Weird skill behaviour.

While facing some boss mobs(like in Thannakai temple elementalist) I noticed skills hit me for very weird numbers.

70 AL armor on all 5 slots. Don't have frenzy or heal sig.

Boss hit me for 200+ with obsidian flame.
I was getting hit for 72 by this same boss with silver armor.
Same boss starburst for 238. Is it just me or is this broken somehow? Anybody else noticed that?

Quite Vulgar [FUN]

Bosses do double dmg. I noticed that when I got nailed by a 150 dmg unnatural sig.

Getting hit by Dragon Stomp for 328 is not fun, especially when there are other Elementalists casting it alongside the boss.

Obsidian flame ignores armor. If the bosses really deal double damage, that's about right.

Ugh, yes, bosses deal double. It's -insane- at times. Especially ones that weild AoE skills.

Lol, anyone with henchies dare take on that lone monk boss in Undercity? That's another issue though.

I got hit by a 291 damage fireball while standing in a 12 specced Ward Against Harm in Boreas Seabed. Wasn't heal sigging or frenzying. 80 AL armor.

I hate dragon stomp!!

I had cast the ritualist spirit shelter, which is meant to make the max hit on me and my party 10% of total HP's however bosses and dragon stomp in particular still hit for 300+

The problem I had was that he spawned about 20 other guys. Probably had low DP to accentuate the pleasure of the surprise.

RE the Rt bosses, that 2nd mission on the island introduces you to the boss with Spirit Rift phenomenon. It can hurt for sure.
