4. Unlike normal Armored Cyclopes, this enemy's body armor cannot be torn off or rent asunder.

I don't want to say this is false, but I changed vocation from my Assassin (800+ STR) to a Sorc using a non-upgraded Rusted Archistaff for shits and giggles (not even 300 magick stat) and figured I'd 2-man BBI just to see how awesome my Warrior MP was. I was screwing around in... Well, I forget the location, but it's in a demolished courtyard with 2x Condemned Gorecyclopes and corrupt pawns (mostly casters). You can stand on the balcony of the upper level and spam ranged attacks down at them safely without them hitting you. I cast High Maelstrom to group up the corrupt pawns and tossed mine over the edge. My pawn didn't do much as they were being tossed around and instead decided to go climb on the Condemned Gorecyclopes' face and repeatedly prompt me to break it's helmet off. After the fall damage killed the corrupt pawns, I cast another High Maelstrom on the Gorecyclopes and got the confirmation that its mask was broken off. After about 15 minutes of continuous High Maelstroms for almost nil damage and my pawn running around its feet bodly declaring that "I will scale it..." without actually doing so, I heard my pawn say something about its armor being rent during the ungodly-eth number of casted Maelstroms. Of course, at the time, I didn't bother to check and I didn't think anything of this until I read this stub.

I don't believe that the armor is impossible to break- just improbable. It seems like it takes a ridiculously high number of strikes to rent its armor from its body- a number typical Arisen's will not accomplish without killing it.

I think this should be further tested for accuracy purposes and mainly because unorthodox and ineffective builds are fun to play around with.
