I had my first PoN experience last night. Alas it wasn't solo, but with a group of 60+s from my guild. We were doing slargs or something on this small sloping cliff. They were armadillo like amphibians that were supposedly druids. I had a real trouble dispelling their DS, in fact never did. Finally ended up backing off and chanting them to avoid making the cleric work on yet another body pummeled by the DS. It worked out GREAT for exp though, fastest exp I've had grouping. Too bad our cleric had to leave before we could get to zone and had no evacer. Debating how to get to zone we got a pop that wiped us. In hind sight I recommended that we just Travel Song out of there because it is doubtful that anything could catch us. Considering where we died, it is VERY convenient that 15 min after death all corpse get magically ported to the graveyard at zone in. A nice cleric with clicky stick got us back up.
Must say that the place doesn't look too scary from the terrain, unlike PoD.
