Sorry if this was gone over in another thread but just as the title says the Chaos Wurms in the tombs apparently are considered bosses. Try running a hex on them its the half duration thing same as bosses. Personally i tested this with wastrels (hit in 1.5 seconds not the normal 3) and parasitic bond (triggered in 10 seconds). Just thought i would throw this out to the community if it wasnt already known.

most wurms have this

If you wanna really test it.

Try use a Signet of Capture after killing 1.

Wurms don't have boss auras around them though.

I guess this must mean my PvE warrior is a boss too.

they are bosses i belive they are warriors.. um they use the elite something smash??? umm earth something?? cant remember one of those hammer warrios skills.. but ya bring are res sig try it out... i dont think iresstable blow is an elite.. i dont play hammer warrior much.

Many non bosses use elites.

While they may share some characteristics that bosses have, that doesn't make them a boss.

What does make them a boss are 5 things:
1. They have an aura around them
2. They have a special name (not always the case, some aura'd creatures have no unique name)
3. You can skill cap from them
4. When you kill them, you gain moral boost.
5. Res sig is recharged

None of this happens with chaos wurms.

They are just wurms. Wurms are resilient to hexes and conditions.

Wurms wear HoD helms.

fiery · Feb 08, 2006, 09:35 PM // 21:35

the elite skill was EarthShaker.

Well played, I laughed at that.

Those wurms are not bosses. All wurms have those characteristics. They have 1/3-1/2 of the time duration of hexes and conditions. If you were that huge and had that much health... wouldn't you expect some other strengths?

Before i got to the darkness' i had used my res sig earlier on another lvl. Before any of the 3 darkness' died one teammember died, i noticed my res sig being recharged and used. Not sure if they recharge on the wurms or on lvl change, but i did think it odd.

Juicey Shake · Feb 08, 2006, 11:30 PM // 23:30

it's called NATURAL RESISTANCE.

ANET went over this in an interview they held in place of a GotW.

it halves duration of hexes & conditions.

it's like hod helm, but cooler.

Mandy Memory · Feb 09, 2006, 12:16 AM // 00:16

I need a Wurm Helm! woot uber warriors ftw!! (Ever notice how almost every problem item is for warriors)

Res sigs recharge on level change.
