Question - Damage Shield Druid Power Leveling advice

[eqmule]

I leveled up a Druid on ragefire to level 50 and now I'm looking for some advice form the old schoolers here cause It's been a really long time since I did ds druid PL and I could use some suggestions of old world mobs that won't run at low health.

The criteria:
1. It must be a classic zone, no expansions like kunark etc.
2. The mobs must NOT run at low health when fighting you by themself.
3. Preferably quick respawn or lots of mobs to pull.
4. No root, No snare, no pulling multiple mobs to take advantage of the "mobs will only run when they are the last one" code.

I have currently done 1-16 in Unrest yard, exp was quick and mobs don't run away, now I'm looking for the next zone/mobs to get from 16-34 at which point I can just stick my little wiz in my level 50 group...

have you tried kithicor? Might be a little much, but the mobs there are ~30 and undead.

oh, or the spectres at the tower in SRo?

 

[Razkle]

basically any undead as I recall

Thing about running it used to be that even regular mobs would not run until there would be just one of its own type left.

The hard part would be determining what exactly is "its own kind". So rats and bats are probably different types.

Still this could open up a lot more areas than just undead.

EDIT: I need to read the whole OP

doesn't fit your "doesn't run" criteria, but back in the day I would have went to Sol A for 16-30ish. Always thought that zone had a great xp bonus.

You can do skeletons on garg isle in OOT until around 22-23. Kithicor mobs are mid 30s-low 40s and there are healers in the mix so that wouldn't work well. Also specters run so they wouldn't work either.

I'm adding mobs to this thread as I find them:

A burnt guardian level range: 19-21 mob in lava storm : doesn't run, respawn: 5 mins.

Could possibly head to Rathe mountains to kill the skellies there, they are ~20. Not too plentiful though.

I took my toons to The Great Divide at 24. Should have gone earlier.
The giants hit softly but give great xp.
At 30 I went into Thurg.
I killed guards by the entrance until 34 and KoS.

I sat my toons AFK with a tank merc fully buffed in the guard tower (enter the city, turn left).
I was 44 in about 2 hours just coming back to rebuff DS occasionally.

At 44 I went to the Hole.

I was there about 3 hours and got to 54.

Then it was on to PoI.

This is for a TLP server, so the only zone accessible that you mentioned is The Hole.
