i decided to do some manoring and figured hot springs would be the best bet
unfortunately they removed the cats so i took the next closest port and got abit.... curious
into the forge of the gods
noticed a lone stakata and figured it deserved my attention
luckily last week i got 1 hitted from a mob on a magic crit at half hp so i never let myself drop below 90% hp
Dont you know that the heroes in this game are the mobs not the players?
But yeah getting 1 shoted sux (happend to me also).And that magic crit was more than my whole Hp bar too<.<
Funny bit in the rift is that in the 50+ one (where my clannies and I tested the whole rift buisness) the self destruct mobs are in a small room. Not knowing they were self destruct, I brought em into a corner with Provoke and proceded to AOE, making them all self destruct at once. Full party wipe. We all got a good laugh, and now we skip that room when I come along...
Count yourself fortunate you got that one mob. A bunch of those mobs respawn 5-9 friends upon death, then as you are killing them ,they each have the oppurtunity to spawn more. Can be deadly without an sps or sorc.

Our first trip in the Forge of the Gods was going well until we came across the first mob. After he died and produced 5 or 6 more and several of them self-destructed we ran for our lives. It's not too bad now that we know to keep the healers/nukers out of the destruction range. But yeah, they're good for party wipes for sure.
Ha ha, omg that reminds me of something one of our SH's said (yes you Wob) the first time we went down there. Went something like "you WILL DIE...." ^ ^

this is a first
never before felt lucky to be hit for 1k+ damage
What I love about the FoG are the sleep-resistant minions that spawn lol.
lol yes, first time we went there we had the extremely evil combination of "buffs fade in one minute, guys" plus "omg that mob died and spawned six multi-hp sleep resistant friends" plus "oh look he exploded" :)
Amazingly, the party survived with only one casualty.
seeing a trend here
am i to understand a solo ws in forge of the gods is not such a good idea? lol
my impression was that a ws with full buffs (se at least) can take on any mob solo up to 10 lvls higher
always thought thats what set me apart from the average nuker
but seriously a mob spawning 6+ mobs on death with a chance to self destruct all 5x hp and sleep resist, how does a full party even survive something like that?
From my experience on the live server in the forge of the gods, where 3/4th of the party was lv 75, you basically can't exp in there. You have to bring your entire raid group for valakas, fight through about 500 mobs to get to his GK for the quest. Then everybody has to go out and do it, and come back again when they're done and go in, that or bring about 20 level 77 BD's with silent move dance, and get there in decent time. GL getting back though when you crash out and end up in town, with the time it's going to take to kill him, expect half the people to get d/c in one way or another...just seems impossible to me.
