But, really? 100 for Mounds? That seems a bit too much.
It depends. A lot of people feel the fasts are much more difficult. Really, if you think about it, the Poison Zombie is like a support class. Slow, a lot of health, and very good debuffs, but can't get in range fast enough to get a killing blow. If a fast comes in after a poison gets ya with his headcrabs, it's insta-death. It's debatable which is worse, since a lot of fasts can whittle you down over time.
Also, the xp gain from them makes them desirable to kill, while also not being too much to flood the "xp market". It seems to have struck a very good balance.
