Tecmos Deception

60 cleric and 60 chanter killed Tserrina twice the day after beta went up, both times she was a total, 100% pushover. She didn't resist a single MR-base spell after Tashanian, and she even managed to stay fettered while I landed 6, full-damage chanter nukes. She never once tried to charm, though I don't know if her spending 95% of the two fights aggrod on my animation because of root is the reason why she didn't do any charming.
I didn't really think she'd be too nasty, but it looks like she might be easier than she should be based on old zam comments, although these comments do range pretty widely in their descriptions of her difficulty:
60 cleric getting 50ish% resists on stuns (with a chanter along, so presumably Tserrina was tashed): http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=5604#m106161804730731
51 necro unable to land any spells except lifetaps: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=5604#m106631286810743
65 cleric calling her a "resistant b*tch": http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=5604#m10869491633427
65 wiz saying she was "very resistant to root": http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=5604#m108920021956205
65 necro saying he had 1 darkness resisted: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=5604#m110253997783637
I know they aren't Velious era, but they're 2004 or earlier for what that's worth.
Another note kinda related - Drumas and I only ever saw bats in 3 of the 4 rooms where Tserrina is popped. I believe it was the second room on the left, when facing in from the stairwell room; we killed probably 12-15+ bats to spawn her twice and never had one pop in that room. This "comprehensive Tower of Frozen Shadow guide" says there should be a bat in each room though: http://www.eqcleric.com/threads/4814-A-comprehensive-Tower-of-the-Frozen-Shadow-Guide?
The second page of that guide has a comment, again, indicating she maybe should be more magic resistant (dec 2003, 2 65s had trouble landing snares and stuns on her) and that she tried to charm repeatedly in a single fight.
