(Strategy from TKA something)
Strengths:
Enrages every 15 seconds extremely increasing its DPS, to upwards 2000 damage per hit

Runs relatively fast, but slightly slower than Aspect of the Cheetah

After an enrage, all negative effects on him are purged (removed ) except Wing Clip

Weaknesses:
Scorpid Sting makes him deal 1 damage in melee combat (use the highest rank, nothing else)

Tranquilizing shot removes his frenzied state (but isn't necessary, as long as Scorpid Sting remains on)

Can be kited with Aspect of the Cheetah

Strategy: One strategy, the one I used initially, was just kiting him for a good long while with Serpent Sting and Concussion Shots. I used about 2 or 3 major mana potions, but was never in any risk of dying. Simply pull him up and left on the road toward the Altar of Storms where very few people ever go. Kite there, then before circling back, either Scatter Shot him or Concussion Shot and turn around and repeat that route over and over.
The next strategy is to shoot a Scorpid Sting on the demon and jump in to melee, remembering to keep him Wing Clipped at all times. Do not waste mana on Raptor Strike or Mongoose Bite. Try to time when the enrages are, then before you know he's going for it, Wing Clip him and run out. If you never have your back to him, you won't get dazed, so stay out of range waiting for him to enrage again. After the enrage, Tranquilizing Shot him to remove the enrage status and then Scorpid Sting him to lower his melee damage, and get back to beating on him in melee. The timing in this fight is what you have to get down. If you can learn to melee while his enrage timer is ticking away, you will do all the DPS output with your base weapons that is required. The important part is NOT being within range when he enrages. If you find yourself in melee with him when he enrages, you can use Scatter Shot to get out.

A variation on this strategy is to lay down a Frost Trap to initially slow down the demon and then Aimed Shot. Keep moving back until he enrages (turns red). When you see him turn red, hit him with Scorpid Sting (remember to use the highest rank). Once he calms down, run in and melee - but again, do not waste mana on Raptor Strike or Mongoose Bite. After about 3 melee hits (possibly a few more if you are dual wielding), use Rank 1 Wing Clip and strafe sideways from him. If you are faced opposite him, he has the chance to snare you. If Rank 1 Wing Clip isn't getting you far enough from the demon, you can use Rank 3, but in that case you'd want to bring Night's Dragon Breath and Major Mana Potions as well, and use them every time their timers are up. Keep running and use Rank 1 Arcane Shot to keep the demon aggro'ed until he enrages again, rinse and repeat.

Additional items to bring: Mongoose Potion, Demonslaying Potion

Suggestions:
Consider using a lower rank of Wing Clip to save on mana
If you use Scatter Shot while he is enraged, you need to wait until it wears off to re-apply Scorpid Sting (and you will need to remember that you will have less time in melee range because of this)
It is possible for your stings to miss, so plan accordingly

I have found that the best strategy goes as follows:

First off, the best weapon to use against this guy is the barbarous blade (with demonslaying enchant, preferably). Why this is the best one will be explained later. Basically what this guy does is heavy melee damage. However, his "Weakness" is that when you apply scorpid sting to him, it dramatically weakens his melee damage. However, every 15 seconds or so he will enrage, removing all debuffs. So the best way to do is to lay a freeze trap then pull him across it. Wait for him to enrage, so when you can start the cycle. Once he enrages, hit him with a scorpid sting and run into melee range. Swing THREE times with the barbarous blade (or if you dont have the barb., then jsut try to time it, but swinging 3 times with BB works best.) then wingclip and strafe to range. You should get to shooting range right as he enrages, so you can hit him with another scorpid sting, then run back in and melee him 3 more times, and just keep repeating this cycle.

Also, here are some very useful consumables:
Whipper root tubers (get them from felwood)
Night dragons breath (also from harvesting in felwood)
Major healing and mana potions (AH or alchemy)
Elixir of demonslaying (AH or alchemy)
Flask of the titans (Very expensive but very very helpful)
Also if you can, get a warlock to give you a healthstone.

