Blackscale Raider - Son and Scandal

Execute your third and final assassinations in the name of Blackscale:

• Assassination #3 - Matru Fleetfoot - Found in Underhill. Matru is a sprinter and an Olympic swimmer. He does 2-3 laps around all of Underhill including watery areas and then despawns for about 5 minutes, probably to catch his breath. Then he starts over. The trick is killing him before he despawns. You're gonna want a friend or two to help you because Matru won't stop running for little things like being attacked. He's got decently high resists so try to debuff him, then snare him to get him to a manageable speed (he's immune to root) and blast him for all you're worth. He WILL despawn if you're not fast enough so drop everything you've got on him. Make the damn gnome explode and bring his head back to Raider Thorgash.
  
  • The respawn timer after he despawns is 10 minutes
  • Matru Fleetfoot spawns in the tower at location: 970, -55 (took a while to find)
  • Best strategy I found (thanks to Druue's loc of Matru spawn point) is if you're a rogue and you have lethal strike AA, just wait until Matru despawns, go to his loc (970, -55 in the tower) and wait the 10 minutes. Pop your lethal strike AA a couple seconds before the 10 minute mark, and nail him once he spawns. He doesn't immediately take off, so you have a chance to line up & hit him. I found this easier than chasing him around or trying to snare him, etc.
