Anyone else run a TBM mission as of late with a group gear tank? I had a couple boxes I wanted to get flagged for the missions, so I went through the motions and did Into The Temple B in Crypt of Sul. Much to my surprise my full conflagrant 20k AA 109 SK was getting rolled, even when raid buffed. The blue con golems were taking me to 20% life in single rounds occasionally and I had to pop discs on any two pull of the other trash mobs. I tried another HA after that and the blue con bokons weren't quite as bad as the golems in crypt, but they were still far harder than I remember them being a couple years ago when I ran these missions with far worse gear. Everything in TBM seems to have as many hps as CotF named, too. It's whack.
It was scaled up and left that way, all request to have it looked up is being ignored. If you search around on bugs forum you will find it.
It was reported as a bug several times and closed down as not being a bug - which strictly speaking is true. I have pursued the issue a lot myself but it ended up as just feedback - valid feedback as per Ngreth but they are yet to revert all of the changes. The spell changes were reverted by Prathun shortly before he left the team but he was not able to complete the melee damage and other changes required for a complete reversion and so they remain in effect.

Not sure if a few levels makes a difference (though, it apparently does)... I ran this with my 3-box in December, Dru/SK/Mag, all at level 111, and had no issues at all. SK was in Snowbound (ToV group gear), melee x 2/healer x 1 mercs, with one melee merc being A5 because that account (MAG) was not subbed.
As a group geared tank (SK) I didn't have much issue with the trash. The named in HAs, though were brutal. Towards the end of TBM, I would just drop the mission if a named spawned. The open world named weren't nearly as tough.
