OK I ran across a post here explaining were to go to level weapons skill. It said to go to the cave at the Serpents coil in the blasted lands. Around 66 29. The guy doesn't die which is known....but he hits for a small amount of damage that if not attended to eventually will kill you.
Well I just wanted to let you know in the area that the ELITE is in that your fighting. It looks like a cabana or half ass tent, you will see some barrels and a ledge.
You can use the barrels to jump up on the ledge and there is a pole up there. just stand behind the pole and he stops casting or anything...you can then bandage or even leave combat after some time. This way you don't have to worry about Potions and even will allow lower HP players a chance to use him for weapon leveling. It will also allow you to change weapons easily.
I am posting this cause a mage complained saying it wasn't a good place for clothies. Well now you can patch up fine.
DON'T ASK FOR PICTURES
When you get there you will see what im saying plain as day.