Finally, it also helps to get someone to keep the drakes away from you as you dance back and forth meleeing and shooting, as even a single one can completely ruin your attempts.

Commento di 7232

As of the 2.0.1 patch , Scorpid Sting is not working correctly on this demon and is NOT removing his frenzied state. No ETA on a fix.)

Commento di 1718

While scorpid sting doesn't work, hunters can now lay traps in combat, which allows them to aimed shot/ice trap kite them all over the damn place.

Commento di 1718

I did this fight 100% solo, with no outside buffs in 2.0.1, and I have terrible gear (Hurricane bow).

Bring some mana potions, the fight lasted long enough for me to use a couple. Conserve your mana, and put rank 1 arcane shot on your bar to constantly tag the demon, and by that I mean whenever the cooldown is up.. I ran him up and down the road by the BRD ramp.

I used concussive shot/serpent sting to kite him down the road. You should know how long serpent sting lasts, use only one per trip down the road, more if you think you can risk it. As soon as it's worn off, drop an ice trap, let him stand in it, go to the other side, max range, and start again. If for whatever reason he breaks trap, you can use scatter shot, or use concussive shot to just keep kiting him in a circle until the cooldown finishes. I liked a straight down, straight back approach to avoid wandering mobs, but I suppose you could kite him all over the zone if you were careful.

Do not worry about his enrage, because he won't be touching you at all. When he gets low on life, you don't even need to use concussive shot to kite him, you can just shoot, back up, shoot, back up, shoot.

I did him in one try in horrible gear. It was the easiest demon for me. If you don't know how to kite, get someone else to do it for you, because no amount of potions or buffs will win you this fight if you can't kite properly. I promise you, it's not that complicated.

Commento di Thottbot

I watched a hunter do this guy, he is mighty impressive. A nine minute fight, has to be solo'd and can only be 'summoned' if you've gotten the quest item from Majordomo (Ancient Petrified Leaf).

Commento di Thottbot

all I know is I'm a 60th lvl warrior and saw him in draco dar in the burning steppes... tried to go around him and he aggro'd on me and did something called "fool's plight" it did 5405 dmg to me and killed me... think I'll go farther around him next time... :)

Commento di Thottbot

hes for a hunter quest for best bow in the game only hunters can fight him or he dose a move that usaly 1 hits u called fools plight

Commento di Thottbot

All the 4 demons seems to use the "Fools plight", which I believe is an AoE that hits for 4-5000dmg.
(The other 3 are located in Winterspring, Silithus and Un'Goro Crater.)

He hits for ~1000dmg when he is in rage. But you can calm him down by casting scorpid sting at him. And when you do so, he hits for 1dmg for 10-20 seconds something before he turns into rage again.

In that time you have to move in, hit him a couple of times (No abilities since it's a long fight and you'll want to keep your mana for wingclip and scorpid sting.) and then wingclip him and get out before he enrages again.

This doesn't do very much damage, and I'd say he got more hp then you want him to have. (That's the reason the fight takes like 10 minutes. You will have to repeat this procedure a lot of times.)

It's a very exhausting fight, and there's a great chance you will either stumble into some additional mob if you're not careful, or perhaps a player of the other faction comes and screws you over.

Last of all, the bow you get as reward isn't the best bow in game any longer. I believe the PvP bow is better. Altough, it's a great bow and it's probably worth the while fighting these demons.

Commento di Thottbot

Saw a horde hunter soloing him today.
After watching him a while I'd figure I'd give him (as an alliance mage) some help.
After I hit him he disappeared.

I guess the hunter was kind off pissed after that.

This is not BS. This guy just nailed me for a 32K hit.

=o(

I wanna see him die. Crazy ass street bum

Commento di Thottbot

Ugh, I've had this guy down to 2% three days ago when suddenly a horde hunter sent his pet in after the demon. He did it intentionally too considering he laughed and three of his buddies proceeded to kill me. Whatever happened to respect amongst hunters? =P

Commento di Thottbot

It dissappeared when all the little kids came.

