Whats with old Minibosses

I read, and see ALL bosses, minis and raids, are now Raid bosses, but that the old minibosses are Raid Bosses killable by only one group, but none of them are soloable any longer.

Is this true, and are the old minibosses, such as Nakondas in DP or Calibrus in EG still aggro? And have the drops been upped? I have killed MANY minibosses, solo and in groups and hardly ever get anything, though I did once get a full Claymore from Nakondas.

If the change was done correctly, they should not be aggro since Raid Bosses are not supposed to be aggro. But.. Their old coding was aggro, and if that was not changed correctly... could be they still are. I guess I would get my party together out of aggro range, just to be safe. Supposedly, the Raid Bosses, that were party bosses before, should be killable with 2 parties rather than 3 that most Raid Bosses need.

As to the drops.. Try one and see. NCSoft will not answer questions on drops (other than to say something drops the item you are looking for.)

Good info, thanks for the reply.

it had better be more than the peice of thread or the sliver nugget I used to get from those mobs. lol

They're not aggro as far as I can tell, been close to a few of them, did a few of them with poor luck on drops >.> (Read; no drops)

I did Nurkas Messanger once by myself (and a stack of GH pots) and I got a stack or animal skins....like 15 or so.

If the Beast Lord in GC is supposed to have been affected by this change, it certainly wasn't. Still as Aggro and Annoying as ever.

Drops, Drops are still crap from these things.

beast lord is a group mob not a mob boss

Charmille, how many did it take to kill the old mini bosses, now raid bosses? What classes mostly?

Awesome :p

Mostly nukers/archers and you can take em with 1 and a half party or 2 parties if you know what you're doing. It's not like the bosses hit hard, I could tank them if I had hate and I only got like 800 pdef lol, and no shield ofcourse ;)

sps and sorc would solo all mini bosses
just cloud sleep and kill anything still moving

my ws could also solo any mini boss in game at 66
it took a while but with new c4 tranfer agro rules i would never be able to do that again

Ya that use to be my warm up routine before my level got to high. I use to start in oren get the mini boss there and around IT then go to hv get the mini boss there then go to forrest of mirrors and do all those mini bosses. Never got anything good but was awsome xp to start the grind off with. This was all solo too.
