I know to some people this is an issue but I think that you shouldn't nerf anymore. The challenge in Mirage was good when it was first came out and after the nerf I was confused because its not challenging/difficult. It's fun to have a strategy of how to kill and such instead of just asking Wizard101 to Nerf.
If Mirage was nerfed I am glad because I need henchmen just for street mobs! I cannot even imagine soloing it before!
It is already costing me a fortune just to play.
If I had to wait for people to help me with street mobs I'd be playing the same level for another ten years. OK that's a slight exaggeration. I don't like to ask for help either.
I don't mind hiring hench but it does get a little ridiculously difficult in places. They have low health but they hit hard every round and cast weakness and shield themselves the rest of the time. Oh and the street mobs can heal themselves, too.
