ToV symbols....

Ok...I know you guys want ToV armor to be hard to get but come on. Nerfing mobs to only drop one symbol is rediculous, especially after you beefed them up so much. They are rediculously hard now, and if they're only gonna drop one they should be doable with an average group. The risk vs reward is way off..
What I'm saying is that to make them worth raiding they should either have another loot added to them (an actual item, maybe with 340 hp or something along those lines) or drop two symbols again.

Who only drops 1 symbol - they should drop 2 all. We are talking about East Wing right?

Please always post name of the Encounter so i can check. There are so many mobs and each have his own AE. With the growing content it makes my life much easier.

To summarize -
the idea is that you need 2 good groups to take out symbol droppers and each symbol dropper drops 2 symbols.
Armor can be gotten with a single group. Mobs are tough but doable.
Dragons should face a real problem to any raid. They are not meant to be pushovers. IF you struggle with them, good! ToV is not mean't to be able to beat anything first try.
Once you gear up and have more or less complete sets of Frozen Armor in your raid force and more weapons/items from Emporer, ToV will become much easier.
But its intended that way - > instead of having everyone do 30 stupid mini quests to get a key as timesink, i decided that you have to gear up first as timesink which shouldn't be annoying really.
Now, if i went overboard with 1 AE or the mini bosses in ToV, please give me names and i'll gladly check

Can't remember the name right now, but it was one of the drake named that began with a C. It dropped 1 Black Symbol ( I believe that was the named ). As for the AE, it's rough but can be handled. Although with AE ramp + a 3k AE (which we saw on all the named we tried tonight), it can get rough at times. Once we figured out our healing situation it worked out okay though.

Name was Casalen and he indeed dropped only 1 symbol. It was a late addition to the East Wing and the only Drake who is able to drop different Symbols. Oversight on my part but fixed now. So sorry for this!
This mob doesn't have any sort of Rampage so this is fine. It should be either AE Rampage or AE DD for those mobs.
I'll check other Symbol droppers to make sure no nasty surprises await!

Ok, all checked. Lowered the max hit by 750 from the dudes who ae rampage to keep that more doable.
Please let me know how it works out.
