Sigrune Stealth Buffed?

[IraMorti]

Started a new playthrough and usually I can beat Sigrune with Soul Arrow and Atugia with my party at Level 4. But got to the point where I thought I could fight her but found my Soul Arrow doing abysmal resolve damage and felt like she was taking down my party much faster as well. Did she get some buffs in the last patch or so??? I didn't see anything in the patchnotes regarding her.

I think the question to ask before assuming stealth buffing is: What has changed? Soul Arrow's effectiveness is based on Spellpower so does your new Champion have similar stats to ones you've played before and are they equipped in a similar manner? Sigrune taking your party down quicker than you're used to could be attributed to poor luck in your current attempts (or really good luck in previous ones) but that's harder to quantify. Your Champion's build on the other hand is easy to check against earlier runs.

The only difference from where this character is from the previous character is I maxed agility, cunning and willpower as a blackmage while the other black mage I had played went cunning, willpower and presence. Items aren't different either. But it feels like Soul Arrow and Atugia's attacks are doing a lot lower damage to Sigrune. Atugia's damage makes sense due to not having as much Presence this time around. But I feel Soul Arrow is doing lower damage.

So I did a quick test. I went back to version 0.3.4, fortunately it still let me use the same save. My mage was doing 34-35 resolve damage with soul arrow and it felt like Sigrune wasn't hitting as hard either. In 0.3.7 same mage is only doing 17-19 resolve damage with Soul Arrow. She definitely has a lot more resistance now.
