Now, some people may be wondering how it would be possible to farm Kylikki's tomb without
a) a full raid
b) having to worry about fighting 3-5 of these elite trash mobs at a time
c) running around like a bunch of retards because of the spellguard's AOE wiping people out
The answer is pretty simple: You will need a player that can survive a pull without dying in the first couple of seconds. A perfect setup for this would be a conquerer with his immunity skill up or a guardian with high enough HP to survive a couple of hits. And here is what you do step by step:
1. Everyone gathers in a corner or the stairs out of reach for any kind of aggroing
2. The puller shoots the priest in the group of mobs you targeted. Why the priest you ask? Read on!
3. The puller runs to a corner out of aggroing range for the group -> Mobs come chasing you expcet for the spellguard who buffs up
4. The puller activates the defense skills needed to survive a few seconds
5. Try to stay alive yourself until the Spellguard teleports to you - and he will do that
6. The Spellguard will now cast his AOE and you will die *during* the phase he goes all out
7. Now what will happen is: Everything but the spellguard (a priest sometimes stays too) will run back to its original position.
8. Let someone raise you from a safe distance.
You might ask: "Cool, what's the point? I still have the nasty spellguard there?". Yes you do, however, he will not use his AOE again making him an easy prey for ganking and safe killing. After the spellguard is dead, shoot the priest of the group you targeted next. With a little bit of luck, he will come all alone by himself without the rest of the group.
This trick works on all the groups you will encounter on your way to kylikki. Just make sure the puller is all alone by himself and out of aggro range for any other member of the alliance. If someone else aggros, the whole thing for some unknown reason won't work anymore.
Using this method it's perfectly possible to farm the dungeon with about 8 people. It of course takes a while to kill them after they have been split but the drop rate for epic class-girldes is fairly high. Might be worth your time.
This by the way is not a basic game mechanic and might be fixed in one of the upcoming patches. Use it while you can...
