ToH Monster: Feedback?

[Krumb]

Frankly unless the gms specifically pick monsters that give snipers a really hard time, they'll always find a way to beat them.??

High Def Monster. example, Ice titans:??They'd be round 3-5.??So a max of 5 titans means 200k health with 71 def.??A sniper could fa them to death in 2 mins no sweat, with careful use of arrows in the delay gaps.??

In item trial its even worst as Defender (in the case of Turtle General) doesn't stop FA from doing full damage. Unless these item trial monsters have 10k+ health, the snipers will run right over them.

Pneuma monster. Example, Bio High Priest:??Ok, now were getting somewhere. Careful positioning can take care of some problems, or just running like mad and using FA to deal damage works too.

High Spike Damage Monster. Example, Past ToHs:??High damage monsters still have to get through traps/flee.??A line of ankle snares can usually slow down a monster long enough for a sniper to down it. Many of us remember the Incarnation of Morroc (the freaky upside down girl) final trial where 4 people out of 60+ defeated it, two being snipers. A newer example would be Observation, which was pretty brutal for many, yet snipers could lay a long line of traps and easily kill the angel ?girl? before she got too close.

Snipers are on the higher end of pvm, and excel at fighting many different types quickly and efficiently.??Chances are when you throw something at snipers to try and bring them down to the rest of the pack, you're going to be killing most of said pack.

Sorry to rant a bit, but shifting item/monster trial with harder monsters could backfire in a lot of ways, and I'd rather not crush the little guy just because the higher ups think the event is too easy. I really like the idea of using two different maps for item trial, but rather than a ranged only map and everyone else, just splitting it up into two evenish groups appeals more. We're putting too many people in too small an area, but giving people some space would cut down on the kill stealing.
