I asked my guildies (Warcraft Knights on Azshara) and one suggested that I polymorph them first. That worked, and distance was irrelevant. Others suggested that for non-mage alts. stunning, hexing, etc. would also work. Thanks for the suggestions, though.

Usually repairs easy. Anima everywhere! Except drought means we can't just pull it from air. Other sources needed! Take this. Drain anima from cloudstriders. Not ideal, but desperate times.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Phalynx Malfunction
As part of their training, I order my phalynx units to march the fields, keeping an eye on the wildlife and any goings-on. Unfortunately, last time they returned they were one fewer in number. Please search the Golden Pasture and search for the missing unit, then return it here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- We Can Rebuild Him
Gatamatos needs numerous repairs to meet functional standards. Upkeeping phalynx is part of the role. Lend a hand so we may finish the repairs thoroughly and quickly.
