(SPOILERS)Ok since my last one was a rant lets try this again. Ok I’m on my asuran ele lv 68 Dormund Priory personal quest where i have to escort Torn to plant the charge on the bone ship. Getting there is easy enough how ever, the next step is to defeat the undead in order for torn to plant the charges. The undead he means is a giant risen shark. Basically the shark charges you and that’s pretty much it one hit KO you enter downed state and try to recover. I have tried kitting it but he moves too fast. (There was a corrupted Quaggon champion where i was able to kite but he was slower) I haven’t tried grouping for it yet, but i think the end result would be the same. The bite plus the bleed does somewhere around 8k for a normal mob btw not a champion. i would appreciate a developer to please go back and take a look at that shark. My thanks goes out to Fildrigar on his post.

Ok, good news and bad news.

Good news: I discovered that Tonn had no underwater weapons, so he wasn’t able to help at all. I also reduced the difficulty of the shark, and no longer have it make a beeline for the player.

Bad news: To account for scaling in multiplayer, I increased the number of sharks. (From 1 to 2-6 depending on the player count.) Now that Tonn is armed, though, and the sharks won’t attack the player immediately, I found it to be challenging but doable.

Slated for the 9/24 update.
