Would prefer to stay on the mainland and be able to use the hunt command. Skinning isn't a must, but would be nice.

Young gryphons. I can't get evasion to move beyond 10-15/34 or so. Everything else locks up nicely, but I need evasion to level and it has slowed down dramatically. Before 3.0 hit I could barely handle 3 young gryphons without getting tons of bleeders, but I would lock evasion in a heartbeat. Now evasion has slowed down and they rarely touch me. I've even started using heavy edge which is at 190 (woot melee mastery) just to have something else to train while evasion slugs along.

Have you tried altering your stances? With your skills, I would definitely be 100% Evasion, and divide Parry and Shield evenly?

You might be able to pull off maulers/warklins, but I'm not positive with 3.0. With Instinct and SOTT, you should be safe there.

Stay away from maulers, I'm taking lumps in their with over 600 defenses with forms and berserks up.

Young gryphons are still teaching evasion at 489, but the learning rate is staying around 1 or 2. I always target the fledglings first which boosts learning a bit since fledglings cap somewhere lower than 489.
