Am I just hallucinating or have the DM E lashers been nerfed again? It seems as if the drop rate has been reduced and there’s a lot more “empty” lashers. Just curious if anyone else noticed the same.
I hope not, I made this mage primarily for DM:E farming. Oh well I can still excel in literally every other aspect of the game and other farm spots.

REALLY? wow ok thanks! I’ve just been getting carried in mara for leveling so I might try to learn it
I was asking this yesterday about world mobs in popular farming spots.
I’m guessing they prefer to just keep ninja nerfing rather than actually get rid of all the bots.

I love doing mara boosts for people, everyone loves you for boosting them, the gold per hour is insane (4 people paying 8g per run with 12min runs), you can help out your guild and friends with their alts and boost up your own from a second account.
It’s a really fun pull as well, I get a bit of an adrenaline rush every time I’m about to blizzard down all the mobs, it looks easy buts its actually fairly difficult until you pass the learning curve stage.
Don’t get put off if it takes a while to nail the pull, I spent 4-5 days of practice before I could get it reliably enough to sell carries, one of the reasons mara boosts pay so well is because not many mages can do it and the alot of the ones who do arnt very good at it.

I love this post. I have rolled a mage to try this out myself.
True yeah I want to learn it some day. People im buying from make thousands a day because theyre really good at it. 4 people who pay 60g for 5 runs each= 240g/hr like wow especially if you res epics that’s even more per hour
ZF zombies kicked my butt when I tried that farm. 
Looks like I’ll have to git gud at it though, if DM E has been cut short again.
Hopefully DM:E hasn’t been nerfed. That’s been my go to gold farming spot as a pally. Lol
Not with the price for herbs/potions on my server. DME averages me around 100g/hour.
Warlocks do DME way better, can solo even bosses, charm demons, and mine at the end.
Mage just does lashers, it’s better to just ZF zombie farm.

If mage is herbalist, it’s good gold per hour and pretty chill. Without herbalism it’s pretty meh.

Spent a lot of time there this last weekend. I’ve also lived inside DME since it launched. Item drops are pretty much the same since Dire Maul was released. Sometimes you go a day or two without seeing something like mithril lockboxes, then some days I’ll loot four or five.
I can’t tell any difference from then and now, and I just logged my 67,000th lasher kill on my home PC according to kill tracker. Add a couple thousand more kills on my laptop while traveling for work. I think my sample size here is large enough.
Also, that 0.2% drop rate for Undeath to Water transmute on Classic DB is BS. My odds of having not seen it after that many kills is insanely low.

Outta curiosity, in all those kills, how many epics have you gotten?
Mages can do all of that (minus enslave demons) + AoE down 3-4 packs of satyrs at once.

Good riddance. Mages are stupid easy and overpowered in classic.

Been like that for 15 years
I get one about every 5k kills
Three Hammers of the Northern Wind
Two Lifestones
Two Destiny’s
Two Taran Icebreakers
Two Hurricanes
One Glowing Brightwood Staff
One Stockade Pauldrons
Add all that up, and it’s not worth half of what one freezing band would go for 
The epics you want from the lashers are Krol Blade and Freezing Band. Rest are not worth much.
I started doing ZF on my mage at 43, pulling only 3-6 mobs for practice. Now i can clear the gy in 3 pulls with my mage lvl 51.
Im looking forward to start doing DME the soon as possible XD
