Ok, yes, thats true.
I'm lvl 60 pld/war.

Most of it is irrelevant, we're skipping straight to the Davoi party. In summary, needs lots of people, or a good handful of highlvls. I'll pop the mobs, we'll take out the ranger, then take out the paladin, and that should be it. I've heard everything from needing 18 at around lvl 60 to maybe 4-5 at 75.
Paladin Orc NM, 7500hp and {Invincible}:
