Even halving Thrall health and damage is not enough to redeem PvE

I propose that the bonuses gained from leveling are drastically reduced to the point where a level 20 Cimmerian Berserker would have a third of the damage and health of what they have now.

Followers are already recieving a:

@Ignasi

• Reduced HP gain by an average 33%. Some high tier followers received an additional 16% reduction on their base values.
• Reduced melee damage by an average 40%.
• Reduced ranged damage by an average 30%

Personally I think this is way MORE than enough for starters; 40% less damage, one third less health…no better to leave the values at this then further adjust them later if necessary. Funcom is well known for over nerfing things. I would prefer that we err on the side of caution here, assuming that is what they have done in the first place.

@tzaeru

It’s disappointing. I want to feel privileged for having conquered a difficult boss.

I already do. In around 90% of instances I defeat them singlehandedly (ie-without the use of a follower). I find this much more rewarding that facing them in group encounters.

I would also add that if you are already fighting bosses in a group with your friends as you said, you do not really need to bring followers in addition to yourselves. And especially not Cimmerian Berserkers, which are among the most powerful on offer.

Also, getting proper scaling for the bosses based on player count in their vicinity would be great, but that’s maybe asking a bit much at this time…

If it were at all possible, I honestly wouldnt mind if ALL enemies scaled according to our player levels. I know that when I go back to lower tiered areas such as Sinners Refuge and The Summoning Place, or re-battle the Abyssmal Remnant I revert back to an iron weapon, otherwise I tend to kill the enemies way too easily for my tastes.
