Lich's Mantle of Invulnerability Issues

[LevelJ]

So far while facing the Liches in this update, I've noticed two spells that are blocked by their mantle of invulnerablilty, yet they shouldn't be. I tested both of these spells in EN MoD against the Abbott by firing them off about 40 or so times.

Disintegrate - The weird thing is I've had this work against Liches in the past, but it has been sort of hit-and-miss. With my tests against the Abbott in the new raid on EN, I was able to hit him with it about every 10 attempts or so. The rest of the tries were blocked by mantle.

Sunburst - This just flat doesn't work. I've never seen it do damage to a Lich. I tried it in the raid and got only Shiradi sonic/force damage. Once or twice it came up with the light damage above the Abbot's head as 'Immune'. The rest were blocked by mantle

The annoying thing is that disintegrate didn't show up in the combat log, and sunburst only showed up about three times as "You begin to cast sunburst". The only thing that appeared damage-wise was the notification of those times when I hit the Abbott with disintegrate successfully, and the occasional Shiradi sonic/force damage.


These spells would be very useful to certain classes against liches, and it would be nice to see if we could get them fixed at some point, since they are above the spell level requirements to hit through Mantle. Feel free to post any other spells I may have missed.

Sunburst is bugged, as a dev copied the Blindness spell for it's blinding effect, somehow including Blindness' level.

Liches also have a Disintergration-proof vest, which stops a certain percentage of disintergrates.

So disintegrate's WAI? Dang, that stinks. But yea, need another dev to fix that spell level thing.

Edit: Found the list from the wiki finally-

(Taken from Wiki)

Cyclonic Blast (V) - the gust portion appears to be copied from Gust of Wind, Mantle treats the entire spell as a level 2 spell
Greater Shout (VI/VIII) - some portion appears to be copied from Shout, Mantle treats the entire spell as level 4
Sunburst (VIII) - the blindness portion appears to be copied from Blindness, Mantle treats the entire spell as level 2

Boulder Toss - Tier 1 Fury of the Wild
Avenging Light - Tier 1 Exalted Angel
Wild Shots - Tier 1 Shiradi Champion

Not sure if Boulder Toss still counts since it's not considered a spell anymore.
