The Rotten Druid (Cruel)
|
In Cruel difficulty, this boss one shot my lvl 52 sorcerer that had 3k HP (1k mana from MOM, 1k ES, and 1k health) in < 2 seconds with his spray attack where I couldn't move out of it. It was infuriating to lose a HC character to this mechanic. Please review for balance.

I've never ripped to this guy. have you looked into what damage type that is.
Also im not 100% certain it works the same way in poe2 as it did poe1 but mom wont do anything unless your es is 0. If it is chaos damage it does double damage to es. Dernière édition par Lonnie455Rich#2087, le 10 févr. 2025 17:08:36

Why couldn't you move out of the way of the attack? Was your character locked/bugged in one position?

I think this is the first time I disagreed with someone asking for reduced difficulty.
You created a HC character because you wanted, I assume knowing full well what it means. You died ONCE and now you're asking for reduced difficulty? In one of the easiest bosses in this entire game? You can kill that boss using only WASD and your dodge... | |

That guy killed me a lot too. But he does chaos damage and I got to a point that I just understood when he was going to do that attack that sprays poison missiles at you and dodge it.
At that point my build was starting to work so I was able to kill him in about 1.5 minutes |

As far as RIPable attacks and bosses, he feels like one of the better ones. Best I can recommend is getting used to the tell for it. I died once right as I killed him because he popped one of those off before the final hit on my sorc, but that was also act 1 and softcore lol.

I wish I could tell why I couldn't move. I'm not sure if I was stunned or what. All I know is I was running while firing off sparks and then basically insta-kill with his firehose-like attack.
It would be nice if you could read a log or see a replay on PS5 to see what happened, but I'm unaware of that kind of feature. |

You can disagree, but you are incorrectly assuming quite a bit with your uninformed statements. Yes, I did create a HC character because I love the challenge. I only play HC. I also have 300+ hours into EA so far. This is hardly my first play through. I've lost over 10 HC characters so far due to mistakes, and that's fine. I've not said a word about any of those deaths. You die, you learn, you move on and get better the next time. As to this feedback report, this is early access, right? The game isn't polished, right? There are bugs. My hope is, perhaps, someone reviews server logs on what happened for my case, however unlikely, and if there is a bug or a need to balance something, great, they can use the data to make the game better. I'm NOT asking for reduced difficulty. I'm simply pointing out that I was basically insta-killed and I have no idea why on this boss. That boss hasn't done something so drastic to a toon before, and I simply can't explain how it could have happened in my particular situation. |

The homing barrage attack always has been quite strong as it's 9 times 3 projectiles with 100% physical AoE damage.
So technically, it wasn't a "one-shot", you've been hit with the full barrage and died because you didn't get out of the way. That is unfortunate, but it's completely your own fault. |

" Sure, and I pointed out this is one of the easiest bosses in the entire game, so asking for reduced difficulty because you couldn't dodge away from an attack that most definitely doesn't 1-shot you is not enough reason to ask to reduce the boss' difficulty. |
