I never had any problem with those missions, but they may have become tougher since last I played them.

In general, focus fire on the imps. A mesmer teammate is great to have against them, or as MeatFarts said anything that deals cold damage. (I've got an Icy Bow string if anyone wants it). I'd load up my healer and help out but I'm tied up the next two nights.

Farming: Depends. If you're looking for warrior or monk solo areas, I have quite a few. As an invinci-monk I farm Elona Reach (the mission for minotaur), outside of Elona Reach for Sand Drakes, Both portals outside of Augury Rock for either Hydra or Desert Griffons or Minotaur, and the cave just a little way NW of Droknar's Forge for Mountain Troll. I find the best runs are the Mountain Trolls and the Desert Griffons.

You could also try to fit yourself to a 5-man Orozar farm group out of Deldrimor War Camp, though I haven't tried it yet so I can't say what it's like.

Edit: MeatFarts, they did update the enemy AI. They now run from any AoE spell. Annoying, but it is effective when you need to break their fire so the healer can catch up.

I'd never played a Civ before, and laughed when I saw the alarm in Civ IV. Now I use it.
