To make this go even faster, do the following:

1. Go as close to the edge as you can
2. use a long range attack/something that causes aggro (40 range-ish) and aim at the mobs flying in from the other side of the valley
3. profit*

The mobs will - if you are lucky - plummet into the valley below

Description

All of my men are down at Farwatch Overlook to the southwest, holding off mantid that are trying to fly across the chasm. As long as my marksmen have arrows, they'll ground any mantid that clear the chasm. If you're here to help, I could use some more men clearing the mantid out once they're on the ground. Are you willing, {class}?

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
