An update here:
I lowered the difficulty of the trash, nameds and bosses in the zone. They should now line up a lot closer to Kael/SSra difficulty.
I also lowered the % damage done by the bosses with some of their special attacks. I spent a little time with a RL buddy in the zone and we were getting rocked back and forth. So Kael geared players should find the bosses to be a lot more manageable now.
And finally aggro radius was lowered significantly for all npcs. Trash have the smallest, then nameds, then bosses.
Everything should be live as of now. If anyone is playing around in the zone, I'd appreciate any feedback on the changes

Oh the fun you all are going to have in DSK3...
