2. Incredibly easy, to prevent the above from happening.

I'm hoping for the best, but I think I'll play the waiting game just a wee bit longer, to see my fears either put to rest or confirmed.

Have you seen the skills he allegedly uses? I have a feeling it's going to be the former.

Judgement of Dhuum
Reaping of Dhuum
Touch of Dhuum

dont you guys understand? they are making it impossible to finish UW and get the end chest. dhumms skills are so ridiculously insane no group can beat him. this is just making the completion of UW impossible. thats their plan. they figure if you can finish it then so many people wont be bent over beating it in 30 minutes

Here's all you are going to see for UW now:

"LFG Exp. Vale/Mts./Chamber/Pits/(etc.) Full UW+Dhuum!!"

Emphasis on Exp.

If you think that, skeletons of dhuum say hallo to uwsc, it has been this way for some time, lolololol.

Verene · Nov 20, 2009, 05:44 AM // 05:44

Feh. Looks like I won't be seeing Dhuum any time soon, what with the fact that I've never done UW and my main isn't a profession that people exactly jump to include in groups.

BlueXIV · Nov 20, 2009, 05:46 AM // 05:46

Pfff grab a friend and H/H it. Should be manageable on HM (tho you might have some trouble with new wastes and 4H), and quite easy on NM

Kerwyn Nasilan · Nov 20, 2009, 05:46 AM // 05:46

Well when someone gets to Dhumm I would like to hear what the battle is like and what he drops, if anything.

Yeeeep. Gonna be lazy and wait for more info, lol. We don't make a habit of doing UW clears in my guild, and I have done it but most of us have never have... so it'll be an adventure. Of course, it'll blow if you get through with that and Dhumm is all "LOL NOOB" within the first 5 mins and you get punted back to ToA right off :P

we beat it. its pretty epic crazy.

you have to beat underworld HM per usual. but there is no chest. you have to go to the hall of judgement and fight dhuum. he summons bone minions which do no damage against SF (hehe), but are like warriors on crack. if you die once you go to forgotten vale and come back as a weird spirit with different skills. you have to protect the reapers as they put dhuum to rest and then kill dhuum. we were all on vent screaming at each other, and still don't completely understand what happened. but once he's done, there's a chest, with new drops. some of our guys got some sweeeeeeeet stuff (luckers!)

some other things:
dhuum has a few crazy skills/spells. he has a 200 or so dmg scythe attack. a nasty hex. a summon minions spell. and a large aoe fire spell.

for those interested in how to beat uw, we used the mobway tactics. not the fastest, but we'd rather be safe than sorry.

darnit, i was hoping for a dhumm quest like the other 4 halloween ones where maybe you get to fight him solo using some halloween special skills and it is slightly challenging but doable and fun. Then there also be another new dhumm at the end of a complete uw clear where he kicks the party's butt that is there permanently that might drop some nice stuff. i guess i wont be ever seeing him after all. oh well...

Killerminds · Nov 20, 2009, 06:16 AM // 06:16

ooooooh show us! show us!

superraptors · Nov 20, 2009, 06:16 AM // 06:16

dhuum is a nasty necro boss with 3 elite skills and hits twice as hard as an aatxe

not to mention he has a skill similar to soulrending shriek called soul rip where he removes all enchants and gains back 100hp per ench

Same here - I thought there was a reason there were some empty skills on the Transmogrifier bar, and they would be added for a 1v1 or something for the quest - then have an even more pissed off version at the end of UW.

Grats dbulger, btw.

Awesome! Thanks for the pics and grats on the successful clear!!!

Lishy · Nov 20, 2009, 06:49 AM // 06:49

Dhuum is cool and all, but it looks like we're back we started.
Is HM actually a requirement to fight Grenth?

UW is so darn hard costly with its Aatxes and no rez shrine.
I understand people might make the "life is not fair" argument, so I'll leave my statement at this:
When you have to buy a shitload of consumables and keep your whole party under protective spirit constantly when you play balanced, something is wrong.
Dhuum just promotes the use of another dumb gimmick with tanks. Be it Obsidian Flesh, Shadow Form, or whatever.

I wish that were changed :|

AlsPals · Nov 20, 2009, 06:50 AM // 06:50

Rofl. Even more incentive to UWSC. Time to buy Dragon Age cause this ship has sunk.(Nice SS though, dbulger. Them Smites are gonna be $$$ soon.)
