Originally these were intended to be group mobs. I was given the impression that there was not enough "Solo" content in the Epic. So I toned these down from triple ups to advanced solos. Yes, they may require two people (The SK and a Healer) but at least you do not require a full group like many of the other fights!
Somehow easy solo mobs just did not seem "Epic" to me, but at the same time I didn't want someone to have to enlist an entire group for the duration of this stage.
