TheWoWDBThis quest is NOT fun at all as a melee class, and especially a fast hitting one as a rogue.
Every time you hit them you get 39 damage from their thorns thing, and.. it may not seem like much, but it adds up.
I had to heal after every mob, but I kept doing it, cos I wanted the rep and the xp.

adding to the post about the thorns, using abilities like expose armor make it a lot easier, any armor reduction ability would work.

Description
We've been fighting an ongoing battle to keep the pass through Thornfang Hill to the west clear of ravagers. It would be bad if we were to become completely cut off from the refuge in Zangarmarsh. We don't want to displace the creatures, but there seems to be little choice as their attacks on travelers through the area have become more aggressive. Clear some of the ravagers out of there if you can.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Testing the Antidote
I think there's something we can use in the blood as the base of an antidote. Don't look at me like I've lost my mind! It's a common theme in nature. Often, the cure for something can be derived from the toxin itself. That's just what I aim to do.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Colossal Menace
You see that huge red crystal to the north? It fell from the sky not long ago, causing a massive earthquake. When we came out here to investigate the disturbance, we found all of these colossi wandering about that weren't previously here.
