| Tonight, a party of ECTOs and Hush members successfully plowed through the Underworld and took down the new endboss Dhuum! No gimmick speed clear builds either. It was mostly a balanced-way team. Nobody got shit worth mentioning from the end chest though, but it was fun regardless!
Pics below... |

| The Arrival: The Fight: The Defeat: The Endchest (Dhuum-Style): The Celebration: The Re-Entrapment Of Dhuum (Front & Back Views):  As this was our first time down there, I didn't know what to expect, and thus the screenshots aren't as cool or dramatic as they could've been. I wish I had taken a screenshot of our lackluster endchest drops, but alas, I did not. We got Ghastly Summoning Stones though, which summon Dream Riders. During the course of the Underworld clear we got a SHITLOAD of ecto drops. It was worth the ride, for sure. We'll probably be doing lots of these new Dhuum-Style UW runs from now on, so if you are interested, keep an eye out in guild chat, alliance chat, and ventrilo. To everyone interested, it would behoove you all to keep your conset production and your consumable collection at a high level. We don't want to only rely on a few people for that stuff.  ______________________  |

| He has no jaw?
His skirt looks like an elonian skirt with longer straps to it. Lol... Well and torn up, but yeah. I knew I had seen the straps with the metal rings hanging at the end somewhere before. Male elonian, btw, female doesn't have that, it's different. He still looks badass. XD |

His attack animation is incredible. He randomly warps around the room, popping up out of the ground wherever. Often times he was only popping up to take a quick swing and then he immediately went right back down into the ground. Other times he would stay up and run around, swinging. His Judgment Of Dhuum skill is the one skill that does a lot of damage (party-wide AoE). There are waves of light pulsating out from around him when he uses that, so it's easy to guess and scatter from. He also has a touch skill - that Touch Of Dhuum skill that was updated in the Game Update notes - that automatically gives you DP. When you die you turn into a spirit and come back with a different skillbar. If you look in one of my screenshots you'll see that my Tahlkora had come back as a spirit (which sucked because she was one of our two party healers, lol). Resurrection skills don't work when fighting Dhuum. They're disabled. You need to use Res Scrolls to get people up. Plant Fiber prices are going to go through the roof over the next few weeks, me thinks.
You only need to get Dhuum down to about 30% health before you win the fight. This was only Normal Mode and it took a hell of a long time to beat him. I can't imagine how hard it will be in Hard Mode. All in all, Dhuum is a pretty difficult foe, but he's not bullshittingly unfair like Mallyx is, where only gimmicks can win. A coordinated team can take down Dhuum and you are given leeway to survive mistakes.______________________  |

| As ECTOs and Hush continue to do UW runs and beat down Dhuum, stories and photos of our adventures will increase. Put all of our Dhuum-related goodness here. ______________________
