Curse

Just wanted to see what everyone can accomplish in the underworld. A guildie and I are working on 2maning the whole thing, and we're making considerable progress. As of now, we can 2man all of the labyrinth (including unwanted guest and escort of souls), all of ice wastes (including the ice king quest), all of the forgotten vale (including the spirits quest), all of the twin serpent mountains (haven't tried the quest yet, but we summoned the reaper) and we're working on ways to clear the chaos planes (which won't be hard now that we can do escort of souls with ease) and once that's done we'll head into the bone pits/spawning pools (haven't made it yet, too busy with our spider charming business.) Heres some of my interesting screenshots

UPDATE for those new to the thread: Underworld Domination is complete. We have successfully completed EVERY quest in the Underworld using only a team of 3 people.

I counted 11 drops, so I'm assuming there was only 11. one or more of them might have dropped nothing, but from the screen it looks like 11.

This is the ice king quest in the Ice Wastes (yep, lived again, as you can see. My partner got 2 rares and a glob in that group, hense the 'wtf')

Heres my current max with smites, 21 at once. 15 is my max with no dp. (yes, lived again

)

Heres a shot from before we knew how to kill mindblades. Got to the planes, but didn't make it far

You are my personal hero

We can kill all the aatxes/coldfires/smites up until the behemoths..

As for quests.. well, ice king wasn't pretty.. escort havent tried yet, wrathful spirits at the village was very good with 3.. haven't tried it yet with 2 (spider run).. We can't get passed the behemoths and our inventory is filled anyway.. Any tips?

Sagaris · Dec 27, 2005, 10:24 AM // 10:24

Damn you! I want to be you bad! How much time does it take you to clear it all?

For behemoths you will have natures renewal on you almost always, so you have to drop one of your enchants to maintain energy. Spam blessed sig and keep prot spirit up, don't worry about breeze, as they don't hit hard enough to make it worth using. Do your best to interupt the healing springs with your wand, and let the necro do his thing

. also, when 1 group dies, either wait 90 seconds, or prot/breeze your necro and have him trigger the traps.

Clearing the ice wastes (including the first room) takes about 10 minutes, the labyrinth takes 5 minutes or so. From start to finish, a 'spider run' (including the labyrinth and forgotten vale) takes about 20-25 minutes. Behemoths are a bitch (easy to kill, but takes a long time, and theres a ton of them), getting to the top of the twin serpent mountains can take hours, and anything beyond that is 1h+ if you want to live.

That's pretty quick.. What skills is the necro using?

And suppose we make it passed, any special tactic about killing mindblades or just rush and hope SB recharges fast enough?

Glasswalker · Dec 27, 2005, 06:50 PM // 18:50

Bummer. When I read the thread title, I was expecting a Mesmer UW build.

Necro skills are our secret, and as we're the only group I've ever heard able to kill mindblades using 2 people, that's a secret as well

Me/mo, 16 illusion, some healing, some prot :P

prot spirit
healing breeze
cry of frustration (or power spike)
Illusionary weaponry (elite)
balthazars spirit
mending
watchful spirit
sympathetic visage <<<---- added later, forgot about it.

it's painfully slow, hacking 1 aatxe to pieces at a time, but it works. make sure you have full energy, and prot spirit AND IW before aggro, so you can interupt the nightmare then hack it with IW.

I aim to please

I'd run the nec with shatter hex to get rid of the ignorance vs mindblades....
other than that a standard ss/sv nec.. mmmm..

derrtyboy69 · Dec 27, 2005, 09:18 PM // 21:18

Me and FCT Steve O can clear about the same amount of enemies, but the best way for us to make ecto is to kill smites and Bladed Aatxes, so we ussually odnt bother with this.

ive got a question, being the trap ranger that doesnt go farther than the smites in UW:

what exactly is a Mindblade and why are they so hard?

mindblades are mesmers. they have lots of annoying spells, including crazy degen and ignorance, and the kicker, shatter enchants.

edit: mindblades don't use shatter

OMG how the friggin do people 1-2 man these things omg wow so sad!

Ajantis · Dec 28, 2005, 08:09 AM // 08:09

Why is that sad? I get further with 2 then with a pug of 8

The pug state of today is pretty pathetic

I'll ask the necro buddies if they know about a trick to kill those

sno · Dec 28, 2005, 08:46 AM // 08:46

If anyone is interested, I have started a monk academy, showing students how to do all of this

See the thread for more info:

Very nice, but what is your damage output? I see you your very well protected with ur 55build, but how do you cause the big dmg needed to kill attaxes e.t.c.
