Currently immune to all AOE attacks.

Were being farmed for embersilk cloth.

Bliz made them immune to aoe and lowered drop rates.

*sad face* D:

Can't be frozen, so kinda frustrating for frost mages. They run fast too and can interrupt so take care when aggroing bit too many....

Comment by Xyrec

A rogue's worst enemy, you can't even get away from them when you use Vanish... Sigh.

Comment by Zorvius

They are just some annoying mobs. End of story.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned how easy these are to farm Tiny Treasure Chest. Since they are "neutral", not hostile, on my 84 rogue I'm able to stealth open on them and destroy them in about 5 seconds without taking much damage. They drop cloth, money, greys and the occasional Tiny Treasure Chest.

Of course you need a Potion of Treasure Finding

Also the only mobs I know of nice enough to greet you when you try to stab them.

Comment by Borelia

And to top it all off, these guys are somehow *not* undead. They're humanoid.

You'd think with the clear ghost effect they'd be susceptible to pally crits, but noooooo.

I was able to farm alot of cloth with my tailor, I don't know about other toons. I may not turn this in right away, if I don't find somewhere else to farm stacks of embersilk.
I did manage in one week of farming to make about 60 bolts.
It appears the drop rate isn't as steady, i was averaging 1 per 2 kills on my tailor or there might have been a nerf done.

This is an excellent embersilk farming spot for a tailor. They have low hp, respawn very quickly and drop a fair amount of cloth. One trip around the room gave me 3 stacks and I didn't even kill every mob in sight. Since they're only visible to those with the quest, nearly all of the time I have the room completely to myself. The only irritation is avoiding the skeletons on the floor. They will still pop up and attack and they drop nothing, not even coins.

I never finished the quest and have kept it in my log just to have access to these guys. The drop rate is not as spectacular as it was when I was here at level 82 but I have kept the quest since these mobs are not aggressive, I seem to have almost exclusivity to the spot and these things die very easily. All of these things seem to combat the slightly lower drop rate that I'm experiencing at level 85.

Now I'll just sit back and wait for some sort of nerf in the future.

Edit: I recently switched from frost to fire and found this spot more difficult due to the knockdown these mobs use. I also revisited this spot with my shaman that is not a tailor, and the cloth drop rate was horrible.

They might not have alot of HP, but they hit like a truck :x

Comment by Kiputytto

I was pleasantly surpriesd at the drop rate of Embersilk Cloth. Anywhere from 1-4 cloth at a time. They are an easy kill as well, at least for my shadow priest. I cast two Mind Spike and then my instant cast Mind Blast and their dead. I don't think I'll be finishing this quest anytime soon.

These ones have 3 abilities when you mind controll them. Most notable is the Roundhouse kick.

Comment by Eillesthis

Before By the Light of the Stars you can see a few these Indentured Protectors wandering around the Chamber of the Stars. Once you accept that quest, and receive the Sapphire Spectacles (which don't need to be equipped), you can see many many more (in addition to the Suspended Starlights).

They aren't affect by frost nova, and usually two seem to become hostile at once. Simply clear the area first, to around 40 yards/meters around the star and you won't have any problems with them.

Comment by BeornwulfSaxon

As an Enhancement Shaman, these enemies are not getting hit by my Crash Lightning, making them a very frustrating fight unless there's a skeleton nearby...
