I four-manned him (priest, shaman, hunter, and warrior). Be careful. This guy is no pushover at all.

He can be solo pulled. Do that.

He's all melee. He hits really hard. My poor pet died in three hits. Yelp! He also has a melee-range AoE. So, don't stand to close unless you have to.

He has a lot of HP, and will take awhile to bring down. Of course, you want to kill him as fast as possible before the Alliance comes.

The first time, we weren't taking him seriously, and we wiped at 54%.

The second time, I pulled out my mechanicial greench and a mongoose potion. I gave my tank an elixir of giants, a gift of Arthas, and an elixir of superior defense. That got the job done...barely. The priest healed continuously. The tank went down at the same time the mob did. The priest rezzed the warrior, we collected the head, and got our flagged butts out of there.

The trinket has a 10-minute cooldown. You'd probably do well to swap it in and use it whenever the cooldown is up. The summonables also have a really far aggro range and attack on their own, so be careful when you pop this that you don't anger mobs you'd rather leave alone.

The prerequisite is to collect all the deeds in Scholomance. Really. The other message is wrong. That's a different quest chain.

Also, there's no doubt that the quest-giver is fratricidal, evil, and greedy. I felt really dirty after I turned this one in.

Weldon Barov is also an easy solo kill for hunters, especially after 2.0 patch.

All the hunter needs to do is wait for the area to clear of alliance, then pull him with Arcane, followed by Serpent and Concussive shot. Sic your pet onto Weldon then just kite him around, drop traps if you wish, not needed but may help add a little advantage, especially if you are entrapment spec'd. Just run around and jump shot concussive, stop for a second to shoot a round or two, then run again. Be sure to keep Cheetah on the whole fight, unless he gets into melee range, then switch to monkey, hit him with a wing clip, and get back to range as quickly as possible. Feign Death if needed, your pet can always be rezzed.

The best place I found to kite him is down by the river, as alliance do not typically travel there and there are no mobs there that will aggro unless you are basically standing ontop of them.

Good luck and have fun!

12:39, innervated myself twice.

root and moonfire. no consumeables.

pulled him using r1 frostbolt and the occasional fireblast to tarren mill, he was at about 45% when we got there, and i let the guards there finish him. thankfully all the allies just walked past and /waved or /cheered at me :)

Casters beware: This mob is immune to fear and hits for just over 2k, so if you have a party of 3 level 62s, a priest, a warlock and a warrior, you will find yourself struggling.

He can be taken by two mages using the following strategy.

First mage will gain aggro using a high DPS spell, such pyroblast or Arcane Missles. At the same time the second mage will hit him with frostbolt to slow him.
The first mage will kite him with using fireblast each time it is available. The second mage will repeatedly hit him with frostbolt.
If/When the second mage gains his aggro the two mages swap roles. The second will kite with fireblast and the first will use frostbolt.

This works very will if he is pulled over to the hills. The frostbolt mage can stand at the top of the hill and the fireblast mage can run around the bottom of the hill.

I've done this with a 65 mage (fire spec) and a 62 mage (frost spec) and he went down very quickly and easily.

can someone tell me the cordinates please?

It was done by me (60 resto druid) and my friend a 60 hunter. Not hard at all, we took add out quickly while he was rooted. after add went down, it was just a waiting game of root, moonfire, poisin sting and minimal DPS. took like 6 min but it was easy.

Well, you can solo Weldon easily, if you're a hunter or druid.

Its just a matter of time. I'm a hunter btw. I was kiting him from WPL to Silverspine Forest ><

Where are coordinates for this guy. I went to chillwind camp and he wasn't there, tons of alliance and horde fighting each other, but i don't think they killed him because there was no body lying around and it should have respawned eventually. Maybe he's on the outskirts or something?

Ok, everybody keeps saying: If you cant solo this u&nbsp are noob and so on. Iam NOOB, cos iam warrior. Thanks guys.....

The best way to kill him is to have a group with 1 Warrior and 1 Hunter (any slow spell) and kite him.

to all you guys who are claiming to have solo'ed this guy He hits a clothie for about 1300 white attack. How exactly did you do this. and be less vague and tell us what level you are

Barov can be found directly in front of the Chillwind camp(43,84). Easy to pull without extra mobs to worry about. But, like mentioned before, Chillwind camp is an Alliance post, so be very careful!!

I soloed it really easy as a elemental shammy at lvl 63. Still the exp is pretty good! (11900XP).

Worth mentioning... The quest giver, Alexi Barov, is the objective for the same quest for the Alliance. So if you want to complete the quest and Alexi isn't there (26,58)... He probably is dead... Just wait, or go and do something else for a bit, because it took me at least a 10 minute wait...

Please advise for a solid 5 man group to kill this bastard!

My guild master, who is a rogue, wanted to do this the other day, so, he and another rogue, and myself, I'm a druid, did this.&nbsp I rooted constantly, casting starfire, then re-rooting.&nbsp my guildies kept hitting him with crippling poison.&nbsp It took 3 major mana potions, and innervate, but we got him, not a real problem

2 shaman, 1 priest, 1 warrier, 1 lock (me) all 60 except warrier who was 58. 4 were guildies and 1 was a friend who I knew was reliable. Priest very good at healing, it wasn't too bad, I dotted CoD and others and SBs, warrier did well with aggro and shamans did their dps, took a couple of minutes but was fine.

Wheldon and Alexi are on cool down so if alliance kill the horde guy, takes a while before you can hand in.

I made it with a lvl 60 hunter we kited him 2 UC and then ran with him. I am warlock so when he had him down on 50% I doted him from then of it took about 1 min :D easy q

Just solo'd this guy, kited him down to tarren mill and then kited him around in circles while the guards helped me out, this is easy to do and definitely impresses the ladies.

darczombie
rain of chaos
server: duskwood

it is not hard its very easy i did it with all Dreadmist (im a warlock) i just did this when i just turned 60

I just did this solo as a 60 Shaman. Was really easy.

