I just took one of these guys down, gave +15 Sha'tari Skyguard Reputation and some grey stuff. They hit my pet for about 480-600 and my pet has 9608 Armor. I would estimate about 25-40000 Health, I wasn't paying too much attention to it though.

Kommentar von 52800

These guys are my new best friends. As a warlock they are easy. They can be herb gathered for 4-6 random herbs (got 4 mana thistle off one) and usually 2-5 motes of life.

Kommentar von Nomak

Fearable.

Easy as demonology lock , fear dots and let pet tank.

Kommentar von 52415

Has some really nice drop if u herb them, had 2x Black Lotus some life motes and Dreaming Glory from 1.

Kommentar von NeonGenesis

Immune to Entangling Roots.

Kommentar von 55964

These guys usually drop 2 different herbs 2-6 of each, can be any of the following

Dreaming Glory
Felweed
Terocone
Mana Thistle
Ancient Lichen
Black Lotus

And they also drop a lot of Motes of Life usually half a stack a kill

As stated above, very easy solo with a Demon lock, Send pet in-Dot up-Health funnel the whole fight except to throw up dots.

Kommentar von isitLoVe

Who many of the spawn at once? Think about 3 or 4?

They are really nice to farm Black Lotus :)

Kommentar von Kathucka

High health, Thunderclap attack, immune to Nature-based attacks (including Stings), but vulnerable to crowd control.

Hunter's Mend Pet can't keep up with the damage output of these guys as of patch 2.1. Therefore....

Use crowd control techniques to slow down the damage output and give Mend Pet time to catch up.

Clear the area where you want to fight.

Hunter's Mark, Mend Pet, pet attack with Growl on auto-cast.

Misdirection on pet, pop trinkets and Rapid Fire. Open fire with your maximum DPS rotation. Drop a Freezing Trap.

Renew Mend Pet every time it runs out.

Pop Scatter Shot, Intimidation, or whatever your appropriate talent is when available to stop your pet from getting hit for a moment, so Mend Pet has a moment to catch up.

If your pet goes below 50% health, put it on passive and hit dash/dive to recall it. The monster will follow it into the Freezing Trap. Bandage the pet, drop another trap, send in the pet again, and continue. Be quick, because the trap has a good chance of breaking early.

Note that Freezing Trap makes the biggest ice cube ever on this monster. It's an iceberg.

Easiest thing in the world for a mage to kill. There are trees everywhere. Shoot the mob, then run around a tree, firing off instant casts or whatever you can. You can even get it so that if you keep moving to the left and right he will constantly try to get you from the other side, so he's always on the opposite side of the tree from you. Obviously larger trees are easier. If all else fails, surprise! They can be frost nova'd.

Edit: Also, if you're a gnome, you can use escape artist if he thunderclaps you.

Kommentar von 38539

I love these, as a warlock I put Curse of Doom, banish him, set pet ready and maybe heal up if needed then as soon as hes out if it's not a void tanking him then fear him or shadowfury or deathcoil if you have agro, shouldnt been to even use your healthstone as if you keep him feared or banish if low on health you can kill him eventually.

Made a few stacks of Primal Life from these the 15 rep is brilliant as well if you're farming them for rep and they come along not many kill them either so it's lovely =]. Lots of Mana thistle mainly too.

Some greens dropped oddly enough arcane resistance mostly for me.

Short respawn time of a few mins too.

Kommentar von RobMelendez

These mobs are the only way to farm Acient Lichen without entering an instance.

Kommentar von Jonse

These guys are very soloable for protection warriors, get on your tanking gear and tank it down.

Kommentar von Boney

These are the best mobs to farm Primal Life full stop, Farming them as a shadow priest, they hit me for around 700 (500 with inner fire, 1.1k-1.3k crit) around 27k - 29k health and can be feared, i got 5 primal life of these guys in around 25 mins, the respawn is very fast, fly around the lake a few times and they're back

Kommentar von 64383

Once again, Blizzard farts in the Shaman's face. One of the best mobs to farm, and it's immune to nature magic. What are we going to do, frost shock it to death? For enh. shaman, stormstrike looses some of its point as u can't do earth shock right afterwards, elemental shaman can't hit it with anything (lightning bolt, chain lightning). I suppose a resto could take it down, would only take like forever tho

Kommentar von 63823

Easy to solo as a shadow priest with decent gear. Didn't even need to fear, just bubbled, dotted, BM, and flayed to death. Used most of my mana pool, but only about 15% of my hp.

