Been playing mostly TLP's the last few years but I thought I would give Live a try again. I've been boxing lvl 110 - Pal, Enc, Mag with Wiz, Wiz, Clr mercs and having some trouble. My DPS seems just awful. I'm wondering if there is something just obvious I am missing or are lvl 110+ mobs just filthy hard to kill fast? I'm mostly just bazaar geared but I wouldn't think it matters all that much as long as you have decent AA's (mostly autogranted) and the tank geared (approx 235K hp and 6K ac buffed). I fooled around killing undead goblins in East Wastes and it was pretty slow going so I researched other places to go.
So I went to GMM and tried the Darkness Howls group mission. It was very slow but steady going until the named popped (Grash, Bloodmoon Growler - lvl 113). I could not whittle that guy down - I mean like 10+ minutes of fighting it and still not below 30% - slower than an old world raid boss. Even with Wiz mercs on burn (I always have them on burn and never have aggro issues) the DPS just sucked. Eventually your merc healer is just going to miss once, and the tank goes down when a fight is that long. Mage and Mercs were out of mana and Paladin had blown just about every trick to stay alive. Wiped when Grash was about 10% - but it must have been well over 15 minutes of fighting. Altogether, it took me a good 90 minutes to just get that far into that mission to be quite disappointed in how ridiculously hard it was.
I'm not sure at all what I am doing wrong, or is the game just this much harder on Live than, say a Gates of Discord group mini?
Thanks for any advice.
