UN-NERF KEDGE KEEP

[XiakenjaTZ]

is it the same on red as it is on blue?

Another reason Kedge XP is so good is that underwater mobs have a higher XP mod as well. Hence Bloodgills in Lake of Ill Omen. It's not that LoIO has an awesome XP mod, but the fact Bloodgills are underwater mobs GIVES them an XP mod.

I remember reading something about this a while back. So perhaps a change was made to the mob itself rather than the ZEM?

[Rejuvenation]

It wasn't uncommon to get 3% of a level per kill in kedge in the low-mid 40s. It was a bit outrageous.

That being said, I do think it feels like too much of a nerf now.

Man Nalkin i give you mad props for spending so much, on P99, in Kedge Keep. It's just not the same zone as it was in Live. It's just simply too buggy. From targeting issues, to agro problems, this is the worst zone on P99. It's probably a good thing they lowered the ZEM.

On Live, I loved Kedge Keep. I used to take all my 35's there and ding them to 42 in just a couple of days because of the insane bonus. Even my level 35 troll warrior with a rubi bp and fishbone earring (pre-Kunark) could solo in Kedge at the zone-in. Try that here...not happening.

Targetting issues have been fixed. Aggro issues just find a puller or someone who can pacify (Paladin, Cleric, Bard, Enchanter, Druid, Ranger) and you can split any room pretty easily minus Phinigel room cause the resists on the swirlspines is broken. Then a level 35 warrior with a rubi BP could solo pretty easy imo if they got single pulls.

The resists on the seahorses isn't broken, it's classic:

Well, let me just add that the swirlspines are much more difficult than their lvl indicates. We raided KK with about three groups, and most of us were above lvl 50. On an overpull, we were dealing with three at once, and it was a hopeless situation. If that happens, best plan is to get your clerics camped fast. We could not seem to get them stunned, and they must have very high magic resist, because our two chanters could not mez any of them. The worst part is that they are apparently of the cleric class, so they can heal themselves. The ones we fought just kept healing themselves (and probably each other) over and over and over. It was an exercise in futility, and although I didnt hear them laughing at us, I imagine they were. As a lvl 52 necro, the only thing that I was able to get to stick was my poison based dot. Pretty much everything else got resisted - even lifetap. Of course, they will also summon the casters who make them mad, which they did to me several times. Think feign death works??? Well it didn't for me. All I can say is be PREPARED for these bad boys and only pull ONE AT A TIME or you are in for big time trouble. Good luck. =P

As for the exp, it was mentioned several times that it was too high before and so it was nerfed to something more closely resembling classic.
