Description
Current Behaviour
Scarlet Chaplains (ID 4299) in the Scarlet Monastery (Library & Cathedral) cast regular-strength Power Word: Shield (rank 6, ID 6066), absorbing 350-400 damage at level 34 & 35, regardless of player count.
Especially when playing solo at the appropriate level, that's tough to get through.
Expected Behaviour
The strength of the mobs' Power Word: Shield is also scaled according to player count, having lowered absorption values when scaled down and higher ones when scaled up.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Use default config apart from setting AutoBalance.LevelScaling=0 to ensure consistent results.
- Enter Scarlet Monastery (Library) with a single character without a party.
- Engage a Scarlet Chaplain (found in the second half of the dungeon). They should cast Power World: Shield on themselves (and subsequently other engaged mobs) almost immediately.
- Deal damage and track amounts to confirm that the Shield's absorption is indeed ~400 and thus not scaled down.
Extra Notes
From a quick search, I don't believe there are other mobs in instances that cast Power Word: Shield specifically. But there might be other damage-capped absorption shield spells which are being used and also not scaled.
Admittedly, this might technically not be a bug because it's note damage/health as such. But it feels like it should be in scope regardless since enemy healing is also being scaled.
