Correct me if I am wrong but in classic mobs tripled not quadded more. I have run into this before with sky mobs doing more dps then they did in classic quadding every time with extra attacks or procs, they just are more difficult. Innoruuk tripled 400 with a bash. I remember mobs did not quad until what Vindi, Idol and AoW? I remember the insane hp velious mobs had, and the quadding thing, the ch chain coming into existence. If for some unknown p99 reason mobs are quadding to make it harder then they shouldn't be doing it every single round. They should be making their checks for double attack also or dual wield or whatever just like players, not quadding automatically every round.

But the bottom line is these mobs should be not be doing this amount of dps. One could say the Avatar of War was the father of the ch chain. Necessity dictated that the ch chain come into existence because you couldn't kill him without. No one went into sky in kunark with a 7 cleric ch chain. To use the final bixie Bazzt Zzzt as an example. If she quads 860 with a kick, poison dot proc and draco dot aoe you are needing 6 minimum clerics for a ch chain if you tried a straight tank n spank. I'm not even factoring in ac not helping mitigate correctly or perhaps I should say as it did on live. I remember the AoW chain being what 7ish clerics? Maybe more? Granted Velious added armor and options for guilds, made em stronger but as it stands now on this server you need a 7 cleric ch chain, more to be safe on a 60 warrior with defensive to keep up heals on Bazzt zzzt. That is essentially having heals to cover the same dps as you did for the AoW since we were all still 60. And guilds on live weren't using a ch chain like that back then because the ch chain came into existence to deal with the insane dps and omg hp mobs had in velious.

I don't want the player remarks on "other guilds killed the bixie" or give me stories about riposte disc chain (that we used for VS on live) or mage pet armies or 80 man raids for the bixie. The fact remains these mobs dps should not be as much as they are, its near AoW level. Ac mitigated more on live, abilities such as dodge block worked better (I can show u ss of me fighting KoS through enrage and the abilities firing) plus the mobs here get extra attacks and hit for more. Bazzt zzt should not be a 7 cleric ch chain when you fight her like AoW. No way in hell.
