epic hard/norm spinners of shadows

[Damian]

Just tried it with a guild group and found out:

CR37-39 Herzous, CR36 Renders. Main spider that hits same as epic elite.

Same thing with 1 to 4 characters in the group so its not due to scaling... I thought that patch 1 got rid of Epic elite monsters in EH or EN quests? or was that patch 2?

Something was changed in the patch since in eHard LoD the doggies went from CR 36 to CR27. (Absurdly, the cultists are CR 17 on eh though I think they have a *few* more hp than a typical CR 17 monster.) I haven't checked Servants but that has always been . . . "special".

Servants of the Overlord on epic normal and hard have the same inconsistencies. Hellhounds and reavers are a mix of CR 22/26(?) and CR 36 throughout the quest. The Flamefang encounter(CR 39) and end fight(CR 36/37 drow, 37 hezrou, and 39 jaraliths) are both the same on normal and hard as far as I can tell. I haven't tried elite yet.

Whoever went through and "fixed" the monsters only fixed the ones that spawn when the zone is created. They forgot (or simply didn't know the quest) that some monsters spawn in response to events, and those monsters did not get fixed. Maybe patch 2, or 3...

Same with Spinner of Shadows - even on epic casual and normal there are CR 36-39 mobs (hezrous and reavers in end fight). It is doable but kinda funny when trash mob have more HP than boss.

EN Lord of Blades is even funnier.

CR 26 (or so) raid boss. Get him to 5% and CR 39+ Bladesworn spawn, then rednamed CR 40 Quori.

I find it to be rediculous when some programming errors decides to put u up against ungodly CR mobs doing 80-100+dmg pre hit using weapons u know **** good and well don't do that kind of dmg unles they got like 80-200+str to go along with it. Can u say 8 mobs enemies killing a 800+hp toon in 2 seconds along with any others to boot. Serious, are u freaking serious devs, this game is turning into a complete joke!

My favourites are the paralyzed kobolds that spawn whenever you fight mephits and just stand there helplessly =)
