I tried doing some quests on the new maps with a 290+ party(tank, heals and dps) but, isn’t the monsters a bit too strong? I don’t know if the 315 gear will fix that problem but, when the monsters hit someone else they die rather quick with 2 or 3 attacks.
Yeah I think it’s a gear issue, I made my 220 armors (grynas) to +4 and it seems to have helped a lot.
If you managed to get a hasta plate, get it to +4 and you’ll be fine against most physicals provided you have aspersion.
as for mages…well…
