I finally got around to looking at Shame tonight; yup, I don't really care about the new item mods and I wanted to explore after the thrill had wore off for everyone else. I ran into Eternals down on Level 4 and they ... just... wouldn't... die!. Has anyone had any experience fighting these? They have high resists and around 7400 hit points, and I tried fighting one with a 4.3 rated Greater Dragon, and despite constant mana dumping on it myself (with high mana regen and 110 so far magery, 120 Eval Int too) it took nearly half an hour to get it down to 8% health; at which point it started running around, and even when I pinned it in a corner with energy fields, I couldn't reduce it's health any further.
After another 20 minutes stuck at 8% I gave up for the night... I'm loathe to risk Shame Level 5 now if there's worse down there! But is there a trick I'm missing, or is this just yet another mob tamers can't handle? Next step may be to get my bard down there instead and just provoke the two onto each other, if possible...
Also, as an aside, does anyone know how much Shame rep you need to trigger the 3 Boss Blokes on Levels 1-3?
