It's a hard hitting ability, but it is designed this way on purpose.
The intention for this fight on a more casual level is to be wearing a number of anti-gnome set pieces, or banished power set pieces as this will greatly increase survivability and damage output. I'm honestly impressed that players are plowing through the Elite version using what is available to them, but it does become easier to manage in Elite mode with Anti-gnome and Banished Power sets.
i know its designed to be compensated when u have the antignome / banish set. But as many already stated, the drop rate is incredible low and its a big bummer for those who wanna run the elite version without the antignome / banish set. If we look at the current drop rate of the antignome set items, it wil take months, maybe years for regular players to achieve a full set. I love a challenge but this aint no challenge anymore. For me its looking for someone who actually sells the helm or belt because the drop rate is so soo sooooo low... This very fact needs to be encountered because its really discouraging ppl from getting the antignome / banish set! I even lost hope in finding a actual seller. That said please do something about this. Its been weeks now since the set has been release and there is actually 1 player in the entire game with the full set. (maybe 2) Or is it intended for players to actually get the set after lets say 4 more expansions? Im very happy u finally made the amulet trade able. that took me 3 weeks of complaining. im willing to add another 3 if needed. We do want gear progression Thats what the community clearly stated. But this aint no part of the Gear progression. As i already said its not funny to run a map over and over and over and over and over without looting anything. Or hitting the towns without even 1 single seller. Thats (i think) not only my opinion. But its the opinion of many many players!

Thanks. But I nailed Loose Gear less than 24 hour after elite Underhul was launched, and my team and I nailed Encrusted hours after the first Cryostar spawned, using on elite maps what we know from normal runs, like tapping flowers to cancel afflictions, and figuring out the best weapon and pet combos to bull through the waves of minions. We're not elite virgins and not scaredy cats either even without Antignome. I was just pointing out to Carapace that it is tantamount to deceit to make elite Underhul only logically and profitably plausible when you have Antignome, which hardly ever drops, when in previous expansions some universal end game gear was made available to make elite less onerous to farm.