Commento di Thottbot

Klinfran the Crazed's Fool's Plight hits you for 7758

i didn't even know i agro'd him until after i was dead.

Commento di Thottbot

i got my quest a couple weeks ago, so far i have killed simone and today i decided to try Klinfran. I got him down to about 25% of his health left, but then he dazed me and enraged, he then critted me for 3000, dazing me again. Hits me for 1500.

Commento di Thottbot

The strategy mentioned by Oxfettot is good.

A good location for this is the clearing in the hills in the far southwest of the Burning Steppes. You can clear out the few creatures there, then wait for Klinfran to wander in in human form. Have a friend or two clear out respawns and the occasional drake wandering into the area while you are fighting Klinfran. The area is big enough to get to range and kite him around a bit after the wing clip and while waiting for him to enrage.

this movie is geat, every hunter should see this:

Commento di Thottbot

Any1 wonders why this spell is calles Fools Plight?
No? Because you are fools who are trying to ruin a hunters fight....
Hunters have to do it ALONE! As the others posted above, no one can help the hunters in the fight. NO ONE! No one can heal the hunter no one can do damage on the demon not even the hunters PET!
You will become the fools plight when the hunter is trying to kill him and you move too close...

Commento di Thottbot

I was told no one could help. Then I was told that, if a fellow hunter comes and kills him and I don't engage, and he's in my group, I can loot the head. What's up?

Commento di Thottbot

This is probably the easiest of the demons if you ask me. Very simple:

Start the fight with a freezing trap down and aimed shot Klinfran. Go ahead and throw a multishot in there as well for a chance to get off a nice crit. Let him freeze from the trap and then (chug a greater or superior mana pot - not needed but doesn't hurt) get ready to aimed shot/multi shot again. A decent chunk of his life should be gone now.

Keep ranged until you see him enrage and turn red. Once he does this shoot him with a scorpid sting (make sure you didn't miss!) and watch as he goes from red to white (normal color) again. Once he's normal, run in and melee him. Like others before me said, hit him just a few times (about 2-3 hits with 2hd) then wingclip and run back out. No need to wait until he enrages again - start hitting him with ranged as soon as you're out of his melee radius. Once he becomes enraged scorpid sting again and run back in. Repeat until he's dead.

You shouldn't have to worry about additional mobs too much if you keep him in the far left corner of the map (where he paths through). I did see an elite lvl 57 dragon that was coming (sort of) close to me, but it was easy to move Klinfran a bit to avoid the mob.

Scatter shot is your friend in this fight if Klinfran is enraged and close to you. Scatter shot him and run back a bit then scorpid sting him. Don't be afraid to use concussion shot as well if your scatter shot is on cooldown. You should have plenty of time to bandage, but then again, you probably aren't doing the fight correctly if you need to bandage :p (he only hits for 1's when he's not enraged).

Goodluck!

Commento di Thottbot

they must have changed it with one of the new patches because
A. this guy is extremely fast now and can catch up with you very quickly
B. people say as long as the sting is applied he only hits you for 1, I had it applied and he was hitting me for like 400 so that got changed too

Commento di Thottbot

Fool's Plight does 10,000 physical damage. Happened to ride past him in battle stance with no shield, just BARELY did enough damage to one-shot me.

Now I ride around mining in defensive stance with a shield. Plight will hit for only 3,000 then.

Lame hunters. If you spawn him, at least KILL him, don't leave him there to gank everything and everyone.

Commento di Thottbot

Yeah not entirely a fair shot this.

And not always a fool. Call it 'lags plight'.

Died to these stupid demons twice now, riding around happily in Un'Goro or wherever looking for things to mine, or herbs to gather with my epic mount + all three speed enhancements, by the time you see this thing standing around its pretty much too late...

AOE *wham* dead. Not a chance.