Kommentar von 67240

very easy to solo as a beast mastery hunter with mostly blues, a couple pvp epics, and green gloves. best to fight close to the water, where adds are less likely to occur. Just clear out the water ele's, wait for it to come to you, send in your pet, let him get aggro, and keep mend pet up at all times. watch the combat log for "mend pet fades from (insert pet's name)" and renew it when you see that. If your pet is taking too much damage for some reason (or if you're not specced BM and still insist on trying to solo these) use a distracting shot to pull it to you and let mend pet heal your pet to full (or until you are almost dead and need to feign). Feign death to drop all aggro; if this gets resisted, attempt to disengage and let your pet build up some threat before you go back to dps'ing. Using a threat meter is very useful in this situation, but remember you getting aggro is usually not a bad thing, as it allows mend to heal your pet rather than just mitigate the incoming damage. They drop nothing special, but herbing them gives you 5g+ worth of herbs/motes of life. Very lucrative, the fights should take you just over a minute. Kills give you 15 skyguard rep, and if thats what you are looking for, be sure to do the two daily quests also. The main reason to kill them, however, is for herbs. If you are not an herbalist, you are wasting your time killing these. Adds early in the fight could mean death for you and/or your pet so try to CC them (water elementals are immune to freezing trap). Also watch out for others trying to ninja the herbs, although this shouldnt be a problem with members of your own faction. While waiting for respawns, or for them to come to you, you can fish or kill the water elementals (nice drop rate on motes, and they dont poison like the halaani basin ele's). GL and happy hunting =)

Kommentar von 38577

Also easy as a feral druid. Pounce him and throw up as big a rip as you can, switch to bear and wear him down. No problem if you need to heal, just throw up barkskin.

I am amazed these aren't constantly farmed by others. Primal Life goes for 12-14g per on my server and they often drop 4-5 motes. Along w/ the greys and other herbs I would say an average drop from one of these guys is around 5-7g.

Farm em while you can, before they are nerfed by Blizz.

Kommentar von Rhut

even easier for a holy/prot paladin with spell damage gear. They hit for like 350 or less, just use Judgement of Crusader paired with seal of vengeance and let the holy damage burn him down while you heal yourself. Easy farming.

Kommentar von idle

Easy to solo as a destruct lock as well, fear and spam, use shadowfury in between fear windows or coil if u need =D put up any pet u deem useful in terms of dps ... they hit for roughly 900 + on clothies

Kommentar von 31067

why cant there be mobs out there that drop the same amount of motes, just of the other types?

i'm tired of elemental plateu ganking :(

Kommentar von Sysstring

Very farmable as a Frostmage, easiliy kitable. Also seems to be on a fast respawntimer.

Kommentar von 71045

Super Easy to kill as a prot warrior, I have afew heroic/crafted epics. Id adivse warriors to Stock up on Block raiting/blockvalue gear. The trinket from SH helps alot to. I can easily kill one in less then 5 minutes, and I still have about 70% hp. Keep 5 sunders up, rend,thunderclap,demshout. When you have enough rage shield slam. Use Concussion Blow when ever the cooldown is done and use your trinkets when their CDs are done.

Note: Only Farm if your a Herbalist.

Kommentar von 18422

as a mutilate rogue, I kite them to death with gouge and deadly throw. takes ages tho.
the fact that they're immune to poisons doesnt help one bit

Kommentar von Frostblade

These guys are so easy as full frost mage. They die in about 40 to 50 seconds with no raid epics. Mind you only kill these if you have herbalism or it's just a waste of time. There are only 4 spawn points of these guys.

Kommentar von 23983

very easily soloed as a feral druid in bear form dps gear. takes about a minute to kill and it is very worth the herbs. i have 18.5k armor and 2300 AP and usually finish with about 75% hp without healing at all. have seen them drop black lotusx2 once.

Kommentar von Undertaker

Immune to Rogue poisons as mentioned above, but more importantly,immune to Blind =§

Kommentar von Raphner

Im leveling herb so i can herb theese babies on my alt(shadowpriest)

wich lvl u need for it?

Kommentar von 84329

As of patch 2.2, these will no longer be skinnable by herbalists it seems.

I tried my new talent build on the PTR and always benchmark it on these mobs - there was no option to herb them.

