Magistrate Barthilas is a level 58 elite wight mini-boss found in the Scourge side of Stratholme.

Background

Upon death, Barthilas reverts back to this original human form

Barthilas was an ambitious paladin who served under Tirion Fordring at Mardenholde Keep. He may be the same character as Magistrate Barthilas.

Barthilas was ordained a paladin just as the Second War ended, a war which claimed his parents' lives, and left the young man a deep hatred for all orcs. When Tirion was found injured and unconscious, Barthilas immediately assumed that it he had been attacked by an orc, and began to scour the countryside for a force of them.

After Barthilas discovered that Tirion had protected the orc Eitrigg, he personally oversaw the paladin's persecution, as well the plans for the torture and execution of the orc, only to see Eitrigg rescued.

Barthilas begrudgingly assumed his new position as head of Mardenholde, but was killed shortly afterwards, during Arthas's raid on Stratholme, his title eventually passing to Tirion's son Taelan Fordring.

Location

The Magistrate can be found in two locations in Stratholme. If the party enters through the eastern gate (typically referred to as the dead side or the Baron side), the Magistrate sounds an alarm and runs from just inside the instance to the gates just before the Baron. If the party enters through the western gates (typically referred to as the main gates or Strat Scarlet Side or the living side), he remains near the eastern entrance in front of Aurius.

See the map at Worldofwar.net for a layout of Stratholme. The location marked as 6 is where he is located when entering though the Scarlet Side gates. The location for the Baron side is unmarked, but it is between 10 and 12 (Maleki the Pallid and Ramstein the Gorger).

This is only important if you are trying to farm the Magistrate for drops. In particular, the druid idol ( [Idol of Brutality]) that drops from the Magistrate is excellent for bear druids and the quickest way to get to him is by entering through the Scarlet Side gates.

Strategy

This fight is fairly straightforward, with one caveat. When tanking the Magistrate, it is best to have the tank back up against a wall, as this mob will punt the player with aggro a fairly good distance. In addition, if mobs were skipped near the gate, it is possible to be punted into them.

The punt effect is either a complete threat wipe or a large threat reduction that will hit the character currently tanking the Magistrate. It is important that dps run towards the tank rather than away from the tank if the Magistrate targets them following a punt. He is tauntable so it's easy to establish threat after the punt if the tank can reach him.
