I noticed a huge change particularly because of my playstyle. I almost
exclusively group with a cleric and monk yet the day before the patch they
were offline. So I decided to solo for the first time in over 12 levels.
Gulp. Well It worked well. I was able to take aviak rooks solo fairly
easily. I got bored so I went to the ruins in Qeynos hills and sat around
casting quickness and berserker strength on people there. So one time 3
dread skels and 2 putrids spawn and I jump in to save some people. It takes
a long long time but slowly they beat my health down as I allow the lower
levels time to kill them. Battle is over I have 3 bubbles of health. Now I
am level 28 and these are level 10-12 mobs.
Jump to yesterday. My friends still aren't online. I'm still at the ruins.
Same thing happens only with 2 dreads and one putrid. This time No ones
around and someone wants me to clear the sight so they can get to their corpse.
I step in and blam I start getting hit. Same 19 level difference but now I
am getting a LOT more 1 or 2 point hits then yesterday. A LOT. In fact I
can't even get a cast off for a period of over a minute and in about 1/5 the
time that it took the day before my health is now down 2 bubbles. This is
with only 2 dreads and 1 putrid as opposed to 3 dreads and 2 putrids the day
before that took 5 times as long to do the same damage and whom I could
EASILY cast through all their beatings on me because they rarely hit.
So point one I think the ATK values for mobs have gone up. Second point.
During the fight yesterday I actually got resisted twice by greens and that
hasn't happened in a long time. As you get out of the teens your resists
drop and I would say getting a green to resist occurs once in 30 casts.
Yesterday it was once in 8 to 10 casts.
