No they stop at the bottom of the stairs leading into the basement. Just pull the mindblades up to the stairs leading up to Vale and you will be fine to kill them there.

How do U work out the DP while fighting Dhuum? U need DP removal cons or it's enuff to have one of the team members to turn ghost and do the DP removal on his own?

flapjack · Dec 04, 2009, 12:55 AM // 00:55

you only get dp when you allow him to touch u. dont let the big reaper dude touch you in a naughty way.

but seriously just let the e/mo tank and stay away and everyone that is spirit can add 5% moral (remove -5% dp) by just using skill 4 on spirit on affected team member. The spirit bars were created by anet to specificaly work during the dhuum quest remember so take advantage.

SC's aren't going to die because of SF's demise. I'll admit that SF did help introduce the new era of SC'ing. However because it's now introduced into the PvE meta, more and more individuals are going to seek these methods of play. Time and efficiency means everything to these people. The path of least resistance. If you want to start blaming people blame the thousands of smart innovative farmers out there ready and willing to search for the next big farm/exploit/bug etc... Unless you take these individuals out of the game whatever Anet does or doesn't do will never satisfy balance seekers. Good luck on that.

i could use some more explanations on empathy and such, and hwo the ele is supposed to TANK. like an insight more detailed guide

Maximus Kox · Dec 04, 2009, 09:15 AM // 09:15

since there is no interrupts it is quiet easy to tank with this build;

maintain prot bond/ER/Elemental Lord/Aura of Restoration all the time

Burning Speed triggers the e and health gain

rest of skills is for extra dmg while PI does the main job

essential is to take DP removals or...... fail ; )

New Record as of tonight is 31 min.

You Don't need to bring any DP remover, skill 4 bro. also the only one getting DP is the E/Mo

Very nice!
TOo bad I'm guildless and PUG's suck :x

Ryann1337 · Dec 04, 2009, 03:16 PM // 15:16

If anyone has a Guild that frequently does this please add me at 'Ryann Is Here', i am currently guildless too.

BrettM · Dec 04, 2009, 03:40 PM // 15:40

Does the E/Mo have any function other than tanking Dhuum, or does he just hang around until all the quests are done?

Actually yes, the E/Mo performs a few other critical roles.

1). Complete the Forgotten Vale 'Wrathful Spirits' quest with the SoS Rt/R. If you look at the ele build, you'll see a few fire damage spells along with burning speed.

A year ago I created this build to solo the Wrathful Spirits quest - which I could do in around 2 1/2 minutes. However, that was back when the quest only spawned 15 enemies, whereas now the quest spawns 3 waves of 15 for a total of 45 enemies. I can still solo the quest now - however it would take about 3 times longer. But with the Rit/R and a Summoning Stone (Ghastly Summoning Stone ftw

) the quest completes much faster.

In fact last night we pulled off a /age 10 completion of Wrathful Spirits, which was our fastest time to date

2). Kill the 3 enemies (skeles or silver terrorwebs, could be 3 of either or a mix of the two) which spawn at the back of Pits during the 'Imprisoned Spirits' quest. As with 1) above simply put up all enchantments; and once the first enemy spawns, spam skills and have the Rt/R summon spirits up near you and kill each enemy.

3). And for added laughs, at the start of 'Clear the Chamber', once all enemies are balled up/blocked by the A/Me and other permas, the E/Mo may also jump in and fire off his fire-damage spells and degen the mob with burning speed. There's a good chance he'll die if a dying nightmare is near, but that's not an issue as the Rt/R can quickly use 'Flesh of My Flesh' to rez the fallen E/Mo. The combination of the perma damage/degen spells, ele fire damage/degen spells, and EoE makes that mob drop incredibly quick

wow, just wow. great job guys <3
im sure that with some more practice and enchanced techniques we get it ~10 min faster

Yeah it's hard to say really how fast we can get this because whenever we think a time is the quickest we figure out things to shave off even more time

That said, right now 26-27 mins seems like the fastest we could go (because Dhuum is usually around a 10 minute affair) - but the thrill of getting that 'perfect time' is what makes this so fun to do xD

How is this a bad thing for them? That means that people will be more willing to pay high prices for the end chest items now, because they expect supply to dry up in the future.
