If solo meleeing these guys be warned, they can bitchslap punt you far aways if you can stun/silence/interrupt them somehow. If you're fighting on the bridge, the fall off it can be fatal unless you have a way to slow the descent or survive it. Fight them underneath the bridge or with some sort of obstacle you can be knocked into should you get hit. Also, some Frost Resistance and Fear protection goes a long way too in helping fight these guys, if you're not ranged and can't just snare and shoot them.

If you get knocked off the bridge by the powerful knock-back effect, don't use slow-fall effects until you're near the ground. I managed to get blown from one end of the conflagration to the other by using levitate too soon (approximately 1/3 the breadth of Icecrown).

Anyone else notice their knockback is called "Lich Slap"? Because I find that hilarious.

They can be feared.

Oh yeah, to make these guys even more of a P.O.S., their spells IGNORE SPELL REFLECT. Like almost everything else in WotLK. Way to go Blizzard, making Warriors' best anti-caster spell totally useless in PvE.

Freezable, stunnable, all in all kitable if not for the spells. Frost Resistance helps a lot if you decide to tank or solo them.

Comentado por Wartem

Soloable as warlock without kiting or any other trix.

Easy to solo as paladin with turn evil. Dps all you can, then, when you need heal or get your cd backs, just turn evil. Repeat as needed. Frost aura greatly helps, as i managed to fully resist lots of time the frostbolts.

I'm a demo-spec lock. I enjoy soloing the various elites in Icecrown for the heck of it, and most of them are really easy--like the Pustulent Horror and Bone Sentinel.

However, I can't seem to get these Harbinger of Horrors. They always knock my Felguard back then it fires frostbolts at me, which I succumb to easily. Even when it manages to still keep attacking my FG after it knocks it back, it always knocks the FG toward the direction of one of the other Harbingers, so I end up pulling 2 and there's no hope of surviving both of them.

Well, I had no problems soloing the plaguehounds, as a DPS Feral Druid with 21.5k hp in Bear Form, but these ones were kinda tough, even though indeed POSSIBLE.

Never, I mean NEVER dare fighting them in the bridges, always go to the bigger platforms at the edges (but don't stay in front of a wall, you'll soon know why), as these guys have an annoying VERY long knockback which they use often. Whenever they do so, enjoy the opportunity to heal (that's why I told you not to stay in front of a wall :p) and go back knocking them. Interrupt their Frostbolts always when possible, they hit horribly hard for someone soloing (around ~3k damage). Blow cooldowns whenever available and you should be able to beat them. Also, take potions with you, 2700~4500 health makes a nonsense difference against these guys!

Incredibly easy to solo as a mage.

Stupid mob is always guarding that Saronite Deposit, and doesn't hold back with his instant death spell either.

Solod on a blood death knight, these things are tough though.

Relatively easily taken down with army of the dead but if that's on cool down your going to have to be careful. Its best to try to get in between it and a cliff (like at the end of the bridge) to nullify the knock back or at least keep in line with the bridge so you don't get knocked off the side and use death grip to pull it back to you. Spam the death strike, use anti magic shell and death pact on your ghoul to heal.

Tanking geared (quest items) feral druid. Tried it and failed, multiple times. Their frostbolt is too frequent and too powerful to be solved by the one close ranged interrupt offered by bear form. When they knock you back, you have the chance to feral charge them, but it makes little difference in the long run. Either get a load of frost resist or find a group if you plan on druid'ing these guys in quest gear.

EDIT: I managed to take down one with the following strategy. Be on one of the bridges, but position yourself so if you are knockbacked/feared you go down the bridge, not off the sides. Make sure there are no mobs nearby. This might be impossible if you don't have Furor (at least a good % change of the rage generation). A potion would help. Have self auto-cast of healing spells on in your options.

First, make sure all your cooldowns are available. Start the fight with cat form Berserk and a Pounce, then quickly put everything you have into getting 5 combo points (use Shred, and rake and mangle at least once). Use either Rip or Maim and go into Bear Form. From this point, lacerate, lacerate, and more lacerate. Use mangle if you have the rage. When he casts frostbolt and you are nearby, use Bash to interrupt it. Hope that he knocks you back. If he does, use Cyclone to suspend him. Keep targeting him, but heal yourself and reapply the CC if you must. When you're ready, QUICKLY go into Bear Form and immediately charge (this is where you need Furor) because he will almost definitely try to frostbolt you as soon as Cyclone breaks. When you get near the end of a bridge (or too close to a mob) then face him the other way.

From here on it's a rinse-repeat cycle. Use innervate when your mana is dwindling, blow all the CDs you can (save Survival Instincts for last), and pray that you live.

Using this tactic, I downed one while I was on Survival Instincts (but no base hp left).

Solo is rather easy as a shaman. Wind shear interrupts frostbolt, but the frost bolt ignores grounding totem, at least for me.

Had a lot of problems fighting these as a blood dk but on my current shadow priest they're pretty easy. I have improved vampiric embrace which means 25% of my damage done heals me and this made the fight pretty trivial.

Before the fight, apply PW:S and engage from max distance (VT, DP, SWP, MB, MF). They tend to charge towards you at first and only cast their frostbolt after a few seconds so chances are that you won't get hit untill they start a frostbolt.
One PWS absorbs about 1.5 frostbolts so you still have to watch out for their instant attacks but a quick renew and even dispersion if you really get into trouble takes care of everything.

I am a warrior trying to solo these mobs for the quest. Down to about 10% health for us both, with some survival tricks up my sleeve, I ended up getting "Lich Slapped" pretty far with some frost slowing me to close the gap. I popped "Last Stand" since both my health and the mob's health were low, I found myself so far away from this mob, outside of Charge distance and running with frost slowing, that his health reset. As long as there's bridge behind you, the knockback won't send you over. But man, that was frustrating getting frost and "lich slap" at the same time as a melee tanking class.

I find they are easy to kill as DK but if lower level might be a bit harder. Unfortunatly their knockback "Lich Slap" hit me off the bridge and I died. Tip: stand against a wall. As far as I am aware they can be feared, stunned ect.
