Am I just imagining things or did he get a lot stronger all of a sudden? 2 weeks ago my friend and I walked all over him, but today while helping a guildmate kill him, he one shotted me twice. He wasn't close enough to do melee damage and I'm a lvl 73 veno with 2690 hp and 5099 metal res. And as I said before, I had no problem killing him 2 weeks ago. What gives?
Thanks

    Vriddis is a little bit glitchy from what I've seen, I know exactly what you're talking about. I can solo him fine as long as my pet keeps his main aggro. The magic aoe is nothing to be feared by a robe class. But if I pull his main aggro for even a second, I'm gone like that *snaps fingers*. Even if he isn't even close enough to hit me with a physical blow.

    not that I have ever seen, but if someone knows for certain, it would be good to know.

    You know...it seems as though several bosses have gotten stronger...Krimson.

    He was tough before but OMG!! We had a tank that has done it several times without a prob but yesterday was one-shot in a mili-sec

    I have yet to check out the other "major" bosses around...

    im wondering if the devs didnt twiddle with more than we know, with this last 'maint'....ive noticed glows around mobs that i had never seen before.

    i have a feeling that we get updated mobs, at the expense of hyper wings, and screwed up terrain. bleah...

    Yeah I've noticed a yellowish glow around mobs that run back to their spawn spots.... And why haven't they fixed the hyped up wings and other glitches yet b:angry

    I vote that they untweak the bosses and make it so that you are able to beat the bosses at the level they give the quests to kill them without getting a higher level to kill it for you. takes all the fun out of it.... Well that's my opinion anyways

    the glows is to indicate the mob is busyregenerating, you get the same glaw when a cleric res you.

    I haven't noticed any changes to bosses, but ofc I haven't done any recently. It would be odd if they did change things on the bosses cos all the database sites would be wrong.

    Maybe just bad luck?

    Maybe...but we had done it before with no-prob and the same group (+1)...I do know that something(s) shifts every time there is a new patch..



    As far as the graphics issue, the only issue I have had is with the pets wings being hyper speed...other then that all is good on my end!

    Thanks for the input, its seems I'm not the only one having problems with him.
    Guess I'll just have to be really careful around him in the future :)

    Something has changed with the world bosses.
    DoD now has some powerful AoE, that can one shot arcanes if they close by.
    Dont remember him having one so powerful earlier.

    It seems the devs thought the bosses were being killed too easy, so they made them a lot harder.

    In my opinion of what I've heard is maybe the Bosses AoE attacks are glitched and are ignoring magic defense completely. Thats what it looks like to me. I mean it doesn't really bother us tanks seeings how getting hit with magic damage already hurts but we have enough Hp to take it.

    Again its just my opinion. It might not be whats really happening. But does make sense.
