soloed as a 70 warlock.. seemed too obvious but I just stood on the roof.&nbsp MY drain life and siphon life healed the damage he did from his bow.&nbsp He seemed to reset every 10-15 seconds, but if you land a spell quickly his health doesn't reset.&nbsp His damn skeletons couldn't reach me.

My guild scheduled this last week as a nightly event along with the Battle of Darrowshire.
We did both with 12-15 people, no problem, it took about an hour total, and cleared out a lot of people's quest logs (not to mention getting my Druid alt to 58).&nbsp Definitely true that on a PvP server, you only get one shot at it, so you may as well drop Nathanos as fast as possible after you start hitting him, and just not worry about actually killing his adds (just off-tank them).&nbsp That way if any Horde do decide to show up and wipe out your raid group, at least you got the quest done first.

As some people have noted, the only hard part about this is finding 15 or more people who want or need to kill BlightCaller and are patient enough to stick around until a decent raid group can be formed.

We completed it ther other night on the Garona Server by PUG. 25 minutes to create the raid group less than 1 minute to kill BlightCaller.

Our strat:

2 pets on one dog
1 off tank on other dog
tank on BlightCaller
All DPS on BlightCaller
No heals (no bandage, no pots, no healing spells)

BlightCaller died quickly, but someone drank a potion and summoned the skels, which wiped us out. We ran back from the cem and finished off the skels. From start to finish, 5 minutes tops.

This raid is a lot of fun, once you get a raid group together.

Our guild did it with 15 people.&nbsp Nobody healed or used any healing related spells/seals and the Skeletons still appeared.&nbsp With 10-12 people you probably need use some strategy - but with 14+ the best thing to do is just attack Blightcaller with everything you have - he will die and complete the quest.

So is a raid group required to complete this quest?

Or does it just mean that You CAN use a raid group and still receive the rewards? Please help. Thanks.

Done this a million times, dont know why some have had problems with it at all, just everyone all out nuke blighty.

Did it a couple days ago and everyone underlined to not heal and I mean nothing that regenerates your health, no heals, healthstones, health potions, vampiric embrace, drain life etc etc. And sure enough I could see no skellies, blighty went down quickly, so did the dogs, around 2-3 deaths.

A shammy turned up to watch, but did not interfere at all, just /cheered at us and /mourned blighty.

Did this today with 16 level 60 guild members. Sent 1 tank, and split all pets between the 2 dogs. Everyone else nuked the hell out of Blightcaller. Of course, despite the many many warnrings, some health was regened somewhere and the skeletons spawn.

Still though, everyone hit Blightcaller hard and he went down very easily. There were a few deaths but nothing crazy. I didn't die. In fact, I don't even recall getting hit until AFTER Blightcaller was already dead. (Then, I was able to feign death and walk away unscathed).

Really, this is very easy. Can definitely be done with a 15 man PUG.

There was a Tauren druid who stood by and watched the whole time but didn't interfere.

A couple days after 1.9 and we did this with 15 people and NOONE GOT CREDIT! We pulled the dogs w/o aggroing him and killed them then tried to kill him and wiped once and killed him the second time. A couple ppl died but most survived and noone got credit - please tell me this is a bug.

you have to be lvl 56 to get the chain. to know when you got it go to the center of SW trade dis and a guard will call out your name and tells you to head to the keep

Nice comment Bladester, unfortunately it has very little to do with this chain.

Another option which I haven't seen mentioned yet, which has worked very well for me and my guild, is to simply kite the dogs. That'll take a hunter on each dog, the rest can all happily dps the hell out of Blightcaller. You could even just decide to heal anyway and simply take the skellies on the chin, as Blighty will go down so fast you will have more than enough health/mana left to take care of the dogs pronto and the skellies no probs. Worked for me several times. Laugh, pick up loot, hand in quest, get reward. Cake.

If you have a cpl of guildies who have anywhere near T1 items, esp. if they are tanks and/or mages, you can do this with SIGNIFCANTLY fewer players, cutting down on your spamming time for LFGs.

Just killed him today with 11 people on "Hakkar"
Group consisted of 2 Rogues, 3 mages, 1 warrior, 2 priests 1 warlock, 1 druid and 1 paladin (me).

