The specs can go as high as lvl. 37, so I can only guess that the feerott
specs were not as high a level when you were soloing them.
Otherwise, I can't imagine how you could get any spells to stick on a mob 5
levels above yourself.

The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies
with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, but powerful. So
don't listen, remember that, do not listen.
