Skills and AbilitiesEdit

As they are considered elite enemies, Harvesters are immune to all forms of crowd control effects.

Chasten
The harvester shoots a blue orb at its target as a basic ranged attack, dealing moderate magical damage.
Black Winter
The harvester casts a spell that sends out three swarms of crawling spectral hands along the ground in three different directions in front of itself, indicated by moving red circles, dealing high magical damage and staggering its target. Blocking doesn't negate the stagger. Once the harvester is casting the spell, it won't adjust her positioning, so standing behind or beside the harvester avoids this ability.
The Feast
When below 25% health, the harvester grabs its target and pulls their essence from them, dealing moderate magical damage and briefly stunning them. Four Feast orbs then appear around the harvester in different directions a distance away and move towards it. If an orb touches the harvester, it gets healed for 10% health. The orbs can be destroyed before they reach the harvester, and heal those that destroy them. Break Free can be used during the stun but it won't prevent the orbs from spawning.

DialogueEdit

Sometimes the Harvesters in the Imperial City Prison will call out threats to you as they are fought.

Harvester: "Did you come here to be processed, mortal? We will indulge you!"
Harvester: "You'll regret coming here, mortal!"
Harvester: "You have such curious eyes. I'll eat them!"
