How to farm it, step by step
  1. 1.Where to stand: Work the open ground in the south of the zone; the elementals stand apart, so plan a loop.
  2. 2.Pull: Aggro three to five elementals as you run between them.
  3. 3.Group them up: They are slow: let them gather into one tight group before you stop.
  4. 4.Abilities: Frost Nova as they bunch up, step out of melee range, then channel Blizzard over the pack; Improved Blizzard and Permafrost keep them crawling through it. Cone of Cold and a second Frost Nova (after its cooldown or Cold Snap) cover the last seconds. Paladins: Consecration under the pack with Blessing of Sanctuary and Retribution Aura up.
  5. 5.Kite: Easy to kite at walking speed while Cone of Cold is on cooldown.
  6. 6.Finish: Arcane Explosion.
  7. 7.Recover: Drink conjured water and eat between pulls; save Evocation and a mana gem for a pull that runs long. Rebuff Frost or Ice Armor and Ice Barrier before the next pull.
  8. 8.Avoid: Nothing hostile shares this area; watch for other players' pulls.
