I am aware that the former level 60 arc, the new level 70 arc has been changed. Forging the pact has seemed to as well. My friend and I just finished it. My friend opinion is that these changes make the mission too difficult considering we both died 3 times during the mission.
Along the way, we spotted regular veteran krait with a permanent 10 might and fury. I tried ripping boons from the two of them, and it did not get removed. Also the zombies are way harder then I remember. I used to solo it without dying much. 2 of those times we died were from those krait mentioned above. Also I seem to notice the abominations are shorter for some reason. Has anyone else noticed it? Did arena net change this while working on the changes to the rest of the 70 story arc?
