Mana Drain Enemies - POE 2 EA

Ive just encountered a Mana drain rare in a map that bricked my build in about 4 seconds.

The speed of the drain is ridiculous. I don't mind dying in a game but these mana drain rares drain your manas so fat that it becomes very hard to respond to them reasonably.

Id appreciate it if you can look into this. Thank you for the great game.

Its a donut, you can stand next to the mob without getting drained. It only drains on the edges.

It may be a donut, but if you're a sorc / witch, you can't just stand next to a rare mob. Also, that donut drained 1k mana in 1 second. Donut or not it just curb stomps any MOM build with no counterplay.

You can't cast regardless, probably the most ridiculous thing I've seen in this game as a caster class.

Donut? what donut ??? stand next to the boss and got 1 shot because my mana still got drained (mana is life ). so frustating at lv 95 . They need to fix the donut.

I'm also a sorc and have while I don't love the donut they're not that hard to deal with.

Freeze and nuke or hug and nuke.

You can blink into the non drain zone and if you don't have the ability to take a few hits with full mana and block, that's a build issue.

Now when it's duplicated donuts who happen to be hasted...oh boy.


The donut needs to exist because it's the counter to MoM. You want a build that's just all pros but no cons?

There need to be mobs that challenge the builds. The donut is your challenge. Learn to overcome it.

Yes, the existence of the mod is fine, and I agree that it is the rate of the drain that is the main problem with it.

Also, negative properties that filter through defenses are more reasonable and "game-appropriate"...In other words, "attacks" like this should be subject to defensive capabilities of the player, whether that be some sort of magical defense, will power, etc, and those defenses should mitigate the rate of drain. Automatic effects are cheesy, for the most part.

The comedians who tout the ability to "stand next to the monster" probably need a bit more training in improv or cogent thought.
