain lightning for about 500-700 frequently, and shocked me once for 1000. He also has quite a lot of hit points.

He comes with 3-4 Whirling Invaders as well, so don't attempt him without a good party at your back. Wouldn't mind seeing what else he drops though!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

but don't be so bloody frigging dumb and kill him... GOD!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

All I know is that when I'm up there and he's spawned, I am going to farm all the airs I need off his minions and then kill him for the pattern on my elemental LW rogue. Go @#%^ing cry if you want his minions' loots I want my damn pattern.

Solo'ed as a Affliction Lock. New talents make this easy mode.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Does anyone have any idea how often/when the Elemental invasions happen?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got damn i get so mad when i read posts like u a noob because u killede him. Dont *!@#ing deside what other people want to do, they pay just as much to play as you and they can do what the $%^& they want to, to bad u cant get u airs then but then do it with the normal onces.

And just for the record i do know how hard and annoying they are to farm for i got a hunter where i farmede air for 2xagil on weapon, and for all the other freaking agil enchants we need it for, beside that i farmede them for my paladins hide of the wild, not 2 mention i helpede lots of friends do the same. Big deal if u dont want to farm that farm water and transmute it to air, works easly to, or go farm the cave at wpl for a chance at living essence and the greater nature pot u can sell for an easy 100g and buy u airs on ah.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Wow so much quarriling n00bs, kill him and let people get pissed at u. They can't do @#$% so who cares? Get ur CLoack and shut up about it.

personally i take great pleasure in pissing off farmers and considering that 90% of the time the farmers and ni hao ubainow chinese gold farmers why the hell wouldnt i want to discourage them ... besides, its a fun fight... so QQ more please while i pew pew Windreaver and the three other rare elemental spawns... ill just /chuckle and move on

Kommentar von Allakhazam

u can't say that that elemental's loot sucks cuz it isn't so. maybe for a blacksmith sucks but for a elemental leatherworker is great loot so... leave your comments at home! If i don't need cooper bars that doesn't mean that it sucks!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The windreaver dissipates into the ether, his howling winds still ringing in your ears....

Didn't see him tho, but i take it that he despawns as well?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

damn. if he didn't have those friends then a warlock could solo him easily.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

70 rogue, smashed him and his 4 cohorts in 15 seconds flat

dropped 5 breath of wind, 2 elemental air, 2 essence of air, stormshroud pattern and windreaver belt...and 2 core of elements

Kommentar von Allakhazam

easy, did with four, 2 pallies, a warrior, and a rogue...IMPORTANT, focus on windreaver, NOT his lackeys...need to bring him down first to keep his damage to a minimum, THEN take out the guards, no one died during our attempt.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He just spawned 5 mins ago on Burning Blade Euro.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i got 2 essence of air,the stormshroud pattern,the zephyr cloak,3 elemental air,2 breath of wind,and 4 core of elements!

Just duo'd this rare spawn w/ a guildy. Mage & Hunter took it out.

Very tough, did it with a Mage interfering as well.

He has 3 adds and he hits like a ton of bricks, bring pots. YOU'LL NEED 'EM!

I got Ace of Elements, the +15 NR cloak, 2 EoA, and some others.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Farmed his spawns for about 30 mins with a buddy(got around 9 essences between us) before this chinese hunter killed him. Oh man we were so pissed >.<

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the number of idiots still killing that Windreaver :S The plans suck, the sash sucks, the Ace drops from other mobs....

Farm the Invaders with your little fudged up raid, and like Trowlerman says, u make hundreds of golds, depending on how long u continue farming.
But alas, the game is also suited for people under 16 and a 60 IQ average.. ~~

Kommentar von Allakhazam

we killed him with 2 hunters and a druid

dropped the zephyr cloak Zephyrumhang some cloth points with 16 int and 16 sta, as well as 6 breath of wind and one essence of air

Anyone know in classic if this event is going on? well edit if i figure it out my self.

Kommentar von Fkleppe

Killed one of these in a 2 man group. He dropped 2x Essence of Air.
Be cautious, the 3-4 adds will come with him if you attack him.
He is immune to silence it seems.

Kommentar von 7ammerheart

Solo'ed him as a lvl 60 fire mage, with a mix of mostly ZG, AQ20 and some BWL gear. It took me 3 tries before I succeeded. Even then I died right after I had got him down! What makes the fight difficult is not as much his adds, but that he won't be trapped by frost nova.

My advice is; Firstly, clear the area infront of where you mean to fight him. Secondly, If you are a fire mage: Use all your CD's, start off with a fireball or pyroblast. As soon as the Windreaver and his adds get close, use frost nova to trap the adds, and get away from the Windreaver with blink. Get an ignite rolling with scorch, and if you have time, cast another fireball. If not, use every instant cast you have, especially fire blast, to try to burn him down quickly. Blink away once more if you can so he doesn't kill you. I also used mana shield and dampen magic, but I'm not sure how much it helped. In the end, killing him came a bit down to luck, but mainly it was also just about nuking him before he got to you.

For me he dropped only one essence of wind, but also the Zephyr cloak and the blue recipe. Not a bad haul :)

Good luck!
