these halflings are punks. first of all, they all gang up in any fight. secondly, they cast and won't pull away from the others who heal them while they still continue to cast on you. thirdly, the agro range on these guys is equal to a planes level mob.
my point is that this is a group of mobs for newb armor quests. i am a level 16 necro and i still cant break this damn halfling camp. i have been trying for days to get hides but even my level 16 pet cant tank them. its just not funny anymore.
What the heck! Someone want to explain to me how the DE Rog armour quests can possibly be classed as "Newbie Quests" When 50% of the items needed drop from this "Tank" of a Leatherfoot Captain, his lil pal the Leatherfoot Deputy, or The Leatherfoot Medic?? Not a single one of these guys can be taken out by a true Newbie. Or for that matter a party of 3 lvl 8 Newbies. Heck I even brought my lv 15 HE Bard in to try and help my kid get the stuff for her armour and the Deputy kicked both our tails. Then the clown camps on my corpse for 20 minutes till lured away. Sheesh! Newbie Quest??
The point is that they're druids. Of course they're hard, because they heal each other. You have to kill the little corporals and scouts first, then get the others. As for the Deputy, you're supposed to kill the low level one, inside Neriak. No one doing these armor quests is going to be taking down the Nektulos Deputy any time soon. He's 30+ all every time I've seen him. Red to my 27 necro anyway.
All I know is Verant could not possibly make "druids" more efficient. This little guy conning slightly lower or even to me kicks my ***. especially if I get him and a few added leatherfoot scouts. Just be weary, one will push you back and stun you, then he will nuke you. he is pretty nasty actually. I dont think I would try to take him untill more like level 13 or something.
