One of the hardest rares I was able to find in Draenor, and almost impossible to solo to most classes and specs. So far only successfully soloed as a Blood DK, and as a brewmaster monk (barely)

He's a Protection Warrior and part of a triumvirate of mobs known as the Sargerei War Council, his two companions are Soulbinder Naylana (Shadowpriest) and Archmage Tekar (Arcane Mage)

The three walk together in a circular patrol route in the Shattari Commons, are are always pulled together. If you manage to kill one or two of them but then die, the ones you killed revive instantly. All 3 must die in order to get any loot from them.

This is the least dangerous of the whole bunch and usually the one you'll kill last. He charges you, has a frontal cleave attack, and not much else.

When you pull these guys be sure to burst down the Shadow Priest as quickly as possible, her mind blasts are absolutely devastating, and will quickly kill you in a matter of seconds, save your interrupts and CCs for her. She can also heal herself to full with Void Mend so save your interrupts for it. Once she's dead, take care of the Archmage. The mage will cast arcane missiles (Which must be interrupted) will swarm the area with Arcane mines (which detonate after a while) and assault you with Arcane Blast (Not interruptible).

When dealing with the mage, interrupt her arcane missiles, avoid her arcane mines, and brace yourself for her arcane blast.

If you manage to survive all 2 of these, the warrior is a simple job, strafe to the side when he does his cleaving attack and don't attempt to kite him, his charge has no cooldown, and deals significant damage.

Good luck.

For what its worth, all they drop is an Intellect Cloak, and about 40 Apexis Crystals. Hardly worth it considering how insanely hard they are.(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Rankkor##DELIM##

These are not as hard to solo as it may initially appear. I solo'd them as an Arcane Mage, and any class with in-combat refreshable CC such as Polymorph should be able to kill them by doing the following steps:

1- They patrol in a circle, so prior to them arriving at some of the houses, clear all regular mobs from the area to make sure they don't interfere in the fight. Any of the two house areas will do, just don't try this on the road where the elite demons patrol, as the other patrols may complicate the fight.

2- Once you cleared an area, wait for the 3 rares to walk through it - do not aggro them yet - and CC the Shadowpriest (Soulbinder Naylana). For example I used Polymorph as a Mage.

3- Keep refreshing the CC until the other two rares have walked off a reasonable distance, this distance depends on how fast you can kill the Shadowpriest so it may vary per class and gear. Use all DPS cooldowns and kill the Shadowpriest before the other two rares reach you, who will aggro on you once you begin to attack the Shadowpriest.

4- When you killed the Shadowpriest, CC the Warrior (Strategist Ankor), then proceed to kill the Mage (Archmage Tekar). Once the Mage is killed, simple kill the Warrior last, and you will have successfully killed all three. Remember to interrupt any spell casts and be sure to use your garrison ability (guardian orb is especially useful).

Note: When you killed all three you will see resurrection animations but don't panic, it's a kill.

Fairly simple as a rogue

Sap the priest and wait for the other 2 to pat away

Open up on priest with cooldowns

Use defensives while you're killing the mage or just cc the warrior with blind.

Once the warrior is left recup is enough to keep you alive.

This was a total nightmare for me. I was on my fresh 100 Shaman, trying to gear up for Heroic dungeons. I was only 605, but luckily I had my Artillery Strike to help me.

First, I used my Earthgrab Totem and Totemic Projection to loot all three of them in place without pulling them. I then used Hex on Soulbinder Naylana in order to subside the insane damage of her Mind Spike.

Next, I threw and Lava Burst on Strategist Ankor (the warrior) in order to break his Earthgrab Totem root. As he ran over to me, I threw down three Artillery Strike right on top of him. Before long, he quickly died and I made sure to burst down Archmagus Tekar.

Finally, I killed Strategist Ankor using a lot of heals and interrupts!

Be careful of patrolling mobs around you, and don't be afraid to use spells like Heroism, Time Warp, and Bloodlust. You can also use Drums of Rage to receive this amazing buff!

Good luck and may the Spirit of the Wild be with you :D

~~Does not correctly spawn as of 7.0.3.~~

Edit: It seems their spawn has been fixed in 7.2! I saw them wandering around today and killed them. Didn't get their drop though, grumble grumble :)
