Went hunting with my rogue for the first time in the area around the Eye of V'Tull. She's primarily using UAC, but found out the hard way that you can't punch skayls. Well, I had actually suspected that, after her experience hunting sentinels in Darkstone, so she had a cold flaring sai as her backup attack mode. Managed to kill a skayl via ambush, and was even savvy enough not to try and loot it. Enter the lava golems. I seemed to be unable to kill these guys. I mean, I know golems of any type don't crit, but these guys kept reforming and standing up again after I whacked their legs. I got in some head shots, but of course ... golems ... not crittable. Also after a hit or two, my armor heated up and started giving me damage. I was totally unable to kill one, and I'm 5 levels over them, no less.

Is there some sort of trick to hunting these? What about fire sprites and tsarks? They're higher level, but would they be more susceptible to ambushing tactics?



"So, what does that green line on the graph represent?"
"Oh, that's the projection of a hypothetical offspring from a union between Sauron and Cruella de Ville; we use that as a baseline for determining character alignment."

If you are in Voln, stock up on soul golem favor while on Teras. It may well be the last standard hunting area in the game where a brawler can accumulate favor in like level hunting. Its the last hunting area where I could accumulate favor both with rogue and monk.

UAC is a whole lot more tedious than fu for golem hunting, but its not catastrophically less potent like it is against non-corp undead.

And if you don't get a knockdown you die. Punch leg is a good chance at a knockdown, but overall its a losing proposition because of what happens when the attack whiffs.