Kommentar von clavarnway

I tried this just now on the 2.2 live server US Sen'jin, they are still herbable and still drop the good stuff! Got 2 Felweed and 3 Terocone and 3 Mote of Life, then got 4 Ancient Lichen and 3 Mana Thistle and 3 Mote of Life! Hell yeah!!

Kommentar von Slange

Seems that as of patch 2.2 these give 30 reputation per kill, compared to 15 before.

Kommentar von dJe781

These guys pop around only 4 spots which I put on this custom map.
Note that the tree which pops around (68,74) tends to roam towards south, along the east border of Skettis lake.

Kommentar von Lizzegutt

How much herbalism skill does it require to "skin" one of these ?

Kommentar von 91347

Feral druids with ~30% crit, ~40% dodge, ~1500 AP, ~13K life and improved Leader of the Pack can solo these guys without a single heal. Just keep up demo shout and, if you get into trouble, frenzy regen. Usually you'll end up with ~4K life when the tree is dead. If nothing helps or you add, just stun him, fire up regrowth, and finish him.

By the way: If you are up there at night and if there's nobody else farming these guys, you can do all four trees in a rotation so if you finish the last one, the first one should be there again.

Kommentar von 75994

fearable: farning these guys is almost as bad as the scene at elemental plateau.

yes they drop motes and about 4-6 top level herbs (terocone, felweed, dreaming glory, mana thistle, ancient lichen, black lotus) when u skin/herb their coprses.

Sometimes you will get a 70 green but nothing to get excited about

4 spawns, usually about 10 mins between respawning.

You get 30 rep for killin them with da skyguard.

During day the place is crowded with guys farming them.

Becareful if the place is crowded with the opposite faction as competiton is grim and people resort to a lot of underhanded tricks...see below

Kommentar von 96990

As much as these elites are hitting hard or not, its not them who get you killed. Area is crowded with mobs so when ever you pull extra one you are 80% dead, so clear before you enter combat.
Also be careful of stealthed players since they have a bad habit to wait for you to kill elite and loot and then steal your herb, so watch out. Saying this from personal experience since I farm this guys every day ( my personal best 21 primal and 16 stacks of various herbs for 3h 13min but alone without competition ).
I need to add that I kill them with hunter very well geared and don't have some special problems killing them but someone with blue/green gear should look for one more member.

P.S.
I got http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31501 Tome of Conjure Food VIII since I don't see him listed in drop list.

Kommentar von 86454

These can be soloed by elemental shamans by using a fire elemental and meeling(with flametongue weapon) and fire shocking and lesser healing wave spams.

Kommentar von 70779

I am able to solo these as a shadow priest with pre-Kara gear. Only epic is my season 1 shoulders, the rest are very modest blues and quest greens.

What this means is as soon as you can get into Skettis, you can farm these guys. You do not need to be totally decked out in Kara epics, thought it will make things much easier.

Kommentar von 88528

I soloed this guy as a Retribution paladin, using Avenging Wrath (not bubble) and Super Healing potion.

Kommentar von 48006

Judge light, nuke away.

If needed just stun him halfway through and heal once, easy as pie with good retri pvp gear :)

Kommentar von Skeld

Watch out for the opposing faction or even people of the same faction hanging about when you make the kill. Anyone can herb them once they are down, and the opposing faction will sometimes come in and try to CC you long enough to get the herb. Loot as quickly as possible.

Sorry, I agree with the below post, I should have clarified this.

Kommentar von 122069

Very easy to do as a feral druid.
Around 200g/h I'd say but I was watching a movie and standing on the same spot to wait for respawn. (110/h)

Facts:

Average from 3 hours
- 7:30 mins respawn time.
- 13.5g worth of herbs.
- 28.5k health.
- 30 Sha'tari Skyguard reputation.
- 12s coin drop.

Kommentar von Hydden

Four spawn points:
- south: amongst the warpstalkers, by the shore. I find this is the hardest one to get alone if you haven't cleared some of the mobs in the area, high chance of grabbing an add and missing a Mend Pet refresh or whatnot.
- west: patrols around the edge of the lake and a little through the empty patch. Easy to get alone without risk of adds.
- north: patrols along the north-east shore of the lake, and along the eastern shore of the lake (up to the hut). Reasonably easy to grab alone by the ridge north of the tree, or behind the hut south of the tree.
- east: up the hill from the lake, patrols along the ridge. Easy to get alone.

I simply cycle around the lake clockwise: generally by the time I'm all the way around all four the first one has respawned or is close to it (I start in the south, so if he hasn't spawned yet I clear some warpstalkers whilst I wait).

