Dragon's Immortal Tank (Updated for 1.2)

Nothing I can think of Tom, your doing fine. It is pretty much a test of patience to run this build without the gear, but it isn't impossible. Just wait until you get an Aegis Aurora.
YOU.
WILL.
SHIT.
YOUR.
PANTS.
AND.
POSSIBLY.
EVEN.
SHIT.
THE.
NEAREST.
PERSON'S.
PANTS.
TOO.

And it just goes on from there. You will shit yourself once you get a 6L or BOR. And shit yet again when you get a Soul Taker.... So much shitting to look forward to.




Also... HAPPY 100th page!!! Can't believe my thread has reached 100.

Will it be like the shit when you have diarrhea, but it doesn't hurt when it comes out? Because that's awesome.

Also, if the nearest person is going to shit, too, I need to invite the girl next door over right before I buy an AA. That should be entertaining.

Last thing, how much does a BoR regularly go for? Just looking at it I would think it might go for 8 to 10 exalts, but I wouldn't know.

PS: Happy 100th page!

I'd say it was -24% max res, atleast it started with a 2, but i cannot say for sure.. Anyways it was closer to 25 than 20 :p

I tried to look up from google for how much damage it hits normally, when no mods counted, but couldn't find anything.. Same with Magaera, couldn't find any numbers for that boss either. I think i once saw somewhere the number for Piety's Ice Shot and it was like 4000-4500 what it hits for and it's like the skill Ice Shot, 60% physical / 40% cold and it's a regular attack too, so every extra ele dmg % adds to that too and it's clearly visible :p


Yeah, you wont find anything using google, or anything in general. GGG dont want to release any info on monsters.

But you can calculate it.

Coming up with megaera's base unmodded dmg

Spoiler
From your megaera double boss video: No extra damage mods, they are on enfeeble and you are overdosing on ruby flasks. 90% of the times the fireballs hit your ES its dropping by ~300 to 400 on most hits, and 500-600 very occasionally (crits most prolly) Even though it moves back up really fast, you can make out the numbers, especially if you pause it a bit here and there.

Enfeeble vs bosses = 40% reduced effect, so 21% reduced damage and 23% reduced extra crit damage

From Rory GGG posting in another thread

These monsters, and their equivalent versions in Maps have 50% reduced curse effect:

Brutus
Vaal Oversoul
Merveil
Piety (Does not apply in the Crematorium)

All other Map bosses have 40% reduced curse effect!


79% of damage dealt on normal hits
23% + 30% = 53% reduced extra damage from crits = 100 + (0.47 x 0.50) = 124% damage on a crit
81 + 10 = 91% resist fire = 9% of damage dealt

First we take an average hit

300-400 ~ 350 / 0.79 / 0.09 = 4922 average

I would say they have a 4-6k range before crits, it would make sense since on stream, I have seen them drop 8k ES characters with purity / 79 res that dont even bother using flasks or enfeeble and have no spell block in a couple of hits.

5000 x 0.21 = 1050 average, ~1500+ on a crit


300 damage taken : 4218 original fireball dmg
400 damage taken : 5625 original fireball dmg

To check crits

4000 - 6000 x 1.24 x 0.79 x 0.09 = 352 - 528 life taken

You get hit for 5xx twice or so, it was definitely a crit.


And on a -res map like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb_wuEuqPsA

Spoiler


Map has -17% resists, so with flask you have 91 - 17 = 74% resists

So 0.26 of damage taken, thats 0.26 / 0.09 = 288% ~ 3 times more damage taken than before, and its a medium roll! - max is crazy man!

The damage range taken should be 300-600 x 2.88 = 864 - 1728, which is exactly in line with what the video shows. With 17xx ES, you are often hit and left at 200-1000 ES (7xx - 15xx), or hit and a few hp taken off (18xx dmg - massive crit with max dmg range).



tl;dr megaera hits for 4-6k fire, before crits, resists, enfeeble and damage mods O_O

Hehe i would be there already if i knew what i was going up against.. I don't like surprises when they come in the form of 150% extra damage :p I'm close to 20% 96-97 lvl and that's like 12 hours of 76-77 maps :p But as soon as i know what there is waiting i'll be going in =)

A guy in same party just 1 hour ago found that map from Precinct boss :p
mh, which gem u guys gonna take now? (just need 1x endu cry anymore)

cant decide between bloodrage or a 2nd curse. :<
Hey guys,

I've been using a somewhat similar build on hardcore that's taken me safely from 87 to 92 now. Although the dps isn't spectacular compared to other specs, it's let me run close to all map mods just fine and there's been a certain pleasure in just being able to stand still in massive packs of monsters or face tank high maps' bosses with tough map mods while others have to run left and right to dodge attacks.

Here's my gear:
