Hey Gang,
Anyone who's familiar with this area will know what I mean. I've noticed that the mountain trolls there now do -TWO- things differently:
a) They now -coordinate- their heavy blow attacks, which can drop -massive- health on your end in under a second.
b) They make more efficient use of Disruptive Blows - while this would happen -occasionally- in the past, it now happens -every- time I fight them - disrupting skills that have a casting time of a mere -fraction- of a second, rendering them unusable - providing me with a nice 15% DP within seconds.
Hopefully, others have noticed this as well - and i've not somehow lost my mind without knowing it.
- Regards,
TheMarvin

Yet another attempt at nerfing farming. They don't drop anything useful these days either so it's not really worth your time. Trolls got hit on both sides...increased difficulty, crappy drops. Much like drakes, skales, tengu, jade scarabs, zealots, giants, etc, etc, etc
Weather the storm....

Yay! Explorable Areas are almost as hard now as they were in beta!
No. Seriously.
Sometime between late beta and release, the Explorable Areas became quite a lot easier.
Time was, the run from Nolani Academy to Grendich Courthouse was something to be proud of, and that bridge just east of the Courthouse was nearly impossible to cross for a solo character that wasn't outfitted specifically for Charr hunting. Even L20 characters had a hard time with it.
But now? Yawn.
A few more of these, and the game will be as challenging as I remember.

Bizarre though - It must have taken place over the past couple of days - because as of a couple of days ago, they were -easy- as pie to deal with for my Mo/W, utilizing the standard 'build' for that sort of thing plus the tactics defenses for increased AL. They didn't mention Troll nerfing in the most recent patch - I thought that was only seekers!
