A Not So Soothing Nerf

[MongoJerry]

Even if you were merely exploring, the ability to bypass "swarms of 59-62 elite hydras and nagas" strikes me as something that just might have a desperate need to be examined and action taken to make sure this was the intended result of using the ability at any time by anyone.

You're talking about a not-yet-implemented zone, and "swarm" was probably an overdramatic statement of mine. Presumably, there will be better placed mobs when the island is developed, along with guards in the underground passage leading to the King. Plus, when the assumed escort quest happens, Mind Soothe isn't going to help you at all, as the King won't know to hug the walls, hills, or go around buildings. Anyway, my warlock and mage friends were able to get to the same spot on their own without trouble, so it's not like Mind Soothe was the overpowered skill in your example.
