Easily kited by a hunter, they don't do too much damage.

These guys are really easy to solo as a level 60 who can kite, if you have good enough gear you can solo them without kiting them. Have fun!

Kommentar von Thottbot

kiting

Kommentar von Thottbot

Very easy farming with a rogue and it doesn't take as long to kill as paladins and druids. =P They do hit hard, so bring some dodge gear and a combat build.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Who ever said a shaman could kite these lumbering pile of stone ? It is possible and to date I have been farming these little buggers.

Method.

1.)Apply Searing Totem for added DPS
2.)Frostshock, run sideways counting 3,2,1
3.)Fire Lightning bolt
4.)IMMEDIATELY Frostshock
5.) Continue pattern of kiting-casting

My mana: 4627 <-- Just enough

For enchanment shammies... follow the same method. when OOM run in and finish up.

Do keep lightning shield up, and try not to get dazed ^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

today we farmed stones

lvl 60 warrior
lvl 55 shamman

very easy to follow strategy, warrior pulls, immediate demortalizing shout. once 4 sunders are down, have shamman cast healing totem and phisical attack. heal when neccisary.

too bad, 25 killed and no stones :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got jeweled amulet of caylwin from these today =)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just saw one today in Un'goro and thought i'd give one a shot. Took me a coupla goes (and feigns) but its pretty simple if you know what your doing. Basic kiting strategy, Cheetah aspect on, run, jumpshot arcane and concussive. Once concussive has hit, stop, turn around and fire off a multi-shot. Then turn back around and keep running. NEVER let it come within melee range because once it touches you, you are gone. Soloed as a 58 hunter.

Kommentar von Thottbot

everything that can be rooted dies to moonkins ^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

every class but war can do it easy it seems lol... same with most elites tho. as a 60 fury war with avg gear i can take them down most of the time, easy when using death wish

Kommentar von Thottbot

im a 60 ice mage and i own these guys all day without even getting hit i have only 3 blues no epics and the rest r greens i thought i suked too bad to kill these guys but theyr simple to kill any noob with blue gear can do it

Kommentar von Thottbot

for level 60 and 61 elites these are the easiest in the game, rolled these with 60 hunt, me 60 warr for 7 guardian stones, 1 eternium lockbox and 1 essence of earth....

Not bad, and most have about 25s each.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It takes about 5 minutes, but it CAN be done. Just find a huge tree which you can kite it around and just keep on doing circles around the tree while jump-shooting/auto-shooting.

I killed 2 and got nothing but some silver and 2 Shiny Polished Stones... >_>

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've killed a lvl 60 elite and a lvl 60 elite by myself on Azgalor, both times i've gotten a Guardian Stone. :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was farming for Guardian Stones and Essence of Earth off these and one dropped Elemental Mage Staff
:) Aelin on Khaz Modan Alliance Mage

Kommentar von Thottbot

Even for a disc / holy priest, ofc lost all mana, but np to kill. Decent 25silver + some rocks drop.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Tried this a few weeks after i hit 60, couldn't even do it with hamstring+bandage.

Now with BWL gear those are a joke, I am left with 80% health with shield out (fury/prot, bloodthirst crusader etc)

I can fully block the damage even from the 61 ones.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i dont know if this was mentioned but if you kite them soo too far.. they will bug out and evade, has happened to be twice now

60 hunter on malorne.. Redding PST if u have stones to sell

Kommentar von Thottbot

I kill these within 30seconds, not using kite strategy. I just put down a freezing trap, then: aimed shot, concussive shot, multi shot, arcane shot, and of course autoshots meanwhile. It freezes and I run to max distance, doing the same cycle again and then send pet, feign death and by this time it should have less than 40% so just nuke it down with all you got :). WAY faster than kite strategy, easy aswell!

