Does anyone else feel these guys are overpowered? I'm backingtraining weapons and armor and I got smacked down in about 3 hits with 816 shield and 837 evasion.Granted my armors are 400 but that still seems way excessive.

Yeah pretty sure they were from special attacks. Was there an issue with them in Prime?

Definitely sounds like they weren't fixed for your instance. I fight there in prime with no troubles* and around the same armor ranks (and lower shield/evasion).

* - no troubles except for their various special attacks, which are on the scale of "annoying to very annoying." The zealots there have a move that can take me, e.g., from zero wounds to a shattered chest. Thieves get no immunity to their sleep poison (it's not "real" poison). Fire blegh. Those things all very rarely hit me, though.
