How to farm it, step by step
  1. 1.Where to stand: Start in open grass.
  2. 2.Pull: Gather six to ten shoveltusks.
  3. 3.Group them up: Lead them in a line and turn.
  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: Avenger's Shield to pull, Consecration, Holy Shield and Hammer of the Righteous. Death knights: Death and Decay, then Pestilence and Blood Boil.
  5. 5.Kite: Open country in every direction.
  6. 6.Finish: Arcane Explosion, Holy Wrath or Blood Boil.
  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: Dragonflayer Guardians stand at the edges.
