There are no level 8 solos to compare her to, and she honestly looks a lot like the level 9 white dragon, possibly even better. She is using a +2 berserker heavy flail, and its power is figured into her abilities (that's why her defenses are so low).The regen 5 and resist all 5 is what's making me unsure. The consume soul is also uber nasty, but that can be avoided completely by killing her mooks first (knowledge check to know what powers the enemy has).What do you guys think? Is this thing too nasty for a level 8 solo?
