If you have a pet make sure it's on passive before you attack the Crystal! Credit goes to oedura, I just put it as a reply to the first comment so those searching by date will see it.

The closing text of this quest says she looks at her succubus. I see no succubus. Am I blind, or did they miss this in the NPC-building?
You don't get the "kill" if you kill it with your pet. Atleast not with your Felguard.

Description
Look at the button on the side of the controller here. I bet if you got close enough to one of those scourging crystals, you could use the controller to bring its shield down. Then it would simply be a matter of destroying the thing before its shield goes back up. Brave enough to hazard another trip down there, {name}? I can guarantee a nice reward for you if you can bring down those shields and destroy the crystals. How can you refuse if it means less Scourge, especially ones made from murlocs?
