Gave paper and quil to Chrislin Baker and spawned him. had 5 peeps to take him out, hasted them and gave them werewolf form to take him down, two tanks attacked him and seemed to have problems killing him so I decided to nuke him, when I did he started to chase after me pounding me to the ground, cleric kept on healing me so the Thrackin got ticked off and ran after the cleric and killed her, then he resummed chasing after me until I died. I did die but my two tanks managed to kill the psycho. I came back and looted the paper.
This guys is pretty much a joke for any 65 SK. I completly soloed him not even bothering to waste my Harm Touch on him. I got Fully raid buffed but was not needed as I was able to lifetap him and my HP never dropped under about 80%. After getting him to 70% pretty fast I dragged him all the way to the cabin where where my enchanter logged out in the cabin where you turn in the note so I would not have far to run to loot it..... though he did summon me about 30 times haha. Damage output pretty low about 150 max a hit. So Find a bored 65 SK if ya want this quick.
I was helping a chanter friend with his epic. My Mage waitied at the spawn spot and summoned the lvl 61 Air Pet. I buffed him with Burnout V, and Flameshield of Ro and gave him some pet toys. I had a cleric put a Virtue on him and keep him healed during the fight. The Air Pet, with the cleric healing him, was able to solo Thrackin easily. I threw in a spell or 2, but it wasn't necessary. There is no aggro generated from healing pets whatsoever. The pet was summoned over and over, but that was no issue.
if u are a say 65 necro passing by and u con this dude like lighblue dont try to kill him for the xp because some chanter is prolly trying to achieve there jeb's seal to talk to that dumb sarnak/jeb lumsed in burning woods. he has to be spawned and im almost positive that he is only spawned by doing the miniquest with Chrislin Baker. so all u 65's be warned that u might get a big compliant by some enchanter 1 day after killing this guy for fun
With a 58 bard 59 war 65 druid ( Healer ) 56 Ranger and a 65 Enchanter that needed the white paper this Ncp was an easy kill. He is totally magic resistant and what i found was when we got him down to 20 percent HP he ported away and was no longer on tracking. The 65 enchanter casted Bind site and here we are to find he ported to the qeynos hills zone line. The Bard Played his Speed song and we rushed over to him, he was walking in to the zone line when we found him so we hurryed over to him and killed him. I dont know if he does this offen but i would recommed you have a mage that can summon you to the zone line just incase he does this to you.
I've tried to solo him a few times, but I just can't get it to work. He has too much HP/regen and the pet doesn't have enough. I tried to DC the gnecro Oobnopterbevny Biddilets; she got owned in a few rounds by Thrackin and did virtually no damage. I tried to charm Tarnic McWillows with CoD; it said he was too high of level to be charmed, yet CoD is supposed to charm things up to 64, I'm 64, and Tarnic cons blue. Go figure. It turns out he hits for 1016 and I found out the hard way.
So I resorted to trying the pet. At 64 with tash on Thrackin, I slowed him twice, no resists, mezzed him three times with Sleep and Dazzle, no resists, used Memory Flux on him three times, it erased my aggro twice, and finally casted Strangle on him once and it was resisted, although I casted it on him one other time at 62 and he did not resist that time. So it's quite easy to slow him if you're high enough. That's when I decided to gate because he was at 90 and my pet was at 60. Granted I didn't do any damage, but with his summoning I can't afford to get aggro, although it was possible for me to tank him slowed by repeatedly casting Arcane Rune, obviously not a good way to tank because you'll run out of mana quick. I basically had to chain cast Uproar on the pet to keep it alive. If anyone has found an uber DC mob in WK or has another bright idea for soloing, please post the info.
I have also solo'd him, just did it in fact at level 62 with very few aa's. Using the level 62 pet hasted, I engaged with rapture and kept casting slow on him til it landed. Then tanked using arcane rune while the pet and I, using my trusty dagger, slowly whittled away at his hp's. After 3 and a half minutes went by I hit him with another rapture and reslowed. When he was at 50% health I was running out of mana so I mezzed him again and with kei, slowly regained all of my mana throwing on a dazzle every now and then. Took a LONG time, the entire fight took about 45 minutes, from the turn in, to looting the white paper. Didn't notice any regen, none at all in fact as long as I kept aggro by tashing him right after a mez stuck.
