Maze engine's later chapters kills Minsc and others too easy.

those Bulettes just kill Knox and Celestie one shotted, and those air/water generals just threw Minsc and drizzt like rag dolls.
hard to believe that they are the "legends of forgotten realms" that died too easy.

i was doing solo, and it is almost too hard to rezz, and had to depend on my pet to self-rezz to buy me time to reach them and to rezz, and they get instantly went down. i was playing GF tact, staying alive.

i see no way to possible to solo as healer, or other squishy class since they are forced consistially on the run, unable to cast anything when need to stop and to cast. this is poor game engine compared to eq2 or asheron's call 1 and 2 when they can run-cast.

these later chapters of Maze Engine should warn several players that it isnt solo for specific classes and they would need and required other player partnerships.
also be prepare with stacks of potions.

those end-zone bosses are more brutal than those 2 nalfense demon pig brothers.

    That is good news. Finally some challenge for my DC. At least i will try solo it first. Strongly disagree that certain DC and Paladin healer builds are squishy.

    My GWF just slaughtered everything and reveled in his triumph over their dying bodies until they got better.

    sorry, i didnt say paladins, i mean for DC, CW, and HR may have troubles with them.

    My DC and CW breezed through it. Took a little longer on my DC, but still a quick painless experience. Just dodge and avoid the red. Leave the NPCs, they auto revive after the fight. The little damage they add is meaningless anyway.

    I had to solo it with my CW. Drizzt and Minsc wandered off to chat. They never fought. In fact, I couldn't see them, either.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    If you are soloing and struggling as DC then sunburst is your best friend, not only does it keep the others alive for longer, but the added crowd controls makes a big difference. Since I also have a low geared GF, I agree it is nightmarish to impossible, think of playing the GF as playing in hard mode.

    Shouldn't you be happy that Minsc is getting murdered after what he put you through in EE?

    That's not his fault. That's the stupid druid's fault. "Blah blah tree blah blah seeds blah blah suffer fool..."

    I dunno, I kinda like seeing them get thrashed while I remain standing because -I- like being the hero. :P

    If you were playing your GF properly you would have aggro and Celeste could get on and do her job - which is basically nothing.

    Apparently her job is rudely interrupting Knox.

    What are these later chapters?

  • throsbithrosbi Member Posts: 291 Arc User
    When I run thru these it was hilarious watching these 'heros' turned to zeros and get smashed, who wants a righteous boot to face now?

    Now that i think about it, makes me want to run it again just to see them get smashed ... again!

    But... Its cheesy. Only my TR used some pots, but he has no armor/weapon enchants and ~2.3k il without them. My 2.5k CW with frost enchant (ye, hes an alt) stomp it. Righteous (low-heal...) DC killed it in HP set... Forgot to change.

    Why don't you... keep playing the campaign and find out when you get to them?
