Title.
Whoever made this encounter should be legally barred from making video games ever again. It is trash. I refuse to believe whoever did it plays the game. Absolute idiot decision to make it so half this fight if he touches you once your character gets completely turned off for two seconds and can’t fight back. And this happens constantly throughout the entire fight. In fact the effect should be deleted from the game. There’s already way too many things spawning under your feet and stopping you from moving. And its not some big avoidable windup that you can just side step. No, it actually sorta fast and difficult to dodge without a lot of move speed or you have unstoppable literally all the time. It also happens over and over for like the entire fight. You don’t get hardly any time to retaliate. Yes I am absolutely filled to the brim with gamer mirth when I have to walk in a circle around a boss not hitting it because if I stop to press a button it will tap me on the head and lock me out of pressing buttons and resource drain me. Also was running into the Lilith waves problem. Ya know, the problem where it will hit you even though it absolutely 100% did not even come close to hitting you?
Whoever is responsible for this part simply sucks at their job and shouldn’t have been given a chance.
The rest of the season? I’m having a blast. The powers are OP and fun. This boss is just so frustrating to fight. I don’t like it.

Try to get unstoppable so you can get out of stuns.
What class are you?
lol I just fought him, I had no idea they changed him from last season.

He’s just an easy DPS check with all that barrier like Butcher, you can’t get any easier than that.
Its not a stun its the daze where you can’t use abilities
I get attempting it at level 54 with a yolo’d build was probably ambitious but I absolutely would have killed the boss if I was able to use my character the whole time
butcher is a potions check until your setup is complete. Also a joke of a boss. He’s only in the game to cheese you when you’re level 5 cuz blizzard thinks its cute.

I faced him with my improvised barb build at level 50 and killed him in first try. His a bit annoying, but nothing special

I dunno about your build but I can smack him T4 without him able to touch me with my blood minion necro (with zero unique on her in case you mention that damn ring which I haven’t been a me to get).
very skilled player you are, he’s level 75 isnt he? good job!!!
I find gathering his body parts more annoying than the fight

Get resists, very easy. The bottleneck for Grigore living steel is the pain, not only are Helltides on a timer and insanely dull, they cap you at 2 chests per run which isnt even enough for one Grigore every two hours. The overall concept of the boss farming is good but it needs a revamp.

Unstoppable makes the fight trivial.
Hand never seems to drop for me.
Along these lines, if the OP were to get the vamp ability that gives unstoppable w/dash (metamorphosis iirc) it would make the fight easier. I suspect that ability could be what the devs had in mind. Tbh, I like not needing to slot an unstoppable skill.
That said when I 1st fought him (early on in WT3) I didn’t have it or an unstoppable skills, but did have 3 wolves. I basically used the cycle point where he cast AoE damage spells to do damage, the fortify section to kill the minions for pots, and the daze phase to avoid getting damaged while sneaking in a rabies and wolf active attack. Took some time but could get him then as well.
I’m already exhausted of fighting this terribly designed p*ss poor excuse for a Boss. They designed a boss fight where unless you play perfectly you don’t get to play the game for half of it. An action rpg game where a Boss can spam an attack that makes you unable to use your abilities.
Does anybody seriously still believe the devs play this game? It’s so blatantly obvious that they don’t.
The devs didn’t have anything in mind. Half the game is designed w/ zero foresight. They just throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Designing a boss fight around a temporary mechanic is as stupid as designing a Unique to teleport the player randomly.

That’s the weaker version of the fight, not the one that drops Duriel mats where he is a damage sponge.
A seasonal boss fight w/a seasonal mechanic as a counter isn’t that bad imo. Also, depending on the class a player and build a player could chain unstoppable (before the daze is applied). Or as I mentioned in the 2nd paragraph just avoid him for the 1/3 of the fight where he’s running around w/that attack. But, I suspect there’s classes/build where that’s easier said then done.
Tbh, at least in WT3 there’s no real reason to do it anyway. He just occasionally drops a unique and the xp isn’t worth the time imo otherwise. Edit, I see where you’re speaking WT4 nm.
Varshan is also bugged, everything one shots like uber lilith. Shame on you blizzard.
i get 4 chests per helltide…you know those chests reset just like every other chest
