I hate the damn things myself, I refuse to ever go back to Runnyeye. Every
time I've gone there I've died at least 3 times. I seem to have a lot more
success in Perma and Sol A though. Bear in mind that we haven't been to the
king side yet and all the mobs we're facing would probably be green to you,
but a good group is the key element. And anyone who wants to try this
place, one thing -- MAKE DAMN SURE YOU HAVE SOMEONE THAT CAN ROOT!!! Chains
works wonders here. Its the difference between big rewards and big death
tolls. Also, I know they are a relatively underappreciated class, but our
rogue is the man in these places! With his hide and sneak skill he keeps us
from running headlong into masses of baddies. He has become our number one
asset for dungeon crawls. I won't go into a dungeon without him anymore.

P.S. Kitasi, I forgot to tell you, make sure your puller uses ranged weps to
pull, I've had a couple of the gobs (flame and fire) here get me with
backstabs for 120 plus.
