Obulus Frontier Damage

Thanks Caith. Was wondering about the highly reduced damage output all of a sudden.

I went back to using the old high-procing gear for now. It Helps. A little.

I noticed a huge debuff in damage since last night. I dule box a Guardian and Berserker with two mercs and it takes me several minutes to kill a normal mob now. All of the procs on my weapons have been reduced to almost nothing. My abilities damages hit for between 50k and 200k including criticals.
I don't know if the mobs were increased to make the zone more difficult but it is nearly impossible for me to make any noticeable progress now. I have only been able to complete 2 quests in a two plus hour period because it takes me an hour to kill 10 guys.

We're tweaking mitigation numbers on beta to get some data, it isn't in a "final" state.

what are your guards stats at i play a guard and have 3328cb and 13k pot in defensive stance and although the mobs are a bit slower to kill i wouldn't say they were that bad if anything i would say they are about right seeing as how stats are all going to be going up with the new kit

These stats do not at all seem typical if we're talking about fighting mobs in the overland area where even crafters will be roaming. Can't really compare someone who has 3328 crit bonus and 13k potency to even an above average player.

playing around in the zone today its not so much the cb and pot that is needed as more the resolve that is required if i lower my resolve there is a marked difference in the speed i can kill a mob

That's interesting. I had thought resolve did not affect solo and advanced solo content.

Damage seems to be back to normal. Thank Marr...

13k potency is alot more than alot of people doing the overland would have, the stats on the overland mobs should be balanced for those with 3-5k potency.
