I thought it was interesting to note just how big the difference was between Lahabrea's fight and Nabriales'. Lahabrea was particularly easy - a total cakewalk - in comparison to Nabriales, and I think a lot of that is down to the power of Hydaelyn's blessing. Shorn of our blessing as we were, what would otherwise have been an absurdly easy fight became a serious threat to our mortal existence. Where even the pathetic ilvls (an abstraction to represent our personal power) we had at launch was enough to ignore most of Lahabrea's attacks, we needed all of our skill, might, and mental faculties to defeat Nabriales without falling victim to his (and note that we had improved by leaps and bounds since the time we fought Lahabrea).
I'll be very curious to see how they handle these things moving forward. Will Midgardsormr serve to bolster our strength in lieu of Hydaelyns' Blessing? Or will we be forced to carry ourselves on our own two legs against such supernatural might?
