First fight post changes - well stuffed!!!!

[Stuntie]

<DIV>First fight after the update and changes. </DIV> <DIV>Against a group of 4 green con Centaurs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Fought the same group right before I logged out last time. I had destroyed them all without even going into the red and had logged out next to them as I needed some more of them to finish off a quest. Done same thing a number of times against this and similar groups, so it wasn't a one off lucky break.</DIV> <DIV>Logged on took my picks and tried against the same group. Same armour, same weapons, same old skills, same old tactics.</DIV> <DIV>Yeah some have changed etc. but it should give me a good comparison to pre and post update.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Managed to kill one - and that was just before I died.</DIV> <DIV>They stuffed me as if I was a pansy elf in robes.</DIV> <DIV>It wasn't even a contest, it was them beating the brown stuff out of me, and me knowning full well that I was going down and going down big time within seconds of the fight starting. So stunned by how slaughtered I got I had to log out in disgust.</DIV> <DIV>If this is not a bit of bad luck, but the way things are now then I might as well retire and go off picking flowers as fighting is out of the question.</DIV> <DIV>God help the cloth and chain wearers if this is how fast we go down now.</DIV> <DIV>We'll be reduced to having to group to take on Solo greys.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'll try again and see how it goes, but right now it doesn't bode well.</DIV>

Were they Heroic Mobs or Solo Mobs? Any up arrows or down arrows? <div></div>

My first fight was a resounding defeat also.  It was against 3 47 double down non heroics.  I tried with the offensive buff first and was losing bad.  Ran and went back with the defensive buff to try again.  I was doing much better.  I cast all my combat art and then when I when to click them again nothing.  All on much longer timers.  I essentially cast all my arts and waited unable to do nothing for 20 sec until I could cast again.  Terrible.  I turned the game off.  I hope this isn't the way it will end up.

Use defensive stance while soloing, not offensive.

Im a lvl 46 Zerker and i got beat the hell down by two lvl 33 ^^ grey mobs. now you can call me a n00b or whatever you want. truth being im not uber, im not in an elite guild, and im sure you all would laugh at my bank role. However "I" dont play this game for any of you so i dont really care what you say about me or how much you flame me.  With that out the way i just wanted to post so that IF SOE ever read this i would at least be another opinion that they have killed this class. What they have done to this class is rediculious, and for me, ill give it till the end of my billing cycle and if it stays this way i doubt i will renew. I know a lot of you have said that Heroic mobs were never meant for single player, which is true i guess, but without killing mobs that were heroic, i got hardly any XP and loot was junk. I have just a few friends that i play with. 2 or 3 at most and we have accomplished a lot of things we probably shouldnt have been able to, however i will never be in a huge guild and i will never have multiple groups. we usually fought everything when it was grey and got no xp and loot, but finished quests and still had a fun time doing it. i really dont see they harm in this and dont understand why it was changed. EQ2 was suppose to be different and after 4 years of playing EQ1 and then coming to EQ2 , enjoying the hell out of it for almost a year, being able to solo for crying out loud!!! Now the fun has ended, i now have to wait for hours for groups most likely, like in eq1, cause now the zerker class really doesnt have much of a role except a little dps. Basically i am now introduced to EQ1 version 2....... im just stating an opinion and really dont give two S$#@s if you flame me. so flame away..... Oh yeah and btw to any NON-Beserkers that are posting in here, especially the finger wigglers and the wand people, you really should post in your own section if you have nothing constructive to say, its pretty lame.

Sounds to me like either those Centaurs were Heroic, or you seriously screwed up <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.  No way a group of 3 green solo mobs should beat you down, but a heroic green encounter should yes.  Even if you were taking green heroics before the patch here's a hint:  THEY CHANGED IT! You can no longer solo heroic encounters, you weren't supposed to be able to before.  INSTEAD you should be soloing SOLO encounters (doesn't take a brain surgeon).  And you will still get exp just as fast!  Try it, its true!  So to make it easy for those of you having difficulty with the concept: Heroic - GROUP Solo - SOLO Indya <div></div>
