Having some guild interest in the Elemental Stone aug (which is a reward for this quest) and knowing there was some interest on a necro board for the Ring of Soaring Spirits I checked out the zone a bit with my Bst/Dru combo. Understand that by checking it out I really just mean killing a few mobs and checking track at the zone in :)

Mobs hit for ~600. With my 2 70 toons running 90% AA xp the mobs gave 1 blue AA xp which isn't bad in my book but did have a bit o hp relative to how fast I was taking them down (Dru cast cheal twice; was casting at ~50%). They did not summon. Based on track from the zoneline the mobs were either db or even cons. The air models can drop this crazy ass spin deal on you that drives you nuts; the water mobs seemed to be clerics. There is a walker (fire) who can path all the way to the zone line but seems to do that every other trip. The first static pull is a single. The rest after that were doubles but didn't go overly deep nor did I pet pull. Since the zone is *right* behind you I would usually pull to the first round room right past the entrance and before the first static mob, snare with the druid, zone, come back and kill. You can AE in this room w/o issues (if you have that at your disposal). Drawing from my sprints through the joint before the MM was changed I can't think of a place you could really kite (if you have that at your disposal). On top of that this is an old school zone with old school pathing issues......

(now that I say that I wonder if you could pull mobs into the water and swim kite w/o ever getting hit)

....on top of that the mobs are really stacked on top of each other in here. There might be a spot or 3 that you could probably set up a pull to camp assuming you could get through the place invis (did not check).

So - anyone have any more info to share?

Pulling this place is crazy, mostly because of the horrendous pathing.  I wanna say the Air eles are not mezzable, but I can't swear it.  I know for certain one of the types is non-mezzable.

Make sure snare's on good, else they will path away and get assisted and horribly train you ie, I'm betting taig has pet snare going to back up Dru snare, least I certainly would.

For just a grind, the ZI is a good spot.  If you are attempting to complete the quest though, you will need to bring a tracker & crawl through the zone.

Actually I de-memed snare off the Druid a while back because I found fetter to work 99% of the time. Will have to see about grouping my 63 Nec and Cleric with Taig here. Like you said though, a tracker would be needed.
