Marshal Dughan wants you, and not him to kill Hogger for a reason.
He wouldn't last 10 seconds against Hogger, and you should not attempt this without a 40 man raid.

Nerf Hogger, blizzard!

This is the first "elite" quest in the human storyline. This is best in a group or you will most likely die from adds, extra monsters attacking you.

Once Hogger is dead have everyone in your party loot his body and pick up his claw, it will be available to everyone that has the quest in your party.

It's pretty tough to solo this at level 10ish. I recommend finding at least one more, AND clearing the roaming gnolls. Also, avoid the camps, they have a rather large radius of aggro :)

Soloed him as a 70 holy/protect hybrid paladin. I had to spam heal and use Seal of the Crusader. I even had to pop LoH, which crit healed for 14k, so that really helped too. The armor from the quest reward is awsome! It's perfect for my level. After the fight, I used DI and hearthed out

He is south of westbrook garrison, on the southern peninsula. I found him wandering around the southeast side of it, so was able to avoid most aggro by running there along the river'sedge. If you get in trouble, jump in the water and the gnolls will not follow.

Hogger is one of the first elites you will encounter. Bring friends, he has far more hitpoints than a normal mob of his level.

I had no problems with this one. Had a good group and we took care of him easily, just get a two-three people group and take him down really.
Ye, u might wanna take the gnoll's in the area just in case.

Hogger has three different spawn locations, one is near the stream seperating Elwynn Forest from Westfall sorta patrolining. Another place is by a big tree sorta in the middle of the gnolls. The last place is by another tree but more near the stream than the middle. Hogger is an lvl 11 elite Gnoll. Of the area that he's in, go north (but not into Westfall) and I'm sure you'll find him. It should be easier with a buddy unless can stun him and run if you have to.. I've done this quest with my Human, Blossem. I hope you find him. Happy Hunting!

My Human is a Warlock. If you are a Hunter or a Warlock, everything should be okay unless you Hunters don't have your pet yet.

&nbsp Took him with a lvl 12 warrior. Sundered twice, rend, hamstring,a bunch of regular blows andwas lucky enough to overpower. It was close and after I killed him another non-elite came over and killed me before i could bandage....figures, lol. GL

As a warlock or a hunter (Night elf or Dwarf), it should be solo-able, if you play your class right. I soloed him on my human warlock easily.

But ya, having a group is the best choice, since there are other Gnolls around the area, it should be easy with a full party or just one or two extra people in the party.

If you're a druid, go for the staff reward and carry it with you at all times.

With some 2.1 speed rares being the fastest available, this 2.2 speed is the easiest way of keeping your skill up. By keeping your staff skill at 3 below maximum you will only need to whack with it for a few minutes every new level in order to raise your skill by 5 points, and keeping your damage up.

FireBall from as far as possible
fireblast as he approaches(if too close skip this part)
Frost Nova
Get as far away and fireball
Repeat step 2
Frost nova(or bolt if nova hasnt cooled down yet)

Should be helpful.
(Impact may help but if its a level 10 mage its very rare you will get the stun effect)

He is easy, usualy you find some people looking for a group but thats very rare just do it when your high enuph lvl to solo him or get a friend to help when the quest is still red or orange to you. Anyway he is like the first group quest and has no special abilites.

Ha! I'm glad horde dont have this quest, I accidentally aggro'd him while looking for the Darkmoon Faire in Elwynn Forest and he one-shotted me.

Was half-way back to my corpse and looking through my combat logs before I realized what happened. I'm gonna get my guild to help me take him, I hope he drops Horde loot.

lvl 60 priest.

did it very easy as warlock 17. I am sure I could have done him at lower lvl to.100% sure. Strat that works for warlock imp summoned, cast fear. shadowbolt and let imp do firebolts on him.fear him again as soon as he snapps out of it and keep the shadowbolts up whenever u have the time. I recommend clearing the area for gnolls first though...he runs around alot and u don't wanna get 15 of those gnolls hammering u while ur at it. This went very smooth for me and I really can't understand how this one can oneshot a lvl 60 or even whipe a group of highlvls. Gl to you all)

Took him down solo with a lvl 12 warlock easily. Put my voidwalker on him, curse of agony, corruption, immolate, shadow bolt, health funnel, which pulled the aggro off the void so I hit a potion and he was down. Easy as cake.

Careful about the level 12 elite there, although he is half as hard. (the level 12 should drop the gold pickup schedule for the collector)Hogger is not one to be dealt with by yourself, and if you aggro a mob with him, you are out of luck...i did this at level 12 as a mage with a level 10 pally.

Uh did I miss something or are we talking about the same guy. Me (lvl 12 at the time Pally) and another (lvl 14 pally) killed him with like 5 hits each. He was cake at best. I wasn't even on the quest when we did it either just ran into him while doing that other quest. If you have a decent hack and slash technique of letting it rip when he's in front of you he'll go down (insert sorry explict example here).

I don't know why some high level people have trouble with him... He is soloable, as long as you manage to pull him out of his camp (which isn't that hard as he has a high aggro radius and likes to wander around). I soloed him as a Lvl. 13 Paladin by armoring myself to the teeth and healing as often as I could.
