Soloed as a T6 resto geared boomkin specced druid, just start with a starfire and moonfire, run in travel form for a bit and fire another of those starfires reins and repeat. They are slow enough for you to keep running in boomkin form all the time if your mana for some reason does not allow shapeshifting.

Also make sure to keep the surrounding area clear of mobs while you attempt your kiting.

Soloed as 78 DK, no problems.

Soloed as a 78 ele shammy with lvl 75 spells. Mob does a nasty knockback,but you will not take fall damage. Very easy if you can heal,as when you're knocked back,it makes some room between you and the mob, giving you time to heal or bandage.

P.S
The mobs are immune to nature damage.

Comment by SameN

Very easy to solo as a mage. He is kiteable and casts a Whirling Winds on himself that can be Spell Stealed. The buff increases move speed by 25% and attack and cast speed by 10%.

These mobs seem nice to farm a little Crystallized Air.

Comment by scarroll9

These little buttheads link even if you have the buff that makes them neutral.

perfect for farming crystallized air
soloable as a 77 mm hunter with (cat) pet dps'ing but not tanking (it dies too fast if tanking)

Comment by robog2

soloed as a feral druid at 77.Use maim and heal up.

Comment by Jushak

As a lvl 80 DK in semi-decent gear I found these to be best source of crystallized airs, at least when your faction doesn't control Wintergrasp.

Even when your side controls Wintergrasp you might prefer these for couple of reasons:

- No fear of gankers (on PvE server that is).
- Small area to farm in, but can support couple of farmers before you need to wait for respawns.
- Farmable when you want, independent of PvP or how much your faction sucks on your realm.
- Drop percent, while not 100%, seems high. When they do drop, they never seem to drop less than 2.
- Drop more vendor trash than most mobs. As there is vendor nearby you can make decent gold on the side of farming.

Easily soloable as Level 76 DK specced into Blood.
Keep yourself at high health with Death Strike and rotate IceboundF and VampiricB, it's an easy kill.

Rootable..

Soloed as an 80 Holy Priest. Although I am in T7+ gear, I think this guy can be soloed by any class which has a DOT at almost any reasonable level.

Find a warden which is near a statue (the statues have a square base and are usually at the corners of the walls).
Look around the statue and make sure there are no adds which will interfere with you.
Get a warden's attention and kite it to the statue.
Kite the warden around the statue which will keep him out of melee range from you. Just keep running around the statue keeping it between you and the warden. As the DOTs wear off, just wait at a corner of the statue and refresh DOTs as the warden comes into LOS.
Rinse and Repeat until the Warden is dead.

Freshly dinged lvl 80 BM hunter with lvl 75 bear pet.

Had the glyphs of Steady Shot, Bestial Wrath and Serpent Sting, and the pet was buffed with a Sporeling Snack.

Mend Pet, Misdirection, send the pet in, and destroy them. No kiting, nothing.

Soloable as a 77 retribution paladin in northrend blues and greens (with De-Raged Waraxe).

- Put on Devotion Aura
- Pull / Kite with Exorcism and Seals
- Run in and just DPS him down, or go in and out between stuns if you're getting hit too hard
- Heal when Art of War procs

I ended each kill with between 50% and 75% health.

Good luck!

Comment by Vreyara

As a sidenote, these mobs are a good way for hunters to learn/practice kiting for the Gluth adds, from Naxxramas.

Damn you with your thottbot "sooloed as lvl 72 arcane fire specced 50/23/1 with ress sickness" comments!

And more importantly, why do these guys have a knock back ability since it takes ages for them to get to the target after they used it?

Comment by 232030

TO ALL ROGUES HAVING TROUBLE:

Make sure they are slowed with crippling poison (they are NOT poison immune!), and when they throw you back, run back a bit and bandage while stalling for time. Remember: your kidney shot only has a 20 sec cooldown. ;-)

These guys can be EASILY soloed by a 75 hunter in quest blues and greens, I used a worm and it was just a matter of not letting Mend Pet ever go down.

Comment by 245256

Mages: you can spellsteal their Whirling Winds and literally run circles around them.

Comment by 243362

As for mages, u can use same tac as the unblemished heart. Frostfire bolt at max range and nuke it. When/if it gets close; Cone of cold/frost nova and blink, turn around and nuke.

Only took me 3 kills.

Comment by Isurus

It thinks it's pretty strange that these guys give a 50 % movement speed buff when they die when themselves just run at maybe 50 % player speed (And EVEN when they have a 25%+ run speed buff....)
