Up In Flames

Up In Flames is a quest for level 25-35 in Townlong Steppes. It is step 43 of 60 in the Townlong Steppes storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Townlong Steppes at 61.6, 79.3. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

The mantid coming across the bridge have thick carapaces that shrug off most of our attacks. They have a weakness though: fire.

Lao-Chen's men brought kegs to the battlefield for exactly this purpose. Kick the kegs into groups of mantid, and Lao-Chin's archers will light them up.

They should be easy to finish off from there.

Ok, a few things about this *exasperating* quest:
1. The mobs have a buff called timberhusk that decreases damage taken by 80%
2. Line up a keg such that the mob is directly on the other side of the keg and trigger it...it should roll to the mob and apply the 'keg bomb' debuff that makes them flammable.
3. The guys on the ridges are firing flaming arrows after something gets keg bombed, but it DOES NOT always hit the mob directly...sometimes the fire hits off to the side...so you have to pull the mob into the fire to ignite them and remove the timberhusk buff.
4. NOTE that the fire debuff lasts for around 4 seconds and then they get the timberhusk buff back.

The idea for this quest is to pull a pack of mobs and click the Keg Bombs while facing them, so their buff will be removed. Though you can dispell their buff. So it's easier if you do that.
If you're playing priest you can use [spell=528], [spell=370] if you're Shammy, [spell=19801] for hunters and last but not least Shield Slam for Warriors.
