Were KOS mobs not tweaked correctly?

[Twofeets]

I havent done much hunting in EOF yet, but talking to friends they say its not much different as pre-expansion.  Sure, their numbers are a bit lower, but they're still effective.My 70 pally, a 70 wizzie, and a 70 fury run together alot.  We went back to Bonemire to do some KOS content and were struggling big time.  We're not uber (Pally is in some relic, rest legendary, mit 5200 self buffed pre-expansion, 4600 self buffed now), but we're decently outfitted.What we've found just running around...The 3 ghosts at the entrance to Carrior Briar, 3 blue con double downarrow mobs, solo encounter.  Took 2 pally AEs (700pts a shot), 2 wizzie AEs (300/tick), and a fury AE (2300 a shot) to kill the 3 ghosts.  It seems they have more life, and they resist us a ton!  This was a blue solo encounter.Fighting the fetidthorns, level 69-70 ^^^, the trees were able to knock my pally to half health in 1-2 shots.  I was in defensive stance (Master1) and shield and 1hander.The worse part is why this was going on, I watched a 70 wiz solo The Carnivorgorian (71 ^^^).  Took him awhile, but he did it.  Seems to me the recent changes really killed a lot of tanks (at least in KOS zones), and while it may have affected casters, it wasnt nearly to the same degree (I know our wizzie and fury still nuke for nearly the same amount).  Not screaming nerf, just wondering if they messed up somewhere, at least in the KOS zones.<div></div>

no mobs were 'tweaked correctly', melee classes took a hard hit, mostly fighters, our mit, and resists got 'scaled down' AKA nurfed. Our defensive stance is pointless....Casters barely took a hard hit like fighters did. Heck, you dont even have fizzles anymore. SOE messed up, they scaled everything except the monsters down.<div></div>

It's not just KoS, it appears to be the older content as well.  EoF mobs seem fine though.

I agree, the spike damage seems to be way higher now than before, our raid MT would be in green with all wards/HoTs/reactives, and would often jump to yellow or red in an instant.  The only thing I can think of is that they expect us to get adornments and stuff to all our equipment to get back up to the skill level we were at pre-eof launch.

I just bugged labs... we have made many runs through labs with out current raid setup, we went in tonight and struggled with each mob, and just could not make it past even the slavering alzid.  Something is definately wrong with labs.
