You need a rogue. Or some creativity...

Like I said, "or" some creativity. It's a pit, with a ledge around the
outside. Flux/knockbacks, creative levitation tricks, creative use of
illusions, etc., will all get you out.

If you lack creativity, bring a rogue. =)

Well,hard to do when the group standing in the pit is made of
Ranger,Pally,Monk. =)
And I doubt all these old "flux/knockbacks, creative levitation
tricks, creative use of illusions,etc" still works.
I failed 2 times the last months with different raids to bypass
the locked doors in CoM towers,saw casters trying everything
and it didnt work.

Yup. Levitate fall rate is tied to system speed. Faster machines fall
slower.

Which does not explain how I was always able to pull it off on my old
machine when other people with far superior machines could not.