Should be changed IMO, if the mob isn't in combat (i.e. being engaged by a hunter) when you ride past it, why the hell does it have to one-shot me?

Compare in contrast to "The Balance of Light and Shadow" which I recently did, third time, first two I failed because some Alliance seem to like to use that spot as a highway (or just grief me who knows), and voila one "The Cleaner" spawns. And then who gets to die? Yup, me the priest, not the person who screwed it up for me.

Sucks. Both ways of dying.

Commento di Thottbot

Got this guy a few days ago. And it's funny how people complain when hunters just leave the demons there without killing them.

Just because you're level 60 doesn't mean you can do anything, even if it's an zone such as the burning steppes.
The only one you have to blame is for your own recklessness. Once people hit level 60 they lower their guard and becomes as stupid as when they were level 10. And that "sickness" seems to continue for some even after a couple of weeks.

Anyhow, when I was about to make another attempt at this guy, a player from the opposing faction unmounted and attacked him, most likely with a mischevious expression on his face. That ugly face must've changed 2 seconds later when he arrived at the spirit healer.
Also, I don't know if he was stupid, or just couldn't ress further away from the demon, but in any way, he died once again.

Commento di Thottbot

Anyone figure it out yet? I set a GM a message about it and I got a message in my email saying that they can't give away hints... I guess that means they changed it...

Commento di Thottbot

After patch 2.0, scorpid sting doesn't remove the frenzy effect on this guy.

Commento di Thottbot

OK so i talked to a GM who wouldn't tell me strate out that they changed the effect. How ever i managed to ask enough questions to come to the answer i wanted. The change was ententional. Which means he has to have another weakness. If i find it ill post it for all us hunters. =D keep it real.

Commento di Thottbot

Last night while fighting him my priest friend accidentally healed me and he didn't despawn.

New weakness or bug?

Commento di Thottbot

Killed this guy on 12/11, helping a fellow guild member finish his quest. We tried a bunch of things, but what we eventually found that worked for us was:

1. Start at max range for bow/gun
2. Drop Freezing Trap
3. Pull Demon with Aimed Shot
4. Demon usually freezes in Ice Trap
5. repeat step 1

Sometimes the Demon would break freezing trap early. In this event:

1. Use Concussion shot to slow Demon
2. Use Rank 1 Arcane shot every few seconds to keep Demon aggro on you
3. Drop Freezing Trap when timer is up
4. Repeat Step 1 at top

Twice during the fight the Demon resisted Freezing Trap. If this happens to you, use the variation of the above when Demon breaks early.

However, when I respecced after the 2.xx patch I picked up Scatter Shot. Whenever the Demon resisted the Freezing Trap I would simply run towards the Demon and use Scatter Shot and keep running past it. I had to use the technique of when the Demon breaks early after Scatter Shot wore off, but the cooldown would eventually elapse and then I simply repeated the whole process again.

The place I kited the Demon was pretty much up and down the path right next to the ramp that leads up into Blackrock Mountain. Long road. Lots of kiting room, no roamers into the road.

I had 1 person stop and I asked them not to help (glad they were on Horde also) so they stayed and watched the entire show. I had others on alliance run by us a few times, nobody ever stopped to interfere though. Entire fight took maybe 7-8 minutes.

Commento di Thottbot

I had 3 Greater Mana potions on me at the time also, I used 2 of them during the fight. The potions that restore 700-900 mana.

I used the freezing traps to my advantage and for the most part it simply allows you to build up your mana through normal regen while you're waiting on the cooldown of the Freezing Traps

Commento di Thottbot

Klinfran the Crazed's Fool's Plight hits you for 25812.
You die.

Commento di Thottbot

another way to kill this demon without wing clip scorpid sting is to run with aspect of the cheetah on and hit him with rank 1 arcane shot (after patch 2.0 my arcane shot rank 1 does 200 damage) and concussive shot. Dont use any other shots. This will take a while so you should take him to the road and run the full lenght of burning steepps. Then u place a freeze trap (in combat, patch 2.0 lets u do that) and have him walk into it and get frozen. you run past him and contiune the other way. You probably wont need any potions for this but an int buff might help you. This takes longer thant the other stratigy but it has a less chance to fail and doesnt cost as much

Commento di Thottbot

Just killed em on my alt hunter, was much easier than expected.

