The other problem I've run into with the rez method is the monks only rezzed a couple of the dead guys, so even if they gave points after death, there were substantially fewer guys to kill the 2nd time around....
Bounties
All bounties are available in hard mode, even if the "cut-off" point is already reached in normal mode. This allows players to reach the maximum tier for the Lightbringer and Sunspear rank title. The bounty mechanics are somewhat different in hard mode, with an additional bonus for killing bosses, but no double XP. For further details see: Bounty.
Guys i have a simple answer to all your worries-HARD MODE. Turn that on and you get all the bounties you want for sunspear and lightbringer farming plus many more points per creature. Try the sulferous wastes north of the gates of desolation and take undead bounty quest-over 500 points in under 7 mins.
