Do the summoned skeletons give XP ? (:

I'm not quite there yet in my boosting group, but I'd do dead Stratholme over Scholomance with a protection Paladin. Too many annoying mobs in Scholomance like the green gas clouds, or the exploding corpses, endless waves of skeletons, etc. Although, I am not sure if you can still do this but it used to be possible to pull a huge part of the instance by tossing a bomb down off the bridge at the start, and waiting. If you can survive it, might be great xp

I don't really find the Gargoyles to be a problem, and to deal with the Eye of Naxxramas just make yourself a macro to replace your normal Exorcism button like this:

/target eye
/cast Exorcism

I ran some lower level guys through live Stratholme recently, it's not too bad but everything runs away, and there's a lot of casters that nuke or melee guys that randomly charge your other party members. We had a few people get KO'd by the battle mages or by getting charged by 4-5 melee guys in quick succession.
