Do not bother trying to engage this guy in melee. Blizzard did their usual fantastic job of "balancing" the Allied Races quests post-squish, and unless your ilevel is ludicrously high, this fugger will absolutely fold, spindle, and mutilate you in a matter of seconds. That Shadowcrash was hitting my level 55 Fury Warrior for close to 3500 a second. Did not take too many pulses of that garbage to send me allllllll the way down to the graveyard.

Just take cues from Shadowlands storytelling: stand way back and let the big-name NPC handle it.

Baine Bloodhoof can handle this fight on his own. So as any class start fight then disengage. All you have to do is dodge Shadow Crash and its EZPZ. Just make sure to do a few hits at like 5% to get credit.

Description

The Old Gods have inflicted one of their faceless ones upon Thunder Bluff. The fiend desecrates my people's city! We must fight together to rid this place of such filth. I believe that destroying this herald will drive our enemies from Mulgore. May our weapons strike true, {name}!

    Ebonhorn is in the care of Spiritwalker Graysky. A cure is proving elusive... he has asked for your help. Please speak with him at once, <name>. The spiritwalkers are the keepers of our past. I pray the answer lies somewhere in the ancient truths they hold.
