    You're doing it wrong. If you want to solo AND get exp chains you need to be killing things equal to you or +1 level to you. If you want to challenge yourself and take down something higher level cool, just don't expect to be exp'ing well off of it like pre patch.

    Learn to adapt to the changes instead of stubbornly trying to stick to old methods that clearly don't work or arent fun.

    Can you tell me where I might find such mobs that are consistently at Lv or +1 higher? Please?

    What level are you? Have you tried wandering around the world recently? There is a HUGE increase in mob density all over the place. Go off the usual trails, you'll probably be surprised.

    Lv25, as stated in the OP. And yes, I have been off the trails and around the world.

    Really? because I found 2 seperate camps this morning while doing Maelstrom side quests. All of the crabs were 26-27 with a few 29s on the far side of the clumps. Both places are within a few minutes of Bloodshore. If I wasn't at work I'd pull up a map and mark it for you.

    You know those crabs will lottery into 29's eventually and link each other, resulting in death? I'm very familiar with that entire area, and have already tried it since patch.

    Only results in death if you don't know what you are doing.

    It sounds to me like the new patch makes it slightly more difficult to solo, requiring greater levels of care and skill from players. I don't have a problem with that.

    The days of happily whacking away at mobs solo, with no fear of death, are over; and good riddance!
