CR Scaling

Unread post by Wolfrayne »

Ok so far i have had no problem with the way the mobs spawn, some are tougher than others and its all cool and good fun, then i was told about this. so i figured i would go check it out.

This is way over the top. you get a couple of shamans together in xvarts (which is common) and this thing will ruin anyones day. it can solo the bear spirit and all his little friends without getting hit at almost any stage and there are very few people who can actually kill this thing for a CR15 area?

at least that is in a CR 15 area.. it also spawns in goblin mine.. i was level 10 and got a beatdown..major beatdown. i could not hit that thing at all.

i did have to run from a group of 3 spidy shammies in xvarts one yellow. that was a big nope fish.

If that's a sword spider, it's a bug, (errr), and is being corrected.

Better would be to change their class from druid, should they be druids? I don't think so. There's gnoll druids too for example, even though they're called shamans.
They should be spirit shamans no? its a druid without shapes. that would make WAAAAAAY more sense.

It's a mistake which one of the devs (dedude?) has already submitted a fix for the next update. They were being given Epic Magical Beast Shape when they should only have been given Plant Shapes.

I say it's much more realistic gaming if, once and a while, PCs need to run away from a foe they can't kill. At this point in the Server, almost all Players expect to munch up all Areas and all mobs with their lowbie but epically twinked toons, and I not that, newbies complain the Server is to hard, and any real difficulty is removed.
