Battle Notes

• Racial Type: Humanoid Monster
• Flayers have physical-to-poison damage conversion on their attacks. They also have additional damage mitigation against poison.
• Flayers are the "leaders" of their groups, due to their speed buffs. Killing the Flayers first will make the rest of the group easier to defeat.
• Each normal Flayer will look a little different, as each is assigned 1 of 3 random pieces of armor (chest or legs).
• All elite Flayers will always have the full armor "set" equipped.

Special Abilities:

• Hard Hit - a melee attack with significantly boosted damage and chance to hit.
• Speed Scream - this temporary buff (10s) resembles the Paladin's Fanaticism. It increases the attack rating and movement speed of the Flayer and any of its allies.
• Cloak of Shadows (elites only) - like the Assassin's spell of the same name, this buff bestows a transparent "invisibility" effect on the Flayer. Though the player can still target the Flayer normally, the buff gives the Flayer a very large chance to evade bonus.
