Ohhh yes I had some run-ins with these this morning.
I decided this morning to grab all the Confluxes in the 3 new zones and in my travels ran into these multiple times in all 3 of the 3 new zones. This is what I know about them based on my experiences.
Abyssea-Attohwa: Name: Iron Clad Cleaver
movement speed is definitely fast. I can verify it has either true sight, true sound or possibly both (but definitely at least 1 of). If you see a pile of what appears to be scrap rubble on the ground avoid it at all costs!! When you get too close (and its aggro range appears to be massive) it will take form and become a cleaver. It appears to have En-stun and I'm guessing its sword procs Amnesia on its attacks and it will strip your defense fast. It doesn't appear to revert back to a pile of rubble on the ground once it kills what aggro'd it. Instead it seems to wander the surrounding area for awhile before it turns back. edit: Also I elemental seal sleep 2'd one of the 2 times it was attacking me with a build on that gave me 339 enfeeble (around 120 INT) and it resisted.
Abyssea-Misareaux: Name: Unknown (something Cleaver)
I clicked on the gate in zone that would bring you to the spatial displacements that lead to Riverne Sites. Once inside a little distance in front of me was a giant pile of rubble exactly the same appearance as in Attohwa so I just zoned back out. Had no desire to inspect it and die 2 more times. I'm sure it shares most of the same info as the Attohwa cleaver though.
Abyssea-Vunkerl: Name: Ironclad Executioner
This cleaver is a total {*** Sword} Idk if I happened upon it after someone aggro'd it but I was snk/invis crossed a bridge on the far left side of map (near I-8) and all of a sudden it appeared right in front of me and killed me(completely buffed) in a matter of seconds. So not only is this NM invisible but it has either true sight, true sound, or both! Not to mention it cant be targeted while its invisible so you have no way of knowing where it is! (I have a habit of tabbing alot while i'm inspecting new areas in order to find points of interest or nms) I've heard this NM also takes the form of a pile of rubble normally until it is aggro'd, which would make sense considering the cleavers are that way in the other 2 zones. This NM also appears to have En-Stun and the sword seems to proc Amnesia.
Hopefully that will help some people who are wandering through the new Abyssea zones. (Then my 3-4 deaths at the hands of these jerks weren't in vein lol)
Appreciate it, as of last night i went out to get all 3 old area maws, my vertical confluxes... guess these won't be as easily obtained till we get from 85 to teh new one, or we g on as a linkshell or a group and just be a wall and murder these ...these... things...
