He basically goes on a path around the lake where St is. Solo'd while ago on a 70 warlock. Felguard tanked I dotted and I just kept the guard healed and kept the dragon dotted. When he finally killed the felguard I used Fel domination to get him back soul shattered to get him off me, took a lil bit for the felguard to pick aggro back up and I almost died. Not that hard though. Just my take on it.

Kited him with AotC, rank 1 Arcane, & distracting to Stonard. He's immune to serpent sting, so I started using distracting so he wouldn't evade bug from not enough threat. I didn't bother trying to get the guards to kill him, just ran inside the gates to town and ran out the opposite side and back again.

Took him down with a 60 feral druid, 60 holy priest, 60 fury warrior, 49 holy priest, and 49 fire mage. I thought it was a joke going after him with two 49's but he went down on the 2nd attempt. Definately bring a priest and some ranged and melee DPS.

For our group (3 warriors, mage, and shaman), he was the toughest by far. We killed Scryer and Chronalis in one try each, but Somnus took three. You may want to have nature protection potions handy, and nature resist as well. He also hits like a truck and has a knockback attack that throws you about 50 feet away and in the air.

He also has a circular path he takes through SoS, so pick an area where he goes, and after he passes, kill all the mobs in the area. Lots of trash, either crocs, or elite dragonkin (level 43-45). If you get knocked in to one of them, you have an add or two you don't need to deal with.
