First a couple of things that always apply to pveing. Debuffing the mob for the method you're killing them can make them ridiculously easier. Finding spots to hide and stat before you need to is a good plan, and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS BRING A SKINNER AND SKIN. If new, you have no idea how much money is just left on decaying corpses. Some of these mobs skins are worth 1200 gold alone.

Very Easy Mobs for new characters or the lazy
Salamanders
