They made the new mobs hit HARD, and using interrupts is now key to your survival. As a DK, at least, I used to be able to pull 4-5 mobs my level or above and hold my own relatively easily. It was hectic, but not very difficult. That does **not** fly anymore, even taking mobs a level or two below me is difficult if you get to about 3 at a time. Chaining mobs isn’t as hard, but I can’t do it anywhere near endlessly anymore, there’s an upper limit at about 5 or 6, or lower if it’s a particularly hard hitting mob (often a caster), to the point where making my ghoul offtank sometimes actually happened (I never even considered this option before Cat). (pulled in from the other thread) You’re playing in a DPS spec, right? Because in my tank spec 2 is easy, 3 is doable but leaves me below my max health if I don’t use my defensive cooldowns, and I have found out from bitter experience that it is possible to take on about 8 at-level mobs (not casters, though) without using Army of the Dead and come out alive - there’s a quest in Uldum where you’re supposed to use a quest item to distract the packs of monsters so you can click on the clicky thing, but I didn’t read it carefully enough and just waded in, expecting them to be below-normal-strength mobs. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-wow-general-discussion-thread-6-8-10/542480)._
