Exping in Hate

We finally got everything lined up to venture into Hate. My first trip since the revamp made it an exp zone. Still images of horrible wipes played in our heads as we zoned in and looked cautiously around. I have an excellent map of Hate created by Rangers coming to look for the Shattered Emerald of Corruption to complete their epic. I had the spawns I wanted to pull, the spawns that will add, the pull routes and the camp all mapped out. And all the info was perfectly on. We had abolutely no trouble dispatching many of Inny's minions. Sadly, we only got one mini on my list to pop and she didn't drop the gem. I didn't figure I would be that lucky. Since I had the boys, we only stayed about 2 hours. However, they were 2 good hours. We got 10% real, level 65, exp. Plus, I split about 1500pp among the group. Everything drops cash. Plus there are some nice (non-epic) quests to be done there. Also, since it costs 62.5pp per group to port in, there was no one else in the zone.

Pathing, though 'fixed', is still odd at best. And everything there HTs or casts or otherwise abuses the puller. Well, that is what heals are for :) We will be going back. In fact, at least until I get my SEoC, it will me my prefered exp spot (if a wizzie is handy).
