Shroud uber trash

[Demonnik-TR]

So, for a while now i've been seeing something very weird in shroud part 2
there will occasionally be 1-2 bearded devils or cats that seem to have incredibly high Spell resistance(fail on 20+46 roll)
and saves (consistent fail on 42 reflex and forts)

these are not the red named ones just incase your wondering if i'm confused

compared the "normal" bearded devils which I can finger reliably(beat SR on 1's) these guys are ridiculous
and while i haven't specifically tested all difficulties I have found this on hard and I think normal as well.

The HP may be outta whack too I can't exactly tell, but these devils seem to have extremely high stats when compared to everything else(including arraetrikos who fails most of my non-heightened necrotic rays)

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this? perhaps in a different quest?

They get a buff if they're next to one of the red names.

Nit sure which one or if it matters but say goodbye to reliably landing SR required spells on them.

[Demonnik-TR]

true but i believe some of these were encounters were before the center had been aggro'd
maybe i'm just paranoid dunno

Not sure if this in my head or not, but:

I usually keep my crafted HBSoGEOB on throughout while on my Ranger, since they're basically the best he owns anyway, and occasionally in Pt2 I'll see trash devils/orthons/bezekira with yellow numbers. So, I wasn't breaking their DR of which they shouldn't have any in the first place, and if they did, it'd be Silver (Good in the case of the kittys), which is what's in my hands... right? Sooooo, dunno, bug or stealth Uber trash?

The wiki has some vague info:

Each specific Lieutenant provides a bonus to all other nearby Lieutenants (close enough so they show an extra orb swirling around them) What it does, shows up in their buffs list. Below is some ideas, please edit this if you know exactly what effect is produced.

Earth Elemental = 20 DR/-
Kobold = Gives SR 50

Yes, but I'm talking about trash, not other loitnants...

Are they getting Epic Ward? That was an old bug that sometimes happened to non-epic critters.

Haven't had the chance to examine Combat, by the time we're done fighting, the trash combat is waaaaay off the log. But I'll make sure to look at their examine window next time.
