All mermaids in Kedge are druids. If you have anyone that can cast nullify
or an enchanter to pillage I would go that route over using bard dispel
song. They will stinging swarm/creeping crud you, which is not a big deal.
The main thing is they tend to hit pretty hard in melee and can their nukes
hurt. They use ignite and combust alot seemingly with a 999 channelling
skill. They will also use avalanche (or pogonip, whatever the 40-ish
ice-based druid rain spell is called), which can really HURT. When fighting
any of the casting mobs in kedge, pixie strike them as soon as you see them
casting (especially when they try to G Heal themselveS). With my group, we
are stunning, slamming, and pixie striking our asses off on maids and they
don't last too long. Normally the puller is the only one taking much damage.
