The person who needs to answer this is Jeb since he hunts there pretty frequently I think. I used to go there with my Wizard when it was THE AoE spot after they nerfed the grey. I still have pictures of 50-60 mobs pulled all dead in one AoE session and we used to do one every 12 minutes (spawn time). They nerfed it by making some unmezzable mobs in it so when you would do a 50+ pull and got 5 or so of these they would beat the chanters up who then couldnt get the mez off on the other mobs essentially killing us all. We used to get 4-5 blues of AA exp every 12 minutes.

Jeb, when you answer this post your tactics for going in deep and where to get the arch sage etc. thanks. I think I would like to check it out myself since I havent been back in some time.

I didn't do much pre-60 hunting in AC. The door mobs are very trivial at 65, and could no doubt be killed at 50 by a necromancer, the trick is getting just one. The agro range is small, not droga small...but most would more then likely not add.

AC has tons of walkers in the passages... I guess if you want my suggestion, find a dead end near the zone in, and see if you can root/rot or kite a bit there. A word of caution though, there are ALOT of casters in AC. Expect to be only self-buffed very quickly(unless your extremely lucky or selective) and nuked pretty hard.

As for the inner sanctum, the arch sage is a solo spawn between 2 jail cells...root/rot him. He's a wizard and casts almost constantly unless he's in melee range. If you don't have good Fire Resist you probably are going to have a hard time with him(he's level 60). He's hit me for 400 in melee, so that's not really much of an option. He likes to root(fetter) and always casts draught of Jiva and a fire based lure spell(I can't remember the name). Under 200 FR I think he'd be tough, and if he roots you...it's over. Try and fd. You can kite him around the cells, the mobs in the middle will not agro, and this could be your best bet. Personally I kill him at his spawn point just keeping him rooted, since his spells don't land on me. I'll kite him, and try other ways and let ya know how it works.

The grimling arcanist spawns in the room just outside of the jail(take a left after leaving the jail) he spawns in the middle on the platform. The warlord and High priest are close by as well, in adjacent rooms. I've never had the warlord spawn when any of the 4 corner mobs in his/her room are up..I don't know if it's just coincidence(I haven't been there long) but it's 3/3 empty room, warlord spawns...A PH can still spawn after clearing the room, but I've never had it work the other way...having spawns up and the warlord spawn(READ, I got lazy and only killed the PH and that never worked for the warlord)
