Needless to say, there aren't many instances where we will be tanking solo 10+ creatures in the cu, but there is this instance...............


In the Etyyy hunting grounds, I did all four of Sordann's Bets solo. My template is MPK/TKM/Doc4000, during the first 3 sets i soloed groups of 10 at a time and no problems. During the fourth bet, the webweavers, I got a little cocky and took on the total first set, 18. I died.....lol but during this time I made an observation. I was only hittingsome of the 18 surrounding me!


After, I tested this again on the webweavers, and it seemed that i was hiting 12 of them out of eighteen. As soon as I killed one, another began to take damage. They were all surrounding me, and nothing out of the normal..they were all lv 48 or so and had decent hp. Oh and I died again. The damage output from all of these was just too much for my food. lol



Well anyway, I thought it woul dbe interesting to see exactly how this works.

You had a Master TKM and Master Pikeman template, 2 fairly undamaging professions, and you managed to solo the first one? Impressive, I tried it and failed. Of course, being a Master Pike/Ranger, I have crap defenses even with pike and no healing, so I can only take 3-4 at a time.... Maybe 6 with Stim D's.

yea, the TKM now is uber. I didn't even wear armor...just a couple of melee def mod clothes, a cure hat and some good food.



I soloed the first 3 btw, and when I made it to the webweavers, I should have taken them on 3 at a time, not 15 at a time lol. I just did the quest with a friend ( TKM ) and did it in 10mins



does anyone have any info on this cap ? is it official or a bug?

Sounds like Pre-CU.



I found my AOEs have been "bug'ed" there, too.



Using TKM against Pikets: Only the target gets damage, switching to swords: All take damage.


And no matter what creature/prof: as soon as the creatures had no HAM-Bar over them (when they gone low and retrat or heal the lair) they didnt take damage. They had the damage-number floating over them but HAM didnt change when you checked. You had to target them.


This seems to be gone now.


Why not replace a fixed bug with a new one?

I Soloed the entireplanet just about (few things excluded)with only Master Doctor / Pike. It's very possible if you take your time and play smart.

Oh i agree, Doc/Pike is an awesome combo and with tkm i soloed most everything....I'm just stating that there may be a bug discovered that disallows you from dealing damage to all the creatures surrounding you at once, if they exceed a certain amount. it seems at least on my char 14 is the cap. i thought twelve but i did a few test runs and it seems that enemies over 14 didnt take damage till one or more were destroyed.
