Recent patch observations

Since the last patch, I have found that ALL my characters are just getting their azz handed to them in Monolith and in Arena. Really bad luck of the draw? Hmmm…not so sure on that since I tried it with all my toons in both areas and none of them, regardless of level/build, could even clear 2 waves/instances w/o dying. It wasn’t like this before this last patch as I was farming for gear and trying different specs for different classes and was managing it nicely.

On another note, while in the monolith, the chests were dropping HUGE loads of drops. So much so that I went through over 50 shatter stones to try and keep the pack clear and still ended the instance with a full bag and stuff all over the place that I had to leave behind.

As a last plea, PLEASE fix chat! The randomness of being able to chat and having it just disconnect is maddening!

I’ve noticed that my characters are a teeny bit squishier than prior to 0.7.7, but not much (and that was likely due to a Ring of Shields node buffing all protections rather than just the elemental ones).

yeah, the game is a bit harder in 7.7, ward retention is down by a bit, lots of bugs making skills real op r nerfed, and i feel that the creeps’ attacks r a bit faster
i feel that this is a good thing, gives u the drive to up ur game a bit
