the experience here is seriously ridiculous. i have been charm kiting the flies and get like 1 percent normal exp per kill. just basic charm, get 3 mobs killing it, then invis when its about 10% to break charm and kill.

The experience you can get in the plane of disease is absolutely insane. I'm a 52 bard that has been soloing in there off and on now for the past few weeks. Just by chant kiting the rats and oozes I can gain a full yellow in a little over a half hour. I don't know what Verant was thinking when they made this zone. :lol

It's risk vs reward. The mobs on the new planes are higher levels. That's why you seem to get more xp in PoD than say Seb or Velks. In those zone mobs are high 40's to low 50's. In PoD the mobs are low 50's and up. You should get more xp for killing mob close to or above your level.

Would it be crazy for a lvl 49 bard to chant kite here?

if you're careful then no. I was hunting here at 47. You can chant kite flies or rats at your level. Just stick to the areas near the zone in and be very careful of adds. If a spider agros on you make for the zone ASAP. As a side note, you have to be careful when chant kiting singles in any plane. After they start running they will regen as much as 40% of their health if you get too far away very quickly. The key is to spay attention to when they start running and make sure you don't get too far away or to kite multiples at once. One final warning, chant kiting takes 5 to 6 minutes a mob here so be prepared to spend some time. The xp makes it more than worth it though.

correction, this experience is great if your 60 or below. once oyu get tothe higher tier zones youll think it sucks ars.

Well, I did it and made a yellow in about 30 minutes or so. Was getting almost a blue per kill. Unfortunately I then died twice. When one of those spiders agroed on me, I had no chance to run. They open with root and then I was toast. Think I will go back at 51. hehe. Pretty cool place though.

The XP in PoD has been great at 55. Getting 1% per kill on rats, or 2 flies. Avoid the spiders and diseased Malarians - insta smack on those :( The bugs etc will regen up to 40% (I've had em jump to 50%) if you get out of melee range when they're below 20% HP. Easiest I've found is to twist in Chains (23) or Binding (51) at 22%, and at about 18% (on a single) you can just stand there, melee a bit if ya want, till dead. Chains (23) doesn't always take, but had no prob with Binding (51). I also haven't had much luck with the AE snare Strane (54). Too iffy if you're quading, least as I've seen.

insane it is...let's see i went from 55 to 59 in a span of 5-6 days i believe...i will hit 60 tomorrow..GUARANTEED! Swarm kiting flies and all...sigh who said soloing wasnt fun? Let's just say i have no life i guess..but oh well im 60 baby!! Blues 59th bard on drinal