Kommentar von veno3

Solo them regularly in my raid gear(6.7khp), very easy and good gold/hr if your alone.

(Fire Mage, t5 geared)

Kommentar von marcimi

No problem for a T5-Entry Holy-Priest. Just make sure you have renew and shield on and use scream as soon as the cooldown is finished. Use shadow word: pain and smite the hell out if him ;)

Ya, don't move the whole fight. He will allways come back to you w/o add's.

Kommentar von 139669

This is a joke as a Spriest. Pop PW:S, VT, start running away and SWP, VE, turn around and SWD, fear, PW:S, then just mind blast/flay them down. It takes about 40% of my mana, and probably around 1/3 of my health. The whole process takes 30-45 seconds. Extremely easy. If I'm the only one farming, by the time i'm finished killing the last one, the first one respawns again. Rolling Herbalism is the best thing I ever did.

Kommentar von 108026

Very easy to solo as any kind of mage. It has dropped me 4x Black Lotus at once one time and since the 2.4 patch this baby drops Fel lotus instead of Black Lotus when u herb it, meaning you can get 4x Fel lotus at once which is an average of 120g~ depending on the server.

Kommentar von Raous

Solo able as moonkin, you may think;" Wtf they are immune to nature" They are... Just stay in Moonkin moonfire/starfire heal when needed and ez mode.

Kommentar von 131055

new update. wen skinned, they drop 5 motes of life. i killed it 6 times. always 5 motes + 2 types of herbs, 2-3 of each

Kommentar von kespec

great gold farming mob for herbalist, approximately 40 gold per kill..(lotus&herbs&primal life)

Kommentar von sdkphoenix

I find these are best to farm for mana thistle and terocone on high-pop servers.

feral druid, most tank stuff with a couple dps gear so they die faster. In bear form, using lacerate 3x then mangle. rinse and repeat until dead :D

Kommentar von 155988

Mages can easily solo this. Just open up with a pyro then use a combination of slow then scorch and fireblast. Just run around in a circle and frost nova if they get too close.

Kommentar von 5327

Requires 360 herbalism to loot.

Kommentar von Shockers86

One important thing to remember: Once you loot the corpse, anyone is able to herb the body. I've had countless stolen from me by stealthed rogues, druids in flightform, etc.

Always look all around to make sure no one is around, if you see someone staring at you waiting for you to loot, i suggest running to the next mob, then coming back in a minute or two. The body won't despawn for a few minutes if you don't loot it.

Kommentar von 169009

Easy for a prot warrior to solo just keep sunder x5 up and keep using sheild block and youll see um drop quite easily.

Kommentar von 81147

I didn't read all comments but here is a small guide for Elemental shamans on "How To Kill'em?".

As an elemental shaman using this strategy I manage to farm 2-3 Primal Lifes in about 1/2 hour as long as there aren't any people farming them. They also give random herbs which you can use for elixirs if you have alchemy and sell them at AH or keep them for your own use.

Kommentar von aicha

Requires herbalism 360 to "skin".

Kommentar von Sly99

It can walk on water :P

Kommentar von 182581

Easily soloable by high end moonkin. Just make sure you get in the Starfire/Moonfire from max range to start and barkskin as soon as he starts hitting on you. If it gets close at the end moonfire spam him to death.

Kommentar von 182737

70 Warlock: This is a herb pickers dream. I was able to solo him with out any pet, DOTs and fear, and down he went. I even hit the jackpot**5 Fel Lotus in one kill** I am racking up the herbs... Got to keep this a secert as long as possible. When the new release comes out Herbs will be in high demand for the new Talent Incriber. * Why pick your nose when you can pick Herbs*..

Kommentar von magnito

Being a mage with T5 and equal gear i find grinding theese incredibly easy and it makes a hell of a lot of money, if you know how to kite as a mage, you can do this with every spec, i'm doing it as fire atm, mainly because i'm raiding as a fire mage and don't wanna respec to grind.

As fire: Use frost nova when it gets too close, run away, fireball him till he's at you, use dragon's breath, when it runs out, blast wave and run away from it. Rinse and Repeat that.

As Arcane: basicly just keep slow up on him at all times, Arcane blast does a ^&*!load of damage if you can stay away from him while having it at 1.5 sec cast time (note that you might have to spend a mana emerald charge per tree dude as arcane)

As Frost: Probably the easiest spec to do this with, just kite him around having frostbolt at him at all times, use frost nova when he's hitting you, no big deal as frost really.

