Is Void Bolt supposed to be that painful...?

Hi! I’m posting this here because I kinda get the feeling this isn’t right.

There’s this specific ability that the some of the Skardyn (the Spellshaper I think?) use in the Taelloch Mine area, and the little Tainted Fragment sprites. It’s called Void Bolt, and it’s been ripping through my health in about 6 casts. And since three Tainted Fragment spawn at a time, and they cast it repeatedly… it’s really not fun.

I actually screenshotted my combat log from when I noticed them- a few times, actually, on both my Shaman and my Mage. Here are a few of the numbers they were doing to me on my Shaman & Mage. I can add the screenshots as well if people would like.

From my Shaman:

  • Corrupted Spellshaper Void bolt hit you 386,955
  • Tainted Fragment Void Bolt hit you 386,955
  • Tainted Fragment Void Bolt hit you 161,701 (225,254 overkill)

From my Mage:

  • Tainted Fragment Void Bolt hit you 22,450 (77,486 absorbed)
  • Tainted Fragment Void Bolt hit you 99,937
  • Corrupted Spellshaper Void Bolt hit you 94,200 (5,736 overkill)

My shaman is a little undergeared at the moment since I did just get her to level 80, but I really feel like this is a little much. I had the same issue with my mage while leveling her, I could barely get through the area because they just kept spawning when I killed any Skardyn.

My friend thinks it’s some kind of scaling issue, I think?

Has anyone else been dealing with this? I didn’t see any posts here talking about it, but that could just be me and my bad eyes.

Came here for a solution as well, figured maybe im doing something wrong, since they are absolutely BLASTING me. Im properly geared for this area at this point, and they are still demolishing me quickly even with buffs and healing abilities (lock).
