12:37 AMI just turned 27 and the learning was slow from Zombies (which I swung at, there DS is pretty weak, but they repel really easy too), so i decided to go down to Varunar castle and try Rotting Corpses. After about 10 minutes of me swinging, and them dancing down to a defensive stance I decided to try bolting them with 306, seeing as critter stance is irrelevent on bolt DS.

I would advise any Cleric trained in Spell Aim to try hunting Corpses with 306, I get a lot of 1 hit or 2 hit kills there's, and the Corpses are plentiful.

Lil Excerpt from my hunting trip...

Level 27 Dwarven Cleric, Fully singled in Spell Aim, with 100 Dex and own spells/signs VS Level 32 Rotting Corpse.

>You concentrate on the Holy Bolt spell...
Your spell is ready.
>
You gesture at a rotting corpse.
You hurl a stream of holy water at a rotting corpse!
AS: +249 vs DS: +99 with AvD: +37 + d100 roll: +93 = +280
... and hit for 160 points of damage!
Acid bath empties chest. It's a lot cleaner now.
The rotting corpse wails in terrifying pain one last time and lies still.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Please fell free to post other tactics you use when hunting various critters.

PS. Also found 306 very useful when I used to hunt Wraiths too.

Mmk, I'm a Varunar expert, so a few things to run down here. It's a great place for clerics. If you can live there, you'll own the corpses. Otherwise they'll own you, no middle ground.

1. 100 dex, good god Roa'tars are EVIL. 100 dex helps fight them.

2. I assume you're maxed in CM

3. I assume no armor (better dodging against roa'tars).

4. Young clerics will get feared if they try to run to the Varunar node. They have to use the caravansary.


Varunar is a clerics haven in every which way (except those evil Roa'tars, which had a tendancy to swarm every now and then, at least when I hunted there). A relatively high dex makes the place easier, as does mobiles. Just a little friendly hunting advice.

Pookas are also an option for the repeller. Let's be honest here, after 33/34 shadow valley is the ONLY place for a cleric for a while. reg

03:42 PMZentalin is 70 now with full 1x aim..I did quite well in varunar outer ward, but I had a 0 RT morning star..when I was bored, however, I would kill things with 306. It doesn't work too well vs phantasmas, though. The last use I had for it was in bonespear when I was fooling around the eidolons.. thats all of the information vs undead I have, however..corpses are the best place for 306. I used to leg stuff with a warmace and then 306 it..worked well.
