Ninja buff to Aboleth overseer

OK, I could be imagining things, but I am fairly sure that something has changed in the last 2 patches about that fight. I have done it 6 or so times, without major issues, but tonight, it was flat out not possible. Mobs trashed me in 3 or 4 seconds, even the aboleth servant who used to deal very little damage now hit for a fair bit, and seemed to be MUCH faster and harder to knock.

I could blame it on party composition, but we had a lot of changes and the result was the same. I am convinced there HAS been some kind of change.

Anyone else has noticed?

    Did this yesterday, had no issues whatsoever. I have see the servitors actually hit once or twice, but as far as I could tell, no major changes.

    That said we were overgeared, we killed everything, and the fight was under 5 minutes, so I could not be the best judge.

    It's hard to say and it would be really difficult to test. However I ran Karru using my DC the other night and had some very well geared players including a top GWF. It seemed like everyone was taking more damage. My cleric is pretty tanky but she might as well have been wearing green gear. The rest of the party was dying a lot. I've healed in that dungeon quite a bit, so unless I was just having an off night, something seemed to be different. Last night in MD, another GWF who I know to be pretty tanky got one shotted by a Shocktroop. Maybe it was a crit, maybe there was something else going on? Again though, it's still not proof of anything. Could be a series of coincidences or anything.

    I can't say I've noticed any changes, but people I talk to say it's gotten tougher, especially with border line geared pugs in Karru and SP.

    i dont think its gotten any tougher just 4 manned it earlier this morning with my wiz, the dc dropped after 2nd boss, and im not very experienced nor geared with with him ( at that moment i just had the t2 chest so yeah the helm finally dropped :D) rest of the team was in similar gears....

    Only thing that hit considerably hard were those mobs that cast aoes with knockback

    So they allegedly buffed Karru and SP while everybody runs FH and ToS to the ground? Just look up the amount of Armor and Arms vs. Head and Feet set items in the AH to know why that doesn't make sense.

    Although this thread is highly speculative, I generally think it's a bad idea to adjust the older dungeons to the current gear level, lowly characters in pugs already had a hard time to beat T2 content.

    Did it in PUG run with 1 CW, didn't notice any change.

    Hearing this and that, very unspecific. Could be fuss.

    Two spellplague runs, nothing special. Got one-shot by driders as a cleric twice this week though. If they buffed something it may be the NPCs ability to crit. That may just be me though, I've been doing more silly things during these runs. Might have gotten a debuff on me from some random HAMSTER mob.

    The game is still a faceroll, so, it's working as intended.

    I didn't noticed anything other than one of it's abilities leaving me prone. Still the same harmless squid leech.

    What people have to keep in mind the adds also have RnG. So sometimes they may crit harder than other times etc. It's just best not to stand in any of it:)
