I suffer normal hits around 500-700. Southcross is like 2k damage :/. But I don't complain about this.
As someone already mentioned it's crapt that pets cannot tank anymore. I tested the update on the exp server and was worried about what may come to Ra.

That means that the whole game is destroyed now after this update,you can even run arrond and have a rezz dizzyness and still shot that means ,you can shoot them ,they can't shoot you.

I say FIX THE UPDATE BEFORE REALEASE!The game is so called live now and shoulent have this problems.

lol show us a screenshot where a barb hits 5000dmg
i cant believe that.

the dizziness thing seems to be fixed.


to the testing beforehand, thats a really good point.
right now the testserver is a playground to try out new stuff. But that renders it useless to test the actual fixes that go on the liveserver.
Instead there should be an exact copy of the liveserver. There the new patch should be installed and tested.
As you said there are enough volunteers to test it prior the release to the liveserver.
