Curse

I'm just curious if anyone finished it out there and has a screen shot. I'm even more interested if you did it before Ursan's Blessing, I'd love to see that. I've never actually did DoA, but want to eventually.

Racthoh · Apr 27, 2008, 09:32 PM // 21:32

Just Mallyx himself and not the four generals with consumables + SY. Clearing the four areas without Ursan would be foolish.

Qwertyfied · Apr 27, 2008, 10:49 PM // 22:49

I cleared DoA HM many times prior to Ursan, doubt i have screens though. I'm sure lots of others did too however.

StormDragonZ · Apr 27, 2008, 10:57 PM // 22:57

Got all five of my characters to it, but I've never done it... even in Normal Mode.

No... technically, I've been in the City part NM, but we died thanks to a very "must complain about everyone" attitude of a group leader.

Alleji · Apr 27, 2008, 11:01 PM // 23:01

I tried DoA on the day it came out, failed a couple times and haven't zoned into the outpost since.

Gimmicky "run this build or die" areas ftl.

The only way I would ever be able to do this mission is with an Ursan team. It says on Wiki at least rank 6+ in lb and norn.

Daenara · Apr 27, 2008, 11:34 PM // 23:34

I've done HM four area runs in DoA heaps of times before Ursan come out, but that was with the old tank n spank build.

Christ, DoA fails, never do it. I did it just to get my vanquisher of DoA thingy in my HoM. The groups you get there (unless you KNOW someone) are utterly worthless. Heres my DoA annoyed story.

3 monks, 5 ursan, im a monk
monk a goes afk, then eventually leaves, we carry on
monk b goes afk, then says sorry, with 5 minutes left, 5!!!!!!!
monk c (me) wants to shoot myself in the face as the 5 ursans continue to aggro everything like theres 3 monks. 27 casts of rebirth later, we finish the zone and they ask if we should go to the next zone. I leave.

The above happens more than you like, but at least you finished the zone. Used to be that you had next to no hope getting a group unless you could tank and spank and the associated support (bonders, necros) or went guild group. Otherwise, you were guarenteed that any pug that started would get pwned about 2 minutes in and the QQing would start.

You just summed it up! That was spectacular. You literally nailed what I totally forgot about.

Use the famine ranger, 600, smiter build. Can do most parts in hm and yields more drops.

That is pretty much every ursan pug group in DoA. Every group I get into is the same.

It's a hate it or love it situation. What are your feelings?

Xx_Sorin_xX · Apr 28, 2008, 03:30 AM // 03:30

I particularly enjoy the ursan who says he has consumables, only to find out 30 minutes later that I was the only one to bring consumables - the others lied so they could find a group. I did it twice in NM..im never going again.

Malice Black · Apr 28, 2008, 09:37 AM // 09:37

DoA HM sorts the men from the boys.

Martin Alvito · Apr 28, 2008, 09:41 AM // 09:41

Like most elite mission areas, it's fine if you have a group of experienced, trustworthy players. And it's usually epic fail with a PUG.

HA and GvG are the same way. Why should DoA be any different?

Witchblade · Apr 28, 2008, 09:56 AM // 09:56

Never been there, still need the statue

pumpkin pie · Apr 28, 2008, 09:59 AM // 09:59

Domain of what?

lol nope don't know exactly where it is. i think somewhere at the end of nightfall.

kobey · Apr 28, 2008, 10:01 AM // 10:01

Tried it for fun on the day DOA was introduced, never been there after since. (other than to craft hero armor or exchange for torment weapons)

HawaiiGamer · Apr 28, 2008, 10:39 AM // 10:39

I use to do DoA lots back when it was still the new hotness (back when Titan gems were 100k/ea). Back then the environmental effects were always present. This was before hard mode. I've only been in there a few times since ursan came out and then I think we were in normal mode. Since the gems are so cheap now it really doesn't pay to do a "4-run" like it did before. Man, I miss those 500k guaranteed profit runs!
