Hey so what's a good way to take down those stupid Bralani and Ghaeles that you find in the opening sections(and beyond) of Running with the Devils? I'm getting sick and tired of seeing yellow numbers and the word "immune" fly up when I fight them.

I'm about to do shroud flagging this life. Its not impossible to get past them, I'm just frustrated by them being resistant to basically everything Tongue
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

You need Evil + Cold Iron to bypass their DR I believe. Maybe just plain Evil weapons will work.

Look them up on the DDO Wiki to find out for sure.

I crafted a pair of cold iron axiomatic of chaotic outsider bane weapons for each of my melees to use each life specifically for this quest. Evil weapons (unholy) will also bypass their DR.

Won't equipping Evil weapons neg-level a good-aligned character?

The Chaotic Outsider Bane is a good call, I'll go make one as soon as I get the chance.

Key is, it HAS to be cold iron. That breaks their DR. They are also Chaotic good, so you have to beat the "good" DR.

Best possible beater would be a cold iron axiomatic weapon with a red augment slot and a ruby of evil in it.

Next best would be cold iron unholy weapon. This will give you a negative level if you are good.

If you can't craft any of these, or cant find any, just make sure it is cold iron. I usually dont worry about the suffix, as non eof them will do any additional noticeable damage to them. Maybe bleed... But I just go with a high enhancement.

If you are on Thelanis, shoot me a PM, and I'll be happy to craft you something that will cut through them! Smiley

My personal favorite? Trap the Soul spell, jacked with conj feats I & II, School focus, Wis past life, and 3 cleric past lives, and spell pen.

I have a so many of those little bastards in gems I could make a necklace and matching earrings.

On melee ?
Pair of banishers or banishing wraps with Stun fist or Stunning Blow.
Stunning shield, low blow, Frozen Fury. Use line of sight, Cannith boots or wings to levers from first ramp so you dont have to fight stupid air ellies.

Or just easy buttons - last time I did on stupid fvs swash thingy with heroic Skullsmasher and friend on barb with Sos.
No "strategery" used.

Ghaele's require Cold Iron + Evil.  Bralani just need Evil.  Mineral II bypasses both Cold Iron (Metalline) and Evil (all Greensteel).

That's actually the worst part.  "Am I unbalanced?  Spiky gloves on?  Negged?  Oh.  Franaholics just hit level 150.  Great."

Paralyzing used to work, but it's been about 2 years since I've played that quest.

Except I keep hovering over it, and it keeps being a guild announcement.  What does that say about me?



Don't answer that.

Apparently fucking NO ONE lists shit on my server anymore Tongue there isn't even a cold-iron greatsword listed, period. I've got a MinII I guess I could use, but these guys annoy me just enough to craft a special beat-stick.

To be clear: this has nothing to do with difficulty. I just fucking hate those guys with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

…or not apparently.

Red slot weapons then?  Unholy of Chaotic Outsider Bane with a cold iron augment?
