A Word on Nerfing

Sakiri

This is how I've made the game a challenge for me.

In fact, I'll probably take my next character and see if I can't do it earlier, though I might be risking it a bit much because of the constant miss rate.

You'll see her level when the harvester dies.

I was one of those who screamed "nerf Doshia!" at first, but after learning the tricks, I didn't think she was all that terrible. I still feel that some of the bosses are terribly OP and should be nerfed at least a little, but Doshia is not one of them. Then again, I'm not trying to fight her and getting killed ten times in a row at the moment.

I hope this does not sound to pessimistic, but considering the difference made when they nerfed Mannimarco on the pts, I wager it will be a big nerf.

Holy cow, I just did her (in a manner of speaking) with an alt. She's not even a boss level mob any more. She used to have a deep mana pool; no longer. What a dissapointment. It used to be a rite of passage, now it's "so, when is the real Doshia coming out???"

I hope this doesn't happen. But my previous experiences with MMORPGs tell me it will. So I would enjoy the challenge while you can. Chances are it will evaporate soon enough and mindless button mashing will prevail.

I think that the final bastion of challenge will be the group instanced dungeons. By that I mean, challenging for those who go back alone to solo them. Lots of mobs, complex strategies needed, and some several really challenging boss fights.

And it's no faceroll. They may be 20-30 levels below you, but when you're surrounded by 10 or more of them, it ain't so easy...

I just within the hour soloed Fungal Grotto. I wiped a several times, but it was worth it. I'm glad that I didn't do any of the other instanced group dungeons with this character in a group; I'm looking forward to more challenge!
