I consider myself a decent gamer. I’ve always been able to find solutions for problems I’ve had in various games I’ve played.
In this case, at first I was being accosted by too many mobs at the same time. Certain areas in Bloodtide Coast feel like they’re meant for a group instead of a single player going solo. To solve the problem, I got better armor and re-allocated my trait points for better defense. While these areas were still challenging, I found I could at least kill the initial group of mobs that attacked me.
However, as soon as they are killed, they respawn, before I’ve even recovered.
This is especially true at Risewild Hills (Where you have to fight through trolls to get to the elusive sugar pumpkins at the top of a hill) and at Laughing Gull Island. At Risewild Hills, I couldn’t go two steps without the trolls I’d JUST KILLED respawning right on top of me. In the end, I had a little train of about 7 trolls following me as I gathered sugar pumpkins one at a time, because I just got tired of killing them over and over.
To be fair, I do play an elementalist, but I’ve really come up with good strategy that makes me feel as if the class isn’t as squishy as some people say. She’s my first character and I like caster classes, so I’d rather learn to play the class rather than re-roll. However, at this point, I can’t help thinking that playing this particular profession is part of the problem.
Thoughts?
