So this thing, requires you to deal with elite elementals, just channel while it’s dying. No big deal, right?
On top of needing you to do a long soul-drain channel that can be interrupted by anything and puts the tool on a 30 second cooldown, it does pitiful damage too. So you better have the elite at 5% hp and pray you don’t accidentally auto-attack it while your stupid tool is still on cooldown.
Good luck with getting the elemental souls if you play something that doesn’t have significant dot damage to help with killing the elites while channeling the tool. It’s like they only made this tool with boomkins and warlocks in mind.
Whoever designed this tool needs to be demoted. Yes, I’m salty. I don’t care, it’s still a stupidly designed tool.
It is a bit of a nuisance to use
I’m lucky enough to be able to summon a ghoul to finish stuff off for me, but few specs basically require a friend to help them out with it
My advice? Get a friend to help kill them. My friend was having trouble getting them on his warrior alt, got me to come along and kill the elites for him, no problem.
I completely agree with the original post – as a melee class, this process of collecting mats is absurdly difficult. Each of the elementals have interrupts, the zapthrottle does a tiny amount of damage, so you have to both get lucky and time things perfectly.
I’ve killed six or so elementals without getting the docile item. I’m pretty frustrated; this has gone from “challenging game mechanic” to just pissing me off.
Suggestions:
- Remove or significantly delay the interrupt mechanics from the elementals.
- Increase the damage from the Zapthrottle.
- Remove the cooldown from the Zapthrottle.
Or - best yet - allow us to use the Zapthrottle on the elemental corpses.

I had to have a friend help when I needed mats.
