Did 68.5 yesterday, and I was surprised at how hard and how many hps the mobs have. I don't understand how anyone not in a raiding guild could handle that mission for 120ish hp loot ? And, yes, we had to kill the boss twice....With 10kmana cleric and 10k mana shaman using spiritual channeling, I still went through all my mana during that last fight. The trash are easily single pulls but hit for upwards of 1600 or more. I imagine the named was hitting for 2k ish. And most of the mobs were only slightly slowable. Strange..

Yeah, I was surprised as well Ribeye. As you said, don't go in expecting the 68.5 trash mobs to hit like previous trash mobs. All the Royal Protectors are only slightly slowable, 1600 hits and a ton of HP, my group wasn't killing them before Balance of Discord was wearing off.

The prince was challenging for my group, which was cleric, shaman, warrior, monk, monk, bard but doable. One of the monks was a well-equipped friend from an anquish guild (has epic 2.0) but the rest of the group was equipped at the same level as me, non-raiders (i'm the only person with epic 1.5, for example). Cleric and I have 7000-7300ish mana pools and full healing AA, tank has 11.2k hps (no hybrid buffs).

We had to kill the boss twice as well. I actually died in the middle of the fight (somehow, some AE damage or or aggro or something and I wasn't watching my health and healed someone else before myself and got low health agro) and got divine rezzed back in mid fight. Still managed to finish without too many problems, though I had to pop SC and heal hard at the end of the fight, which is always exciting with no buffs!

The Prince dropped a chain hat that was an upgrade for me even heh... ugly chain graphic though.

In order to get the new spells, you're expected to be geared for your level. If you used up that much mana fighting Prince Drillien, then your tank wasn't geared or perhaps AA'd appropriately. I've done pickup groups on 68(5) to flag out-of-guild friends, using random tanks. I kept a Serenity on him, but otherwise devoted my attention to dealing damage, since the dps of bazaar groups can be kinda low.

We tried doing 68.2 a couple times. Group was War War Clr Shm Cha Dru. Both tanks are close to 11k hp buffed. Defensives done thru GoD. All are equal in gear as we are a casual guild. DoN OOW type armor. The named here absolutly ripped us apart. Cleric fizzled one quick heal and the tank was dead. Second tank died a bit later but by that time quick heals were eating the mana up from me and the cleric.

First warrior did use defensive..second tank ( me ) got smacked between furious dropping and popping stonewall.
