On the second boss in ZA you can skip the gauntlet or remove spawning mobs by doing a few techniques.
#1: Start the gauntlet with main tank, position a hunter at the back, right about were the warriors spawn, let him/her aggro them without their pet and then feign death, if done properly and without heals/interferience they should not spawn from the rear.
#2: When you enter the gauntlet go right near a waterfall, it should aggro the 2 mobs up there and thus starting the gauntlet without going up the scout, make sure you are the only one in ther instance because everyone aggro's to you and your group and you die and the scout will despawn for about 2 mins and you can skip him. Haven't tried this out thoroughly and effectively enough to know any definate outcomes.
#3: Havn't tried this yet but someone mentioned it in my ZA group, he said book it up the gauntlet not killing shit and die. Close enough to the final mob to not start the gauntlet, far enough that ankh/soulstone rez won't aggro him. Rez then kill the final mob then binga bonga you just got a repair bill and saved lots of time. *Note for your retards out there* Just because your awesome and read this post and decided to try it and wiped. Don't blame it on the post!
