Time and hit them with a mez when they respawn so they won't have rune/shielding. for knight, just make sure your pet eats the HT (open with root on him so he will lifetap you which will make pet aggro).

The ZEM is one of the largest ZEMs in the game, and you can simply jump off and gate (bind outside) or jump off and zone if things go bad.
This is easily the best exp in the game for the level. I did 34 to 40 in a weekend soloing there. At 39 the mobs go LB, but it's still awesome exp. At 40 you need to move to the deep basement or find a new home.

The hardest part is dealing with the middle spawn / knight named because he harm touches. The two hags on the opposite sides of the room are on standard outdoor timers. The middle spawn is on something close to a 25 minute spawn. When breaking the room, just charm the middle one after pacifying the room and send him in against one of the hags. I often would suicide one of them just to save mana to break the camp. There is a roamer outside in the hallway so it can be used as a pet against the named or you can kill it for exp too when you are closer to 40 and can handle the camp easily. Sitting by the pot in the room allows you be out of aggro range.

Ultimately, when dealing with the hags, the "secret" is using your lowest level AE stun spell Color Flux because it has a casting time of 1 second. Force Shock is 2 seconds I believe so you can beat any hag who is casting. ALWAYS DISPELL OR MEZ THEM BEFORE THEY THEY BUFF. This takes away about a third of their hps and puts them at under 550 hps or around 2 casts of Anarchy to die. I always would start out with Mez when they pop. (Remember they dont' start buffing for a tick when they spawn). If they are up, I cast dispell on them to take off Rune, Shielding, and DS. If you mez them after they are buffed, it goes to the bottom of their spell order so you can cast taper enchantment 3 times to clear all their buffs and still have them mezzed.

When engaging, I would run up next to the mezzed hag and cast anarchy. Immediately mash color flux until it refreshes, then take a couple steps back and start casting mez. The hag will almost always start casting instead of chasing you. You'll land the mez while they are casting and can then cast another nuke to kill them.

Repeat this process for hours and keep track of the named in the middle. I'd usually just charm a hag and send them into the named to eat the HT. You can break charm and kill both or just suicide one if you are feeling lazy or closer to level 34. Sometimes that's the wiser of the two. Yet if you are super twinked and have a high mana pool. Root nuking the named works too. Just remember to have something eat the 250pt HT. I think I had 20+ blood stained mantles and 3 blood stained tunics by time I was done.
