Plaguebone Thieves

Here is a suggestion for a good spot to camp lvls 44 to 49. The zone is the Dreadlands. The camp is in the lost valley just south of the spires to luclin. There is an abandoned empire with a HUGE set of spires and some pyramid type structures. If you head directly south from the luclin spires you should see it within a couple minutes. The mobs you will be camping are plaguebone thieves, a type of skeleton. The best part about this camp is the skeletons are totally NON ASSIST. So you can pull one, kill it, med up and then when you are ready, pull more. This camp is ideal for necro, pal, clerics, and perhaps shadowknights.
Here is what I do as a necro. I make a pet and set him to guard near where the grass meets the concrete. I then use the lvl 1 spell sense dead to obtain my target. I run in the direction of the mob until I can cast a spell, I pull with my undead slow. Once cast I run back to my pet. The mobs are inside the pyramid but no need to enter to pull them, you can pull through the wall. After a few seconds the mob will pop on top of me and my pet takes over. Once slowed and pet hasted its an easy fight. I get 1 percent every kill in lvl 46 and they respawn at a very nice rate.
I saw a cleric and war there duoing and they told me the cleric actually stacks his undead dots and nukes more than heals as its faster that way. Your mileage may vary but trust me, don’t overlook the advantages of a camp that you don’t have to search for mobs, that is safe, and with no wanderers. It’s a great camp so check it out. The xp runs out at 49 I’ve heard but I will definately be there until it does.

This works for clerics, too – most are still dark blue at 50. Pull with a nuke, root, dot, then nuke out, reroot if required, and med.
