What the value of binding on the roof? Can I get access to the catwalks from there without lev in the event of a CR?

Also how would it work with regards to lathing mobs coming for you if you hate. Would you have enough time to camp out agro?

Sorry for all the stupid questions - played a defensive shaman for my career so this soloing business is fairly new to me.
Main benefit is saving your shrink pots to get back up. I don't know if Barb has this issue. I know Trolls and Ogre need shrink to get up. If you die up there you can jump across onto ledge from roof to get body. Or drop down and use corpse drag. The ledge is not high enough to decline the drag.

I would never attempt to gate and log if I saw trouble, because you are going to train Black Reavers on the zone if mobs chase after you. With lev up can just sprint to zone-line and zone if your in trouble then gate back to top of arena from EJ. This way any mistakes you make dont cost you 15-20 mins of play time.

Just Heal after you zoned and gate back med up for a minute and start fighting again. 5 mins vs 15+mins on recovery. Also it gives you a bit of confidence because you know if things go bad can just get right back to xping. There were times I should have zoned off mobs but stayed because I did not want to have to fight temple mob/shrink/invis back up and agro immediately when I get there.
