Hey.
There is a small trick I just found out while fighting the gargoyles in front of the citadel while doing my argent tournament dailies.
It's rather simple so here is what you do:
- Run below the gargoyles
- Use Shield Breaker
- Jump and press the melee attack (1) (it's not on the long cooldown of shield breaker)
--> The gargoyle will die without casting a lightning on you although he is not in melee range (don't pick gargoyles that fly way too high, it does not work with every height). Profit? You don't lose you shield charges and killing them lasts roughly half the timt it did before. It's not much but it makes the quests less annoying. I'm doing these crappy quests for weeks now and they start to drive me crazy ^^
