Miscellaneous: Amygdalan Warriors / Knights

[guineapig]

I thought it was just the knights that do it but last night I swear it was a warrior that drained all my mana.

These guys are proc'ing some sort of mana syphon spell but they are doing it like multiple times a second. Also, with 140MR I am getting the "you resisted" message but my mana pool is dropping anyway. Very often if the agro is on me I will see 4-5 resist messages but my mana pool ends up completely drained anyway.

I don't see it posted anywhere that either of these mobs should even have this ability so just wanted confirmation on that.

Could somebody also check to see if the resist messages are bugged?

Finally, the frequency at which they proc this ability also seems drastically wrong to me.

Of course I could be wrong, but these are my recent observations.

and some quotes

Amygdalan Warriors (level 48-52) - These look like....well, they look pretty unique. Picture a big weird-looking hercules type dude with an Octopus for a head. If you know what an Illithid or Mind Flayer is, that's what they look like. They are Warrior mobs, which means they have high defensive skills, high MR (Difficult to mez - priority target) and hit pretty hard. They also have the effect of Mana Sink every time they hit you
Nautilus Shield ( 7 WT, 20 AC, +5 STR, +5 DEX, +5 STA, Warrior)
Amygdalan Tendril( 9 DMG 25 DLY 2 WT, +5 STR, +4 DEX, Warrior).

Amygdalan Knights (level 48-52)- Look like Amy Warriors, but have pets, cast SK spells, and can HT your ass for a very large amount of damage. Like Amy warriors, these cast Mana Sink with every hit, and they are also able to fear. These drop Shadowknight-only Umbral Armor.
Umbral Platemail Boots ( 4.9 WT, +17 AC, +5 STR, +5 STA, +13 SVD)
Umbral Platemail Helm ( 4.5 WT, +17 AC, +9 INT, +35 HP, +10 SVM)
Umbral Platemail Vambraces ( 4.9 WT, +16 AC, +5 STR, +5 DEX, +10 SVF)
Umbral Platemail Greaves ( 5.6 WT, +17 AC, +5 WIS, +5 AGI, +13 SVP)
Umbral Platemail Bracer ( 3.0 WT, +10 AC, +3 INT, +5 DEX)
Umbral Platemail Breastplate ( 7.5 WT, +30 AC, +13 STR, +9 DEX, +9 STA)
Umbral Platemail Guantlets ( 3.8 WT, +13 AC, +5 STR, +5 INT, +35 MANA, +10 SVC)

If you are resisting it, your mana should not drop though. Not sure whats up with that.

Thanks for the reply. I can't be 100% sure of what's going on because it all tends to happen pretty damn fast.

But basically, I will typically see at least 4-5 resist messages yet I'm practially OOM by the time the mob gets pulled off of me or killed. Of course, the number I'm missing is how many times I got hit in total. Also, I'm not certain how much mana they are supposed to steal each time they hit you, if I knew that maybe I could figure out if it's working correctly or not. I'll just have to count the amount of resists versus the number of hits and do the math.

I'll try to pay closer attention next time we are in fear and post my findings.
