That singular map boss always kills me in softcore in maven encounters. Such a bullshit DOT that can’t really be countered through most means. Bleed and corrupted blood immunity mean NOTHING.

[@awemowe2830]

yep it's pathetic whoever at GGG thought a 3k phys degen was smart needs to be fired not even a PF with perma life flask + enduring cry spam can outregen it, doesn't matter if you have real PDR, it just does 10x too much damage

[@Anksu_art]

Finally you are free to play something else

[@deinernst1235]

Act 10 Innocence is completly busted in Maps, only reason why I run Crimson Temple instead of Defiled Cathedral is how fast that guy gets rippy.

[@seana3918]

Damn that looked like there was nothing you could do to get around that death other than not run the map with no suppression.

[@ILikeGuns1992]

That's final final mana build? :p

[@winniethewhor]

T17s are fucked. You need your entire character invested in to defenses to be able to survive them reliably. Ben's CoC DD is literally defenses in every possible way. Phys conversion, max res, recovery, progenesis, instant leech, crit immunity. There's nothing it doesn't have for defenses. His build only gets by on damage because DD is DD. Even then, there are modifiers that are complete bricks that are suicide to even attempt. This death sucks, sorry man.

[@proxis9980]

and ? you can totaly trivialize most of the mechanics you can just NOT run a juice atlas.....t17 are just right amount of chalange to balance the evergrowing stupid amount of playerpower....ben is running the absolut max amount of juice you cna squeeze and barly dies...tells you that they are absolulty right on the money in difficulty.....

[@ayernee]

what even hit him? the red projectile went pass?

[@Dalmathus]

Woad, killer of exiles. The Physical damage from Woad is insane and his beam hit him directly.

[@koa89]

it even hit him with all possible hits. (you can see the wind up animation from the boss, he frostblinked father away but remained almost in the same line towards the boss) With ~ 1.9k life remaining, no es and no mana he tried to frostblink to safety.... right into the orange shockwave which took him out. And all that in like 1.5 seconds :D

[@yoelezequieldemedici2545]

The Defilled Cathedral boss winded up the beam, wich depleted all the ES; almost 7k of mana and more than half HP. Running away he missed the frostbolts+Frost novas on the boss, wich prevented him to instantly full up again almost instantly, then he tried to run downwards and , if im not wrong, a Ghosted Rogue Exile was down there and finished the job.

[@TL-fe9si]

The red beam brought his EHP below 20%, then sth at the bottom culled him.

[@ninjanothewise8214]

Honestly if they put the 5th slot behind legion again I wouldn't mind. Never been interested in bossing, never have allot of time to invest to get the 100+ div to get to that point. Last league was the closest I'd ever gotten with beasts and then they changed things. Still possible though. Maybe next league

[@KisameBG]

Video kinda shows why alot of people dont like current poe. Everything designed nowadays is for people with mirror gear and meta builds with meta setups, and even then it still fucks.

[@Zoggest]

You can make money in other places, we have a lot of potential character power in the game so they have 2 choices : Create a new endgame uber hard content, or let the 1% destroy the game and the economy because they outgear everything the game offers.

i hope they nerf the t17 bosses and nerf the mods that can roll on them, the bosses are so weak in terms of stats, even if steelmage gets hits by every single skill in abomination and thinks its hard, in reality they need like 2 damage and 2 tank mods to not just die and do some damage to characters that can kill an uber, not farm ubers, just kill one

[@SedBuildsThings]

I would like to see them add more depth of recovery options, would like to see things like regen and leech actually matter in endgame content again. If they don't tier up the recovery options, the other options for getting defensively strong enough for t17 content are never gonna be able to be balanced. Only "fight through it" options are really viable.
