Necro Shadowed Men Solo

[Axoc]

So I've only looked at the Lavastorm shadowed men but they are in a group of 6 there, all within social range of each other. Is there another place where they come in smaller packs? I'm trying to do my Temple of Solusek Ro quests, all 4 of which require Shadowed Men drops.

I know about the mez+snare+FD trick to split packs into manageable numbers, but I've heard that they can outrun SoW and splitting 6 of them, several of whom are casters, sounds like an easy way to kill myself.
