Bah! I'm a 52 warrior (just recently dinged, might I add) and I can solo these things effectively. You just have to have the right toys and the testicular fortitude to do it. Here's what I took with me:

Ikky Regen BP = regen
Enbalmers Skinning Knife = bandages
Bloodpoint = lifetap
Silken Whip of Ensnaring = snare
Frostbringer = AC Debuff
J-Boots = runspeed
Invis Potion(s)
Thurg Gate Potion(s)

There's a trick to soloing as a warrior that I've learned over time which saves you from a lot of grief. The single biggest problem with soloing as a melee class is getting adds when mobs run. If you can snare, and the mob starts running near an add, just stop attacking and sit (out of the adds aggro range, of course). When you're kill comes back for more after regen'ing a few HP's, you should also have a few regen'd yourself, and the fight will be a little easier. Be patient, and don't get too many adds, and you'll be fine. And remember, when all else fails, it's nice to have your toys to save your *** (like gate potions and clicky-stuff)

A 44 Mage using focused Earth CAN solo these, but I highly recommend against it. Wait til 49, your pets will be much more powerful by then and you won't burn mana as fast :)

im a 53 warrior i can multiplay my warrior with a paladin witha DW Helm, if I chain bucket heal with the helm do u think it would be good exp?

I, 53 Shammy an Terris Thule, was introduced to these guys half way through 53. After some experimentation I found the easiest way for me was to have myself buffed with Bear Form, SoW, HoS, and Regrowth. Pet just has HoS. Then I simply pull with Turgur's and let him hit me while I use my JBB. I rarely lose more than a half bubble of health and use about a half bubble of mana. When he turns to run, if there is another close, I'll root. If not, then just a couple more JBB shots does the trick. I can usually take about 6-8 before I decide to med. Using this technique has gotten me an average of 1 blue xp in about 60-70 min. I realize this only helps Shammies who spent a lot of pp on a JBB but it's just my 2cp for anyone interested.

These bad boys have a ton of hps, but I was able to finish one off by snaring, rooting, DOT, nuke, med, repeat. Took just about all my mana. Maybe around 5K hps. The problem is, where do you run to when you run out of mana?

I have read the post and they all seem to be necro/mage/wis/sham soloing thies things. I wanted to let you know that as a 51 cleric , am able to solo thiese things. I wrath (516 dd) root,med nuke med over and over. as he damages me iuse my donals arms to heal. It took 10 nukes to kill him so 5160 damage and a little over 5 min to do it, but it is possable to do as a non-soloing class. Just my 2cp but thought you would like to know we cleric are not pushovers.

Ok, I've seen several classes solo these guys, including Necro, Druid, Mage, and even Ranger.

So SF Isle is not just for Necros. I've killed these guys with my Necro in my late 40's. (Snare with 29th lvl Darkness, pull to AC Isle and Fear then let pet tank. After 49, use Bond and Pact, on one of the fingers of SF Isle) Oh, and I have tried to fear kite on SF Isle. It can be done, but it gets really ugly, unless the Isle is very crowded with other players. You are almost guaranteed an add or 2, because the damn things like to run to the middle of the Island. If you really want to risk it, try it on the east side of the Isle, it's easier there. NEVER on the West side, they head right into the middle right away.

As a druid, you can deal with these guys anytime after 45, if you have the Drones Bracer, or better still the root amulet. Total HP on these things seems to be just under 5k. After 49, a druid can quad these thing, but it's pretty damn hard, and you end up OOM, relying on your mana free items. Trust me, this is a fact. I used the Lum staff, Drones Bracer, and the Root amulet and dealt with 5 of them, (I got an add :)) and the fight lasted nearly 20 mins. I think I was 50 at the time. You don't really have the mana to quad them until after 55. I'm there now, actually at 57. I'll try a quad when I can get 4 of them. (It's busy there)
I can't speak for Mages, as I've never played one high enough to try SF's. But I know they can do it too, by parking near the Isle's edge and pulling to the pet. Then just beating them down where they stand.

As for rangers... You'd be surprised what a good ranger can do.

Oh, some pointers. Don't pull Quad (He drains mana), or the Tainted (He spawns corrupted when he dies) or the Corrupted (He's lvl 52, summons and hits for 150 or so)

Any questions? :)

How much exp doyou get per kill at 49?

Answer appreciated

I was here doing my focus item quest one day.
Gornit (named HG on SF clop island) drops all giant toes required for quest but he was camped so i asked the one who was campin it to save all toes, so she did.
Later I grouped with another 51 mage and we killed gornit and SFs. SFs were red to me at the time, i was 34 and to me looked like serious badasses. Compared to Gornit and o02ther HGs SFs are real badasses according to here they have 2k more HP than HGs. Mages can start soloing hgs at 44 unless you got someone to snare em u can do it at a lower lvl.
Anyway HTF can a mage at 44 solo a SF easy if they can just solo a hg? AQnd can a 49 fire pet rea0lly solo a SF?

I really0 want to know.
