I personally found these superior to Enslaved Tempests for Volatile Air farming, but I farm as an undead frost-mage tailor. This means the occasional Twilight Cultist lurking about was easily controllable/killable and gave me some Embersilk on the side, in addition to being munchable (not that I really need that as a mage). As posted above, these guys are closer together and respawn faster than Tempests. IME, Storm Vortexes make for a tighter and more productive farming cycle.

I just spent an hour and only got 5. For the last 40 or 50 I didn't get a single drop. Maybe it is just luck of the draw.

Thirty minutes of farming these yielded just 4 Volatile Airs. Probably only 10% of the Vortices were by themselves: the rest had a mage with them, which is annoying.

I just had a rough patch farming Volatile Fires from the area NE of there where it took me about 70 minutes to get the 10 I needed. With a low drop rate like they have (at 13% chance, and considering they often drop multiples, it's probably 1 in 15 or worse that drop any at all) there is definitely going to be luck involved if you don't farm for a long period of time. I had a lot better luck farming Volatile Airs immediately afterward (got 10 in about 20 minutes).

Based on the early posts here and comparing them to the later ones, my guess is that, initially, the drop rate of volatile air was inadvertently assigned the algorithm that is applied to quest items that more or less drop 100% of the time. Bliz noticed that the occurrence of volatile air dropping was way too high, investigated, discovered the mistake and corrected it so that now you get a much much lower drop rate.

Don't know if it's just me being paranoid, but I subscribe to the view that Blizz has added anti-farming code. My drop-rate went up if I killed ten of these then went and killed some Worgs or other creatures in a neighbouring area. Not kidding, I got 6 in twenty minutes of just farming Storm Vortices, but when I mixed it with other creatures I got 17 in fifteen minutes!

I killed non-stop for 1 hour 15 minutes before I got 20 Volatile Air. -- "Pathetic" is the word that comes to mind.

However, rotating between the very low drop-rate of these Storm Vortex's and the slow-respawning but slightly higher drop-rate Enslaved Tempest's to the South seems to barely keep me from going insane as I farm for what seems like "forever" for Volatile Airs. On a bad day it can take 2 hours to get 20. But sometimes you get 3 or 4 in a row, and that's awesome. All in all though, the drop rate sucks.

So I think killing "other things" is psychological only. But if it helps, I say go for it! :+)
