Sounds like it might just be a difference in the mob's AI... as in what attack it attempts to use by default, etc. If that mob's favored attack it a KD, then you'd definately notice you're on your rear more often.



I have no proof that this is the case, but it seems to me that I've noticed that different mobs favor different attacks.









I understand what youve said...but i hardly seemed to be damaging them. There was only 2 of them, while previously i easily dispatched 3 rebels of the same cl.

Ive just done some CL65 Imperial Missions and found them very easy with the flamer, it actually seems to be working and i was sticking a 250+ burn damage as well to them.


Then i did a Followers of Lord Nyax mission, same CL65 difficulty, wow what a difference i could hardly touch them. I tried my carbine as well, same problem and they repeatedly kept knocking me down.


Anyone know what the story is here, surely these guys should be as easy as the imp mission?


In the end all i could do was keep healing myself as i ran off screaming like a little girl...LOL

Maybe some of the NPC's went to a better defense school? Did notice that the melee only NPC's do go down faster than the Ranged. The ones that mix it up seem to be tougher than both.

Correct. Elite Mobs have more hitpoints and all-around harder than other mobs of the same level.

I totally understand what your saying at to some extent it makes sense..though i played WOW for a while and i seem to remember them having elite npcs {another borrowed idea maybe??}.


Though if i were an elite CL80 how long do you think id last against a CL95 opponent, not long id say
