just keep an eye out on your radar. it's important to try not to aggro any skales whatsoever.

The collector in Snake Dance has one, it requires 5 mountain troll tusks.

don't feel no pain, as much as you probably don't want to get rid of the +30 health modifier, a +7 vs. physical or +5 vs. all would be best for this.
Just keep at it Numa.

^_^ FUN~~

Heh I'd do the same sometimes, depending on whether my inventory was full or not. I'd sprint to the entrance of fire-like area where you do Khobay and spawn a bunch of shadow beasts. Problem was finding a save spot to stand while killing them all. Thankfully, large groups will pretty much kill themselves from Dark Pact.

Racthoh · Dec 09, 2005, 09:54 AM // 09:54

Attack, attack, healing signet. Repeat.

i guess i just had bad spawns cause i couldn't even get passed them without getting aggrrod

After you kill the first group of 3 driftwood and a dryder, wait at that spot for a patrol of 3 more driftwood to come. Pull them with your bow back to where you are standing. It'll make sprinting passed the group of skales that are always there much easier since you won't have to worry about being crippled.

Around the second safespot I posted there will be two dryders patroling by. They won't aggro you, but best to run to that little pond like area to kill them both. Depending on how the passive groups of skales have spawned, you should be safe from the wandering groups. If not, just make sure to look ahead first and judge how far they appear to be wandering.

If it looks too congested, run to the other side of that small pond, almost to the point where you're aggroing the stationary group of skales that will always be in that corner. Stay in that small corner there, and kill the group of driftwood had you not already dispatched them while standing at the second safespot. Pull the dryder patrols to your little corner (or to wherever it's safe) and make quick work of them. Look ahead, and you should be able to judge a safe path to the cave.

Hope what I said isn't entirely confusing, and helps instead of making things worse.

another trick that I have been using lately is to use the shadow mob patrols to help me. After I have killed the the first 2 mobs of driftwoods and the dryder, I will aggro the Shadow monk/2 warrior group and bring them for a visit to the first mob of skales.

After sprinting away the two groups realize they don't like each and the shadows always win. Without the first patrol of skales walking around the rest of it is super easy to time.

Here just for fun is my toon celebrating after a run in armor I don't actually use for the job

Just to mention it, it seems to me that Armored Cave Spiders only use Melandru's Resiliance if they have more than one condition on them. So throwing up a bleed or a deep wound shouldn't make them use that nasty regen.

I don't have Hundred Blades, so I just bring Sever Artery instead. Everything down there can bleed and I like giving enemies degen.

Not sure if it's mentioned, but I can't be bothered to read through 11 pages of posts.

AtomicNoVa · Dec 11, 2005, 07:01 PM // 19:01

Rancour : I use Eviscerate sometimes and they toss up Melandru's Resiliance almost instantly.

Rancour · Dec 11, 2005, 07:17 PM // 19:17

Hmm, they never do it when I use Sever Artery...

I dunno, it's working for me

Racthoh · Dec 11, 2005, 07:36 PM // 19:36

The game mechanics probably view Deep Wound as a higher threat compared to Bleeding. Afterall, who wouldn't.

Rancour · Dec 11, 2005, 07:40 PM // 19:40

Dunno, but I like throwing degen on enemies. Just so they're still losing health while I'm healing.

I took a break from this run for a week, because i got pissed. Too many skales in the way. Started again yesterday after my HOH Win

First run, DIED stupid ghost guy, RUN or something! Next try, 4 shards, 2 rares, and lot and lots of wood

Same build i've been using since day one, and your original build Racthoh. Some of my guildies wanted to know how to do it, so i got a free run

. Still getting good stuff without even finishing a whole run LOL (I suck), maybe i'll stop being crazy and try to finish a run.
