hate healer mobs!Follow

I got that all access deal so I decided to finnally look at the first adventure pack since I never did it. Well anyways after spending about a hour clearing trash mobs I start working on the tombstones. First few was easy enough used my ward a couple of times, about half my power and the mobs go down.

Then I get ahold of the pure healers (ones casting smite). Not only do they hit just as hard as a figher mob, but they actually heal themselves faster then I can hit them. I just think its BS that a healer mob has so much power. I ended up having to quit and lost my entire progress that took me nearly 2 hours because I ran out of power, heals, lay of hands, etc due to a blasted healer mob. I swear they infinite heals just about and like I said hitting like a blasted fighter.

Anyways Im just ticked and wanted to scream. It is no wonder so few people use these adventure packs though. Every one of them has underconned mobs for there level. Splitpaw saga is prob even worse with your SOLO groups of 5 gnolls complete with a healer to heal, scouts to stun you constantly, and casters to nuke you to death.

I've only died one time in Splitpaw. Near the beginning of the solo Hargrave instance, (after you use the first board to cross the chasm and then light the first 2 torches), I entered the first cave, started a fight and then caught a wandering pair of adds, so I was trying to fend off four even-con gnolls, all at the same time. Needless to say, I gave it a heroic attempt but in the end, I folded up like an oragami swan!

I think the upper tunnels are cake! After you've been through it once or twice you know where all the mobs are and how to deal with them. A solo run through takes about an hour and is worth around 15% of a level. I use the upper tunnel run as an ATM since chests drop like rain and you can almost always get a half dozen adept ones and a half dozen advanced recipe books as drops in each trip.

I own the first adventure pack but I never got into it so I can't say how well, (or poorly), I would have done in there...

I usually do try and stun them when they cast, however these mobs was 4 levels higher then me and had no down arrow (so basically a tough solo mob to start with). I had killed about 7 of them, but they was all warriors, mages, scouts. I had little problem on them other then the annoying stuns from the scout. I hate to drop my defensive stance cause I got the master 1 version of it and I get 14.4 defense for the 6 melee I lose plus a huge bonus to magic and divine resists as well as physical resists.

Something I found out which really relieves me is the instanced zone was not based on my level (I thought it was). So I am sure if I went back in there say in 3 levels Id probably be just fine. Still annoying though to spend so much time in there and then have to run and zone because of a overpowered healer mob. I guess I do have the exp and minor loot to show for it (never did get any of the named to drop loot though).
