Talk:Duncan the Black

If no one has ever seen him activating the monster skill...did we discover the skill through SoC then?--Thor79••Talk 18:42, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Upon dealing damage to Duncan, the monster skill icon pops up on your display. There you can read the skill description.  It appears to an inherent buff as he never needs to pause to recast the skill.
 * Yeah I noticed it when I fought him tonight...and through about 30 minutes of fighting him it never popped up so yeah...it's inherent.--Thor79•[[Image:User-thor79.png]]•Talk 02:49, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

This is what I wrote on GWO for the readers, maybe someone can use it here as well:

Duncan the Black with heroes and henchman. http://www.mypicshare.com/u1k6xj9rpic.html

Teambuild: Healer Zophar (Smite Monk) - Signet of Judgement Acolyte Sous (Fire ele) - Elemental Attunement Zhed Shadow (Fire ele) - Mindblast Olias (curses necro) - Spitefull Spirit Ate of D K (degen ranger) - Burning arrow Thalkora (heal monk) - LoD Dunkuro (heal monk) - LoD Herta (Earth ele) - No idea, she was just there to fill the team.

Strategy: Zophar (my brother) used his smiting skills on Duncan while taking the most damage. Ate of D K (me) stood there with a longbow giving Duncan poison and burning for constant degen/damage. The elementalist never attacked Duncan since we set them so they kill all the spirits on our side and Zophar and me could attack without taking to much damage. As you can see, we didn't have a prot monk with us, only two Light of Deliverance monks which was enough. Herta had no job, I could have taken my Broad Head Arrow (Acolyte Jin) with us, because that would be our normal build which did everything else. But Zophar was quick wich leaving and so we had Herta.

How long did it take? In the screenshot you can see that it was a total of 41min for the whole area, 10min on Duncan I think (Based on the bars of the consumables which last 30min)

What did we get? The chest contains 2 drops + a green armor part for heroes. We both had an Onyx Gemstone. Zophar got an additional golden item and I got a Diamond as second drop.

Completing the quest gave us - 5000 Norn points, - 10 Master of the North points, - 15.000xp and - 2,750.

Any tips? yes, don't do this with real people. Just Heroes and Henchman will be the quickest ;)

We used some consumables that we found during questing for some boosts. We didn't need them in the end I think, but the attack speed buff was cool for my ranger.

Greetings, Ate and Zophar(86.82.36.54 11:21, 5 September 2007 (CDT)).


 * I concur, smiting skills + degeneration appears to be highly effective in damaging Duncan.

Hmm... would Duncan be named actual the real-life Duncan Black aka Atrios? I've never read his blogs before though. --Xiu Kuro 21:42, 9 September 2007 (CDT)

HP
How much HP does this guy has, I was henching him a couple hours ago and used SV necro hero, it took more that 70 attacks/spells for him to fall, now as blood magic on my hero was 15, he lost 100 hp with each attack/spell he made making his total hp over 70,000, so I wonder is that even possible? The only creature I ever met with this amount of health was Rotscale in HM.--Glass 21:20, 10 September 2007 (CDT)

70 * 100 = 7,000...not 70,000

I think that his name is racist.
It could'nt have been, Duncan The Guy At The End Of The Dungeon, no, it HAD to be Duncan The BLACK.
 * Explain how the name Suffix "The black" is Racist? --Alari 17:14, 13 September 2007 (CDT)
 * i'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic but it could be taken the wrong way
 * I know its totaly unfair against all the other coloured people. I mean Duncan kicks *ss, meh they shoul have called him Duncan the While--[[Image:vik.PNG]] ( √ iktor ) 03:21, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

Spirits?
The notes mention using Swap to move his spirits, but there are no spirits listed in his skill set. Are they actual Binding Rituals, or are they "special" spirits, like the ones in Sunjiang District? Either way, what are they? 141.233.30.23 18:54, 13 September 2007 (CDT)


 * "In the dungeon levels linked to Justiciar Thommis, Rand Stormweaver, Selvetarm, and Forgewight random ritualist spirits will spawn as you progress throughout the dungeon. These spirits include Disenchantment, Pain, Recuperation, and Shadowsong. Even if they are killed, these spirits will respawn after a set period of time."

 * If I move his spirits and then kill them, will they respawn on their last position or their original one? Organism X 15:49, 14 September 2007 (CDT)
