Why the experience nerf

[AssA]

I've done the Ancients 5 or 6 times now between Normal and Nightmare, both alone and with large parties.

In every case every player who didn't have the quest got a single level. I think the reward has changed.

I'm also sure that the Ancients do less damage than before, or perhaps they weren't scaled up quite as much as the other monsters. In either case they are certainly easier.

That's not that bad. In hell difficulty, the Ancients were just TOO strong, imho. I remember the leap attacker doing over 3500 hp's with a single hit, only the fact that I was in Wereform saved me there, as I got set to 1 hp in Druid form.

Anyway, I'll check how much experience I get when I defeat the ancients, which should be in two days ;)

And as for that so called experience nerf, normal difficulty certainly gives more experience than before, I'm about 2 levels higher than I normally am in the Kurast Bazaar; I'm already lvl 26.
