Trip, stun, paralyze, dance, stone, freeze, etc.

Bring Cruel Nobility since it is useless in every other quest in the game.

I found a cold iron bastard sword in my collection, going to have to wait 1 level though to get proficiency for it Tongue

Yeah metal-type-with-red-augment weapons are absurdly rare on my server, and it doesn't help that people just flat out don't list shit on the AH except n00bs and touchingly mis-guided people(Yes, your random-ass ghostbane weapon with festival icy burst is TOTALLY worth 1.7 million...)
  

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.

non proficiency penalty is no longer "only -4 to hit".

chaotic outsider slay arrows, usable by every toon and 1 shot 1 dead.... if you had time to dupe some when it was possible (for common mortals) now you should have some stacks so that the quest could be a walk in the park

Well there is that annoying icon. That's a fucking PITA.

Yeah, that bothers me more than the imperceptible reduction in my HP.

If I have a character who will ever even THINK of meleeing one of them, they craft themselves a cold iron unholy of COB weapon (or weapons if twf) specifically for that quest.

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/428501-Weapon-Non-Proficiency-Penalty?...

Quote:
The new combat system is something like:

Chance to hit: (10.5 + to hit bonus)/(2 * AC of target) + 20% if proficient in weapon used.

Therefore using non-proficient weapons is a huge deal.

I could probably faceroll the quest just fine with my minII greatsword. This is about vengeance, righteous fury.

Thanks for the link. TBH, I don't think anyone's going to miss the 20% either. If there's no chance of glances without a proficiency, that people will notice.

Funny, that's also my strategy for dealing with bears I come across in the wilderness Tongue Works on tigers, too.

I actually had to rest in this quest solo'ing it on EE.  And use songs for crowd control.  That light damage was pretty insane at level.

I used a WOP Rapier, and for the end guy I used a Turb Epee.  Knock the cleric down before they can deathward, CDG him, Mez the rest and pick them off 1 by 1.  I couldn't be pissed to spend the time looking through my mules for a Cold Iron Rapier.  And all my finished greensteel weapons are scimitars.

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.


Doesn't help you hit them, but Beholder Plate Armor and Beholder Plate Docent sure make them a bit more manageble.

I have some throwback weapons that used to do a pretty good job before Cannith.  Cold Iron Wounding of Enfeebling Rapier and Cold Iron Weakening of Puncturing Scimitar but it's been ages since I even pulled em off an alt acct mule.  Stopped using them after I leveled my Cannith and frankly all stat damagers lost there luster when they became useless in Epics and not much (if at all) better than straight DR breaking DPS.

Fingering them works, as does mass holds on a necro/enchant build.  Sunburst will blind them as well since most of them don't self-heal if you're evo-specced.

On melee, stunning has always worked fine.

Just my opinion if your doing such little damage that you are bothered by damage resistance you probably shouldnt be in that difficulty
