Will probably be good for easy kills in NL.
Since Popps thinks these mobs are in the easy category, I would love to see a Dynamic Dungeon in Shame. The mobs on that floor will make some viciuos paragons!
Like I said he is killing them as fast as HE can. The one I Lored first had over 70 in all resists. But I lored some more and they can be in the 50s.
And the ones that have 50, he is doing the most damage HE can do with his axe.
And I still would bet that using another melee or archer toon would kill them faster than His melee and a Bard that just discords. It would be also faster for HIM to make that toon than a Bard. Every 5 mins matters...
I did try Felucca but did not notice much of a difference with Trammel as far as loot goes, but with the disadvantage that, while in Trammel one can recall to the spot, in Felucca it is necessary to do a long winding walk....
Before going the Bard way on a 2nd character, which will be more time consuming, I will try out the Rune Corruption with a pet, hopefully that'll be enough to cut down the kill time to 2 minutes which will be quite a gain from my current 5.
Just need to find what pet would work best for this, and what training I would need to give to it...
I want it to spam Rune Corruption and that's it, without running out of Mana, so that my dexer double strikes will do the most damage to cut down significantly the kill time.
I get plenty stress from my real life, frankly, I do not need games to also stress me any further.....
So, something like a Bard or a Tamer.... a 2nd fighter, be it dexer or ranged, would need too much control for my liking.... I leave that to those players who use unauthorized Third arty utilities which can have synchronized macros which control multiple characters with the stroke of 1 key (multi-botting I think it is called...), this is not for me.
I have by now killed quite a number, both in Felucca and Trammel, and not once I have found an artifact item... all "magic" stuff....
Considering the time it takes to kill an Unbound Energy Vortex, if one does it for items, they better go kill something else.... these things give zero, nada, nothing as far as Legendary artifacts items are concerned.....
And possibly, they are not even worth the time for Shame Crystals, considering how long it takes to get them killed.... in the same time span, how many other creatures in Shame one can kill and how many Shame Crystals they can gather ?
If you having air elemental slayer, honor cannot increase your damage at all.
I advise you to go kill easier mobs. There are lots of lizardman in Despise Fel , Each drops 3k + gold worth spined leather.
No resists, and as I mentioned, and, as Arroth_Thaiel discussed here https://forum.uo.com/discussion/comment/87443/#Comment_87443, at 50 resistance, which it is moreless what the UEV have in poison, Armor Ignore and Double Strike will deal the same amount of damage so, chosing a 14-17 damage Bladed Staff over a 15-18 damage Double Axe, would have not made much of a difference... I find that having bandage healing is nice rather then having to rely on leeches.... but I do am going to try seeing if swapping it for Lumberjacking will make a significant increase in the damage I can do to UEV and thus reduce the time needed to kill them....
Fastest change --- then change requiring a bit more time --- then change requiring more time --- then if those before did not help significantly, change requiring significant more time.
Time is the fundamental commodity... the time wasted and gone, will never come back.... it is fundamental to administer one's own time conservatively, me thinks, saving as much time as possible because once gone, it is gone for good....
PlayerSkill has provided the best answer (includes posts from others) to neatly summarize this topic. Either completely rework the template for UEV as he has list below to decrease kill time or don't and take 5min to kill them. There isn't really any need to debate further, only choices to be made on what you want to do popps.
No damage from toon : only provo buff. Takes them around 20-25 minutes.
Triton , High plains Boura and lesser Hiryu
By the way : lowest resist on them is usually physical Mine after discord had 47 , 40 with grasping claw. . WHy you took poison axe there , @popps ? This is for those who read all posts fully and understand : it is for Corpse Skin.
While your time is so valuable, go tame and bond 5* lesser Hiryu. With 105-108 wrestling.
They are tearing UEV in pieces while you tanking it.
UEV is dead , totally 22 minutes.
And I was rewarded with awesome ring +15 HCI , 15 DCI , 5% SSI, 15 DI 5% Spirit speak.
To play it safe, fandancer and tuski have always been a go to for quick kill straight gold farming.
Resistance info for 15 UEV's (captured 31/01/2023):
Unbound Energy Vortex Damage Resistance
For all 15 UEV's Damage Dealt was identical: 100% Energy, 21-23 Base
Possibly, but other players are gaining ideas and knowledge from the discussion, so let's keep it civil please?
Stam 210 SSI 5
or Stam 180 SSI 20
You can get 5 SSI from a town buff.
You can put SSI on your weapon if you need to.
What makes the suits expensive is they want everything and 100LRC so their sampires can cast Vampiric embrace. Then that LRC is just useless.
You can get 2 cheap pieces with high resists that have some dex stats then craft the other pieces.
Or use some of the legendaries. Britches of warding are not that expensive. The blackthorn mace and shield helm is not that expensive.
Sure you can spend a lot on a suit, but you do not have to.
You should have bought some spare Paladin vambraces from the last event, you made a thread about what to double up on so you either had or pretended to have spare points.
Just having a second melee toon with EoO just hitting without specials will do more added damage than making a toon with Discord. You do not have to switch between screens.
Or Operator error on my part.
I prefer lower dex with higher ss on items with my axe samp. Epps and quiver were free during events. I also use tinker legs and ss on jewels which seem to be way cheaper than suit pieces to my fancy.
My bandaid shield samp has practically free armor on using only +mana suit pieces. The damage is lower but it's overall a more fun temp.
Discord is a always a good skill to have on standby. Be it a discord tamer or EoO archer they both make excellent stand in the back and do damage temps.
Necro discord bard using slayer instruments & corpse skin w a swordsman using 100% poison double axe spamming double strike. Not going to spell everything out for u... u should b able to go from there.
We timed most of them trying to break our record time constantly. Our best was 1min 17sec... once. 2nd lowest was 1min 27sec with most taking between 1min 35sec to 1min 50sec. Good luck.
One 5 SSI ring that you can imbue 4 other properties on, and the city Buff and you are at the 20SSI.
I use a Disposable swordsman with the melee skills at 100 on soul stones, 50 Chiv and LJ when created.
They use cheap armor.
They can do shrine battles and get the Virtue tiles. Then they go to pixel land.
Void cores was the one i couldn't remember. Isn't that the 1k cleanup point item?
May I ask whether you are also using an Elemental Cameo (I do not have one), have 100% DI on your dexer suit and what are the properties on the Double Axe which you are using, besides of course it being a 100% Poison damage ? I would imagine also Life and Mana leeches ? What else?
The reason that I am asking, is that, with 100% DI on the suit, and Air Elemental Slayer on the Weapon, then an Elemental Cameo would not be necessary, am I right ?
Also, since the Template as you describe it, has no Animal Taming and Lore, do I need to understand that the Vollem that you are using has only 120 Discord training (obviously done with a Tamer, I assume...) done with the 1 level training and then you stopped... All available points go into 120 Discord or did you have left over point put into something else ?
Never had control issues for the Vollem to get it go wild and loose it with no taming/lore skills ?
Always under Vampiric Embrace form, being a sampire, correct ?
Also, you mentioned using Corpse Skin which reduces Fire and Poison resists by 15. Do you use it only to make more effective the 100% Poison Weapon, or do you actually also have on the Weapon some Hit property like Hit Poison Area or that uses Fire like Hit Fire Area or Hit Fireball ?
Thank you.
