...... clear a cave full of Ice Imps, approx. 20, all packing Maelstrom? I have an E/Me. The cave is in the far N.E. corner of Mineral Springs. I am trying to clear the map in MS and that little corner is all that is left. Any ideas, tips, and hints appreciated.

Perkunas I took a standard firebuild - fireball, rodgorts inv, MS, etc - and a longbow, keep henchies/heros out and then pull the groups one at a time. Just keep moving around to stay out of Maelstrom.

I would suggest taking firestorm instead of MS though, quicker to cast and has fair damage now as well.

The big thing here is patience, don't charge in because that will just get you dead

Watch the movements and pull, making sure you pull them away from other patrols.

I took heroes + hench, had no problem.

If you are talking about solo... you need:

1) run skill
2) Mantra of Frost
3) Some nice AoE skills.

Enjoy, GL on getting IDS

It sucks when you click on the front target and it heads for the rear. No dodging anything then. Will try the bow. Thanks.

OH nooooooeeeessss! Don't click

Press "C" for closest target then use bow or something to pull. Remember to set a flag for the henchies/heros or atleast run well so that you can pull the fight away from patrols

"C" for closest, flag h/h, take FS, bow to pull and run. Got it. Will give another try. Takes so long to get there then face all that. Thanks all.

BTW; why is this cave so full of imps? Is there something that important in here to guard it with so many?

Ok; 4hrs and -60% dps made it. Got .1% more on map and a Superior Vigor Rune out of chest in back by Boss. Made it worth it. Thanks for the help all.

Apparently, those imps in the cave are the only mob that drop Icy Dragon Swords. And as you probably found out if you made it, there's a Seer behind the cave that can perform infusion.

As Valshia said, they are the ONLY mob in the game that drops the IDS (rarely as well) and to protect the Seer. Goodluck! If you don't come right I'll try to assist you some time

A few membeers of my guild do that run solo for the IDS, I will see what builds they use and post them here for you. I have never done it solo but with Heros and henchmen and a careful pull it is not that hard I tried solo once and was eaten up and spat out by them. but when I see my guild members that do it I shall ask them, I know the one uses E/Mo build with Ob flesh , bath aura but I am not sure about the rest but I will be sure to ask for you.
