So after the said "fix" with resistances SK's can pretty much Solo the entire server now, seen many soloing f2 bosses (literally soloing, no box), and I'm not sure if this is what you intended, but I think it's kind of ridiculous that anyone can take one toon and do endgame content.

Well the bosses hit too hard to just tank and stack enough heals to keep up with the damage of bosses. Most do get buffs from their box with lassitude before fights but of course some don't depending on if they are fully socketed out with infused augs or stacked infused augmentations at that. If they want to prevent that from happening just put a heal debuff that reduces healing by 50% and it's gg. But this isn't end game content just another step. I don't think the 80-83 new zones with epic 2.0 will be so easy to solo. But only time will tell.
What i can say is now with the new levels all progression has become soloable and in the past that was not intended. I wonder what will be done about it in the near future. It is a solo/duo server but it's suppose to be solo duo with a box and 2 bots. So im sure scaling will be adjusted as more testing progresses. Give good input on the feedback section and the developers if your feedback is sound will implement it to the game.
So either buff everyone else, buff the boss, or nerf sk's. But balance should be addressed cause I know a wizard max augs and spell damage with bots still cant solo a F2 or solc boss. yes they are not tanks but maybe spell heals need a bigger buff on vampiric fragment. Just a thought.

thats my point, a tank can have enough damage to solo these, and i checked buffs on a few, no lassitude, no cougar maw. So yeah, kinda ridiculous, and right now it IS the current endgame content. Balance needs addressing because no one should be able to Solo these from what they've said (solo level (meaning 1 guy even with a box), and duo raid (2 players both with a box)) was my understanding of it.

Please keep in mind that the people doing this (and I have no evidence, or names, or anything really), would be completely endgame. You won't gear an SK up in Tacvi and just start rampaging through F2.
So basically I wouldn't expect to be able to solo this until you're already past it, which is about normal for any content here. I can solo PoTime, should I be nerfed? How about Txevu? I can solo SolC, should I be nerfed? Content only requires more than one toon when it's relevant to your tier in progression. Once you're past it, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to solo it. Heck, I think my mate's Rogue on live can kill Quarm in 1 backstab, should he be nerfed?
I'd imagine there'd be only 1 or 2 SK's doing this, and I can probably guess who they might be. Don't get carried away calling for nerfs until you're sure they're warranted, because you're only going to annoy people who fought long and hard to get the balance right, only for it to be destroyed by a few careless comments.
Can you please name the "many" that are steamrolling F2 so that we have some figures to go by? I mean, I don't want to be rude Kenichi but most of your gear is lacking in augments, which make a huge difference. The gear level of the people you are likely talking about would far exceed your own. I know two SK's that can probably do what you say, but they are fully augmented and have 60k augs as well. If their extra efforts don't provide them with an advantage in combat, then why bother? I'd imagine that by the time you completely augment all your gear and get yourself at least a 60k weapon aug, you'll probably be able to do it too.

i can attest as a SK with almost a full set of infused armor(missing one bracer and boots) and gear but only one infused aug no imperium augs full God augs stacked on all my armor i am not soloing these bosses though with the new haste i will have to give it another crack at them
as to wizards soloing stuff like this then you better let rogues solo these bosses as well then heck who needs a tank and at that point the hole server becomes a joke this might just be the tired talking though

You guys need to stop worrying about class balance so much. Anyone that played everquest from 99-04 knows for a fact that every class was unbalanced in its rightful way. But at the end of the day each class had there niche.
Now to answer your question about F2. The minis were designed for 2 clients to be able to take out. Caramon was designed for 3-4 clients to take out. Both were designed for ppl in tacvi gear to be able to do it with the numbers i mentions. I already knew as I was designing these bosses that as people obtained the new gear that it would become trivial. Keep in mind these first two zones are the break in zones and are not meant to be horribly hard but more of a gear check so that people can progress a little easier. I can guarantee the next zone will be more of a challenge and even the best players might have a little difficulty with a couple of bosses.

I'm with croaker here. Have all infused gear, with all infused augs+plus some discord augs because I'm lacking some infused augs and I can't solo these bastards yet Maybe in a few more days. 90khp/15.8k ac at the moment on the SK...not that great but it's a work in progress. I normally get 2-3 augs per play session If I'm lucky.

I am probably the second best geared shadow knight on the server and I can not solo an f2 boss. Now if I'm super buffed with my shaman and hall buffs I can tank well but don't have the Dps with 1 toon. CM kills me a lot still. I feel like everyone is complaining way to much about stuff lately. It's a great great server and this is what killed the old server. Have fun there's not many duo choices that can't do much. You just might not do it as easy or as quickly with less gear. But not to worry we won't be 2 Boxing much come next part of these expansions.

The butthurt is fucking real. 2 people can do this. Me and Crank, get over it. I would like to note that monks and warriors can also do this with the right setups and with minimal help. Ask Shodai, Ralamdar, Warloona and a host of other people who either dont use a healer or box something else for dps. The new gear is insanely powerful when it comes to mitigation and output. Sks are very strong once we're geared. Leveling and getting up to tacvi is annoying, we're just straight not as good as any other tank until we're geared.

If OP saw what I was doing on Blanks he'd have an aneurysm I think.

Today I used my shaman to DPS F2 nameds, not to heal myself, and I done it without problems. Im sure I can solo em too, will take time, but will be able to do it .
