Irritator

The Spec Ops end drain is not nearly as powerful as the Malta Sappers. Besides, Spec Ops don't use it every time, only sometimes. Malta use it every chance they get. When I get hit by a Spec Ops, I lose 1/2 - 3/4 of my endurance. I can still fight.

I went through all the Malta arcs as a regen scrapper so I am familiar with having my endurance drained and my toggles dropped. I died sometimes but it was fun. The Malta were a challenge because they were more difficult than a Rikti Monkey and they were something different. The Longbow are the same. They are new and different with a little challenge. I was happy when I got my first really big Longbow spawn and saw bosses with controller pets. I had to change my tactics but we won.

The Longbow are fine. They are not too hard, they just present a different challenge than other mobs. Why is it that I play a necro MM (whose pets are very weak to fire) and I have never had a problem with Longbow Flamethrowers, even in multiples? Just plan your attacks, think about what you're doing and don't try to take on more than you can handle.

BTW, don't forget to play dirty, we're villains for cryin out loud.
