You're right! You have to fight those apprentices exclusively from level 1 to level 51, and now that they cast mental jolt it's going to be almost impossible to get to hero.

Give me a break. I think the risk/reward ratio is way off on those mobs (and most special mobs in general), but seriously, it's just one low-level group of mobs. Solo ranking did not just get 100X more dangerous.