Yes, I have finally soloed Thrackin Griften! Thrackin is an epic mob with high regen, so I decided to fight fire with fire and DC another epic mob with high regen, Vilnius the Small. I wasn't sure if he would have quite high enough regen, but indeed, hasted Vilnius could have killed a slowed Thrackin alone, but I did throw on some DoTs and do some nuking to expedite the process. At the end of the fight Vilnius had about 75% of his hitpoints left, which he quickly regenerated in a few ticks. I did get more resists this time, so I'm not sure whether I was just lucky the last time or whether Thrackin's MR is variable. Unfortunately there's nothing else worth killing in this entire zone, but it's another part of the epic down.
Just took him down with a 56 SK, 59 Epic Mage, 53 Cleric, 52 Wiz, and 49 Wiz, oh, and me, 51 enc. Tash landed no problem, but it took about 10 casts of slow to get it to stick. Was a pretty easy fight, Cleric only CH'ed the sk about 3 times I think.
i handed in my quill and paper and proceeded over to the loc where he was supposed to spawn.
i had a 60 war, 55 monk, 53 cleric and myself a 51 enc.
monk ran ahead of us and grabbed him pulled him back to us. while the war and monk started beating on him, i tashed him once. he resisted everything waited til he was 60% health and tashed him again stopped resisting. so while the war and monk beat on him, i nuked. took us all of about 5 min to kill him. wasn't that hard at all. long as you have a couple of melees and a good cleric it's easy. =)

Cleric and Enchanter stayed at FM the entire fight, tash'ed and slowed easily. Has about 20k hp's. Fight took 10 minutes, which may seem a little long, but very easily done nonetheless.
My guildmates and I defeated Thracken Griften last night. We took 8 people, and it was not too difficult. Our main tank was only a level 52 Paladin, so don't worry too much about bringing and uber-tank. Just get him buffed up really well and have good healing available.
We had:
52 PAL 52 ROG (with epic) 51 ROG 55 BST
55 CLR 54 ENC (me) 56 DRU 55 MAG
Even after tashing, Thracken was very highly resistant to magic. We had 3 of us chain-casting slow on him through the first half of the fight, and no one ever got it to stick. Then we switched to nukes. I don't know how the others did, but the two nukes I landed were for less than 100 points each.
I think that what is written in this thread is still true: This is an enemy for whom the caster's role is to buff and heal the melees, then sit back and let them do their work.
Rapture and GoK both stick on him without Tash. After I casted GoK (used Rapture first to see) I Tashed, slowed, crippled, broke mes and we killed him insanely fast. :)
Also, anyone can turn in the parchment and quill, even if you are dubious. Cause I had my druid do that and then switched back to my enchanter.
He basically spawns right by his bandit friends. If you zone from NK, basically go up the hills twords the wall on your right. Had my friends wait at a tree there.
Heck.. 55+ Enchanter could probably solo this guy with a pet..
I think he only hits for 150ish also. Hope this helps some.
63 mage with 61 air pet, 62 cleric, 57 chanter Typical buffs for each person. Virtue, KEI, and DS for pet.
bound chanter at Chrislin. turned in items, mage CoH'd chanter. Mage sent in pet, malo'd and threw a couple mass nukes. Cleric CH'd pet 2 times, and really didnt even need to. Chanter laid 3 650+ nukes when Thrackin was at 50%. Rarely any resists. Nukes hitting for full or just below full.
Total fight about 1 min. One very happy enchanter.
One note. He will not agro if you kill the bandits in his circle first. (this will warm up the pet :) )
owned 3 times in a row he does slow he's just got insane mr dont tash till half way down the first bub of health then wait a few seconds before slow dont slow again if it resists dot instead alternate dot / slow till both stick wait a few seconds between casting to not gain aggro we had 3 chanters 3 mages mages chain cast pets and i hasted pets didnt rune no peridots went down the first time after two pets from each mage and he was malised too by the mages and the second time i slowed him sooner only 2 mages had to get a second pet 3rd kill i died he resisted sooo many slows but the mages finished him
Took 51 Enc, 49 Shammy, 49 BL and 60 Wiz to take him on, and got our ***** whooped. The BL went through about 3 pets, the Wiz mana burned him which did about 5k of damage, but wasn't enough to take him on. He summoned me, then the shammy, then the Wiz - BL managed to gate. Most disappointingly is when I went back to Ms Baker and gave her the items again, about 40 min after the first time he didn't pop - intend to wait 24 hrs and try again.
We attacked him and tried to fear him and it never stuck but we didn't get any immune messages, the chanter was level 60. So for all practical purposes he's immune to fear.
Also he seems to always spawn with two FS swords. We spawned him twice and both times he had two FS swords. We used an earth pet, a greater vocaration air and an 49 SK to tank them. The chanter chain cast Bedlam on the tanks and he went down fairly easily. We had a 50 cleric and 54 druid for healing.
