Fighting by where the 3 predators on the balcony are right, and pull the north path.

All of a sudden, I'm 1 shot by a gutslasher, 800 damage crit, and the trooper is wailing on everyone it can for 400-500 each hit.

Wtf is going on here?

I've spent far too much time doing my best to become adept at playing/gearing THF only to be pigeon-holed by a passive trait that's often used as a scapegoat when random luck screws other players out of what they think the game owes them. :/

1) Yes, the puller linked, that much was obvious.

2) No one sac pulls there...

3) No, we're an established shell that's been around for about 2 years, and 4 years if you count the prior ls.

The problem is that these 3 orcs were INSANELY powerful. All the others were hitting for 200ish and then all of a sudden we have 3 that are capable of one-shotting mages and killing anyone else in 2 melee hits.

I don't have much experience in Dynamis, but isn't it possible that the Orcs had been buffed a bit from some bards, and/or used Warcry for an attack boost?

No because there were no bards, and even if there were, they wouldn't be prebuffed because the mobs are spawned after pulling a statue. They also need to hit people for tp to use the warcry TP move, which they can't have done on the initial pull.

Was it later in the run? Mobs get stronger over time from what I've been told.

We still had 2 hours left if you count the extension, and it was just that one group. All the others were weak as usual.

Also, earlier in the run, when you go to the first alley past the fountain, the one statue that wanders back and forth. We pulled it, it was hit with the song, turned red, and walked off. It linked the whole ******* alley onto us, they came running at us.

We had a couple other issues but those were the biggest ones.

Didn't he just say he'd been doing this for at least two years?



Either way, it seems you happened to pop a higher stats vanguard group, or that it was hit by a warcry (it has rather large range)

That's happened to me before. It's lag.

Welcome to Dynamis, where timing is everything, and a slow response from the server makes you HURT UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD.
