Ancient Wyrms are know even harder to kill....

With the new pub. they made the Ancient wyrms even stronger making it almost impossible to do Level 6 Treasure maps solo. I just did a level 6 on Temple Island the chest spawned 3 Anc. Wyrms and a Balron. I used to be able to Provoke the Wyrms with 120 music, 120 provo and a Dragon Slayer instrument and succeed most of the time. Well, they must of also raised the bard difficulty on the Wyrms too, because I don't know how many times I tried to provoke them I failed everytime and died most of the time. I had all 70 resists and I was still getting hit at 106 to 110 damage, my character only has 112 cap so one hit and I'm pretty well done. The way I finally did the level 6 was to lure the Wyrms over to the Temple and yell "GUARDS". What a waste! but that was the only way I could do the map. I guess now when I do level 6's and an Ancient Wyrm spawns I'll have to run it off and leave it in the woods, hopefully some poor sap doing a level 1 doesnt warp in next to the Wyrm. But what can you do? I tried Energy vortex after Energy vortex and they do absolutely nothing to the Wyrms now. It used to be you could kill one in about 8 to 12 Energy vortex's, now 8 to 12 and their energy meter hasn't even moved. All I have to say is good luck to anybody trying to solo Level 6's now.

When I first heard about this chango I wondered why they would change the AW...I don't know of a lot of people that hunted them frequently.

Then I remembered the treasure chests. They changed champ spawns because there were too many people completing them with only 2 people sometimes. They were meant to be a group effort. I believe the same can be said for the maps. I think they intended the level 6 maps to require at least a small group to complete them. Many people were able to solo them now.

Not saying I agree totally with the changes but I think that is why they have been making the changes recently.

i went out the other night and was killing the AW solo with no problem.

i also use to kill them before the changes, and yew, they are harder.
but like swoop, they wernt bumped up THAT much.

now, saying that, 5 at once would be a challange.
but with T hunting you can pull them around a bit.

do the bard dance.
disco them first, thats the key.
cause once they are disco'd their barding diff drops so you can get the provo off on them easier.

i have some pics of me proving 5-6 of them a couple times solo.

id be very interested on doing that again.

my old tactic was to dig up the chest.
pull all the spawn a screen or too off.
park them there.
then go back to chest and keep pulling the spawn up to the area where i parked them.
then wen the chest was done id come back on my bard and kill all the critters.
