This is a level 14 quest in the Asura line and it is nearly impossible for certain classes. as an engineer I could easily kite the Veteran Harpy around. I tried this on my Thief and it’s impossible. I cannot survive a single hit against the Harpy and ALL my trait points are in toughness and vitality.
I even bought a bow (dual wield daggers normally) to try and see if I can kite it around but it makes no difference, as soon as my endurance is 0 i’m dead, the damage is ludicrous.
I’m a fairly advanced player (I have a level 80 engineer) and I can imagine people new to such games will be hurling their monitors through their windows in frustration. Seems like I will have to wait until I am level 30 and have my elite skill in the hope I can somehow defeat the harpy then. I have researched into this and I know after the Harpy is dead I have to fight yet another Veteran Destroyer (this time a crab)!
