Please put Lifesteal back to the way it was, or scale back the power on these mobs.
Level 64 now, doing level-appropriate quests in the new areas, and yes I know how to Shift/Dodge. Even so, getting real sick and tired of being at 20-50% health after every second or third encounter. Beating them is np, but all it takes is one or two hits and my health plummets. It's absurd.
I have a Lifesteal rating of 2150, equating to 8.1% and it is simply insufficient. You wanted to make the new maps more challenging? Great, you did it. You wanted to make Lifesteal less powerful? Great, you did it. Both together? No, now you're just being killer DM's.
Tell your tabletop D&D group, 'Oh btw, I'm sending you into encounters that hit twice as hard as before, with half the healing. Don't have a Cleric with you? Don't have tons of hp? Oh well, sucks to be you! Hyuk hyuk!' And see what happens. Once you weather the barrage of pencils and trash thrown at you, you'd lose most of your players. Same here.
The maintenance today would be a great place to start.

no more facetrolling is over, now u play as a group, just like a swat team trying to capture criminals, a single swat acannot capture all the criminals
regards
I have a feeling the glass cannon, run into a group and AOE everything without any worries people are going to be hit the hardest on this one. However, they spent to much time on it now to roll it back.
......qq !!!
i know that is not gonna happen but this pill is **** hard to swallow.
BTW
HEART of the red dragon broken
ring of dragon slayer broken
Standard artifacts broken while in scaling areas
dragon bone swirl and whirl scale above 60 I would say at 62-63 they will eclipse tier 2 weapons...
scaling has several bugs one such bug at 60 I had after being scaled to 70 110k hp upon leveling to 61 that dropped to 52k I went back and am now in level 61 blues spec for hp and deflection now I have 75k after scaling.
Now then before we continiu, tell us exactly what paragon and featpath of ranger you're playing.
A glasscanon should die as easy as it kills, which you seem to be doing. Adapt, stop whining.
I realize some people like to be extremely challenged, some people like to have challenging group battles, in my opinion that is what hard core and epic encounter scenarios are for. Those of us who want to come home from work and let off a little steam by slagging some mobs, would like to continue playing the game we've played for years, without it being an epic frustrating struggle, ( I get that in rush hour traffic twice a day).
I get the fact that in combat healing was nerfed to create a desire for the paladin class. That really ticks me of, many of us spent a lot of time, and in some cases money, building characters that could heal themselves with regen and lifesteal, I'm not going through the time and effort to trash all my high level dark enchantments and start over. There are too many fantasy MMOs to choose from, if I have to start from scratch I might as well switch to one that won't change the basic mechanics of the game once I've reached the top.
+1 /10chars
That tactic is no longer viable in this new mod. Learn the new tactic and win or just quit if you cannot adapt.
So no problems here. and regen rework is even better cause a go regen with tanky builds and take healer companion and i get heal just as if i were traveling with a DC lad.
So pls stop your crybaby stuf and grow arms and brains willya.
I have 2 chars with a former GS of 17k and they walk through the new content without any need for healing potions. While Facerolling.
I also have a char with former GS 15k and though I need to be careful I have used up 3 Greater Healing Potions for the content of the complete first map (Earth).
All chars have LS of 1500 or less and for gear T2 / Draconic Templar, no last 2 boons of Tiamat and no enchantment better than lvl 7.
The same problems OP talks about were what I had in the beginning while leveling my first two characters. Problem was solved when I knew how to use my abilities and powers properly, choose the right skills and got some better equipment (somewhere around lvl 20).
And when at lvl 60 I also had to adapt to be able to beat the new content. Ever tried to be succesful in epic LoL with a group of 14k chars? Ever wondered why a mere Iron Golem could kill you with one hit? If yes, what did you do to solve that? Tell Cryptic, the content is to hard?
If you are sure, you have reached the maximum skill using your powers and playing defensively (including dodging and the like), then suit up. There is new Equipment with better stats (as was there when you reached lvl 20). Try the Vendor at Well of Dragons. He sells blue equipment with a huge HP bonus.
Also I don't understand, why everyone seems to be talking about starting from scratch?
I did not have to level all my characters again from 1-60, did not have to auiqre all the artefacts and companions again, did not have to get all these diamonds agin. Just have to beat new harder content while gaining 10 new levels, getting new power points and skill points investing in newer stronger powers and skills. And perhaps I will suit up soon, trying out some of the new stronger equipment, that drops all the time.
With mobs of MY LVL i got about 10% chance, and my rating is 1075... im CW..
IF I FIGHT AGAINS LVL HIGH MOBS THAT STAT GOES DOWN.
Its a new engine, im going fine, and i like the new mod6
I just dont know why i got more than 2k gs and i see ppl with MORE equips than me with 1,7k haha
only thing i still understand is that.
I've heard all this hype about Sharandar 1-shotting people and what not.. so I went there, it scaled me to 70. I take the Arcane Reservoir quest, and I steam roll through it.. just like before. Have it on video.
I've also heard about hard "Totem of Auril" is. I went there, soloed it too.
Just spec your character and have some reflexes. Getting killed by brainess mobs just lol, some of you need to get into PVP to learn some reflexes.
Inb4 "You're a CW! Easy mode class!" name me whatever class you want and I'll record myself soloing anything in Sharandar.
One of the many Control Wizards that misses Shard Of The Endless Avalanche. RIP Shard (Beta-Mod3)
on my GWF with 14% (one rank on ToD boon + my normal 10%) I could litterally solo all of the heroic incounters(bone ritual ect.) in well of dragons and as long as I didnt go prone and could keep my sword going I would never get below 90% health
that being said the nerf to damage reduction for every classes (but tank pally and GFs) is what is making things overly difficult for anyone who was less than 18k gs not the change to lifesteal or regen
if you need that heal then I would suggest you drop your stone and equip a healer pet. Lilinds are great and fawns are super cheap on the AH
put some azures in your def slots and come to terms with the fact that with a 10 level increase no matter what you were in mod 5 you are a n**b now like everyone else
long story short LS is fine how it is and so is regen they just need to rescale the rest of the classes damage resist
Learn to play, it's not that hard. :rolleyes:
Let me explain then.... Those of us with DPS characters spent a lot of time and or money maxing our damage and then maxing out lifesteal enchantments or regen in some cases to heal ourselves in combat. Now all those maxed dark enchantments are functionally useless. In the new system you would be better off maxing defense so you take less damage since in combat healing has been taken away.
Of course IF I decide to do that and max all my defensive slots with maxed defense enchantments I now have zero confidence that someone won't find that "Too Survivable" and nerf those.
Making PVE harder is not something I enjoy, I liked it as it was, but it does not infuriate me. Having items I invested lots of time and effort into nerfed into uselessness and expecting me to now invest that time and energy into maxing out a new build does.
