This things are not to be scared, if you plan to fight them, just keep up Stoneskin (important when they cast Freeze, Blizzaga and i think one of them casted Blizzard II), Barblizzara (yeah I'm a WHM), Haste and Blaze spikes....as a WHM you will be dealing like 8-10 points of damage but your club skill will go to the sky and Blaze spikes will cause this elemental like 9-10 points as well. Please, if you see your Stoneskin goes off, just recast it again, Freeze can handle about 350 damage, but that is not my point, there are several undead near elementals , so watch out if you don't wanna get killed.
Where are the popular spawning points for Ice Elementals in Beaucidine Glacier? I looked for what seemed forever, and by the time I would get to one it would turn to dark elementals. Any ideas?
In Beaucedine, they spawn around the lakes at H9, G10, and J7. I know they normally spawn 2 around H9 and G10... so I would assume 2 also spawn around J7 (atleast in Double Ice Weather)...
(Remember, Elements spawn near places they like... Water near lakes, ice near Ice-covered lakes, Wind in valleys/gulches, Earth near mountains and crags... So... don't go looking everywhere :P Think to yourself, "If I were an XXX element... where would I be?")
My main is a lvl 43 war/nin currently. I can take the elementals in Rolenberry, Battilla and the Champaign. And still have 200 or so HP which is little under a quarter. Not needing to use my 2hr, just war cry and blink alot. Was wondering if I should wait till I hit lvl 50 to farm these and where a good spot is to farm them around that lvl.
If you remember the elemental chart, Wind is weak against Ice (That's why I use Enblizzard/Baraero/Ice Spikes on Air Elementals)
Silence, being wind element, will be resisted like crazy. Don't cast it, since you'll be wasting MP...instead pull your BLM debuffs that lower Mind and Intelligence. Buff with Barblizzard, Enfire, and Blaze Spikes.
Personally, I like to throw out an evil laugh when using Fire II on them...
I'll take a Dark Elemental any day over a Ice Elemental... Both Elementals in Beaucedine; they must be the same level, right? For some odd reason, as previously stated in other posts, Ice Elems completely resist Silence (capped Enfeebling at level 63 btw)... Yet the Dark Elementals get Silenced easily. You would think that Dark Elementals would be stronger... hmm. /em shrugs.
hmmm. well I fought this thing at lvl 57 just to see if i could atleast take it. well it turns out i killed it. I still had MP left over too. I'm elvaan too. All i did was cast slow, Haste on me, and evertime i needed to cast stoneskin i casted Flash first it gives you the perfect amount of time to cast stoneskin he rarely actually hit me and it's good to max out your enhancing because it helps out a lot. trust me. anyway i won a bet for gill and well they lost the gill haha. well that's how it is done that silence crap doesn't work well on those things and isn't worth the mp to cast on them.
these things are evil, i was farming them in xarcabard (for clusters) they kept resisting silence and casting freeze on me, phalanx + stoneskin + prot III + shell II (i was to lazy to buy shell III) were on me at all times, it still did around 470-550 damage with freeze, the elementals near the tele crystal seem not to cast freeze as much, as you get farther away from tele crystal they seem to go freeze happy, at one point ice elemental cast freeze 4 times
