These mobs are easily taken down by druids, Necros, and enchanters. though it is time consuming and sometimes very exciting
.From what I have heard melee classes take alot of damage from them and It is probably not worth the extra time to try taking them on that way. I went up there with Billings and got the whole set in 4 days time just by grouping with the druids that were there trying to get their full set of armor. There is decent info on Allakahzam's that tells you how to pull them and then how to fight the buggers. I also had Hud help me two evenings. His job was to root the mob while I dotted, which made life much easier on me. I think the hardest part was trying to pick the skellys out as they tend to blend in with the scenery. Root and dot works well against them and charm fighting works also. Not sure how long charm will hold on them as I was not grouped with the Enchanter , but I did see it being done one of the nights. During the time I spent there I didn't see anyone trying to fight them toe to toe. I believe the scavangers at zone in drop some melee armor.Not sure how good it is though. They would probably be a good canidate for the melee smack down approach.
