Best Weapons against oozes and slimes

[Hambo]

My favorite weapon against the spineless enemy is Blade Barrier.

I call the attack "Jello in a Blender"

The simplest awnser to what is the ULTIMATE weapon against a ooze IS..........................


**A MONK** .... This awnser was brought to you by the MONK FTW Foundation (monk sold seperatley)

I think there is a good summary about ooze stuff in the first post. Wanted to bump it so others could read it, too.

Btw, does it need updating? Anything new came up with Cannith quest packs?

I seem to remember a tip from way back was to use unarmed attacks+shield. This would make you attack faster than without the shield, for some reason. Assuming you aren't a monk of course. Haven't tested recently though. Just don't use the shield bash attack (block+attack) or your shield gets damaged.

Another observation (although not too certain on it) is that a paralyzed slime doesn't split. Got a paralyzing bow on my ranger and if a slime is paralyzed it won't be split (Have to judge by them not moving as for some reason, at least for me, the green paralyze effect does not get displayed on slimes). They can still split from the arrows if they resist the paralyzation at first, but apparently the splitting requires them being able to act and paralyzation happens before splitting... or something.

Pretty sure unarmed attack with a shield just shield bashes.

pretty sure wood works as well. So any club.

I try to grab a ghost tough greatclub of pg or similar for all purpose skeleton/ooze bashing.

nope, just crafted an unbound wood club and it dissolved like a lvl1 newb that cant run straight on their way to the twelve.

[blackestblack]

it's really disappointing that there's no cartable glass or crystal items. would not be hard to add some named loot to the disjunction machine.

Everbright. It will never take rust or ooze damage.
I use it on several greatclubs each life.

[Letrii]

Best weapon to use against ooze is to dual wield halfling monks.

I use Meteor Swarm in my main hand and Delayed Blast Fireball in my off hand.

Everbright/Blueshine or Glass. But they are pretty rare.


Any ranged weapon handles them easy but takes time. They allways spawn at the same spots (shrugs sadly)

Vistani Fan blades enhancement is also good. Spellsinger Bard also has additional damage bonuses against Oooze kind.


Named Glass and Crystal weapons are out there but their drop rate is horrible.

Infamous weapons from good old quests:


Level 2 quest Durk has got a secret

Muckbane https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Muckbane

Level 7 Quest The Pit

Muck's Doom https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Muck%27s_Doom



One of the earliest all purpose weapons which are also Oooze killer/resistant comes from White Plume mountain adventure pack.

From different quests you can get

Muck's Devastation https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Muck%27s_Devastation

Echo of Blackrazor https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Echo_of_Blackrazor


The Restless Isles , Slaver of the Shrieking mines also has

Shrieking star https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Shrieking_Star



All other named weapons are from higher level quests and pretty hard to get without continious item farming. (Luck)





Dripping with no sound before pouring all over the unwary adventurer. They could be the deadliest monsters at DDO if they could spawn at random spots (wait silently, before pouring over the head of a player through a tiny crack) and could stick/grab to the players, melting them with paralyzing strong acid.

Transparent, Amorphous ( The ooze can move through a space as narrow as an inch wide without squeezing ), Bludgeoning (can stun), Grappling, Corrode Metal (and the living), Paralyzing.

it seems like the search function knows the last time i played ddo.

but it's a good relevant thread.

but yeah, why not add some low level named loot to the disjunction machine?

there's really only one place i can think of where it's really important to be able to kill an ooze without splitting it. restless isles. they split almost infinitely. that first hall if you have to run past the ooze and the glass spiders, you're stuck in dungeon alert the rest of your time in the wilderness.

there really isn't a way to craft competent ooze thumpers for restless isles needs.

they put everbright way too high on the crafter's list. you need epic collectables to make everbright... and it's a really crumby mod compared to what you could get. allowing people to disjunct muck banes and such could go a long way to getting cannith crafting up to par. very few people even use it for much of anything these days imho.

[blackestblack]

and even fewer people enter the restless isles for any reason at all.

Nowadays, I tend not to worry too much about having the "best" item for rarer & more situational enemy types. I've found a cannith crafted ML4 holy bludgeoning adamantine weapon of everbright slotted with a ghostbane augment is pretty much the ideal "good enough" secondary weapon for dealing with multiple situations, since while not the best available against any one, it's decently effective at handling a whole number of enemies including oozes, rust monsters, golems, skeletal undead (especially in delera & dryden), wraiths & reapers while taking only minimal wear.

Admittedly, an argument could be made for having a far more specific item (eg. the spectral night revels weapons) for dealing with reapers though, since you'll generally want to put them down as quickly as possible
