    Make trash mobs stronger but squishier.

    I love that the trash mobs in the field are stronger now, but it often feels like such a chore to kill them.

    I'd like them to be made stronger and faster, but have less HP. So you get a shorter, but more intense fight with each one.

    What does everyone think of this?

    There will never be a "intense" open world fight until they decide that monsters have a 2 foot leash tethering them to the ground.

    Taken to the logical extreme all mobs should have 1 HP but do 100k damage with each hit.

    I think it's fine it takes a whopping 30 seconds to kill a monster as compared to the 3 seconds it took before. killing a monster in 3 seconds isn't fun

    This

    Even an enemy with high Str don't feel strong if it die in 3 seconds.

    Needs a nice balance of damage and hp, I think they are a little too beefy right now, but it will change as gear does I am sure. Tanky mobs does not make things harder just more tedious.

    This is what i was thinking at first too. That the mobs aren't hard or do much damage they just take too long to kill. But now that I've leveled some and gotten better gear, when i go back to some of those same level 50+ mobs they aren't much different than pre expansion mobs. They die pretty quickly now. I imagine once I'm 60 with i180 gear there won't be much in the open world that will take more than 10 seconds to kill.

    This doesn't sound like a good idea. Stronger/faster mobs with less health further reduces the amount of risk to ranged characters (while increasing the risk to melee characters) even more than already exists.
