Submitted a ticket for this but want to get the word out here too.

At the final part when rescuing warden Hywel, the Krait priestess summons 3-4 additional Krait. However with their new poison field abilities they kill Hywel in his cage making the mission impossible to complete. In addition the small platform allows them to stack these fields and instantly down a character of substantially higher level. (i.e. level 75, mission level is 64) This was not isolated, but occurred 3 separate times in succession when trying the mission.

Also maybe tone down the mobs a bit. With the new buffs the mission is really hard.

There are two issues that I’ve addressed and handed off to QA.

1 – The krait witches in both this story step and Liberating Apatia recently got a new summon skill, which just doesn’t work well for this content, so I removed it from the story bosses

2 – Hywel is a non-combatant, but he was able to be killed by a special poison attack that was bypassing his status. I’ve fixed this so he won’t despawn if killed.

I can’t provide an ETA for when these fixes will go live, but they’re been fixed, and we’re currently testing the fixes. Thanks!
