Before patch it was hard, now all but impossible for me to solo a javing with a baying. But a couple bayings!! I just circle attack when there is more than one. Hope it goes better for you. It is not popular, but I have no problem with this patch (after the mini patch).
I went the route of creating a new character on Tryker Island, just to see how hard it was to lvl a noob character, and buddy, that yubo made short work of me.
Ok, well, then, I go forage some, gather some mats to augment my supply of wondermat and then craft boots until I'm out. Sell and buy a sword, and go try it again. No dice, yubo was down to around 50% before I died.
All righty then, spend harvest and craft SP to boost my HP and regen, as well as self heal 1, then go try it again. Had to pop the self heal, but I managed to kill yubo. Had to do it again, since I had dp to work off, so I had to wait until the self heal was back up. I'm glad I waited, because next yubo still had me down to about 50hp before I popped it and managed to kill it.
After that, I lvled in fight and immediately went and got Increase Dmg 1. Now, I'm able to kill those yubos, many times without using self heal, but it is still sometimes needed. The next step in that particular mission is to kill a weeny goari, and at Fight 4, I'm just not up to it yet...
I remember when I started my main on Fyros Island, and she was able to barehand the yubo with over half her life left... no sp spent from foraging or crafting, just straight out fisticuffs. Patch 1 did a real number on us... I hope the damage is undone by this next minipatch. My main is 82 2handed melee, and to kill anything that gives even halfway decent xp (Strong Kipee/Kizoar, around 1300 or so xp), she HAS to have her self heal up, or she dies. That's a little much, don't you think?
