Now that I have two level 70s, I've been thinking about how the two characters are going to help each other. GOT IT! Farming motes of water. Rahr is going to be killing so many water elementals in the next few weeks it's going to be unbelievable. Nar, as Rahr probably should have been, is a tailor, and obviously because of her frost spec is specializing in Shadoweave Tailoring. That said... this means that she needs an inordinate amount of motes of water to turn into the many, many, oh so many primal water that she will need for her frozen shadoweave set.
I think blizz must think it's funny that there is such a high number of motes of water necessary for the crafted set that benefits frost mages the most. That is just ironic and sad. Nar is 61 points frost... nothing else. (which, believe me, will probably change at some point, but I'm kind of enjoying the purist nature of her talent spec). So, she has very few effective weapons against water elementals, who are immune to practically 150% of the things she does on a regular basis.
Given the choice between fireballing and fireblasting these elementals to the world's edge and drinking every fight because of my lack of mana efficiency, I've chosen the much more reasonable approach of having rahr farm these for her. It's the least that he could do for her. He takes down level 65 watery blobs so simply. Big blue blob of the void is happy to hold anywhere from one to 4 of these little buggers while rahr dots them up, smacks his siphon life on them and then can health funnel if need be to keep grinding for hours on end without ever needing to eat or drink. PLUS! (by which I mean triple PLUS PLUS PLUS!) he has underwater breathing. HOW PERFECT! It's so sweet, I can't believe how perfectly it works.
Is rahr going to farm motes of shadow though? Hell no... that'd take for freakin' ever. Which does lead me to one other question. Is it completely inappropriate to skip the farming entirely and just buy all the stuff to make it off the AH? I know it's pricey but.. come on... It'll take forever to farm, no?
I guess the choice is, farm the gold or farm the motes. Well, thanks Rahr! You're the best.

Hey Rahr,
I was faced with the same Primal Water problem. I considered farming water elementals but then elected a different course of action. I had my high level alchemist (Belmontio) gain high enough reputation with the Sporeggar so I could learn Transmute - Primal Earth to Primal Water. Primal Earth sells at AH for a fraction of what Primal water sells for and you can transmute at a rate of 1 per day. I don't recall if you have a high level alchemist or not but I bet you could pester some friends into doing few transmutes for you to save you some time.
Gratz on Nar hitting 70!

Yeah, no high level alchemist ATM but that's a really good idea. Especially in terms of the benefit for selling at auction. Good call. I'll probably still go about farming a lot of waters with Rahr though, since he's pretty darn good at it.
