>>Three new high-level creatures have been sighted in Asketi's Mount and the Temple of the North Wind!
>>- The Vela'Tohr Outlook is now home to misty black zephyrs.
>>- The lower floor of the temple is now home to bony wind wretches and ragged wind hags, who have driven out the marble gargoyles which previously resided there. The gargoyles are now cursed creatures, and they patrol the barren summit outside.
>>- The upper floor of the temple is now home to lesser North Wind banshees.
Does anybody have any feedback on what skill range these creatures are?
Any chance you can set them up in TF for us so we can check them out too?
Thanks in advance -

Thanks for the feedback!
Hags and wretches will no longer drain spirit. This was a remnant of their invasion-only days.
Zephyrs will now use their special abilities somewhat less often. Also, they should spawn slightly more when there's more than than one hunter, slightly more quickly, and near hunters more often.
>>Any chance you can set them up in TF for us so we can check them out too?
Probably next week. As it's all enmeshed with the area updates affecting two provinces, I'm being extra cautious.

>Banshees - 1000+ Possibly 1100+<
They are teaching although be it slowly over 1250's. But here's the thing with them...
With 1050 in main weapon and over and 1250+ in defenses they don't really cause me any physical harm. They teach these skills very slowly (got to 10's in them after 15 minutes). They have glass jaws and die in 2-3 hits (I one-hit killed several of them yesterday, which I didn't think was still a thing). Yet, with 100 in all mentals and charisma, their spirit attack is taking me down to the 50's after that 15-minutes. All together this seems to be a bit off. I can't imagine how they must be to someone for whom these are truly "at level".

Yikes, that's a bit rough. For whatever it's worth, it seemed to be a Something vs. Fortitude contest, as my Tranquility was working against it. It blocked one, then was broken by a second one that also ate 20% of my spirit. I have a feeling your Fortitude score is going to be just as good as your mentals though, if not better. That begs the question, however...should a stat contest even be doing spirit damage in the first place? I thought potentially lethal attacks had to be, well, attacks.
Needless to say, I didn't stick around very long to try them out after my barrier promptly broke (and took my discipline buff with it...grr). I probably would have done better if I were boosting my stamina instead of penalizing it, but then I wouldn't have even been able to try to attack them. I never even got around to trying to hit them though, so I'm still not even sure whether or not they're corporeal. It seemed like they would be in the "difficult-but-doable" realm for me as far as defending against them if not for the whopping special attack.
Thanks,
