yeti mobs are as strong as Hill Giant

[S0ulseeker]

just an observation. I think that's kinda cool though XD, Just regular mobs being as hard as bosses. I think these mobs should be the standard for future content haah XD

I think it says more about how poorly balanced the foothills content actually was xD. I would expect this would be the standard moving forward, since our stat systems are much better in terms of future proofing.

Well, Hill Giant is lvl 39, so it makes sense. We've just gotten used to the wrong idea: that hg is some kind of high lvl boss when in fact he is just midlvl.

It's like mobs in foot hills are kinda as strong as farmland bosses. Actually I think 1 razormane is stronger than any of them.

The Yeti cave elites are basicly the testing ground for group-content non-boss balancing. And I think they are spot-on.
They are challenging, but not frustrating. Whenever you die to these elites, you always know the reason why.

So, yes, pretty much. These will be my future baseline for designing D4 trash packs. Now that levels are pretty much static from this point on, I have the freedom to precisely adjust the difficulty setscrew.

I'd say they are kinda weak anyway. You can easily solo single mob w/ psion with full foothills gear. Tho maybe it's ok for larger packs anyway.

in my opinion, we were used to easy mobs cuz there was no much quests so the only way to get xp was killings mobs, but now, we had a lot of quests and mobs dont need to be easy anymore.
