I don't have time to read all 6 pages of posts so apologies if someone has already said this... but it IS possible to outrun a Flag Boss in the Sewers. If you can make it to a door without getting hit for a few seconds, you should be able to enter. I have done so at least twice, and not that long ago, though I couldn't tell you what colour their flags were.

These flag-holding mobs who do crazy damage and seem to chase you forever if you try to get away. I was able to kill the blue one - once

@Jeremy
Holy shartalu--you killed a flag carrier by yourself?!?!?!?

Honestly .. how.. HOw dose this have 7 pages

it should have ended on

1) its PVP / PVE
2) PVP heals are cut
3) THE BOSSES WITH FLAGS DANGEROUS same as STAND IN RED takes couple of people to take it him out
( whats next you will go down in sewers and complain you can't kill Simulacrum of Molag Bal by your self? )
4) ....really... can't out run him..? did you try jumping in water run away and then hide in corner .. ??

and finely .. ive done Imperial City when it came out i was vet 14 we were pushing for vet 16 aaa fun days ...
but the nail in the coffin

"I don't know who is responsible for this - and I'll be charitable and say misguided decision - but nice job. You just alienated me from ever wanting to have anything to do with your PvP. The developers of this game have an obvious bias against healers "

this must be trolling... if you are getting killed as a templer and you don't know how to change your skills / armour cp points to suite the situation i don't know what else to say

So please

That moment a PvEer discovers Battle Spirit.

When I'm too lazy to change builds/gear, I'll just run around IC in my PvE Land build/gear, and it works fine against any NPCs in there.

(My PvE overland gear for soloing WBs is full Light Armor or 5/1/1 which is ~14k HP in PvE Land and translates to 20k-something in IC.)

btw...

I'm still waiting for you L2P posters to get in touch with me so you can show me your mad skills and accomplish so easily what you are criticizing me for being unable to do.

Because so far all I hear are crickets.

Laksilkus, BFT88?

I'm logging but feel free to send me a PM when you are prepared to show me these mad skills you have and how easily you can do what you mock me for being unable to do.

First of all, not everyone is capable of soloing one of the 'world bosses' in iC. None with pve healer build like yours.
Second of all, there are 4 ways to exit IC(character unstuck, log off and log back in, teleport scroll, and sewers. You could also look which district leads directly to outside of your Sewers base and take that). You could've went, do your job and leave without fighting a single mob, but instead you walk all the way while body pulling wverything you see.
Last but not least, nerfing the damage to mobs is not possible, since the 'nerf' comes from a buff so that would mean to players too, which would be really big issue for pvp

So yeah, as people said you did smth stupid out of not understanding that aspect of the game and then come here to *** how stupid it is

This thread seems to be a clever post farming thread for the OP.

Have to post again!

Went to sleep instead of answering more of your stupid demands
You say you would be fine if yohr defensive tools werent cut in half.
The same tools that are cut in half for anyone else.

It is a l2p issue if you think you could do it. Im not saying i can do it on your snowflake build

Im not even sure what boss you are talking about, and cant even say if youbare in sewers or districts.
There are no flying bosses.
If you are talking about those scamp gates. Then light attsck then, skills dont do dmgl

But dont ask me why im even answering you anymore, mr mudcrab

I recently went into the sewers for the first time last week and it wasn't too bad cuz I was just checking it out a bit and wasn't there long. Last night, however, after doing a master writ, I got so lost and ended up so far away from my alliance base, I just stood in the middle of a mob and let them kill me so I could res back at the base and get the heck outta there, lol.

I think the title of this thread aptly describes the OP

Sounds like 2 issues.

1. DIfficulty levels of the bosses/mobs

I like this. Its the only interesting zone for me - since all other overland areas are too easy. I like that there are mobs roaming that I have to avoid when alone - it's one of the very few remaining bits of non-instanced PVE that still have a bit of challenge.

2. Battle-spirit.

Stuff is halved.. but damage to mobs isn't (seems to be the crux of the issue). But going back to 1. you have to ask, how is the difficulty set? The Dev's want a particular mob to have a certain level of challenge. To obtain that level of challenege, there are a number of factors that they can tweak - resists, CC health, damage done etc... All on the mob. These are all balanced with what the average player can do already in mind.
Now if they were to change what the player is capable of (by halving or doubling damage done) - surely they will also have to adjust the mob parameters if they want to keep the same level of challenge.
If the balance is currently correct in IC, then halving damage done to them will have to result in halving their health to keep that challenge level the same.
Basically it becomes almost irrelevant whether damage/health is halved/doubled or what as long as the challenge level is what Zos want. They could potentially change it to half damage done - which may also mean they decide to halve all the mobs health down there - but why spend all that time/effort when the net result would be nothing?
I'd much rather they spent their time on other stuff instead.

It's a PvPvE zone. I don't get what the problem is. The main point of the IC is pvp, the PvE is an environmental hazard. It would diminish the pvp by not halving healing. And personally I enjoy the extra challenge. Especially doing things like the arena.
