Yesterday I happened to have an acute need for some frigid hearts so I went to Ice Floe with an E/Me and found out that although it is possible to solo farm ice imps around Marhan's Grotto it is a somewhat sticky business with their tendency to come in mobs of five or more and inclination towards water magic, so I left it at that after collecting the required 5 hearts. I noticed, however, that the loot was overall quite good, so I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a good build to snuff the little buggers, or indeed is farming around the place? My ele used a combination of fire for damage and earth (Obsidian Flesh) for protection agaist Mind Freeze and other nasty spells. The information might be useful for people running to the Grotto as well.
Edit: I tend to assume that a smiting monk built around Spell Breaker could fare quite well since the direct (i.e., non-spell) damage of ice imps is negligible.

I solo farm there with my mo/me on occasion. I use Spell Breaker (elite), Arcane Echo, Mantra of Frost, Healing Touch, Shielding Hands, Holy Veil, Blessed Aura, and Mending. I can usually take as many Imps as there is in a group just so long as I don't screw up and hit the echoed Spell breaker too late, in which case I must run like mad before one of them gets Mind Freeze off on me. It does take me about 45 seconds to kill each Imp, though, but I haven't figured out a way around that problem yet... Any suggestions?
