Is it just me, or the adan'f mages seem to be alot easier than the warriors?
with ME 201 and Backstab 265 I one shot every mage, but with every other warrior, it takes two, sometimes three hits...
Also, it could just be my perception, but mages seem to drop alot more boxes than the warriors, like a 1 to 4 ratio.
For the last month, i've hunted nothing but adan'f, and from clear, one backstab of a mage brings my BS to learning and one backstab of a warrior brings it to thoughtful.
by no means scientific, but maybe others have seen the same thing?

Sounds about right. Mages have better mentals- they can ward of WvW spells better than warriers, but do seem easier to kill. There could well be an armor issue to- I never pay much attention to armor, but aren't the warriers wearing the plate?

Yup. I've snagged half-plates for people like that- though they would need some serious repair.

>>CoZ is your best friend, Ryeka.
Oh yes, when I had the spell (before the magic wipe) I did use it to wonderful effect- especially on the warriors. But like I said, my multi is poor- and CoZ can't help very well with that. Besides- With only about 200-ish in defenses I really shouldn't be able to hunt in there at all! ;)
But I have an old business of revenge to deal with with them...

Yes. But their magic spells make up for their defensive skills if you let them cast at you.
As for box dropping and spawn rate. I left adan'f because not enough spawned for me and the box dropping rate appeared to be real low. I spent the better part of a couple of months there. I now sit up in Rossmans hunting raiders and reivers. Much better spawn rate up here, mainly due to fewer rooms to deal with as compared to adan'f.

skinning is akin to combat ranks now, so it takes around the same to skin 'em as it does to kill em with whatever weapon, maybe a little less.

yeah, sounds about right. considering agonar tried to send my cleric to kill 18 adan'f warriors with 202 in weapon. <task system>. so that seems to be the "level" expected.

>>how exactly does one "overcompensate"?
I think he meant by casting every single buff available to us. And it is true that without a great deal of luck, I can't take adan'f at melee- though I can with magic.
At Ucu's challenge- let's call it what it was- I did cast my normal magical buffs to see what happened. I noticed that with both PFE and MPP up, I would see silvery blue and white or argent flares whenever an attack was blocked- and with just PFE up, I would see a lot of white flares. I must admit to being just a bit pleased with myself for being a little stronger a fighter than I thought I was! ;)

i have all the communes. i just thought of them more as defensive than offensive. So do you mean eluneds or tamsines? because i'm fairly sure it isn't hodiernas, that one stops ya from bleedin', and meraud's just stops new critters from comin' in and attackin' <also stops stealin', and though my thief finds that aspect "offensive", i'm fairly sure that isn't whats the context here...>

Tamsines, which I still find funny as the God associated with the offensive commune. I find lots of clerics not using our communes, but by the time you reach Adanf, you should be getting an hour or so duration, and the improvement is significant. Kertigen's commune, which I scoffed at for a long time, I have now realized(as several people insisted) is better than a regular bless. I now try to keep Kertigen's on all my primary weapons.
