Wards

[Nefaro]

<p>Has anyone noticed that in the new expansion things hit a heck of a lot harder or are our wards weaker?  I'm a lev 74, in Kunzar Jungle and I'm having trouble taking single mobs lev 74 non-heroic.  I spend more time warding than I used to.  All wards are either Adp3 or Master 1.  Heaven forbid I get jumped by another mob.  I'm to the point where I can't do anything solo out there.  I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here!</p><p>Also, has anyone noticed that most of the items you get from quests have 0 wisdom?  Is the idea to add to str and melee the things to death?</p><p>What do you all think?</p>

Since Mystics have no means by which to root rot something and no means by which to snare kite something, you're pretty much stuck melee'ing the thing anyway.Honestly, if you are trying to solo and haven't invested in the melee line in the Mystic tree you've been beating your head against a rather firm brick wall.When leveling myself up, I once fought 4 yellow mobs to a standstill in the Mines of Nurga.  It was that 5th add that finally got me dead.What sort of gear are you using?  I know that when I'm solo'ing, my Wisdom is a whopping 250.  Granted my Strength is over 800 . . . yea, gear matters.Look at <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=398354" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this thread</a>.  In there you can look at the relative value of gear and buffs using the Combat Arts.  There are several screen shots there to show you the differences.I usually pre-Ward with Group Ward before I pull a mob, and if only one comes I don't have to cast another heal through the entire fight, which usually lasts about 15-20 seconds.Get yourself a good pointy stick or hammer and go to town.
