I'm on my way to meeting Maerwald in Caed Nua. I've already encountered the looter group before in my Normal difficulty playthrough, and had no problems with them. I'm replaying the game on a Hard difficulty, and I know some enemy encounters were changed in Hard mode, but I also know that the enemy stats only change in PotD mode. Why the **** did this looter enemy suddenly get godlike armor in Hard mode? Did they mess something up in the latest patch?
