Skullhammer in CL

[PowertothePeople]

<div>I understand this is old school, but I just came back to the game with a friend and we are starting from scratch on a new server, but this was so ridiculis I had to post it. Skullhammer the named Vulcher in CL the one that use to be a 2x mob back in the day, well myself and a friend (with both 2 box) killed him and his 5 2up adds (it wasnt easy since we were 20 and he's a lvl 20, 21 mob and his friends) I don't think he's been adjusted since the revamp, he hits for 500+ dmg and his loot was a lvl 8 buckler with +3wis on it. Com'on SOE the mob is lvl 20 and it drops a lvl 8 shield with crap stats plus I dont think he was ever adjusted from the 2x mob encounter he use to be.</div><div> </div><div>The funny thing is we were on are way to FG and saw a single up named so we killed it and it drop a shield with the SAME stats on it but with a different name. That is total BS, anyhow just thought I say something its not biggie or game breaking thing but when you kill a mob like that you think you get something better with all the revamps and up grade to loot they were saying in their update notes.</div>

<div></div>Ah well if he was in Antonica I'm sure this would be changed already.  Us evil folk are meant to have it tough - that's why we get Nek forest, the Ruins and Edgewater Drains.

They changed the system so that it doesn't display the con of the encounter, just the individual ones. When you have six ^^^ heroics standing in a group together you can bet it's at least x2.</span></div>

An epic mob itself is still labelled as epic, but an epic encounter may not be. For instance, Skullhammer is a heroic that comes with five or six heroic adds IIRC. In the old system this would've been displayed as an epicx2 encounter. In the new system there is no display for the encounter, instead you just see that it's five or six heroic mobs. You're supposed to guess at whether that means one group, two groups, or three groups. But I'm almost 100% certain that if you bring two groups to Skullhammer you'll still get credit, because looking at it earlier today it's still six heroic mobs, which is certainly not supposed to be a one group affair.</span></div>
