Xala'shar vanquisher special move needs to be removed

Can the special move that the vanquishers have be removed? The one that gives you 2 internal eye bleeders and makes you blind.
Whoever thought to add that to a hunting critter made a huge mistake and basically made this area unhuntable because of it.

Special attacks have always been an issue. I don't understand why they don't get any attention from staff. There are more than a few critters that are borderline unhuntable because of special attacks that don't seem to conform to core mechanics.

On behalf of the myriad number of Dragon Priest Assassins that I've watched advance on me from missile range to melee, only slightly less stealthily than an elephant donning neon pink lingerie while trying to ride an unicycle through a cat flap, yet still somehow manage to hamstring me, I cry shenanigans.
All kidding aside, special attacks are certainly a bit unbalanced at the higher end and could use a look over.

And it's been 'fixed' once post DR3. Crazy right?
I have to agree with the prior posters, some special attacks are downright insane or are legacy of bygone eras. Things like Germish Din's bone throw tanking balance on shield blocks vs nothing on dodges annoy.

Yes please, all of the tier 2-4 xala'shar special abilities should be re-evaluated/re-tuned these areas are wasted as it stands and completely un-used.

I was going to post about this but saw it was suggested a while back, so I'll just bump it.
It's so disappointing when you find a creature in the perfect skill range and box status, only to discover they're not huntable most of the time.

This attack and a few more like it (I'm looking at you DP sentinels) are so broken, they just need to be turned off. I got tagged by both attacks in the past few days simply as I was traveling through the areas. This is with mid 1450 shield and almost 1600 evasion and I'm still losing eyeballs and taking fire arrow hits.
Please, please, turn off special attacks until the staff has a chance to properly address them.

January 20th:
[7:23 PM] Zadraes: Time keeps getting away from me. -_- I think I'm going to tackle Xala'shar special attack(s) for next week...putting them on the special attack utility instead of broken custom stuff.
January 22nd: You guys revive this thread.
Get out of my head.
Also, go play with vanquishers and vindicators.

Speaking of Xala'shar: it's really weird, lore-wise, that the Xala'shar magus cast Malediction.

Becomes a lot more interesting lore wise if you view it as further proof that Holy energy isn't explicitly connected to Immortals themselves, and might just be a more generalized "greater beings."
Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.