After I realized the old taccs with scorpid sting didnt work I just kited him. Ever so often I did a Scattershot or a Freezing Trap and threw of an Aimed shot.

I find it easier to just strafe while kiting stuff, instead of the classic jump n' turn.

I had no other buffs than Trueshot Aura and aspect of the cheetah and I used 3 Major mana pots (could have used another one but hey, worked out nicely anyway :P)

and FYI,
I suck at kiting..

Commento di Thottbot

this would be so easy if it werent for horde had him down to 20% getting him down steadily with tons of mana left rogue comes up cheap shotted him
so he got camped a bit then he got friends making it impossible went to ungoro i didnt have the pots to defeat simone go back to burning steppes and an epicced out druid tries to camp me bloody crazy quest

Commento di Thottbot

This guy was by far the easiest of the demons. I did this a couple days ago and the only pots i needs was 1 mana pot. I pretty much kept him in freezing traps the whole time, freeze him, wait for most of the cooldown on the trap, aimed shot arcane trap, so easy.

Commento di Thottbot

I beat Klinfran today, a few hours after patch 2.0.3. I'll tell you what I did, how I beat him, and the odd things i noticed.

I kited him with rank 8 Arcane Shot all the way to Dreadmaul Rock where i put a scatter shot on him and ran back the other way. I fired arcane shot everytime it was up, and when I saw the scatter shot turn from red to white, I knew he was getting close so I scattered him to put some distance. Sometimes this put too much distance so I would try to scatter when half of my Arcane shot timer was up so I could arcane almost immedialtly thereafter. Every shot was a jumpshot. He kept missing the traps on my first few attempts to turn him around so I didnt bother.

I used Aspect of the cheetah. I didnt use any stings or open with aimed shot because it has a lower damage/mana ratio. His frenzy state removes all stings and hunters mark, so they weren't worth the mana or effort.

The buffs I used were a Mongoose Elixer, Demonslaying Elixer, scroll of spirit 4 scroll of intellect 4 and a 8mp5 mana oil. I was wearing my normal gear (dungeon blues, pvp boots, BS gloves and bracers, Zulian Ston axe with 25 agi and Fahrads Reloading.)

I used major mana potions when I was at half mana, and i think I used 2 and had mana to spare.

Scorpid sting debuff is still bugged, don't bother with it. I never tranq shotted him either, though that does remove his frenzy state.

What I noticed strange was that when he reaches around 10% he slows down to a crawl. I had to shoot him, run away, but I would lose range so I had to stop and arcane/auto him once before moving again. At 10% I probably could have kited him backwards but didnt want to risk it.

I was specced full marks with increased range and TSA, improved crits, improved concussive, etc.

My tooltip RAP was around 1100 with all buffs, not including the demonslaying which wouldn't show.

Forget the old strategy of meleeing him.

I am one happy Hunter
Slashignoreu
Mannoroth Horde

(btw Stave of the Ancients is now listed as a Group quest instead of elite. Have fun grouping for this)

Edit: DONT try to kite him either into Redridge or up the ramp to Blackrock Mountain. I tried to take him to Redridge and he evaded out as soon as I crossed the first small bridge in Blackrock Pass. I suspect the same thing would happen on the stairs of his zone. He's tethered to Burning steppes

Commento di Thottbot

I remember another hunter and i were taking turns trying to take this guy down... when we were rethinking strategies, a warrior came by and stared at him for like 5 seconds... then charged at him.

We laughed so hard when Klinfran one-shot him with an AoE before he could even get within melee range :)

Commento di Allakhazam

And it blows when people run by you while you have the f%#&ker at 12% hp and despawn him.