First couple of tries we used absolutely no healing of any kind but the skeletons came no matter what, so we decided to kill him with full dps and healing.
Paladin (me) ran with the hounds, just before dying used shield, the hounds ran back, and when the shield weared out, the hounds and all the skeletons returned faithfully to me or rather chasing me that is. In the meanwhile the 10 others used full DPS on Nathanos, he died, quest fulfilled, and then wipe...

Conclusion, healing or no healing, the skeletons will appear, so just kill him.... Good luck

did this with 11 people:

4 warlocks(57, 58, 60, 60)
3 rogues (60, 60, 60)
1 Warrior (59)
1 priest (60)
1 mage (60)
1 hunter (60)

died the first attempt becuase there were too many skeletons. second time was pretty easy less healing. we managed to kill him but the skeletons finished us off. doesn't matter though just as long as you kill him.

Flint Shadowmore of SI:7 stands in front of the ruined cabin in Chillwind Point, the Western Plaguelands.&nbsp He gives the quest "The Eastern Plagues," which is the continuation of the Blightcaller quest chain.&nbsp If Highlord Bolvar or Mathias don't give any quests, perhaps you're on the Flint Shadowmore step.

200 rep at lvl 60

Its not 59 anymore. Im a 58 NE Hunter on Shattered Hand and I just got the quest!

A...mage I believe it was...on my server, soloed Blightcaller, must find the video...

Did this quest with 23 people on Eonar tonight and we had 3 people die in the doing. My guess is that you can do it with about 18 without ~too~ much trouble, if you're good. The best way to do it is to gather your grou at Darrowshire, so you don't get spotted by Horde. Or if you do, they might think you're gathering for Defenders of Darrowshire and not say anything. Even on PvE servers, this is important because Blightcaller is PvP enabled. You ~can~ pull the dogs if you want and I recommend it if you have a large enough group so that you can take them down quickly. After that, just hit Blightcaller as fast and as hard as you can.

Got on my horse, rode past him to agro. Turned around to look, sure enough there were 2 skellys spawned. Hmmm.

plz somebody tell me where i should take the reward

what does it mean by Level 62 if the cap is 60?

you can solo pull the dogs off of him, which is what we did. then we just had the MT sit there and take his abuse while everyone else focused fired him. we ended up killing him with three deaths, and then everyone wiped to the skeletons, but we all got credit for the kill.

Oh and I ment to say that there's no way in hell anyone solo'd this. Simply not possible.

So has anyone done this with the skeletons not spawning at all?

wuts the beginning quest of this?

I've done this with large groups about 3 times now mostly because we put out the notice and a lot of guild people jumped in to help. It's nice with a very large group because hardly anyone dies and you don't have to worry about horde attacks. Doesn't bother me one bit to do it with more than we really need. It just makes it that much easier to knock it out.

I did it last night og should I say we did it.
I startet to gather a group at about 16.30 and got the first group together at 17.30. We where 11 people and tried 3 times, but even though we did not heal - or people say they did'n heal, the skeletons came anyway. We got wiped 3 times.
Then half the group left. We joined forces with another group and we where then 10 people. the didn't have much time, so we tried again inly 10. We got wiped of course and skeletons came again, så I guess people don't get the koncept of NO HEALING!
Damn.. The time said 19.00 and most of the people from the group was gone again. But somehow the rest of us gathered 13 people all together and the lock summoned all to be there.
We tried again.. someone healed again.. skeletons came, I died.. One of the hounds was mad at me for some reason. but when I died Blightcaller was down to 8% and when I ressurrected, the rest had killed him off and we completed the quest! YES! The hounds he had survived, but he died so that was the main target. The time said 20.00
I guess the point is, that you can do it even though someone don't understand that they should not heal and you can do it only 13. Most people say you MUST be at least 15 or 20 to complete it. Not true at all.
And I got my nice bow from the quest, so I am a happy but tired hunter.
By the way the shield is nice for pallys but if you can't get peope together, then go to scholo and get the Rattlecage buckler in stead. My pally did. It is small and not so impressive, but the stats is even nicer I think than the protector for a pally.
My hunter have tried to get the ancient bone bow from scholo also, but no such luck.

haha my crusader proc'd and he summoned skellys. killed a couple in my raid as a result.

since I dont use wand with my lock
i want just good stamina
so this wand is great =]
