[Quest] "You Are Rakh'likh, Demon" mob pathing issue

[Arcitec]

Current Behaviour

• "You Are Rakh'likh, Demon" is the final quest of a 20-part chain. But it's not completable on AzerothCore, because it's a very strong group quest.
• Only people who have the quest active are able to teleport up to the boss. This is intentional and working properly.
• The quest mob kills a blue geared hunter in 4 hits, and a tank-specced hunter pet with "Mend Pet" in 6 hits.
• Even if you somehow outheal the utterly insane damage, the boss has a timer until it does an attack that throws you off the mountain to your death. So even if you focus hard on heals/survival, you will not have enough DPS to finish the quest.
• Wowhead comments shows that people struggled even with 5-man parties on the boss.
• The way to defeat the quest mob, which people use on Wowhead, is not usable on AzerothCore: They aggro the boss, then kite it down the mountain, and finally bring it down to the awaiting party below to kill it together.
• On AzerothCore, the mob pathing doesn't work: The boss first gets stuck on the steepest slope at the top, basically running in the air without moving. After 20 seconds it finally succeeds at pathing down to a lower mountain slope. You obviously have to constantly hit the boss to make sure it doesn't lose interest, during all this. Next, you jump down to the base of the mountain, and that's when the boss follows you for a second, and then teleports itself back home to the top of the mountain.
• On official Blizzard servers, the boss follows you down the entire mountain very easily and continues chasing you as long as you keep hitting it (standard kiting behavior).
• Because there's no way to teleport a party up to the mountain, and AzerothCore doesn't have a way to kite the boss, and the boss has a timer that knocks you off the mountain, this quest becomes completely impossible on AzerothCore at its intended level. You can definitely return at level 70+ "with the next expansion's gear" to deal with it, but before that you're screwed.

Expected Blizzlike Behaviour

• The boss should path down the entire mountain and follow the player, so that the official Blizzard server player strategy works on AzerothCore too.

"Razelikh can be kited all the way to Stonard for those looking to solo this quest. While immune to all snare/slowing effects a simple speed enchantment or arathi basin foot armor reward will prevent him from gaining ground.

The Descent:

The mountain can be safely descended on the northside. The first jump down, to the rune of return plateau, will be the only one to cause damage. Once there drink a potion to recover the lost health and tag Razelikh to maintain the kite.

From the rune of return plateau move to northern most edge. Avoid the rune itself or you will be teleported to the entrance of the tainted scar. You will be able to spot the next highest ledge, and land there by walking backwards off the plateau. Directly east of the ledge will be the obvious safe route down to the road. Be sure to tag Razelikh immediately after making the third jump.

The Kite:

Once at the base of the mountain the kite is fairly straight forward. Razelikh's only ranged attack mana burn is the best time to tag him. It is slow casting enough to tag and get out of range."
