Like all of the named mobs - they (Dorn, Dvinn, Gixx, etal.) fite lots
harder than they con. I wonder who at V has the job of buffing & twinking
them.
Also - it's my belief that the color con is firstly and indicator of how
much xp you will get if you win the fight - NOT any indication of how hard
the fight will be.
These guys (Dvinn, Dorn, etc etc) have huge magic resists and some really
uber-buffs. At 32 I cruised through N Ro and some lev 15's talked me into
bouncing Dorn. Man was I glad to have their help! That little inkie took
me down below half HP.
I saw a lot of resists.
Beyond that - resists to chains - and I think all song spells have to pass
the 'random' resist test. Gnoll pups in Qeynos will resist me - so there is
a test that is not level difference based. maybe you hit a bad clump in the
Rnd generator (random number.)

Well, I was chaining SG's last night no problem. Maybe 1
resist in about 50
attempts. (I was soloing, so a LOT of chaining was used).
Later I was
walking by Dorn's camp and decided to kill him just to pass
a minute or two.
After pounding him down to within an inch of his life, he
started to run. I
fired up chains. Resist. Resist. Resist. Resist.
Resist. 5 resists
before it took. Dunno if its always been like this or not
with Dorn, last
time I fought him I was around level 15. Seemed strange
though.

Last night the Cerf.net servers all went down so I logged
into Tarrew
Marr to play my bard for the first time in a while. I
decided to go see
if I could kill some hill giants in W Commons and while
looking ran
across Kizdean Gix. He attacked dispite being 20 odd levels
below me and
I fired up chains intending to chain and fear him. Hmm. 8
resists in a
row. After killing him and determining there weren't any
hill giants in
the zone, I happened to spot some big wisp spawns and killed
them.
Again, wisps were resisting chains like crazy. Have resist
rates gone up
on chains lately? I don't remember having near this much
trouble last
time I played my bard. My druid can get snare to stick on
reds with more
reliability than this.
