Jadefire Tricksters can cast the charm spell "Cause Insanity" on you: "Charmed. Attack speed increased by 50%. Movement speed increased by 80%."
It lasts several seconds, and *will* blow your cooldowns.

This mob is currently (13-10-2007, patch 2.2.3) bugged. Once the "Cause Insanity" spell has been cast on you, the Trickster will act as if it is out of combat. That means it will return to its original position and regenerate to 100% hp and mana. It works the same way if you are fighting a larger group of mobs and get this effect cast on you; they will all reset. Worse though, is that you sometimes start running around when under the influence of the spell - this can cause you to aggro other mobs as the spell lifts from you. I questioned a GM about it, and s/he said that Blizzard were "aware of the problem" and that I should "ignore this problem in the meantime".

Luckily, "Cause Insanity" isn't cast that often. From all the kills I made, I only got it cast on me 3-4 times. You can still easily complete the quests these mobs are linked to, as it shouldn't cause you too much problems. It is, however, a good idea to be a bit careful as the corpse run back will be quite long.

Probably the most awesome thing that this bug has caused for me is when I was attempting to kill Xavaric, his two Trickster adds would constantly mind control me (a Warlock). While MC'd my dots eventually killed him... but I didn't get credit for the kill.

I also managed to cast a Soulfire and blow Perception during all of this. Very annoying.

It seems the max range for the trickster's spells is 30 yards. That means you can stand at max range as a hunter and not get hit by neither curses nor Cause Insanity.

I tried this on several of them, and wasn't hit by anything.

Funniest looking thing ever, you lean forward about 90 degrees as you charge all over (at least on a draenei). Shame there were no huge iron doors to ram with my head.

Using entangling roots on these guys is a bad idea; they will immediately retaliate with cause insanity.

The map shows there's a few spawn points in Jaedanar. Don't bother. There are a couple Jadefire types guarding Prince Xavalis near the beginning of the cave complex once you get down the first spiral tunnel. I checked out the entire rest of the tunnel complex and did not come across another Jadefire all the way down to Lord Banehollow (lvl 59 elite).

As a hunter with a lowish level pet a the time, it was quite hair raising to be hit by a charm type effect and start attacking my pet.
Hit them hard fast, and be ready with Intimidation.
