Okay, thanks.
I have. At level. Mirys and Aerii both. For that matter, all of my characters save Ijii have soloed Proof is in the Poison at level as well.
As soon as you see a shaman, kill him, even if you have to go to the fort gate to do it. Those are the only critters that are really much of a threat.
You can get hirelings to activate switches for you by making them stand ground and you keeping the lever or switch locked in your target window.
Next time I can log in and see you on, or you see me, I have a few lowbies I can run it with anyone who needs. I miss people logging in often times so you do have to get my attention.
