It seems there might be a bit of a glitch with this quest mob along with some of the crypt fiends in this zone. I was questing on my lvl 44 mage and he used his Summon Carrion Scarab ability. The scarab he summons appears as a ? to me. Not sure what level it is since I haven't tested this on a higher level character. Very unpleasant surprise though. Be careful.

Edit: Seems Blizz applied a hotfix to this issue, should be fixed now

Seems he's still summoning the scarabs unfortunately. Just got owned twice in a row.

having issues with this guy and his blinding swarm being really really hard to live through
even for a warrior

Commento di Talfen

Agreed. The scarab swarm is still nasty, though survivable. I wound up killing a minion and getting the Victory Rush buff before fighting him - when he brought up his scarab swarm I hit him with Victory Rush once my health got low. Once I did that he dropped into Execute range and I got him down. As for other classes, your best bet will just be to save your spell interrupts and hope that stops the swarm. You could also use any self heals at that point, but how effective they'll be is in the air.

Don't stand in the ~~fire~~ swarm.

Yea Got owned 3 times by this guy...still not sure how to beat him O_o

Start with some ranged and wait till Tarendis gets aggro („Don`t stand in the swarm!„), kill the scarab, go to Ix`lar`s back if you are melee and voila!

Commento di ziggy29

With a level 45 rogue, the only way I could survive this one was to get Tarendis to take the aggro and fire a bow from a distance. ANY attempts to melee with this guy ended in very quick death as I was losing 300-400 health frequently.

Kinda funny how a level 45 oneshottable mob thinks he can reunite the scourge.

Commento di 834538

Ok... I'm a level 43 undead rogue, and after making at least 8 attempts to kill this bastard I decided to activate my stealth talent, instead of my assassination. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I'm annoyed that I didn't think of this sooner. I was stealthed, ambushed him from behind, let tarenar do most of the fighting, and I hardly took any damage at all. Ugh. Finally!

Commento di Fluffmeister

First time, Tarenar came with me, but got killed (or ran off). I abandoned the quest, and took the quest from him again - but this time, he didn't come with me, so there's no way I can get him to take the aggro. Given up on this one!

Commento di 886005

Ugh as a rogue i tried 15 times before i could kill him the blinding swarm really hurts

Commento di 886328

The solution for this is actually simple, But it did take me 3 deaths to figure out. I beat him as a 43 Arms Warrior like this.
When he does his Swarm ability run straight backwards. He is stationary and his swarm radius is about 5 yards away from his hit box. It won't hit you after to back up. Once he stops casting continue beating on him until he's dead... =)
Enjoy!

When aggro'd he yells:

"The Scourge will rise again, under a dark new master... Ix'lar!"

Commento di 833385

Either I was extremely lucky or 4.3 has brought a nerf. He has less than 3500 health, and the fight was over in 20 seconds. I'm a hunter and my pet was hardly touched. The time I tried this quest on my warrior in a previous release, I lost count of the number of times I died before getting him.

Commento di 901239

Impossible fight is impossible. He summons his scarab things and it kills me in 3 ticks. lvl 41 Rogue, by the way.

He is much harder than I'd expect a lvl 45 ELITE to be. Much harder. I'll come back after I kill deathwing. May be strong enough then.

Commento di mentos2424

Defeated Ix'lar as a 42 Combat Rogue, and I too lost Tarenar as well during the first couple attempts. Speed is key in this fight because he will continue to pop swarm over and over. Don't bother with DoT attacks/finishing moves, go for burst damage.

1. Make sure to clear the area before fighting, I recommend the clearing closest to Eastwall Tower
2. Open with Cheap Shot
3. When you see the swarm begin, sprint away and you shouldn't take more than 1-2 ticks of it
4. Pop your cooldowns, a health potion and/or evasion if necessary, and finish the fight

My lvl 40 rouge soloed this, all i did was to put Recuperate on myself before the fight and then ran in to do so much dmg as possible before it does the special attack. just before i did a kidney shot so you interuppt him for a few secounds and got him down to 25% then i used sprint when he did the attack again to dodge it and then i nuked him down. 60% of my health left.

Commento di 939439

Attack from behind while the other guy is in front.

Commento di Shahh

Okay just did this on my rogue and after dying twice, came here. Read the suggestions, then tried this and it worked.

I let the npc pally get aggro while I was stealthed so that I did not get the aggro. I then backpedaled to just within range to use my thrown poisoned darts, and just kept throwing over and over as the npc pally tanked and the nasty bug finally died.

Hope this helps!

Commento di 991320

I struggled with this quest as well, especially since Tarenar died the first time and therefor didnt follow me later beacuse of a bug.

Anywho, I found out how to fix this bug and make him follow you again: simply abandon the quest, exit WoW, then log in again and start the quest, that did at least work for me.

Commento di Winternyght

The blinding swarm still hits ridiculously hard, but somehow I seemed to have positioned myself at just the right point that it didn't hit me while I was standing still. He used it twice and I took no damage, but I got hit with it the third time, while I was stunned from some other attack (I was surrounded by other mobs). It seems also that aggroing him causes aggro from everything else in the near vicinity.

I can also confirm that the bug in which he disappears when you revive where he killed you is still present. I did not let Tarenar die to his swarm (OP Shamans!) and therefore didn't test the Tarenar death bug.

So I tried this quest 4 times, each attempt ending in screaming frustration. So I said !@#$it, went to the Badlands, leveled twice (I was a lvl 43 dwarf protection/arms warrior origionally) and got way better armor and some overpowered shield thing (anti trogg shield) and then went and whupped his ass. Immediately after which he respawned walked up behind me and murdered me to death. Long story short, Ix'lar is a BASTARD. Took 2 freaking Exicutes to put him down.
