In both the Axe of Stone quest and the Elven Ceremonial objects quest I am faced with a dungeon that is a breeze to go through only to be met with an opponent at the end that seriously kicks my behind! I'm not sure what spell the lady was using on me, hellspikes I think, but it was hitting for 300 to 400 damage a pop and kept me from attack since everytime it she cast it on me my character would run around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to find a place to stand that wasn't spike infested. I was using both shield spells but neither had any affect on the spikes and the constant running around was keeping me from doing any attacking period not to mention the fact that I was pumping F1 pretty fast due to the combination of the spikes and the deathknight spells. I had the same problem with the wizard guarding the Axe of Stone, but I cheesed my way out of that one by running all the way back to the sentry with him following me, then I went into stealth mode and headed back to the Axe. He reappears there and then departs, leaving me to the Axe. I'm level 38 but have only 440 vitality, haven't found any decent runes to increase it much. I usually kill stuff from a distance so in close combat life sucks!
