Now onward to the 1st stage only..so I hope the rest of the tombs are like this. :)

Wow, is all I got to say on these new tombs. I definitely felt like I can actually play these tombs for a bit. reg mobs are nice to fight, and necromancers still bit on the hard side, but doable. Now the boss is really a hard one..his armor is high doing 34-45 dmg. 3/4 threw "friend 1" dc'ed so it was me and friend 2 till we hit the boss. it was a 30min ordeal..but was really fun playing it knowing my gear isn't the best..but my connection was great.

last shot before we left..didn't kill the boss..but thats ok.

This whole post is to show lowered gear players that it is playable. No i'm not doing this post for the devs..but lowered players stuck in the same predicament as me. the maps are playable..the boss is hard..but thats what {ELITE} is all about. Bosses need strategic attacks..so be carful, but I didn't stick around long enough to figure him out. Now with that said, devote a nice amount of time for these tombs (30+ min in a great group)..even tho this review is on the 1st level..still fun. 1 hit kills maybe from bosses..(avoid red zones for sure) as for mobs..we died a few times..nothing to really say..OMG devs are eating my plat or revives. I did die a few times (3-5 because i was trying to figure out elite)..but never call many mobs at once..if not you WILL get flattened.

If there is further questions please post and ill answer them here. thanks for the time..and you low geared players..go...play. :)

(*Disclaimer - I never run elites....EVER...so this tombs are defiantly a nice breath of fresh air..and of course spelling..but i was in a hurry)
would like to thank the 2 players that helped me with the review.

I did a run with three guildies - a tank, a mage and two rogues. All of us legendary/part myth, no myth/arcane weapons, no arcane pets. Mob difficulty seemed okay, besides the occasional one-hits from mages and/or failed positioning inside the purple pools. Actually, I am inclined to believe that mobs are now a bit easier than they were on the test server. It seemed to me that they have less hp now, though I might be wrong about this.

All of this was while we were still a full party. Maybe 10 minutes in and it started lagging, then one by one everyone disconnected. Two of us got the boss - me (rogue) and the tank. I got instakiled by the boss and ankh revived only to find that the tank had got disconnected meanwhile. So, this is how my first run ended.

As for essences - we got one essence overall (me).

now i'm hearing tombs 2-3 are even harder...maybe an adjustment so all elite are like the 1st tomb..that would be fantastic.

Try tomb 3 and then write this review....let me know how many ankhs you've spent. The first time I ran, I spent 200 and so did each member of my party. Trying to lower that...but boss resets too often. :3

maybe im speaking to soon..but I liked the 1st tomb (why I wrote the review), It is nice for all players as elite should be referring to the 1st tombs. As for the revives...holy mother of god..thats alot. I feel for ya bud, I do. im just sitting back and relaxing until things get sorted out ya know.

I personally hate elite..a normal tombs would be great :) im not mad, bitter or much of anything else, so if they change it or add something additional..cool..if not its ok. as long as normal maps don't become like PL 1-hit kills ya know.

I think the tombs are easier with parties of 3. I ran with 1 tank 2 rogues and beat the boss in 40 ankhs (wouldve been less if it didnt reset twice).
However on the first time i ran tomb one, I spent 100 ankhs and another party member spent 300 (he was the one reviving). Of course, once i figured out when to use kelvin, the number came down to 3-6.

not to mention the 160 dex he is stacking

Probably must have been debuffed by a mob?

OT - I haven't tried the tombs with a full party, I have however duo'd it with a friend and I like the difficulty of the mobs (haven't reached boss yet), will have to wait and see if STS makes any changes.

[Caabatric]

im more concerned about the dc issue honestly i cant even get to the boss without dc....
and from the sounds of it the boss 1 isnt hard with stun pets and coordination.

He left the zone while you was viewing him, thus his pet stats have vanished leaving his gear stats.

It would stop showing his pet's name if that was the case.

Nah, he's a Sorcerer. .. he's magic.

I think Debuffs would make the crits to insane amount of negetives like -999999%

Grimm does -10% crit on AA - I'm sure there's a mob that does something similar! :p

So this is what you guys call "poor" and "low geared" huh.....
All we're using is Sam's amazing arcane ability and full mythic armored tank with a team of players who have these runs down to a science... Js I've made it to the end of the tombs too so that isn't the problem really
