Okay, either I just got the worst luck ever, or loot scales down when you're solo. Really far down. I got 250 gold off a vermin run...

well, they havent stopped my stygian trapping. the amount of extra rare drops does seem higher just after 2 quick runs. ill post again in 2012 when im bored of hard mode.

Samurai-JM · Apr 20, 2007, 03:14 AM // 03:14

Using the Wurms in the desolation for right now; it’s not so bad with them in hard mode. The boss drop is kind of the same in Hard Mode, and I am kind of disappointed that the gold drops only increased a smidge.

Edit: Oh and yes the Buried Treasure, Treasure Chests, and “Do Not Touch Areas," works in Hard Mode. The drop I got was a gold Tribal Shield.

I'm trying Perdition Rock right now, everything is level 26 with level 30 bosses. Aggro control isn't a word, they run sporadically all over the map unless in a patrol, in which they do that as they stop. This will really bring out the best players that's for sure, holy smokes.

That's funny, cause I'm there right now with half of all of the monsters cleared with no problem at all.

My only complaint is that caster heroes seem to be following their melee owner right into combat. Tahlkora's turned into Alesia.

Hey explodemyheart, i wondered if you had a moment could you list a skill bar of one of the monsters? Also do they have secondary's and do they kite to any extent?
Should you have the time to reply, thanks in advance.

garethporlest18 · Apr 20, 2007, 03:37 AM // 03:37

They have the same skill bars Chichory, but they cast faster, and run faster and move out of AoE faster and all sorts of stuff and I got finished off by the Glyph of Renewal boss cause I had no interrupts.

Just taken quickly from what we were fighting at the moment: Level 26 Dark Flame Dryder, necromancer with no secondary. The only skills it used were Soul Leech and Shadow Strike and it did not kite any.

Ok thanks gareth, kinda disappointed as i was hoping for secondarys and organised groups however i guess it's better than before

Thanks also explodemyheart.

NEW CHESTS!!! There are now "locked chests" all over the place, just found one in Plains of Jarin(where I am now halfway done with getting vanquisher there) and I also got a lockpick. Used it on the chest, KEPT the lockpick, and got gold Half Digested Boots. I guess these are just new chests that only lockpicks work on.

sindex · Apr 20, 2007, 03:45 AM // 03:45

Is there any info on the latest addition to the Sunspear title in mean of a new skill of some sorts?

Samurai-JM · Apr 20, 2007, 03:50 AM // 03:50

Sunspear points are now available to Castellans at the normal guys from before. Currently at 8500 points myself

The bountys are new too: Whenever you kill a boss, you get 4(or 7, depending on the area) title points for EACH monster of that type you killed before it, up to 100 points per boss!
