*** Turbine!?!?

I'm afraid the programmers are too accustomed to having their efforts made to look ridiculous by the playerbase and they sometimes overcompensate. My own group was owned by these oozes, earlier.

Turbine, you guys need to do something to defray the amount of frustration already accumulating in Reaver's Refuge that had already existed because of the nature of the Slot Machine reward offered in these quests.

You had enough new material without being excessive in your nerfs to characters in addition to your buffs of the mobs.

I did this on elite fairly recently, full party, with no issues. I think you're missing the fact that the meteor swarms have unavoidable bludgeoning damage, with which evasion will not help you.

Out of curiosity, then, how exactly did you avoid the 250-300 damage no-save AE damage that the living spells were tossing around like peanuts at the circus? (On normal, no less, I imagine that on elite it would be even higher)

I got hit for 330 damage in there last night at 17th level. That was enough to put me at around -120 hp, from full health, in one shot, with no save or any ability to mitigate the damage.

Care to explain how your party did this "with no issues?" Is there some trick to it that the rest of us aren't aware of?

I think i have a better angle on that screenshot gruntis, which shows him hovering better. I will go see what i can find.

Can you believe when he levitated, i had to get the bow out and start shooting him with arrows. i mean me a ranger, using a bow for gods sake.

One way to handle the meteor storm is to open the door and take him for a hike up to the maze, he will follow you in and keep chasing you through it, but easy to avoid being hit, definately the topping with cheese but if you cant handle it, remove it. One could possibly do this with all spells and save themselves alot of issues.

Devs, i was toe to toe with the kobold, i used all the different angles to get him to hop away from obstructions during this fight. He leashed once in the lava at the bottom of the rocks, not far at all id have thought, and he was literally on some sort of crack. Bounced around after as little as one hit at times.

All I have to say is... try hotbar consolidation. The number of hotbars with empty slots on your screen scares me. Perhaps if you didn't have so much clutter, you wouldn't get as frustrated?

Yeah, I'm sure thats it jacka$$. Find a new thread to troll. Capital "L" to you sir

The only possible way of surviving the DBF and comet fall bludgeon damage is to be in constant motion away from where they hit. As the attack take time to get to your location, if you have moved away from it, no dmg.

This can be seen quite often by clerics casting cometfall at a moving target. The spell hits where the mob was when you started casting. I often see mobs avoid dmg by doing this. The same should be the case for us.

Of course, saying that, it means someone has to get the mob agro and run them around while the mellee get a free righn on the kobold and effrit.
