You had to know the pathing, that was a biggie. Like at one time I could tell you when a mob in blackburrow would run, and where he would run to, and what path he would take.
Not sure I can help with this thread. Kunark mobs seem to have too many hp's for my pitiful EC tunnel weapons to deal with. So I mainly soloed in the classic zones.
I never really found a good spot in Velious, so I avoided that expansion unless I was in a group or something. Guess it was different for classes that could Sow and snare. I tried soloing in Iceclad to do some of the quests and the cats would run. If you had a bad stretch on the RNG you wouldn't kill it in time and you would get an add.

I remember I got my bard's SS BP around level 50. He wasn't a twink but I had some influence on getting him a raid slot since bards were in short supply. Anyways, I would take his lambent / SS wearing ass with his Yaks to Lower Guk and solo the mobs between safe hall and AM / Lord. Just spamming the bp, which would heal me for 100 HP every 6 seconds. This was back when bard's could cast ANYTHING while moving. So I never had to worry about getting interruptions.
I think I ended up getting him to 55 or 56 there. Oh those were the days