Note that if your on a PvP server, someone from the opposite faction can and will sometime try and steal it from you by flying down at the exact time that you loot it and start herbing it, jumps down and interrupts you, crowd controls you in some way and steal your herbs/mote of lifes. Your own faction might also try to steal from you, by simply starting to herb it the second that you loot it. Dunno how the things are on PvE servers, guess people also trys to steal from you there.

Kommentar von 159452

I play on a pretty high population Server, so farming this guy is very competitive. If the same is true for you, I advise making a Macro for it. I use
/tar Talonsworn Forest-Rager
/cast Arcane Shot (or any instant attack you have)
You can then turn of auto dismount in flight while casting and spam that while you fly around. Make sure you stay close to the ground, so you don’t dismount and take serious fall damage =)

Kommentar von yawgmoth

As has been said many times before, these guys are stupid easy for a frost mage to kill. If I pop icy veins/water elemental, I can kill one before it can even get close enough to hit me. As for farming them, just fly around in a circle on the edge of the lake and you can see 3 out of 4 spawns, the 4th being a little more eastward. Just find a time when your server is typically inactive and have at them; as an elixir spec alchemist, I make ~300g/hour from selling the P. life and making super mana pots/draenic wisdom elixirs.

Also, I think I have the most ridiculous luck with these guys and world blue drops. I've seen 3 JC recipes, the bringer of death, conjure water 9 tome, and the essence focuser.

Kommentar von miyago

respawn timer is at least 10 minutes

or perhaps it varies

Kommentar von 212794

i cant fine one of those tree guys in skettis

Kommentar von 255320

Easily soloable as a level 80 mage in full 8.5 tier gear.

I cast fireball a few times. Seemed to work for me, but your mileage may vary.

Kommentar von Axeoholic

The Best thing i love about these is when your level 80 and you really want the Flying Nether rays and you already finished the dailies is that you farm their bodies for 30 rep per kill.

Kommentar von Spinx

I figure these things are here to eat fishermen, I'm just standing there minding my own business and they just walk up and start attacking, seem to make a path right around the lake based on where a fisher would be standing.

Kommentar von Kurasu

Even in 4.0, these are a fairly efficient way to farm for large amounts of Primal Life. At level 80-85, they are an easy kill, and herbing them still drops guaranteed motes. Four trees is all it takes to get one Primal Life, max, while three trees is more common.

For pure herb farming, they can be fairly effective as well, if you're not looking for a specific herb. For instance, Scribes will find their drops very helpful, as it doesn't matter what herbs you get, as long as you're getting them in stacks of 5 for milling.

There are four separate trees, each on a different patrol route. One patrols up and down the west bank by the lake almost to the graveyard, one patrols the east bank near the lake, one patrols the south bank near the lake, and one circles in and near Lower Veil Shil'ak.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Go to Skettis in Wälder von Terokkar.
(OPTIONAL FOR THE RICH ONES: if you have some gold to spend, buy at least 6x Schattenstaub and as much Zeitverlorene Schriftrolle as you want - you need 10x for each boss spawn)

2. If you don't have 6x Schattenstaub, then kill Flügelwache von Skettis, Windspäher von Skettis, Seelenrufer von Skettis, Krallanier von Skettis, Krallenpriester Zellek, Krallenpriester Skizzik, Krallenpriester Ishaal, Kaliri von Skettis or Waldwüter der Krallenanbeter
until you get them. If you already have 6x Schattenstaub then go to the next step.

3. Go to Severin and accept the quest Schattenwelt. It will reward you with Elixier der Schatten, this elixir works for 20 minutes and you can repeat this quest over and over
to get unlimited elixirs. Elixier der Schatten gives you the possibility to see more creatures in the area: Zeitverlorener Jünger von Skettis, Zeitverlorener Hohepriester von Skettis, Zeitverlorener Häscher von Skettis.
These creatures drop Zeitverlorene Schriftrolle, it is used to summon mini-boss: Dunkelkreischer Akkarai, Gezzarak die Jägerin, Karrog and Vakkiz der Windzürner.

4. Fly in the Skettis area, focus on platforms and after you get 10x Zeitverlorene Schriftrolle, you can use them to summon one of the bosses that i've listed above.
You can do it in violet ritual circles, easy to localize, there are few.

5. Repeat previous step until you'll reach Excalted. CONGRATS!
