hmm... id would not even talk bout frozen burst... cap alot there... very hench
but ice dome.... i love. one of the few places in the game (pve side) that give you a run for your money. tight mobs, lots of hexes, degen (i think),
great place to see the last un farmable areas in the game.

tough up.

not sign.

The problem is not that it is too hard for me or the original poster or the people who share in this frustration --- but it is way too hard for the horrible henchman AI who will drop like flies consistently. Having to rebirth 7 henchmen one by one, 10 times each, just to clear each insane-cluster-mobs, in Southern Shiverpeaks is the anti-thesis of fun.

"Hard for the player" is not the issue.

"Way too many enemies which are wayyyy too much for horrible henchman AI to handle" is the issue.

Then play with real players. explorable backwaters dont really need to be henchable.

Please leave those areas alone. They are some of my favorite areas. And they are survivable with Henchmen. Very Survivable. I didn't need to go through Ice dome with my first two characters because I played the game normally with them, but on all 4 of my other characters, I either wanted to cap elites around there or I wanted to have access to Granite Citadel with them, so I pushed them through Ice Dome with henchies to get to Copper Mines. It's quite survivable, even with the least durable characters. Trust me.

No need for a nerf.

Then the problem is the AI, not hard PvE areas. The henchmen are horrible, but its possible if you have knowledge with henchies. And hey, who said its supposed to be fun?

Correct. They are very hard areas, but they are henchable.

The simple rule is, if your not a ranger, then buy or find a cheap longbow for pulling and take things slowly. It's takes time to uncover the whole area, but it can be done.

i went there with all hench and did it easily without much of running and pulling. the mobs are clearly seperated, i dont see a problem. i didnt die once, only in the end when i didnt see a doylak and got spiked. :P

leave them as they are, or at least buff ice dome! make it harder, that would be more fun

nothing in proph really is hard anymore for me after playing factions *coughelebossescough* ^^
