The levels for the new Uldy stages are great. Using segments of the levels in which each enemy originally spawns really makes each area feel unique.

My only complaint with the Uldy quest is with the Edyrem themselves (this is an old complaint, I'm just now voicing it). Even by Stage 4, I'm already sick to death of hearing that damn Sacred Armor sound effect, let alone during the actual Uldy fight. Is there any way Edyrem could maybe use SA more strategically? Like, when they're actually engaged in combat and not just spam it constantly while running around. From a gameplay standpoint, I don't care how often they use it, but the endless sound of it gets on my nerves.

This is range of barage I would call it bullshit. This is not about spamming off screen but only half range of screen.

Barrage is a point blank skill, even if it had some range it would do very little dmg

patch nots: "cow soldiers no longer leave corpses"
Dunno if it meant literally cow soldiers? Maybe these are cow honcho corpses? Or reanimates are fucking up the corpse thing? I dunno.

ye theres cow soldiers which are most of the cows in the level and then theres honchos and summoners and others, so only soldiers corpses are removed.

As per RequiemLux' suggestion, posting from SQT possible bug regarding Uldy Stage 7 Korlic. (ty Lux)
Edited comment chain to include more of Dominos9189's comment for more context.

I've been working on the stages for the past hour or so. I'm currently stuck on stage 7...none of my abilities can hit korlic. I managed to kill the other two ancients just fine. What can I use to kill him as a trap rat?

Edit: Nevermind....I was able to damage him by alternating between my summon edyrem and quill storm...for some reason that caused my storm to actually hit him....


This is interesting. I also had a lot of trouble with WDM attacks doing no damage to Korlic. Will try the Edyrem thing too and see what happens.


Hmm Korlic was immortal for several minutes in my game too, the other time he died first. Maybe it's just a bug where he doesn't really touch the ground after jumping? I couldn't phase bomb him either. That's not normal.

The various passive buffs and Carnage on Rathma's Chosen is great, but his Arachnomancy does very very little damage (yes, i've done very specific testing to identify Arachnomancy as the lackluster skill. I can upload a video if need be). I'm assuming his Carnage uses his base melee damage because it's a WDM skill, while Arachnomancy doesn't because it's a spell.

He's still great regardless. I personally would prefer a temporary party buff instead of Arachnomancy. But a slight damage increase to the spell would be a sufficient change. Overall, he's a much more practical replacement to the old uberskill.

I only post this to help with post release balancing for a future patch.

Uldy stage 4 - Summoner did not spawn.

Another time Blood Raven did not spawn a portal.

The Korlic bug has been mentioned already.

Duriel/Azmodans son just gave me a portal to the first stage. In 6 Runs he has never done that before.

Dark portal does not work with Lioness! Bear stance and death lord morph is ok but lioness really sucks.

- the number of wyrms is too low in early - mid game , so the efficiency vs crowded spots is low compared with other options (be it Frozen Breath or an oskill) . they could start at least with 8 wyrms at level 1 and each cast may spawn packs of 5
- their overall damage/efficiency is decent once you get at least 15 of them , but again , you get better results vs crowds while using Apocalypse , not to mention Brimstone which is a few times better .

maby replace their fireball attacks with something that covers more aoe ,heavy increase the speed of the fireballs ... ? i can't tell for sure what boost would fix them better , but what is certain is that this patch they will still be ignored


Are you serious? Have you tried that skill? :)
First of all - it's one of best single target skills in whole game for now. And second - it's fully autoaiming that means you don't need to see target for them to aim it. For example: let's say, ATMG sentry won't shoot anything if you will open door and run away (lose visual contact with monsters) while wyrms still will clear any room (and even will try to hit monsters that stay behind walls).

yes , i am currently updating a build based on them dealing with the magic immunes (Drakemaw main attack) . My feedback comes for playing with it like that until destruction mid-dificulty ubers untill this moment .

I stick to my initial statement , the wyrms suck balls even with dedicated gear (fascinating crafts) compared with other options .

in early game they don't even worth using while they are just a few because it takes forever to kill a big pack , again , compared with other options . as stated above , they start being decent while in big numbers .

since there are better options for that matter , i consider they need a boost , be it for the number of wyrms in early game or the AOE of their attacks . have you tried killing a big pack with just 6 or 7 wyrms ? how long did it take ? :lol: now compare that with 2 or 3 casts of Brimstone (and it's not like Brimstone is not also having a short delay until spreading the damage ) . the difference is enormous . by the time you cast them and they start attacking something , Brimstone already got the job done and the screen is clear .

i can name at least 10 which are far better than them for single targets , but i am pointing the issue about their AOE capability , not for the single targets , also , about the early and mid game with just a few wyrms available . that's where they need a balance

i do not say that they are crap in end game with godly gear , i say that they need some balance until that point in order to allow the builds that use them to get a faster and smoother game progress
