i say someone test it and see if it pays out or not :P

difficulty + risks + money you invest vs money you get in return + magic items + magic clothes + raw materials

Could you explain how it differs from the past? All we've gotten are simple "this sucks" or "you suck" replies.

I'd rather see better spell fizzling from elemental weapons, would make the almighty lunar/solar/tear more efficient in PvM.

It's only snograz, being good in hunts right now since if you poison it with your weapon it will start casting cure on itself and poison you. Yeah, it is risky to your side (depending on the mob).

The other elemental weapons could be something better than what they currently are. Either fizz the spells from elemental dmg or double the damage from the element, penetrated trough reactive armor to fizz the spell(s).

With the current elemental weapons its irrelevant to hunt casting stuff even if the elemental weapons do hurt (with newb damage) most of the creatures out there.

Very tough to kill it now, considering that it seems to be very hard to disturb its snowstorm now. And I guess everyone knows how fucked up the snowstorm is :P

To point out a fact that mobs of type likes this, requires either a decent group to take down, or enough room to fight.

You can't have both at a time since the mobs are usually placed in those irrelevant places where not even a decent group finds to fight it rather humanly. Considering the Area the snowstorm covers.

If you boost elemental dmg, it affects both PvM and PvP. That's no option. Not to mention there already is additional "opposing elemental damage", wich doesn't apply to Voids - but you get the point.

What comes to Deceit and killing the Void, it's easier just to take away the blocking wall - if it seems to be significally harder to kill.

Yep, the area is still too small for the group to 'stand by' as players actually have to prepare for their prey. It's not like we're getting 2000 mana out of one pocket when i see fighters and the other 2000 mana from the other pocket when i see casters ;p
