As a note; if you're a caster, the voidshriekers put a 75% damage reduction spell on them, for the school of magic that hits them first. So, ie, if you're a shadowpriest, hit them with smite first, to give them the holy resistance debuff, otherwise they'd have a 75% shadow dmg reduction.

As a Holy Paladin, losing out on almost all of my damage would make these insanely painful. White damage alone would take forever.

So I visited the Auction House and grabbed a few stacks of Ez-Thro Dynamite 2. Works like a charm to set the resistance and then wail away with Holy damage at will.

Note to Holy Paladins:

-Fiery Weapon proc will not make them resistant to fire.
-Seal of Righteousness will not make them resistant to holy. Judging it or using Holy Shock however will

Even easier for a warlock is casting Curse of Tongues to cut down on the amount of fireballs/shadowbolts they throw at you.

They also do not debuff themselves from wand damage.

Non-harmful debuffs put on them also trigger the debuff for that spell school. Be warned.

Interestingly, enslaving them with the different debuffs seems to depict what spells are available on the pet bar at the time you enslave. With no debuff, they keep Shadowbolt, and whilst there is no Fear ability on the pet bar, they DO occasionally fear the mob you send them to attack.

do these share spawns with other types in there? I mean to grind for 15 shadow resist enchant.
Just wondering if i should kill everything there or can i just pick these?

One thing I noticed about voidShriekers (besides the fact that they resist whatever you hit em' with first) is that they would always hit me back with the same school of magic. If I threw frost, it hit back with the same, if I threw fire, it returned fire. Dunno if it is different for other classes. My strategy was to pop ice lance, then my frost ward - then whale away with the fire damage. Unbelievably easy.

Tried to use Oil of Immolation on these yet it did not give the debuff.

I also tried to use my Six Demon Bag to debuff them. I hit them with a 1500 fireball crit from the bag yet it did not give them the fire debuff.

It seems the easiest way for a holy pally to kill these is just use SoR and do not judge/shock or exorcise until the very end (it seems their debuff takes a moment to take effect so you can hit them with two quick instants for the full damage).

As an ele shaman, I find the best way is to open up with fireshock and burn with LB. They are a really PITA and do about 500-600 damage a pop. This quest blows. If I didnt need the money for my epic flyer I would just abandon it. And dont use ice, that is the worst.

If you´re a holy priest with a decent amount of spelldamage (813 here with Imp Spi), they´re actually rather easy to farm: I usually open up with a Holy Fire (sets them immune to holy, but that doesn´t really matter), followed by a SW:P and a Mind Blast, then shield and wand him down. That way you eat a max of 2 Holy Bolts, even less if you´re lucky. Also very mana efficient in my experience.

On another note: If you´re NE, you can also open up with Starshards, which puts the immunity to arcane (use Rank 1 for mana efficiency).

Be sure to pick up the quest Recipe for Destruction, before you start farming for the Formula: Enchant Cloak - Greater Shadow Resistance. I actually picked up the formula before I finished the quest. I got the formula after 25 kills. Not too bad.

I farmed this as a shadow priest. I opened up with Holy Fire, because it requires less mana than a Smite. Didn't bother going back into Shadowform, since that's just a waste of 900 mana when you're farming these one after another and having to switch out for the holy damage anyway.

best method for a frost mage:
pop ice barrier and fire ward
throw a fireball and than finish off with frostbolts
each fireward should give you at least 2 kills

Kommentar von Shalkar

Dropped on the 96th kill for me. Other general info (a sum-up)
- They share spawn-points with Unstable Voidwraiths so kill'em all
- They have a better mote of shadow drop-rate than the Voidwraiths (45%ish vs. 30%ish)
- They have less HP than Voidwraiths (4Kish vs. 6Kish)
- Best cycle for an Affliction Warlock I found was: Searing pain, Siphon Life, Corruption, (Unstable affliction too if you have less than 1100 shadow damage)

Kommentar von Aircraft

If you're a priest and grinding out some gold shadow, use mass dispel to make them holy resistant while in shadowform.

Kommentar von Atraira

Thunderfury's proc doesn't trigger nature resist.

booooooooo, I was kinda counting on that since I'm a Pally.

