Ritualist's Armor Bugged?

Is it just me or are the elementalist's doing way too much damage with their spells? I was doing the mission in Raisu Palace, and the Shiro'ken Elementalists' Star Burst dealt 180 damage to me, even though I was wearing 60 AR armor. I was shocked to see that damage output, I don't even receive that much damage on my monk in Prophecies against other Lv 28 Elementalist Bosses in Prophecies. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

same here. They made ele foes very powerful somehow. Not only for Rt, I've seen high numbers on A, N and even W.

At 16 Fire Magic, Star Burst does 119 damage. However, due to level difference you should be taking more damage than that. Even Warriors take rather large amounts of damage from Shiro'ken Elementalists.

The bosses in Cantha appear to be doing 2x damage & have faster casting ability as a tradeoff for normal hex durations.

I've gotten hit with a 235 point Channeled Strike from a boss while wearing 60 AC armor on my monk.

Oh yeah? I got hit by a -165 signet of judgement.. and a -150 Shove. Level difference shouldnt effect the first one (the boss was only lvl 22)

EDIT: aah, the 2x damage thing would explain those

It's funny how fast Sliver Armor will wipe away half a team in Raisu Palace too.
