I’m trying to get Frosty and Fiery Souls from powerful elementals. I’ve killed many but I’m just not fast enough in clicking Zapthrottle Soul Inhaler > Pressing “Okay” on “Using this item will bind it to you” > clicking on the elemental again cause it wasn’t targeted for some reason and missing the 0,01 second time window when you are supposed to use the item. Any tips other than “git gud”?
Answer: Have a DoT on the elemental while it’s on low HP, wait for it to die from the DoT while you are casting the item and boom.
When you use the Zapthrottle Soul Inhaler - in concert with an Empty Soul Cage - on an Elite elemental hostile mob within the Dragon Isles AS IT PERISHES , the Zapthrottle Soul Inhaler will go in a 15-minute cooldown, and the Empty Soul Cage will be consumed. If you fail to maintain the cast through the mob’s expiration, the Zapthrottle Soul Inhaler will instead only have a 30-second cooldown, and the Empty Soul Cage will NOT be consumed. You can attempt to use it on the same mob if the cooldown comes up in time. Only one player can inhale a soul from an individual mob when it dies.
A successful collection will yield one of the four Encaged Souls listed below, in line with the Elemental family of the mob:
There are indications that other items may drop from these soul inhalations, but my testing hasn’t yet yielded any results. It is unclear if the battle pets purported to drop using theZapthrottle Soul Inhaler (Blaze Spirit, Gale Spirit, Dust Spirit, or Tide Spirit) come from when the Inhaler produces the Encaged Soul, from crushing the Encaged Soul container before the 15-minute time expires, or found within the Docile soul container.
ask someone in guiild if you are not a DOT class it’s gonna be a hard one
i literally yesterday was doing this as ret paladin and the earthen soul
I killed like 6-7 of them till i actually did it
it would be easier when someone will kill it for you when you are channeling
I think you need to have a soul cage to capture it
those 2 things are needed for capture a soul of elemental
No, you can start the channel before the mob dies as long as it’s still channeling when it dies. Can start it at like 20% as long as you got DOTs killing it.
The item has been horrendously designed. Any class lacking in dots has extreme difficulty getting it to work. I’m playing warr so have been respeccing into prot just so I can attempt to rend just before it dies and then use the inhaler.
Half the time the mob just CCs me and cancels the inhalers and since it has a 30 second CD the mob then just dies to the dot…
They really need to make it so its usable on targets below 5% hp.
Is there a specific reason that this has been designed so it’s pratcically impossible to collect on melee classes?
The elementals have two abilities they cast with a high freqency - both of which interrupts the channel and a 30 second CD is incurred. I have a 6s stun on a 60s CD I can use, but my only DoT is Concecration, which has a 9s CD and a 12s duration.
Basically I have to time it so I stun, cast Concecration AND make sure the elemental dies within the 6 second by concecration while it’s stunned. Else it will cast Earthen Spikes/Slam and interrupt the Channel by the Soul Inhaler. By then the mob is so low on HP that it dies from consecration.
I fail to see the reason why this is so tedious? Can this be changed so that the inhaler applies a debuff with a certain duration the mob has to die within instead?
It should autokill the target below a certain hp % (like 5 or so it only works on elites anyway and they have a lot of hp), as certain classes can really struggle to get it done, not to mention that you also have to wait 15 minutes to get it, and certain recipes require 2-3 different ones…
It can be very annoying with a class that cannot dot and you might have to respec to do it
It works very similar to warlocks old drain soul for soul shards.
