Simple answer, damage resistance. If you have a 29 in the vault that is REALLY good at running relic, let em. More DPS on Atheon. However at 29 the Minotaur in the Venus portal will drop you down below critical, and the goblins will finish the job. As for the Hobgoblins, so long as you can get 2 or all 3 with the first bash (to pop their shields) you will be fine.
All that being said, if you have a 30+ get teleported and he knows what he is doing, let him do it. Much safer and he does more damage to adds.

Hob-gobs live the smash if you're level 29... you actually have to hit them all twice...
-
I'm aware of this, but it is possible to do if you can get them to pop their shields before you get hit.

I know, I'm just saying it is MUCH harder for a level 29. I have only went through as a 29 once on hard and man the damage give/take ratios are insanely different than being level 30+... right side is actually easier as people can help you kill the mini and gobs before the oracle even spawns.

I agree it is much easier as 30, which is why level 30+ are basically expected to grab the relic.

Luckily most players are above level 30 now that van gear can get you to 31:P I mean I have two 32's and 1 31(soon to be 32) and I will always grab the relic even though I have a G-horn... Just because I am fan-fcuking-tastic with it.
