As all Prophecies players know, Glint, the Lich, the Rotskale, are probably the strongest bosses (can't judge Factions or Nightfall since I haven't beat them yet). But, as many people know, Glint is way to easy for lvl 31 as for the Lich as well, the Rotskale is only hard because of the guys swarming around it.
So I think that there should be bosses with more freakin muscle to them. I first thought Glint should be like lvl 40 or something, but then, that'll be hard =D
So all bosses (except for the low lvl bosses) should be 1 or 2 levels higher, because a boss isn't a boss, until it can actually put up a fight.
Anyone think this should be in effect?

Nah, how about groups of bosses or bosses with secondaries.

Ooh, that's good... bosses with secondaries. Let's expand a wee bit...

Bosses with secondaries and skill templates designed by contest to be as nasty as possible.

How about, making PvE that has only balanced teams of 8 level 20 NPCs using all 8 skills from 2 professions each including rezes?

I'm willing to bet this would cause the greatest outcry of requests for nerfs there has ever been.

I don't think any mob in any part of the game currently uses full skill bar. Or has a secondary.

This would be, even if it sounds easy, one of greatest challenges PvE could offer.

That would be good, but you have to allow the use of up to 7 heros, and have at the most 2 mobs in an instance.

And the mobs have to be antagonistic towards one another as well.

Also when the mobs die and are rezzed, they incur DP like any other player.

I say bring on that challenge.

That would be really awesome. No enemies currently exist (to my knowledge) with more than one profession. Having a multi-profession boss with specialized henchmen would definitely be an interesting challenge.

The whole point of ppl requesting for more difficult bosses is that they want a greater challenge. It's kinda redundant to ask for harder bosses and then ask for more heroes to make it easier....

There are actually plenty of AI foes out there that have secondaries; the problem is, they generally don't get a chance to employ their skills from them before you have pounded them so flat that you wouldn't notice them even if they could use them. I remember going to cap [wiki]Burning Arrow[/wiki] today for my PvE Ranger and seeing a Cosair or two (may have been the Skales, however; I am not entirely sure on this, as the battle was quite hectic) activate spells/skills from professions clearly not their own, though I can not remember precisely what these skills were, nor can I get in-game currently to check them and other foes I have noted to have secondaries.

I'd accept a few harder bosses (so long as they don't have any cheap skills or are harder because they have 10K HP) if the normal enemies were limited to level 20. I don't mind bosses being over 20, but to me it breaks the game that a lot of normal enemies are over twenty and the players can't be.

To me it breaks the game that normal enemies are over 20 and are still pushovers.

Bosses don't need higher levels. They need better builds but not higher levels.

Savio, think of them as newbies in RA. Some of the mobs (like roaring eithers and their accomping djinns) still give me problems. Others are just tedious.
