STA and World Boss

I have been out of game for more than half a year, and back to the game in September.
As I entered a TW faction on my 95 archer recently, the opportunity to kill a World Boss increased considerably.
There come the reason of this thread: months ago, before I left momentarily the game, I had the usual argument about STA decrease of XP in a random FCC squad, the guy telling me STA does not decrease XP (it's not my point here, I have done the test myself and know by fact it reduces XP). During the argument, I told him that, if XP weren't reduced, that would be really wonderful (I was ironical) to STA Wraith, and get the full XP. He answered that it's not possible to STA World Boss...
Thing is, I made my own research on the forum and on google, and couldn't find anything.
So, the questions are:

- is it possible to STA World Boss?
- if the answer is no, I don't want belief, I want fact. So, please, if you are convinced World Boss can't be STAed, provide something as consistent as possible to make your point valid.

Thank you.

    Did the world boss in first map bout a month ago, and I use first cast NV claws Windpour, so I still have the soul infect buff on my claws and I can tell you it does work.

    Was funny to see his hp change, and kinda surprised me. But world bosses are like any other bosses they can be dropped in HP, amp'd, debuffed, etc.
    Nothing worthwhile to mention here, enjoy the animated signature~

    He is partially correct in that Harpy Wraith cannot be toothed but it is also not a true WB (not a part of the Lost Kingdom expansion that introduced the WBs).

    WBs can be toothed as well as most other bosses with the most prominent exceptions being Nirvana bosses and mobs in City of Abominations.
