EU+US nl ap farm just got harder.

Blizzard in their eternal wisdom added 2 level 110 elite mobs with 7.5 million health (near the waterfall past first boss) that aggro even through stealth. While I had no problem killing them on my rogue (took a decent chunk of damage though) I can imagine that casters will have serious problems with those 2 mobs.

i noticed that some time back before 7.2 but it was only a few times that it happened to me, have they made that a permanent thing now?

Think they're tied to the World Quest that's active in NL

It's tied to a world quest. Correct me if I am wrong but I feel like there are 3-4 of them after the waterfall. Theyr'e rough, but if you're ready for them they're managable. CC is your friend.

As an arcane mage, what I do is blink when halfway across the water pool onto land where the skyhorn/ 110 mob is, and with a little speee gear on, have no problem aggroing one of the elietes, grabbing chest, and getting off dispersion, before it gets to me. I'd imagine other classes might have issues but even if I decide to kill it, it's not too difficult to be honest.

Its really stupid from Blizzard, i dont know why they put 110s in it
Sure i know its for a worldquest, but yesterday we farmed nl (2 shamans) we hadnt any problems to kill them but we often had 3 others lvl 100-101 non twinks in Group. If we hadnt gear a normal group would wipe on these stupid mobs so i dont know what blizzard was thinking about it^^

They are tied to a world quest. There are 5 in total. 2 on each side of the fork and 1 at the end. Kill all 5 and npcs will clear the rest of the area. So risk vs reward.

Yea, and this has been a thing since 7.0, as someone who has spent a lot of time in NL. There are multiple WQs that effect the dungeon when you go in solo, some beneficial, others not so much. For instance, there is one that gets rid of the patrol on the long stretch to a potential chest but adds a 110 bat by the cave. The chest can be reached without aggroing the bat though so it actually helps speed things up.
