Did a 1-101. About lvl 85 you start to see the monsters hitting harder. In SC with a full group blacking everyone needs 60vita. I tanked and I went 100vita but could get by with 85. We had 3 melee and 2 wl's. The issue that slowed us down is that it forces you now to use heal abilities also. One needs Multiheal and one needs Salvation. They charge great cause the monsters no longer hit for any zeros. At lvl 90+ it slowed because we didn't have those abilities, and lower vita so the damage dealing casters were having to spend more actions healing and less attacking causing the groups to take even more damage. But a black climb on SC with 2 or 3 avg casters and a avg tank can do it ok if they stat accordingly. Solo can be done like stated above.

But I can't see any groups being able to explore it. It can be done but the time it will take is going to be around 2+ hours just on the 71-101 lvls. If a SC group was to hit a 9 wave EP at lvl 90+ and the group has 2 casters with heal abilities also it will be very very difficult even for elite geared players.

Also everyone has to pay attention more so than before. Ati had 4300 life on a wl, got pulled to the front and got 3 shot killed. You start to see everyone take more hits in succession than before.

I would highly recommend NOT EXPLORING ON HC at these levels in a group. I think it can still be done blacking on HC to 101 but you would need to put the stats you get at 71+ into your vita along with your usual HC vita amounts. I do not think any 5 man HC can do it with only 1 healer, even if he's a pure healer unless the 4 others have very high end gear.

You should really update your wind charm. That is horrible.

Isn't think what people were wanting though, more of a challenge?

Hell yes. Also want it to be more rewarding though.

It will be eventually I would imagine, but you don't have to do it..
I haven't tried it at all yet but will be in the next few days

be careful almost had a few rips myself.

i ran solo in 1.26.1 till ~86, mobs hitted harder, but all in all it was smooth.
after 1.26.1b i reached 101 solo yesterday which was kinda horrible since i had to reggen after 1-2 mobs from 95 upwards. i was able to grind single-ep's, but 2-3 at a time forced me to instant run.

my equip isnt the best (lvl 50 142ee sword / lvl50 79ee plate / 36str charm) // ( 56total life-reg) but 1hour-leveling isnt was i was expecting going to 101.
from 10k life to 4k life in 6-10 hits.

drops were ok, nothing special but from time to time a lvl 20 wellable or magcal/rare lvl 30+ from regular mobs.

the map could be reworked (spawning in neverland at higher levels)

the 1.26.1 difficulty was ok, 1.26.1b is too hard (avg. gear, 100 vita 2hitback, retribution)
once i get some new gear, i will try this again, but right now it just takes too much time and is not rewarding enough for the effort needed.

Got my 2 points when i hit 101

They hit rly hard at high lvls. About 95+ got pretty hard.
The drops are still crap tho, not enough to shrine on.

we did 1-101 last week with me as rouge driver(exp gear) 1-71black. 71-101 explore. rouge,alch,alch,warlock,monk,(g/o)

we did pinch @ 80 +

time 1.20~~

as i see it, the high dmg is the main problem on lvl 85+

i think the life amounts can stay as is, because it still should be a challange to run to 101. the increased dmg prolly just makes it ridiculous as armor gets ignored by crits.