Commento di Allakhazam

how the hell do i kill him?
i am a hunter but if is sent my pet at it its being instantly killed and he hits me so damn hard. can anyone tell me how?

Commento di Allakhazam

If you see someone fighting this, Or any other lvl 60 demons. If you see a hunter fighting a level 60Elite in: Silithus, Un'goro, Burning Steppes, Winterspring, Then do not at any time help him (Buff him attack the demon).

Thanks

Commento di Allakhazam

so can only hunters kill him?and why does he go from friendly to crazed?

SO MANY QUESTIONS!

Commento di Allakhazam

Yeah saw my friend kill him. Here's what he did: He cleared the way out of Burning steppes to lakeshire, put on Aspect of the cheetah and kited him. He used Serpent Sting while also shooting out some arcane shots. Soon enough he was able to kill him.

I just killed this demon on my hunter (Keltarrant, server Ursin)
I scorpid stinged him and he hit me for about 1.2k
You have to ice trap kite him since you can ice trap in combat now, it was very simple, just kited him on the road up to the altar of storms and scatter shot him when you need to turn around.

Commento di Allakhazam

YES. Scorpid sting does not work. Do not try it.

I unmasked the demon in the crater that's approx 22,63 map location. I concussive shotted him, arcane shotted him, turned on Cheetah and booked it down the path heading East. I used nothing but Arcane Shot max rank every time it was up, and used 2 mana pots. No traps, no Conc. shot (except for that first one), nothing else but Arcane. I kited him down the path across the entire zone, heading towards Redridge.

Although I didn't have it, I recommend Arcane Brilliance and/or Blessing of Wisdom, as my mana was almost not enough at 3200, even with the pots.

I also recommend doing this demon BEFORE Winterspring demon, as it is excellent kiting practice.

Commento di Allakhazam

Day 1: Been looking for this guy for almost a hour! were the hell is he!

A fun little note on the name, pig-Latin for Franklin, his original name. P: Kick ass.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is absolutly rediculous. It is on par with quests in Everquest not those in WOW. You are sitting camping a mob, then as a hunter you must solo something that isn't designed to be solo'd by a good hunter, its designed for someone who plays Sonic, Mario Brothers or any other platform game. I will get this done, but at this point as I start to get ready for BWL I don't find the reward equaling any of the effort put into it. In addition to the mobs that must be solo'd without our pets we get a vine to shoot with and a staff that looks like I looted it in the starting area around Darnasus!

Slightly frustrated with this quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

This is insane. How is it done?

Commento di Piefayth

Thought I'd detail my approach, went very cleanly once I got it down.

Only consumable was Major Mana Potions.

1. Hunters Mark, Frost Trap
2. Aimed Shot, Multi-Shot
3. Kite through trap until first enrage
4. Scorpid Sting immediately when enrage starts
5. Rather than wing clipping immediately, remain in melee range until SS is at 12 seconds remaining. Enrage has a minimum cooldown, and will not be recast in this period.
6. Wing clip
7. Get as much distance as you can, autoing as often as you can
8. Enrage should happen at most a second or two after wing clip ends. Keep within ranged attack distance until it goes off. Repeat from step 4.

Addendum: Scatter Shot if you get dazed, but it's more productive to avoid keeping your back to him in the first place.

Good luck.

~CLASSIC WOW STRAT~

Name: Klinfran the Crazed
Location: Burning Steppes
Spawn: 26, 66ish
Path: He paths from his spawn point North North East and gets on the road around 29, 52 where he turns west and goes all the way up to the altar.
Consumables: None - Demonslaying Elixir & Mana Potion are a bonus to help increase the dps
Buffs: Aspect of the Hawk

