Gates of Discord is mainly geared toward level 60+ guild encounters. However there is the Natimbi zone which has become a favorite solo hunting ground of my level 55 (now 58) necro.
Not only is the experience great, but the loot and quest drops here are excellent.
I aggro kite most mobs in this zone, as it gives me better control over the mobs path than fear kiting. Dooming darkness, splurt, BoD, then send you untauned pet when the mobs are around 95%. You should keep aggro this way. They hit hard and run fast, but have low hitpoints.
I would stick with the turtles, potameids, reef crustactions, and restless souls. The other mobs are either nasty casters or run fast as sow. I also use dooming darkness to snare as its a faster cast time and lasts just as long as Cascading. The mobs have high mr, so you may have to try darkness several times. I used splurt and ignight blood as they land almost all the time. Recast darkness when the mob is at 50%. Aggro kiting is much safer, unless you learn fear routes mobs take at certain spots.
Since hunting there, I have gotten a Regen 3 shield, a flowing thought 1 neckpiece, an Aura Of Battle neckpiece, 3 range III veils, and numerous other goodies.
You can solo the undead soul camp, and also keep the reef crustations spawns in the river clear. This will give you a chance for 2 named mobs to pop, both of which drop hp/mana gem augments. (perfect on PvP server).
The best item I obtained via a quest was the Shield of Coastal Purity w/regen 3. You need a siren heart, fin, and tounge from the potameids. The potameids are out at sea, but I will tell you how I pulled them without a tracker.
Straight across the river from the magus camp at the bottom of the hill is where I pulled the potameids to. There is a large rock along the shorline over that hill you can pull to and use as a reference.
Keep DMF fresh, and head Southwest from the rock. I jammed autotarget until I got some sea mobs targeted. Once targeted, you can levitate at a certain spot right at top of of water and look down to see everything clearly.
Look around and keep autotargeting till you see a potameid. Pull with splurt and stay on top of water. Head back to the rock (NEast) and pull the potameid over the hill to your camp.
Make sure you dont outrun it, as you will move faster above water than it can swim (with sow/jboots). Keep casting a quick spell while running to make sure it is still in range.
It took me about a week of off and on hunting but I finally got it. Great experience and a nice item with regen. Works great paired with a Z Heart for necros.
Once you find the general area of the sirens, mark your ingame map so you can return there. The mobs are not static, but with the method above you should be able to find them without a tracker.
What I like best about this zone is I get experience and a shot and some good loot at the same time. Some of these items take some time to obtain, but when you are getting great exp at the same time it makes it that much better.
Happy hunting!
