I’m a warrior using full magic find gear out farming for t6 mats. In the past I could handle 4 mobs at a time and survive quite reasonably. But here lately after the patches even when using strength boosters and food i’m getting slaughtered by the same 4 mobs. I’ve looked at the patch notes for warriors and i don’t see any reason why this is happening now. My build hasn’t changed and my gear has only gotten better, yet I’m getting killed by what seems stronger mobs. It’s not even one specific mob, i have noticed i’m taking more damage then i use to from many different kinds. My gear isn’t broken either. Has anyone else noticed this as well or good shed some light on the subject for me? Would be most appreciated.

the dead have been tweaked (made more “fun”) so it depends on what mobs are owning you

i can only suggest buying a green/yellow set and seeing if its the MF
buy a supior sigil of luck buy MF food and see if theres a diffrence with the new set
(i switch to my MF sword till it stacks to 25) and i get lots of mat drops
other option is
re-looking at your build (owning 4 mobs on a warrior is alow-low benchmark)

Like i said i have full magic find gear, all exotics 200+ MF. I use foods and boosters. there should be no reason why i’m getting owned by the same mobs i use to kill with no problem. Drops are not my concern the dying is.

explorers power/pres/%MF your glass
you have afew options as i said

spend some karma on a throwaway power/vit/toughness temple set
buy a cheap set of armor and see if the new armor boosts you

load your build onto a website and ask for help on the warrior section

i know the dead in orr have been tweaked so it also depends on what your farming for the mats events in orr have champions mixed in…nobles hurt if you stand still abominations charge etc etc

I appreciate your reply but it doesn’t answer my question i asked originally. The gear and build is irrelevant.

How are you fighting these enemies? They have different attacks now that punish standing still- if you’re just trying to burst them down before they kill you, it won’t work too well.

thank you, that makes more sense. mostly AOE’s like double axe whirl. they do keep me stationary for duration. So that may be why.

I looked over the recent patch notes but I don’t see anything about changes to mobs AI. Could someone link to a relevant post on that please? I’m only farming mobs like grawl and such and its not an event.

Whirling Axe does not keep you stationary – but the mobs are immobilizing you.
Condition removal or pop endure pain once you are in the pack.

“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