Kommentar von Thottbot

easily solo these .. just hav the pet get aggro (turtles work well high armor etc )keep it healed and let of a few shots keep pet healed etc till it dies and if u do get aggro disengage or feign easy

Kommentar von Thottbot

These guys are pretty easy for a decent-geared prot warrior. If you just spam shield block they'll only hit you for between 50-80 tops, and that's not counting the parrying, dodging, Conc. Blows and misses. I think the trick is just having a good weapon to take 'em down with while you tank (I use Brutality Blade). I usually end up with about 60-70% health after killing one.

5/8 Might, Flamewalker Legplates, Brut. Blade, Aegis of the Blood God

I also found that the PvP trinket pretty much makes me invulnerable for its full duration.

Good luck.

Kommentar von Thottbot

ready?

druids:
starfire>entangle, repeat.

Kommentar von Thottbot

OMG just got epic sword (hanna) off these sold it for 800g epic mount here i come

Kommentar von Thottbot

An easy way to kill these for druids (although somewhat lengthy) is to keep them rooted and DoTed, and stay at max casting range.
Root
Insect Swarm
Moonfire
Re-root when it breaks
Re-apply DoTs when they finish

You should never get hit this way and with a bit of spirit and mana/5 you will never run out of mana.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Farming Guardian Stones for Shifting Cloaks, and damned if this isn't downright simple. I use a 60 NE Druid, feral-spec, with scattered Cenarion/Wildheart gear and a few pieces from AQ.

Follow the above strategy...root, Moonfire, Insect Swarm, then fire off either Wrath or Starfire. I suggest Wrath due to the lower casting time...if he breaks the Root, it's easier to finish the spell and get free damage, while still rooting him before he hits you.

If all else fails and you're below 1k mana while he's almost dead, Dire Bear and finish it off.

Out of 10 killed, I've gotten around 1g, some vendor trash, and 2 Guardian Stones. Hoping I can net a few blues for myself to use at later levels...plus the Herbalism, there's nothing like free Dreamfoil. :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

about a month ago i was on my pala and i felt like killing a couple and 1 of them dropped ELEMENTAL MAGE STAFF!
Alliance Boulderfist
Thundag

Kommentar von Thottbot

At least when you use a lvl 55 beast mastery hunter :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

really easy as a mage, I can down these in about 30 seconds. Not immune to slowing effects, so frostbolts work great (unlike some earth elementals that are immune to it)

For a 60+ elite, it doesn't hit very hard, about 400. Also doesn't have a lot of health, roughly 9300.

The only nuisance is actually riding around looking for them.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Very easy as a warlock, Curse of doom, banish, stick VW on it, Bolt him untill Curse of doom kicks in.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

as a rouge, i like doing DOT, starting out with garrote, 5 point ruptures, instant posion, because deadly doesnt work. and just stun lock as much as posiable afterward. lvl 61 elite, i might need use a greater healing pot sometimes

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I killed this mob solo for 700+ non-rested experience a pop at lvl 58. Got lots of stones, lots of greens, and a blue. Plus they drop anywhere from 11-70s. Downside is they're are only 4-5 roaming around but the repop rate is relatively decent.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

All classes can probably find a way to solo them regardless of talent choices; which makes this a nice mob to hunt while you're in ungoro gathering herbs/ore/leather. Gives you a fair shot at essence of earth (which xmutes to water or living), your only shot at guardian stones and the hope of a high-level blue or purple in the loot window.

The only problem you may have is figuring out what to do with all the guardian stones.... at least they vendor for a decent amount (as opposed to the 'no sale price' most items like this carry).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

They are soloable at 60, drops decent money + good vendorable greys. They also have a chance to drop Guardians Stones (which at this point of time are the only mobs that drop the item) which sells for good. 5% drop on Essence of Earth which is a nice bonus. Great for farming, anyone else find anything better?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

hunters can solo them very easily :
freezing trap -> aimed shot and pull it in the FT.
FD , 2nd freezing trap , aimed shot and pull it in the FT.
3rd aimed shot and finish him the fastest you can, wind clip when he is near you, then run away and finish him with arcane, multi and auto shot.
Really easy.

