Guild Wars 2

I think that many of the creatures that i find in here, especialy the riders are extremely tanky compared to what i remember. Are they scaled up due to the high player population or has it always been like this?

I roll a Rabid armor engineer. BTW.

It’s always been that way. Skelks and Young Karka are the only enemies with reasonable HP in Southsun.

good to hear, i was almost chocked when i downed to 2 riders + 1 veteran rider

The reef riders are a pain due to the bouncing attack and their penchant for stealing boons. Reef drakes can pull and knockdown in a pool of poison. Veteran karka are a pain to fight (but can be done alone if you’re practiced). All the monsters are, in general, nasty and unpleasant.

However, the rewards are actually pretty well worth pursuing.

(Hint: Support the settlers by talking to their negotiators. Trust me.)

Good hint. Do it before Anet “fixes” it.

I don’t think it’ll be “fixed”, I think that’s intended. For a month period, and in one area only?
