How to Get the Burnout Rune
As of Phase 6, all runes and skill books can be purchased from Rune Brokers in starting zones and major cities for 1 copper a piece. Each of these vendors is simply named “Rune Broker” and can be easily spotted by their purple glow, lurking very close to where new characters enter the game. You can see all of their locations in our guide below.

Found the only firespell that was effective on this guy in durotar was living flame, everything else was absorbed.
Living Flame is the only way I’ve found to do this solo, but usually you need multiple players to cast Fire spells on the ice at the same time to thaw it. All hits should be absorbed until the ice melts.
