Watch out for the Aimed Shot, especially when fighting two or more. If you die before looting one of these mobs, they will despawn before you have a chance to pick whatever loot you gathered up.

Druids, I kill these guys just south of Dragonmaw Fortress and I found that if you entangle them as they fly by, they'll stay in the air and can't attack. Then you can nuke them all you want. Be ready to entangle again if your first disappears though. As long as you keep them in the air, you're perfectly safe from harm.

And if you accidently kill the transporter while it's still in the air, just shift into flight form and you can loot him.

The rogue(s) who pickpocked them is definitely a good one :D
(Or he's doing that while they're fighting another player)

Paladins are totally screwed on this unless they have holy shock or avengers shield... damn im glad i aint retribution build anymore

Edit: also ive found that if ya manage to stand RIGHT below where they are landing and dont move... they cant land properly and will stay stuck in the air just above you and unable to attack... but they can take damamge and be killed :)

atm these guys are bugged for me (feral druid). i use my maim on them and it doesnt incapacitate them. any other druids having the same problem?

Comment by mindphlux

Immune to fear, so priests, until you are prepared, better not fight two at the same time.

Comment by nafanjs

Pretty sure the drop rate on all items off these guys has been nerfed, i remember getting alot of greens and expensive grey items off these guys everytime i did the quest. If not maybe i've just been unlucky since i started doing these dailies again D:

Comment by Apotheosis

As of Patch 2.4, the transporters no longer dismount.

Instead, they will just fly down to you, and hover a few feet in the air and shoot you. They're still reachable with melee attacks, but it changes kiting a little bit with them.

If you notice that they bug right above you, try running from them in one direction, and they will usually give chase and descend towards you.

Comment by raymix

you are totally not right that Ret paladins are screwed. On a floating stone 72.74 on a corner Transporters are have their waypoints set so belof the surface that you can hit it with a weapon, or cast a judgement on them. After you kill them, the respawn rate is barelly 5 seconds, not even enough to get your mana full. I collected all 10 relics in few minutes as a Holy without using holy Shock at all.

Ill post a screenshot

Well i find killing these guys most annoying thing in the game, even as a hunter.
1. If you just shoot at him, and he shoot at you, he'll start evading attacks but continue to attack u;
2. He will also heal himself to full hp while shooting and evading (God-mode on?)
3. You have to run around like an idiot taking all his arrows, serpent stings and aimed for 2k dmg (!!!), hoping that he'll be nice enough to land on a rock.
4. If he lands at last you still can't be sure whatever he'll start evading and healing self or die at last.

Have fun.

Btw. There's something wrong with informations about his Aimed Shot in Abilities. Says that it increases damage by 1,5k (WTB THAT!), while his normal attacks hit for about 200 and aimed for 2k on me.
200 + 1500 = 2000 ?????? And where's reduction from my armor?

Ret paladins are by no means totally screwed-- even though they're immune, repentance will pull these guys. A Blood Elf can also use mana tap to pull these. To aid in a rotation with repentance, there are also a number of trinkets with a ranged ability from 20 yds to 45 yds. Here's what I've found scanning the list of trinkets:

Linken's Boomerang (30 yds)
Goblin Rocket Launcher (45 yds)
Gnomish Death Ray (20 yds)
Gnomish Shrink Ray (30 yds)
Smolderweb's Eye (30 yds)
Six Demon Bag (30 yds)

BTW .... they drops not only quest items and cloth... as WoWhead says there are a lot of "gray" and "green" items , but for my surprise they drops also "blue" Crystal Pulse Shield. Beware!

Comment by Thottbot

These guys hit for about 2-3k after a certain amount of time. So kill em QUICK!

Comment by Thottbot

They are found on the small islands between Shadowmoon Valley and Netherwing ledge, be careful they aimshot and cast serpent sting,

Locations: 71,76 74,76

Comment by Thottbot

These guys are a cinch if you know where to stand.

I use the island at 73,76. If you stand about ten feet from the upper edge (it's slanted) and ranged pull them as they fly over from the east, they land on your head and can't hit you. Some will fall off, but for the most part they just look around while you kill them.

Fire dmg knocks them back off of my head, but everything else seems to just make them die.

Comment by Thottbot

this mobs are bugged for me i pull them and they dont land after i down them to 75 % they regen and evade and after the same so i cant kill them at 1 transporter i die 3 times ... any1 know why?

Comment by Thottbot

Spent 15 mins and have 2 relics so far. Sure it's a 100% droprate but you need to luck out and kill one that doesn't evade more than half the damage you deal.

Comment by Allakhazam

This mob dropped Kamaei's cerulean Skirt as of 2.1.1

Comment by Allakhazam

After patch 2.1.2, these things are immune to Fear and Terror (The fear aspect of Death Coil).
