That it one shot my 14 year straight sub…
Peace.

I very much agree on the overtuned part.
I’m not going to unsub for it. But something needs changed.
I got one for the floor boss on floor 5 and it spammed the spear ability hitting me for 8.8k per shot on layer 6 difficulty.
If you interrupt it, there is a second or so lapse with a fear cast that you then have no interrupt for.
Once you get feared, guess what…, spear spam comes back and melts you.
I blew every defensive I have, trinkets included, and managed 40% before getting annihilated.
Gave it two pulls and left the run.
Went back in on a layer 3 just to get my leggo.
Done with that floor for this week, hard pass.

Speaking as a person who ran into this mob as solo Kyrian Prot Pally (with the Avenger’s Shield legenday to boot)… Yeah, the damage is NUTS. I was hard pressed to get thru this guy on Layer 6 Floor 1 as a spec with potential stuns and interrupts for days, as well as increased survivability (ran into it again later on with more powers and it was a BIT better… a BIT). I can’t imagine what it’s like for everyone else!
Yeah I got one of these on layer 6 floor 4…it kills my pet soooo fast with spear spam; I used hero/all CDs/interrupt/bursting shot/mend pet as often as I could/Turtle and Rez pet/trap/etc. and barely made it past. Those spears hit WAAAY too hard for any spec that doesn’t have pet tank or frequent disrupt.
Oh man I was worried it was just me and my druid pal. We were just getting deleted by the spears and laughing at the absurdity of it. They were just chunking us and we barely scraped by.
I had to burn everything I had on layer 2 for this jerk. I was lucky and had a horseman to take some of the damage, but i had to bubble them with anti-magic zone otherwise they would have been burned down super quick.
And I died twice to the fear, once it feared me to the edge and without even moving I dropped like a rock before I had a chance to try to get back.
Ok … okayyyy - glad it wasn’t just me! That guy schooled me for sure. I wasn’t expecting it either. The powers I had for that run were sub-par and I also picked a power off killing a rare in there that either a) you take more physical damage and less magic or b) vise versa - I picked magic damage reduction. So that floor boss pummeled me repeatedly until I ran out of lives and said screw this.
When I went in for a fresh run I got better powers and managed to get through. I did not encounter such problems (on floor bosses) for the rest of the levels or any of the levels on the other hall but I have definitely felt the buff they got and they’re not a yawn - zap through it - encounter anymore.
That one floor boss was worse that a lot of the level bosses. So something feels out of whack there.
Well, they just nerfed the Empowered Coldheart Agent. Hotfixes from last night:
- Empowered Coldheart creatures no longer cast
Fallen Armaments or
Dark Fortress.
- Empowered Coldheart Agents cast
Shadow Spear less frequently.
All rage aside. I agree.
The spear floor bosses were harder than the actual end boss
maybe you’re just underperforming.
and maybe success is less dependent on the “get gud” argument and more dependent on your class/spec and what anima powers you get through RNG.
