I beat all Elite Areas before in GW and for whatever reason saved UW for last.
All other Areas took 1-5 attempts, UW like 20 til my group finally made it yesterday.
I got on other people TS or Ventrilo.
Played as Ursan, Nuker, UA Monk, 100blades and god knows what.
Only the Imbagon from yesterday had ever beaten Dhuum before. All the other people I talked to over the days didnt ever make it since Helloween. Neither did their guilds.
What kills you is the following:
Unforgiving, unfair quests.
People taking quests, despite saying "No one takes quests". Also Mobways tend to fail, because the Permas play like they are invincible, out of UA range or pop the Reaper while there are still enemys around.
We were Eles, Rits, 1 Perma, Necro, 2 Monks and Imbagon, when we made it yesterday. 1 DC while Bossfight ofc.
Took forever to fill the rest bar, then we didnt do enough damage until we found out that everyone except Imbagaon, Rit and Monks needs to go Spirit and spam skill 5.
Hope the above info helps you guys.
4 hours to make it to Dhuum, 1 hour for Dhuum (could be reduced to 30 if know what to do). This is grinding.
They shouldn't balance the game, because of Youtube Speedclear Vidoes performed by Elite Players.
Their first concern should be the normal people getting frustrated.