Since there are only a few of them, skinners can farm in the same time devilsaurs which are far easier to kill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

13 kills 3 rocks, nothing else though but still nice

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I solo him without Heal myself(paladin)
I am using judgemenet solf of light + (quel serrer and malistar defender) They are easy to kill, melee then with SoC, If u are tri + Prot its should be really easy

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Can solo them np with my Rank 14 warrior

have to slap 5 sunders on but it does the job

Kommentar von Allakhazam

BTW, if anyone is having a hard time finding them, just follow the lake/river/whatever it is, they spawn and walk along there.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

mage 60 farming those till i get 4 then i make cloak of warding, easy money got to buy arcane crystal and transmute though.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easily soloable as a priest. Immune to fear, dunno about dev plague. Start with vampiric embrace as far as u can, then mind blast + mind flay, new mind flay then mind blast + shadow word pain, then everytime u shield urself, mind flay(shield is down in about 4sec) then new shadow word pain and mind blast+mind flay until he's dead. No healing needed.With 3k hp and 6,6k mana i had around 800hp and 1,5k mana after he was dead. Shadowform is must because they hit hard

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've killed like 25 of these guys and no stones have dropped. 18% drop rate my @$$

EDIT: Don't try to farm in a raid waiting to do ZG.. they won't drop >.<

Edited, Fri Dec 9 22:23:05 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

these guys are a bit sad...
I am soloing these for quite a while, or use to do it. came back today, and I can actually autohit them to death, while they get me down to 65% hp... it takes 2 mins, but I can post stuff like this in the meantime ^^
ofc, should I actively use any skills, then i'd cut killing time by a lot.
anyway, that's not what a 60/61 elite should be like, right?

(me being full t2, AQ40 gloves/shoulders, t3 boots, and prot spec)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solod a lv 61 with my lv 52 hunter! Kited it down the river for 8 minutes before it it dropped, and what do i get? 11 silver! lol but the accomplishment is just awesome!

Kommentar von Norjak

Immune to fear, or I had terrible RNG

Kommentar von wentsa

Warlock 60 (DS/ruin) ~70s

SB
SB
Curse of Doom
Banish (rank 2)
SB (precast)
SB
Banish (rank 1)
SB (precast)
SB
Corruption
Run and wait

If you get lucky with crit/miss, he will die immediately after CoD pops. Otherwise few SB's and Corr will do the work. After kill, you should be almost full mana and not being hit a single time. Just care about other monsters wandering around

Kommentar von kve1

final update: i farmed those for ~10 hours and on average i get 3-4 stones/hour if im uncontested, and farm is really chill: /unitscan stone guardian -> autorun, alt tab and wow highlights everytime unitscan triggers. Its easy to configure unitscan to whisper yourself when it finds mob, look at addons comments
just follow the river, those dudes spawn at each end of it and all the way through it
really recommend to farm those now and not in p5, cause there is like 6 dudes only spawned in ungoro for all main tanks on your server, and its 8stones per enchant
prices on my server are allready 25g/stone and nicest thing is: theres only 34 on AH now - thats only 4 enchants

Kommentar von KnightTime

Fire mage in mostly BWL/AQ40 gear, little Naxx and ZG as well...

13 stones in 56 kills, so the 16% drop rate seems reasonable, if possibly understated. (I usually do not do well with RNG so I was pleased getting ~25%)

Ran the river, tail to nose (SE to NW)... There are 7 spawns altogether: 4 between the SE end point and the east edge of fire plume ridge, 2 to the NW beyond that, and 1 that pats N/NE from the NE point of Fire Plume Ridge. A couple of them can wander a little bit from the water, but not far - simple target macro does the trick.

Trinket/pyro/FB/FB/frost nova/fire nova (if resisted or breaks quick because of ignite), then mix of FB and scorch to finish him off. Pretty simple stuff - only mage armor and AI buffs active.

A complete circuit of kills and running back to SE start point (epic mount) took about 10-12 minutes, at which point the first one is respawning, so rinse/repeat pretty much non-stop if uncontested.