Kommentar von Fyurae

For a hunter, I would imagine that even at level (I am 70 now) these wouldn't be much of a hassle. But I would recommend opening with an arcane shot so that your serpent sting is still viable. The sting ticks off more damage than arcane shot, and with the long cooldown time on arcane shot, you probably wouldn't get a second one in anyway.

Also, they respawn very quickly and they can knock you out of the air. So dont go AFK after clearing a spawn area like I did.

I know a lot of Holy Paladins have had trouble farming Voidshriekers, so I figured I'd share my rotation.
Keep in mind I'm at about 850 spelldamage, just wearing my normal healing gear.
With SoR up, melee until he casts 2 shadowbolts, then HoJ halfway through the third Shadowbolt. Shock+Judge+Exorcise, should put him under 15% life. Hammer of Wrath.
Since HoJ is on 60 second cooldown, Blood Elf Paladins can replace HoJ with Mana Tap every other time, and do the same cycle.
This is the fastest most effective way I've found to kill them.

Retribution paladins: Seal of Command is classed as holy damage, and will cause the Holy Resistance debuff. Crusader strike is classed as physical damage and will not cause or be affected by this debuff.

Kommentar von 76653

If your a BE Paladin, mana tap triggers arcane resist so you can use all the holy spells you want :P

Kommentar von Tadzulempke

As an Elemental Shaman, cast Lightning Bolt and before it reaches the NPC, cast a Frost/Flame Shock

Kommentar von 113107

Hunters - they track as Demons

Kommentar von Doomhawk

Seal of Command procs will make them holy-resistant, but Seal of Blood doesn't. Go figure.

Kommentar von 144159

As Enhancement Shaman, these mobs aren't very tough though, with descent ap and crit% they die very fast, and you don't even have to cast a single shock on them.

Kommentar von 153649

Night elf balance druids can make this particularly easy by opening with a wrath. You already have +10 nature resistance to the attacks they'll inevitably use next, so you can blast away with Starfire and Moonfire. For whatever reason, insect swarm didn't seem to trigger the effect. *shrugs*

Kommentar von 151678

These don't appear to get the resistance de-buff if the magic hits them whilst stunned. As a demo' 'lock, I found i could charge in my felguard, and immolate them during the stun, and although they still used fireballs upon me and the chat log showed them absorbing the energy of the attack, they didn't seem to develop the resistance. Though you can just lead with an immolate and follow with shadow spells and it won't matter.

Kommentar von Aredict

As a resto druid, I was having a hard time with these guys. I tried out both Nature and Arcane resistances, using Barkskin for the spell pushback, even feral gear with cat form. None of these methods worked as effectively as I would have liked.

Then I randomly tried Entangling Roots. What this led me to discover is that when Arcane resistant (shooting Arcane Missiles) they have a much shorter range than the other bolts. I would guess ~20yds instead. This means that you can outrange them and avoid the nasty Missile pushback.

So, as a druid, open up with a Starfire, then Roots. Proceed to Wrath spam and reapply Roots as necessary. It led to me taking much less damage and spell pushback.

Good luck!

Kommentar von Corundum

Very easy to farm for mages.

Put on Fire/Frost ward, use the one that is not your spec
Put on Dampen Magic, so that you ward will last a bit longer
Launch either a fireball/frostbolt (use the same school as the ward you put up)
Burn them to the ground

With these step you should take little to no damage from the Voidshriekers

Kommentar von annerajb

i have a tip for most of the people in here open with a stun or cc ability they wont be able to put the 75% damage shield up but they will still cast the spell from that school. as a ret paladin i open with repentance when its on CD HoJ and arcane torrent. have fun.

Kommentar von Maleficious

When enslaved these come with one castable ability, Shadowbolt; this version takes around 2s to cast and does around 700 damage (from what I remember). When hit with a spell they will autocast a resistance spell on themselves, and when in melee they have a tendency to randomly cast Psychic Scream, hence the name Voidshrieker.

Kommentar von Feliciamarie

Still drops as of 4.0.6.

Took me about 4 kills. In Wrath I tried farming this however and after an hour or so of farming I gave up.

Kommentar von 731625

Took me 6-10 kills before it dropped !