Rank 1 Frost Shock + Lightning Bolt

Just kite him around and nuke. I used 3 Greater Mana Pots, took about 7 minutes.

chillwind is near tarren mill, not several zones away.

Well... in PvP server, this area is PvP enabled anyway so no big deal about tagging. We did him last night with mage+warrior+warlock+priest just after a 4+ hour 5 man Scholo session. From what I've heard from a friend this q is not raidable. It's best to do him right after scholo cos u won't easily find a party just for this q, so when all have the q after scholo it takes 10-15 minutes more to go get the follow from Bulwark and head on to the alliance camp. If u have rogue or drood have them scout ahead for any allys there. If it's clear, move in.

This guy's melee should be avoided at all costs, so a frost mage is a must to keep his face blue and his pace slowed all the time while he is kited from mage to tank to mage again. My job (tank) was to continuously hamstring, stun and take aggro off mage when he would go too close. Even tank shouldn't stand close unless necessary to just hamstring and pull him off a clothie but still walk away from melee range and have him only follow from a distance. I heard a priest soloed him by kiting him around so ranged is the only playing style to do him.

As soon as you hit this guy he emotes an alert shout to all ppl in the area (just like the other PvP mission in Hinterlands) so expect allys coming in for an easy kill. We had only a hunter but warlock managed his pet and we did it (I was down to 400 health in the end). If you want to avoid interference kite him away from the camp, either south or west, and be fast so your presence wont be announced a lot in /1.General.

What trinket does is summon 3 lvl60 mobs (2 tauren and 1 undead) to fight for u for 10 secs and has a 10 minute cooldown. If there are no enemies around, those 3 will just walk around following you (didn't clean for me) and die after 10 secs. It's not the solution to bring down onyxia but is a great distraction confusing the hell out of anyone ambushing u or finishing them off.

Did it yesterday with my wife, frostmage and shadowpriest, both lvl57, using kiting strategy. I pulled him with frostbolt, then we waited for few more frostbolts so I could get aggro and I runned from him, occasionally using bolts to slow him down, while my wife dotted him.

I used elemental twice and still ran oom, used pot and mana giving orb from mage' class quest. I believe he can be soloed at lvl63-65 as frostmage, you can kite him w/o problems with just spamming your latest rank of frostbolts(I still used few rank1 to keep distance).

I kited him by the road to Andorhal and when we came to brige, I turned toward trees and ran back to Alliance' flypoint, he died on half way.

While you kite him, beware, this guy reached me once and I got him for around 1.5k hp, to my luck he never had a chance to repeat it.

Good luck with him.

After patch 2.3, he is still a Eilte, but he is surprisingly much weaker than before.(I gave up once before patch 2.3 when I was Lv60) solo him as a Lv63 warlock. He cannot even kill my felguard now :)

I found the point but no boss there, only an npc....! Eny1 got the coord?

just soloed it , full frost build ftw.
The mob is immune to frost nova but is chill-able and frostbite-able. So all you have to do is run 4 seconds + frostbolt , repeat until he dies.

We killed Barov with a 5 man party (warrior,druid,warlock,thief and hunter). He hits quite hard (bout 500 per swing to the tank) and may crit for 2k+, but except that it's a straightforward kill... But .......
There is a "but" :

It's PvP because the guy stands in the Alliance camp in Western Plaguelands, and it activates the PvP flag as soon as you hit him.
So, try to be stealthy when you prepare to kill him, because there will be soon A LOT of alliance players that will grow around (its worse than pitiful flies), and trust me, the guy will be hard to beat with pallies and priest healing him, and thieves stabbing you in the back while you fight him ... ARGH I HATE THE ALLIANCE ! (and they can spend like 1 hour waiting for your party to engane him.. trust me)

yea we killed him 10 mins ago with Priest,Mage,Hunter(me),warrior and Rogue

no raid...party and we didnt get to loot him, we managed to pull him with no adds or anything there was only 1 shaman 52 that healed him twice..aimed shot + mulltishot fixed the problem...but me the mage and the priest had the quest only has this anything to do with the quest?

Just soloed him as Warlock just used curse of exhaustion and kept dots running on him. Died in the first try he got to close and 3hitted me. Takes time but is doable. Yay to servants.

Tried with 6 man raid on 2006-05-24, was not lootable.

is it horde only?

I am a bloody nice persona and outside of BG I wouldnt hurt anyone so give the horde a break!

Soloed as a druid full feral build. This would have been ALOT easier with innervate. First time I tried, I'm thinking I might be able to tank him with a few roots/heals, but when i try to kite him towards hillsbrad, he resists a roots and crits me for 2100 (Ouch). Without a doubt the hardest time I have ever had solo'ing anything. Took over 15 mins with +Damage and mana/5 gear. Lots of spirit gear too. Roots/starfire/let mana regen a little.

I Found it good to drag him straight south towards the river, where you have plenty of room to go around him on the banking. Nature's Grasp was a godsend here.

I slowly run him to the AV entrance with repeated frost bolts as recommended. The gaurds finished him off but I could not loot him. As I was solo, not in a raid, I'm very confused why I can't loot him. The quest did not get completed.

Anyone know why?

Is it raidable?

Soloed him as a frost mage. Kept spamming rank 1 frostbolt on him and kited him all the way down to Tarren Mill. Kept kiting him around the town while the guards helped killing him. Takes some time (the guards only hit him for about 70-90 damage) but eventually he died and I could loot him.

Don't let him get close though. His first strike appears to always crit, which on my clothie ass means 2500+ damage.
