<p>Mobs called soullight cast something called Spirit Barrier with effects as follows:</p><ul><li>When damaged this spell has a 25% chance to cast Spirit Barrier on caster.  Lasts for 10.0 seconds.</li></ul><ul><li>When damaged this spell has 24% chance to cast spirit Barrier on caster.</li></ul><p>           Lasts for 10.0 seconds.               (<span style="color: #33cccc;">Why is this repeated twice anyway</span>?)</p><ul><li>Reduces all damage done to caster by 95%</li><li>Reduces all damage done to caster by 95%</li></ul><p>Okay, so when soullights cast this, it can take forever (sometimes) to kill them.  It's very dull and boring as for some reason this buff seems to be almost permanently on with some of the mobs.  I have 1 interrupt (not a quick cast) with a cooldown, and I have 1 stifle with a much longer cooldown.  It's not fun sitting here nuking my heart out watching that life bar come down in minute increments, I get bored and wish the quest was over already.  I don't mind them having this buff, but they could do with a cooldown and maybe a slightly longer cast so all players can respond in time, I'm not exactly Miss Quickfingers here, but I'm not in a scripted raid either so I shouldn't need to be <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" />  Or you could give Furies some interrupts on death swarm *nudge nudge, wink wink*</p>

<p>The reason the info is repeated is because the spell is recursive. It has a chance to trigger itself if the mob is damaged while the spell is active. Obviously burning them down does not work terribly well, but you have already posted all the information you need to defeat them more easily.</p>