Strat: This was the easiest of the 4 demons, but doesn't necessarily mean it won't take you a few tries. Your going to want to pop him into demon form on the road around 25, 50. Just south of the road is a giant root that comes up out of the ground, this will be his grave.. I'm going to explain this as simply as possible to get my point across. The root has two sides, the larger end which is coming up from the ground (base), and the other side which ends with the tip of the root, which is only a little bit off the ground, enough so that you can jump on to it.. The only piece of this root that is touching the ground is at the one side where it is coming up from. So, the best way to start this fight is to lay a freeze trap down near the where the root is coming up out of the ground. Open up on the demon (don't serpent sting him) and get him frozen in the trap. Then run over to the tip and jump on it. Break the trap, or I guess let it expire, and he will come up the root from the far side and run down to you. Before he gets to you jump off and he will turn around and run back across the root back to the ground. You will then want to jump back on the root so he turns around and goes back to the base of the root and runs down it towards you again. That's the fight. Just jump on and off the end of the root hitting him while he runs around. I will leave you with a couple of things I learned the hard way;

1) Do not wait until the last second to jump off the root, he has a large melee range and can hit you while you're jumping or if you are still right next to the root.
2) I recommend jumping back on the root once he has taken a few steps on the ground. There were a couple occasions where I waited a little while and rather than turn back around he just came and hit me on the branch.
3) The very end of the branch was a little sensitive when it came to him not pathing back to the base. I would try and stand around the part where it curves up towards the end of it.

It takes a few tries to see how the mechanics play out, don't get discouraged!

Hope this helps!

Found this to be a very easy kill after dying twice. :D

Once while figuring out the enrage mechanics, and once because I pulled additional mobs.

I had a Demonslayer sword in my bank that I used for the +AP to demons. I gave it the Demonslaying enchants for luls (mostly because it was cheap), and found that the stun is a massive help on this guy.

I would kite him towards the Altar of Storms, and then, as you get to 15, 38 there is a plateau to the west that you can kite him up to. I did that because people kept interfering. Scout the place before you engage him, so you know where it is and its limited size.

Opened with Freezing trap for Aimed+Multi twice, then kited him west with cheetah, serpent sting, and rank 1 arcane shot. When I got him up there, I used Scorpid Sting nearby* (before going up to the plateau), and then I started timing it so I would run into melee range right after enrage-Scorpid Sting, swing at him 3 times, then wing clip and run sideways out (so he doesn't hit you in the back and potentially daze you). As you get enough range, stop to fire an auto shot, and move some more.

Sometimes there's time for a 2nd auto shot before he enrages again. When you SS him and run into melee, start walking him backwards (sideways if you need to move him far) to one of the mountain sides, so you have space to run after wing clip.

I used elixir of int and agility, nothing else pre-fight since I was still just trying to get a feel for his difficulty, so I cheaped out. :P In fight I used a single major mana pot halfway through. You could have a Rejuv pot on hand, in case you need the healing as well, but it shouldn't really be necessary. Actually, maybe a demonic rune and a rejuv pot. I should have thought of that sooner.

* Used SS nearby since his enrage appears to happen on a cooldown, not a timer since enrage was removed. Thus, SS him to remove the enrage, and then watch for him to enrage again, so you can start timing it.

I completed this quest like a month ago, but I would like to share what I did
- I tried the whole melee thing and died 2 or 3 times, I often missed my Wing clip since I do not have the max skill in melee weapons (around 285) and this was no go for me.
- I found a different solution on youtube which is really very easy -> try to search for a video where the tree is used and follow the mechanics
- With this solution you won't need anything - no potions, nothing
- I recommend to try to jump on a off the tree prior to pulling this demon
- Then pull with freezing trap, jump to the tree and wait for the trap to disappear
- I also recommend to hold scorpid sting on him all to time, in case he would get to you and hit you, it will hurt much much less

Good luck!

So, I haven't been able to kill him because I can't dispel his killing frenzy... Scorpid Sting all I want and he stays frenzied. Am I missing something here?

I went in blind and just killed him with no tricks whatsoever. Concussive, Scatter, run along the road to Morgan's Vigil and back. Even forgot to open with a trap...

Scorpid Sting-Wing Clip and/or fancy kiting don't seem worth it.
