Someone said they got buffed in dmg too.
They do the same thing, but hit harder. In other words, you just have to use more pots, and spam your heal pet more. Big deal, not so much of a challenge there, but more like a boring chore made longer.
People ask for challenging raids and bosses. Not a mummy with more hp so it takes longer to kill in the same fashion as before and only spending more pots. Thats the difference.
I really hope Honing doesnt become some kind of requirement for anyone to do runs or even progress/level normally. That'd be like making +20 weapons become a "must have" for, idk, anything =/
Oh well. I'm sure our feedback about this will be heard. Just because something happens in SEA server in a way, doesn't necessarily mean we'll have it always same way. Different communities, different things.
