I was killing black bears for some HQ skins to do tailoring with. I was level 24 at the time - after 3 black bears (level 4 or something?) I had to rest to get back some health, after mend post 100 skill failed. Like the above posters, I'm definitely taking more damage than I should be.
Pulling in Sol A. last night, blue cons would nearly have me dead before I got back to the group - at one time I think I got hit something like 28 straight times without a miss. When I did make it back to the group - I wasn't allowed to hit the monster, because tanks take too much damage, and it's not worth the mana to heal while pets can do 5x the damage, and have extremely fast out of combat regen...
I honestly, honestly don't see how there will be any melee players making it to high levels, unless being power leveled or hitching along with 5 mages. I'm pretty much burnt out, and at only level 26. If it's simply a matter of scaling, and at high levels things will balance out (with better gear as well?), then that's just dumb - EQ was always about the journey, not about the raiding...
