Did dungeoneering monsters get tougher?

[Rhonda]

I tried to do a floor after months of not dungeoneering and ran into a tough fight. I found an altar room with a 138 forgotten warrior guarding it and stepped up to kill it. I know melee isn't the best, but I tried anyway since it worked before and the only way I killed it was with deflect melee prayer. I switched my attack style from crush to slash to stab and used the saps, leeches and turmoil and still couldn't hit it. The rest of the floor wasn't as bad, but not far off.

 

Did the monsters get tougher or I get weaker?

melee usually barely hits if not all teamates wheere attacking it, personalily i woulda dropped a gatestone and gone back to make runes, ive been doing that lately if i ever go dging

You found a warrior wearing Primal , what did you expect :rolleyes:

 

Your best bet is to make runes, or use whichever style they're weakest too

 

If they're wearing a chainbody+skirt, use stab, if they're wearing a Platebody+legsm use crush, if they're topless, use your most accurate stat.

It's possible. Monster difficulty scales based on a number of factors, including the type of dungeon and the levels of the players on your team. If you selected more difficult settings for your floor, or if you leveled up combat since you last dungeoneered, you could certainly end up with stronger enemies to fight.

 

It's typical for high-level forgotten warriors to be tough, though. They're very resistant to melee and they can hit pretty hard. If it's an especially tough one and it's blocking a guardian door that you need to enter, the best solution is probably to bust out some runes and use magic; otherwise, if you can, I recommend you just ignore it and dash past without bothering to fight.

So that's what that armor is. Explains it.

[Pepsiguy]

primal warrior+chance of primal drop= being the best weapon/armour in dg +other teamates=of course theyre gunna make it hard, they aint gunna hand you full primal for killing a crawling hand

[Quyneax]

Primal warriors only drop promethium items.

Also i personally have no trouble dropping primal warriors with a prom 2h. Maybe you should be eating your cabbages. :ohnoes:

[Rhonda]

It's not the first time I fought a forgotten warrior, just that this one I could not hit at all. Probably wouldn't be a good idea to say I nearly got owned by a 77 bat, too. :P

Not asking for easier monsters with primal drops. :rolleyes: I know they're rare. I've only seen a primal hatchet from a boss drop myself. I'm curious if the monsters had been ramped up.

 

EDIT: This was in a medium C6 solo with prom spear ++, prom plate and katagon legs (found).

[Bladewing]

they are annoyingly difficult to kill one on one if you don't have magic

[Emerson]

The NPC's in Daemonheim are FAR harder than those on the outside for one reason:

 

The NPC's get equipment bonuses that are scaled to their levels, thus making a 138 warrior have the equivilant of full primal gear for bonuses on top of a att/str/def/hp (without prayer or summoning) that gives them 138. To me that pretty much means one tough customer that in order to deal with; you have to bring food and booster prayers along with a possible class ring bonus into play.

This is why carrying around some mage stuff is never a bad idea.
