Pookas get me with the 'kneel stunned' maneuver about once per hunt. I do hunt in offensive, but I use ;combo, and it goes defensive when it gets done killing its target. Since pookas swarm pretty good, that's normally when I get nailed.
I've been working out the kinks on running him with my wizard along for the ride, then I'm going to start doing the REIM runs again. In the interim, though, I'm just eschewing other hunting grounds in favor of undead as much as humanly possible. Though I'll say... it'll be nice when I graduate to a hunting ground with decent treasure. I'm averaging 18.5k per hunt, pretty consistently. When I use my bard (level 39), I get 3-4 times as much, and he doesn't skin things. I know pookas are notoriously poor, but I'm skipping Elder Tree Spirits (because the hell with that), and there isn't anything else quite in my level range that I'm aware of off the top of my head. REIM loot is horrifically bad, so that's not even a good option.
I'd love to hunt Gargoyles, but they're non-undead, magic resistant, and fall on you. For a cleric/wizard team, that seems like a great way to die a lot while not accumulating favor. Fenghai in Solhaven are decent, but they have Tree Spirits running around, too. For now I'm staying the course, but looking forward to the day when I can get at least somewhat better treasure.
