PA gutted shadow lion hunting with the 20% hp increase; effective hunting requires passing a dps check to avoid its mechanics
The setup before this patch already required an awakening sovereign with reforge stones, a deathblow set equipped, rings with crit cups, harmonies, and deep sea to kill these optimally during the roaring animation
Now with the HP increased by 20%, the only new buffs introduced were the reforge stones stats from mainhand and offhand, which not only requires 2 more sovereigns on the hunting character, but also does not make up for a huge 20% increase to hunting mob HP
