[quote="SHAILO"]Having attending a fair few HSoma Nega its clear melee get at least 90% of the kills now, even the best geared mages struggle to get the last hit on it. Even looking at the current boss feed, Nega is listed 6 times and every time it has been killed by a melee char. Of course majority of the time these are well geared melee chars but surely an equivalently geared mage should have just as much chance of killing? The feed and past experience suggests this isn't the case. As it stands attending on a mage is pretty pointless and looks like our only option to get a kill is by lvling/gearing a melee char. Can this be looked into? What are other people's thoughts?[/quote]

[quote="GENTRY"]i think that the reason 90% of nega kills are from melee is because 90% of people attending are top gear'd melee people whereas there are only 2-3 mages at best mages probably do more damage than melee with each cast, but can't compete with +8 nega weps coming from like 10 different people. sometimes nega isn't even weakened coz no mages weaken it lol.[/quote]

[quote="AENUS"]Mages got every kill for months proc dont work on nega u need ma malycon has gotten a few kills lately well atleast when he shows up[/quote]

[quote="LINKDX"]Malycon has only killed it once since it’s been Changed 😂[/quote]

[quote="SHAILO"]Not so many mages are attending on their mains and are using their melee chars, myself included. I prefer to go on 800x600 despite the char being only half as well geared as Shailo. Papapilas is probably the mage with most nega kills and even he doesn't attend on that char anymore.[/quote]

[quote="OPENTHEDOOR"]Mages got all the kills so the MD was tweaked. Now no mages get any kills. Could the MD be tweaked to the half way point of the two values?[/quote]

[quote="SHAILO"]+1[/quote]

[quote="MICKYC"]+1 sensible way forwards[/quote]

[quote="MERLIN"]When was it changed? Or what was it changed to[/quote]

[quote="PAPAPILAS"]If it’s true that it’s MD was changed it would of been nice for the community to of been told. Something definitely changed, I’ve killed nega a fair few times, soon as I noticed somethings up I stopped attending. Only 1 or 2 mages attend now and I would recommend if you are a mage get on a melee char. [/quote]

[quote="DISCO_STORE"]Lol papapilas u wernt botherd when u where getting 90% of nega kills but either way it's just another example of changes made without proper testing[/quote]

[quote="POWERFUL"]Na, sorry but not another mage moaning about nega kills. We had a decent balance when it came out and it was made easier like 3x for mages till a point where mages were farming them with ease, every time and this went on for a yearish? Mages were doing insane damage to it and on top of that were able to weaken and not miss it each time. Dex on nega is insane, dexy archers etc cant do much to kill it - ideally next change would be to reduce dex. I only see couple of mages these days at nega and 12ish melee.. If anything make the runners somehow decide if nega is easier for mages or melee each time... Person 1 activates crystal shard - chooses to reduce x magic defense Person 2 activates crystal shard - chooses to reduce x physical defense Person 3 activates crystal shard - chooses to reduce x offensive dex?[/quote]

[quote="SERB"]I’m one of the mages still attending 😂 still not had a kill and I use ma stuff. Seems to be mainly spear users and guys with fast weapons / attack gear getting the drops.[/quote]

[quote="SHAILO"]Additional time put into the mechanics of spawning nega isn't required. Just the stats of nega need to be altered like they were previously. Next nega to spawn in 13 mins. Guarantee a melee char gets the kill. [/quote]
