[QUOTE="hailstop, post: 4785785, member: 62201"] They're 11th level and their classes are: Wizard Warlord Warlock Fighter Swordmage Ranger One of the key features of these guys is that they're teleporting weanies from hell...but that probably doesn't have too much effect on grind/getting scared. Although it does very effectively eliminate any monster that can grab. I suspect I'm probably not concentrating my fire enough (and ironically enough, this is a fault of the players too...which has led to some long combats). My rolling recently hasn't been very good either. Fex, the last combat, involving a Feygrove Choker, Ogre Warhulk (I think...Elite Ogre anyways), Lamia and a Banshee was fairly slow, although admittedly the party started off by getting ambushed by the Lamia and resulting in all 5 being stunned right from the beginning. And then I couldn't roll to hit with the Swarming attack from the Lamia to save my life. The last time the PC's were really threatened involved a combat with 3 Battle Wights and a Battle Wight commander...dropped the rogue really quick (who then got killed by the Wizard because he included the dropped Rogue in the area of effect.) Which does raise another issue...even in the event that the PC's do get dropped, it seems to me that death isn't that big of a deal. [/QUOTE]
