Update Discussion: March 20, 2020

Initial feedback: Monster difficulty has significantly increased. Risk of dying significantly increased.

Build: Fire /Druid Molten Veins /Brambleskin thorns level 80+
Gear: Level 80 max crafted gold with augments and customised mods

Areas:
Dark chapel - no difference noted

Gazluk Worg cave - before this patch could cast MV & BS and let 5+ mobs kill themselves. Risk of dying was very low.
Today, had to use a healing spell plus Fire Breath or I died.

When fighting a group of:
1 to 3 mobs - no change
4 mobs - had to use Healing Sanctuary
5+ mobs had to use HS, Energise and Fire Breath to survive

Maximum continuous pull /train of 7 mobs achieved (2 + 3 + 2) and killed with very low risk of death.


Fairy Realm:
Non-elite group of 5 pulled and easily killed - mix of panthers and bears, but did die to a group of 2 bears and a bee.
No difficulty otherwise. Note: Used full set of spells to do so i.e. actively attack, rather than passively wait and let thorns kill them.
Elites not attempted yet.

Marrowchomp- Previously was able to solo him, but after this patch, could hardly put a dent in him - due to Thick skin and Regeneration I think.

Tried 3 skill combos- Fire /Druid, Unarmed /Psychology and Mentalism /Psychology - all failed, but Fire did momentarily reduce his health bar.
