I dont have screenshots but I swear the lvl 11 afflicted boss at the end of the first mission does 93 damage (melee) to me as an assassin with the strongest armor available this early in the game. When I was dead I observed that he took out the gaurdian henchmen in TWO swipes as well as the healer, the second swipe was way overkill though because the first one took more than 3/4ths of her health. Anyone have any way of not losing at the end?

I breeze through the entire thing easy with hench up until afflicted minister cho then its over in seconds.

I haven't tried roleplaying with a character other than my ranger yet. I think I'm going to farm 650 more naga fangs and then once i get every char their helmet, i'll do some stuff on my assassin.

Understand me when im a little scepticle I have lost like 8 times all in the same spot in the same way, I even tried leveling a couple levels and setting my A up for just defense so I could go in first and he just switched targets.

I'd like to get into this area so i have the whole map uncovered. Unfortunatly, the zone requires me to talk two people in the lagoon and then they redirect me to the estat and then it's still blocked off. I'm level 20 using my prophecies ranger. If you can give me any info about how to access these zones I'd be happy to help you with them.

Actually, I never saw him use melee (other than his vampiric horrors). What killed me though was that necro Chill skill (don't remember the exact name). It's PAINFUL and spammable during the right conditions...

I have tryed it a total of 7 times with hench and 5 times with actual people, one group was all high levels and we seemed really organized but he just picked us off one by one.

How are you guys surviving at such low levels. I'm on mainland (First mission) and level 19... I couldn't imagine being level 12.

I just never saw him hit anybody with it since he was too busy spamming that w/e Chill skill and vampiric horrors. Though I did finish him on the 2nd try with henches, when I decided to leave the horrors be and let them bash me.

use the ritualist henchie. we arent getting huge damage like that because the rit hench uses shelter, a party version of prot spirit. therefore we only get like, 20 dmg per attack.

In Vizunah Square mission i've had the afflicted do insane amounts of damage to me on occasions. Lightning orb 696 was a one hit kill for me, Ray of Judgement 230, normal lightning orbs at 139 sometimes and soul explosions hit for around 200+. This is only occasionally and I have no idea why they are hitting insane amounts of damage. And before anyone asks, yes i was wearing armor.

My group had some problems with him, but as the last one standing, other than Master Togo and his assistant, I just had to let the boss wail on Master Togo, then my melee R/A just combo the heck out of it.

Time...19 mins, 6k xp and 3 skill pts.

Hey thanks man, this is great advice to everyone. It works really well if you bring the Spirit Henchmen, if the prot spirits are up and in range its really easy.

The Server keeps track of what you have completed and what your level is, and where you have and have not been, it then is supposed to create spawns and the likes based on that information. Everything I have encountered so far has been in the sub level 11 range.

I dont think your level has anything to do with the monsters that will spawn.

Even managed to get Master reward

I just did it with a good PUG with my Rt/R, I got my Dissonance up and the boss couldn“t do anything (Dissonance interrupted all his skills)

It seems they do in fact have attribute levels above 20, most of the harder mobs, instead of higher armor as in GWP.
If you tell me your armor stat, I can calculate how much % of damage you take.
