I have come back to the game after some time off and I have noticed some Skeletons of Dhuum in the underworld. I have never had a problem farming the underworld with my RIT/ME build but now the Skeletons of Dhuum mess me up every time I run across one. They seem to damage me regardless of what I use. Is there a way to kill them quickly or keep them from pwning me everytime.

Their attacks damage you regardless of pretty much everything. Usual protective measures like Prot Spirit don't have any effect on them. As such, if your build cannot handle the damage or somehow kill them quickly, you'll probably need a new build. Spirit Spamming works.

Spam spirits, PI, then run back and feast.

if i dont have pi on my bar, i like to hex them with painful bonds and then summon spirits right on top of them. they melt fast and sometimes drop ecto. just be sure not to agro something u dont want to when doing that

Correct me if I am wrong, I have not tried in a long time but the only thing I have found to lower their damage, which is Armor Ignoring has been "There's Nothing to Fear!" which does add additional armor but instead lowers the damage from many sources of damage you normally cant protect from like walking in foundry or in the Deep.

I know you woudn't have it in a farming bar but its the only skill I know of.

If that's true, then I'm pretty sure it's a bug that won't be true much longer. Those #@$! skeletons were made specifically as an anti-farm measure (and lobbyists for Redbar Monks Local 188) so their skills are intended to pass through any armor or any DR.
