Too late. 
Lol
I do have to laugh a little if he casts chain lightning I couldn’t imagine the people that have tried to do this and all get smoked. Even if they did group together lol

So what you’re saying is that even in a group of 5 the mob is still impossible?

yeah the mob sounds bugged imo did the OP come back and get help?
it’s a group quest. bring a group. you’re doing it wrong.
Well if its bugged then its bugged, if chain lighting is an issue why can’t people get in a group with multiple interupts and just never let the cast go off?
People shouldnt expect to be able to solo group content when they are level appropriate.

i find it highly unlikely that no other person in the game has attempted this quest in the last 5 years.
there are no bug reports, and no mention of anyone struggling on wowhead…

idk, never needed a group for this particular quest I’ve done it successfully a few times on classic. And a couple times a long time ago on retail.
The chain lightning definitely didn’t hit for 20k
Even IF it did hit 20k it was intended as the spell can be interupted and its designed for a group (more than 1 kick is available) so just kick the spell and be done with it?
Interupt the ability?
But a well timed interupt can reduce it by 100% who would of thought 
?
20k interupted is 0.

Well, I’m honestly not surprised.
Eversong Woods has some NPCs whose damage is a total mess since 2020.
There are some elementals/ghosts, I think they are the Mana Stalker, that kill you in one hit with Moonfire.
I think the total damage is 2000 and at that level you have between 700-800HP depending on the class and spec (with Heirlooms).
There are several threads about that bug.
Normally it’s not a problem because we all kill enemies in one hit up to a certain level. But many times it can happen that they are left with 5-10 health and it is there, in that window of time, where they use Moonfire and kill you.
The problem is that the cemetery is so far away that you lose a good 5 minutes to get there.
Reading about a Chain Lightning doing 20k damage in Ghostlands doesn’t surprise me.

“Hey guys, the quest leveling mob is one shotting me, what do I do?”
“LOL Get good and come back after you outlevel it.”
No. This is a scaling issue that needs to be addressed, much like many other Chromie Time situations. OP, make sure you submit bug reports on it.

You’re talking about the ones in West Sanctum!
Exactly!!!
Really liked your thread in the CC forums. Wish there would be some sort of feedback on the scaling issues. I mentioned you in a thread I made today.

This is what the person said that was helping me. I was able to get the quest completed with a level 70’s help.
They told me a lot of old quests are messed up right now. 
I’m more of a solo player so this bothers me a bit. Do you think we will get a fix?
TY guys I got lucky and there was someone in the zone helping someone with The Traitors Destruction who one shot it for me.
After the responses I got asking about it on the forums I was afraid to share my bnet information.

It’s actually more likely than you think. Thanks to Chromie time, leveling players get to choose their leveling content. Most experienced players tend to just pick certain expansions and / or spam dungeons to quickly level. Even if they decide to level classic zones, Belf and Draenei starting zones are dreadfully low in popularity. As for new players, they get thrown automatically into BFA.
Of the few people who do do Ghostlands, they are likely either doing it at max level for Loremaster and are one-shotting everything, or are at a low enough level that the wonky scaling favours the player and they can kill him before he gets a cast off.
You know that comment was from 2007, right lol?

its a shame some of those old zones are killer EXP/hr If I can remember right Ghostlands floods you with quests all close together.
Doesn’t change the fact that the ability is clearly bugged, and if he casts the spell fast enough that the interrupt is off cooldown, and if you happen to be playing a class that doesn’t yet have access to any other kind of CC, you’re SOL.
Like I said before, it sounds like something that can be worked around, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s bugged.

i’ve been going through there in Chromie time to grab some transmogs i don’t have.
i’ll have to go seek out the quest to see what’s up.
But… how many posts and reports from the game are needed to take care of that ?
I understand it’s an unimportant enemy from an initial zone of a rather old expansion, but the first post I found about the Moonfire bug is from 2020.
It’s been 3 years and the bug is still active.
Indeed.
