So you've dinged 51, and bought your new dots ebolt and splurt have you? And you say youre ready for some hardcore exp via some hardcore aggro kiting?

Youve come to the right place...


I'm going to explain the MEM(Most Effecient Methods) for hunting Werewolfs
in Plane of Nightmare starting at level 51.

SPELLS: Invoke death, augment death, dooming darkness, splurt, ebolt, feign death.

First If you have alot of plat to waste, and I know this is a cardinal sin as a necro, please forgive me and try your best to hold your tongue in terms of flames, get yourself a KEI and a virtue. NOTE: Yes, I realize we have lich, but if you want continuous pulls and if you are not an insane twink, you will need to keep BoD off your spell lineup for now(too much mana).

NOW...to get there...

Through PoK take the Plane of Tranquility stone. Run out of the door once you zone in and head directly to your left down the beach. It is the SECOND building along the beach, run around the building until you find the staircase. Dont go up either staircase, just run through the middle and youll eventually get to a place with some kind of wooden barrel thingy with some sludge in it. Click the sludge...

Plane of Nightmares...loading please wait....

Now you have two options on where to hunt at this point. The first, and best option I would reccommend are werewolfs. The second is treants and spiders around graveyard(zone in). I am going to explain werewolfs for now since they are best, but I'm thinking these will be heavily camped on all other servers besides mine. SO...apply the same strategies I describe with regards to the werewolfs to treants and spiders.

Ok, to get to werewolfs is very easy. DMF, run as high up on the wall heading to the waterfall(to the left) as you can. Dont need to invis, if you stay high up on the wall you should be fine. Keep heading that way for about a minute, be careful though you can run right into the werewolf camp if youre not paying attention. Theyre small little furry fellas.

First off you have 3 pulls that wont aggro. After you wipe this, which if youre using my methods you will at 51 no problem assuming you have decent gear. After those 3 pulls you can feign split the ones by the rocks pretty easily.

NOW, setup...your camp will be up along the wall near WWs, or next to the nice little tree that looks like a treant. Summon Jabober, buff him with augment death, turn taunting off. Cast DOOMING darkness on your first wolfie. Why dooming? Less mana, most effecient, trust me. If you get resisted, run a little ways along wall and try again, you may take some hits, hopefully you have the plat for virtue and you can channel through this. They hit hard, dont crap your pants the first time. So you land dooming...

Now toss an ebolt on that mofo, get him good and pissed off right away. If you lose aggro, jabober will go down quickly and theres not much you can do about it except watch, so first dot...ebolt. Then splurt. Re-darkness OFTEN, dont let it wear out or youll have a pissed off PoN mob lunging for your throat. I re-darkness about every 30-45 seconds. Now just run back and forth along the wall, STAY ON WALL...dont wanna aggro those treants and spiders. After splurt wears off, re-splurt.

If I remember correctly, it takes about 1 ebolt(dont need more unless youre trying to kill it faster and have mana to spare), 2 splurts, and uhhh, this is just a guess...6 or 7 darknesses(not positive on this)?

They should run at 18% ish....sit and med while you wait for pet to finish off, redarkness if necessary.

Easy huh? Wow, and it only took you half a barish of mana at 51! Now youre ready to pull another! Good luck!

EXP: 2-3% ish I believe(using oldschool skin, so dont know exact percent)...

LOOT: So far Ive looted A Raw Diamond. Heard Decaying bone idols drop here, nice range item if you dont already have.

:blink: Ouch I wouldn't try these at lvl 51, I'm not saying it isn't doable but will be insanely hard. I used to charm kite these on my 56 druid and almost died every time just pulling the 3 easy ones LOL. These things are rancid, they hit for 200-450 at least, if dire charm works on these it could be nice for fearing blood ravens near the hob-gobbies at 3 trees.

Personally I didn't try soloing PoN until the mid 50s, and even then the resists were so high on the treants and spiders that it was little better than soloing low dark blues in old world zones: every time I got an add or four darkness resists in a row and had to FD, zone and lose a pet, that was at least five minutes lost, which quickly made up for the greater XP per kill... not to mention dying and having to scrounge a rez when FD failed.

As for KEI, I had a hard time killing them and having a significant amount of mana left when I tried with KEI: with Demi Lich I had plenty. Even Lich is more mana than KEI and you get free damage from the Bond of Death.
