Last night I spent a long time reconfiguring my character. Then headed out to harvest my usual q100 spots in winds of muse area. On the way to my spot, I get attacked by a malicious clopper. No PROB! they are usually easy, I was naked, but I used to be able to kill them without even thinking about it... Bang! 3 hits and I'm dead, even after using self heal. !!! ack what the heck?!
Ok, so now Im wary, and I decide to try again. This time I wear my armor and run up to a dangerous clopper. I hit blind and start hitting. Ok, I killed it great, didn't even have to use my self heal.
I rest back up to full HP, go pull a scary clopper out of the way... Bang! 3 hits and Im down again! OMG!?
At this point I am miffed... Because Dangerous cloppers are level 94, Malicious cloppers are level 76, and scary cloppers are only 65!!!! So why am I having more problems on the lower levels?!
I went back and analyzed the damages... It seems whoever was in charge of beefing up the monsters GOOFED!
Scary cloppers used to hit me for between 50-100 dmg at the most prepatch... They now hit between 400-650 dmg and IGNORE armor!!!
Malicious cloppers used to hit me for between 100-300 dmg...Now they hit for upwards of 800 dmg!!!
Somebody put an extra 0 there somewhere? I understand they were supposed to double the damage on all the mobs, not make them impossible!!!
Another thing I noticed was that using my highest dmg increase attack, I was barely chipping away at the scary clopper... It now has over 10x the hp it used to have...
I have come to the conclusion that while the patch may have correctly spawned monsters with double dmg and 1/2 hps, it created some monstrosities with 10x the dmg and 10x the hp.
I am level 125. I should be able to solo a level 65 clopper with no effort. Instead I die in 3 hits. This is absurd. Devs, if you are reading this, please fix your code!
I spent the next 5 hours foraging/harvesting away the DP.... *sigh*

Re: Bugged Monsters?
I agree in general with your sentiment, however I must ask you this question:
Why did you cast blind on a clopper? They are (and always have been) immune to blind
Was it just to pull it closer to you?
OH and have you fought a Dangerous Ragus yet? I got clobbered by one for 750hp's twice in a row. That was alot of fun. Not.

Re: Bugged Monsters?
Yes I used blind to pull the dangerous clopper. Funny thing is, it was the only clopper I could kill.
I am even scared of the vigorous cloppers now... They are level 21 but they are hitting for 400 dmg a pop with or without armor.
Just some statistics : I have 1790 HP with my equipment on, I hit for 550 dmg using my highest increase dmg. I have metabolism 26 so my hp regen is maxed for my level.

Anyway, I have *1850* hp with my gear on and I'm wearing a full suit of QL100 choice armor I made that has 50% and 162 resist to clopper/kipee damage. I got WTFPWND by a Malicious Clopper in like nanoseconds with full gear on.
I then went and fought a hard kipee up by the corsair camp near Windmeer... It did 800 pts of damage to me before I put it down.
Yeah I would say something is definately buggered about this whole patch...
Also the joys of harvesting now...
The absolute best I can do with 115 lake right now (with someone helping me with care plans) is 3 mats per pull on the 64 credit. I can actually get 6, but the cost in focus is so outrageous and the damage done to the source is so high its just not worth it, even with someone caring. I am even using both material and lake specialization in my extraction stanzas. Last night in about two hours I think me and my helper managed to gather about 140 units of QL100 materials and about a couple dozen QL70 to 98 materials from Muse.
I know there is an "emergency" patch coming, but frankly I would like to kick whatever stupid frog came up with all these crazy nerfs squarely in the mansack.
