I went into the Arbor for the 1st time with a ~32 sorcerer to get a feel for it. I was still learning the mechanics, but I was insta-popped when I was tanking level 32 zones so far. Maybe I sent the light away and was then gibbed – that’s okay.
I then enter with a level 24 shaman, resistances above 30, and start clearing it out carefully. I keep the fire close by, at 100, and use totems from a distance to clear mobs. An elite comes along that shoots arching shards, and I’m once again one shot.
My gear is fairly forged, I have resistances, and passive tree in resistances/health. Am I still playing poorly, or is the level suggestion not accurate? Other level 20 zones posed zero threat.
