top end eq should be hard of course, but seems like lately all smobs have been upped and are damn hard, Doon who used to be soloable because all he loads is an emerald sword is now insane, melandric is no channel because she loads so awesome? This mud has a very low pbase and its getting even lower so upping smobs or restricting skills at smobs isnt productive. why have a dagger load on a smob that isnt stabbable, or have dodge load on a smob that is no channel and takes a basher to kill.

with our low pbase we are forced to either create a character of every class just to smob accordingly or hope people log on and want to smob.

and I already know people are going to say I can solo most smob etc, well thats great but since this is a pk mud I set my characters up for pk not smobbing.

I'm perfectly set up for smobing, can't say as i do too terribly in pk.

non-channelers are very limited in what they can kill but they can still kill some things with the right tactic.
I got malandric upped because I'd solo her without getting touched at all and she was being killed in about 10 hits. I still solo her on both channelers and non-channelers, just takes some more hps and a little use of tactics.

Don't think doon has ever been soloable by a non-channie, he's near on unbashable and can't hit him after bash him if do anyways, his minions are stabable. He has large hps and does coded damage and hits through high defence, unless he's been changed a lot it takes quite a lot of resting to solo him even as a channie.
He was also to balance this the only 100% shield load for a long time.

Raken and aiel are hard to smob solo because they load high defence 2handed weapon so can't be hit in melee by solo opponents when load these weapons, coupled with high hps.

Whitecloak and garwin are the only smobs currently hugely out of wack, the minion mobs are crazily strong for extremely crap loads(apart from tiny % shimmering axe, iron braelet) on the smobs.

Murash also got changed to extremely depressing bad load

All chunky ring loads got removed i think.
