Can someone have a good hard look at this? It’s kitten-swinging near impossible to solo this skill challenge what with the rapid regeneration time of downed mobs and at least 1 – and often 2 – veteran mobs as well.

I splatter the mobs on the stairs (at least four and often five in two batches) but have to charge on up since the insanely short regen time means that – if I wait to regain health – I’ma gonna hafta kill ’em all over again.

Then there’s the duo at the top of the stairs – archer and hammer swinger: both of whom are in aggro range of each other and, disturbingly, often in aggro range of mobs INSIDE the ruin.

If, by some mad chance, you manage to get through that then there’s the 5 or 6 mobs inside the tower – one of which is usually a veteran captain or veteran healer. Trying to take down a kitten-swinging veteran captain with 4 or 5 other mobs whaling on you is hard enough but, if you’re unlucky enough to get a veteran healer, then you might as well just lay down and die.

And – don’t forget – there’s that rediculously short respawn time. If you’re lucky enough to defeat everything in the tower, there’s ANOTHER veteran at the top of the stairs before you can get to the challenge.

And the dead mobs behind you?

They’ve just respawned and at least one will be in aggro range!

I don’t know what youse guys were smoking when you designed that challenge but for the 1-15 range it’s in… waaaaay over the top.

Wind it down a bit – at the very least increase the respawn times and get rid of one of the veteran mobs. At least then there’s a kitten-in-hell’s chance it might be soloable.

Yes, it is difficult even for two players. Three can get the job done most of the time. Respawn times are ridiculous. Don’t know if I could ever do it solo. Fortunately, every time I have been there other players usually show up because THEY need help with that one too.

It takes skill, and it’s a challenge. Even for my level 80s (bumped down to appropriate levels).
