Mob vorpals

[Spoonwelder]

Was on sands yesterday doing the walkups. In purge the fallen shrine I got vorpalled. I hadn't heard of any mobs short of the vale having vorpals. Maybe I am out of the loop, but I thought I would both check and warn. I think it was a Cacodemon that did it. Switched to my deathblock robes after that, but snick snack is never a good thing to read in you combat log.

Watch out, for Kasquick - the Kobold Liutenent in Shroud - has a vorpal blade too.

As does the skeleton in Litany.

The non-fire demons in Purge the Fallen Shrine and Against the Demon Queen have had vorpal at least since they added epic mode. It's exciting to watch a party member just die and have no idea what happened.

Not sure about vorpal but PK abounds as early as Deleras, and a lot of the skeletons in the desert cast it, so best to start wearing your deathblock early, especially as the skeletons in the desert will also dispell your deathward clickies.

Along with Slay Living from mummies.

Yeah that would have been me.....took a few seconds to scroll back in the combat log. Pain in the ass since I was relying on greater fire resist robes to save the SP on the resist casting. Now I have to go deathblock and get resists on me from other sources.

Last time I was out here I was on my cleric and had DW on all the time so it was never much of an issue so it was news to me.

Kasquik having vorpal isn't really news to me but a L11 quest having mobs with it was... Thanks for the input though.

LMAO yea, this quest.


I remember once spamming desert quests on elite for a friend to get them favor.

On my lv 20 'slathered with greensteels' monk(IE: immune to everything BUT apparently, death lol)

Ya was kinda embarrassing.

Its funny when u think about the odds of it happening. Vorpal is on a 20 that confirms. Monk has over 65 ac. So they can ONLY hi ton a 20. So means that mob had to have rolled a 20 then confirmed that crit with yet another 20. 1 in 400(I think) Chance.

Except this, and lay living, fod, etc, you all get a save for, and as early as this and ds the save is so low all but the 6 wis barbs would fail. Vorpal doesn't have a save, if they confirm, your head goes a floppin!
