an archon of malevolence  

This guy is a cleric and he will complete heal if you don't get him dead fast enough.

There is another npc that is an enchanter, and it will charm you. "a phantasmist malevolence" or something like that.

He doesn't seem to drop anything more then the other luggalds in this area.
- the ever present luggald dagger which sells like FS weaps
- sharpened luggald claw
- gems
- words
- and the occasional luggald flesh

This guy and the chanter version seem best handled by a fear kite if you can do it. Keep the area clear and watch those spawn timers. Last thing you want is one of these guys poping in the middle of fighting one of his buddies. Their complete heals and ill timed nukes can turn an easy fight into a pain the ***.

Hmm... no posts here yet. Here's some info on this mob, then. They appear to be wizard-types, as their blasts seem fire-based and do a lot of damage. They will root you like many casters, and every now and then they will gate, although that could be one of the mob bugs floating around in the game.

Of course, they also hit like melees.

My typical Luggald Caves group is in the mid-high 40's - Monk, cleric, and Chanter (me), and rogue (also me). We could handle everything in there pretty easily up until the corner past the bridge. Mobs are tougher there, and it was harder to keep the spawns clear.

I haven't been back since my chanter was 44 (focusing on the ships now), so I don't know how much easier it is.
