Tanking toughest bosses
|
IMHO having lots of health and healing is a type of tanking.
Anyway, here is a level 78 Courtyard minus max double boss + other mods ;) http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/658260 IGN: Mortezzah, prolly playing on character Gellig

Yeah, I don't quite understand the 'having high health so that you don't die doesn't mean you are a tank' argument. But the real question is how do you not have terribad dps? You must surely be using a Kaom's to have that hp pool, but then you're using shield... So no six link, yet somehow your deeeps isn't that bad?

I guess I'm still pretty nub. I was so excited that I soloed Vaal with my duelist the other day lol. These items help so much:
plus enfeeble. Would never do it -max or double boss though, no way.. Maybe one day, but I'd rather not die yet. Nice vids, scary bosses. Current IGN: TheBearerOfLight

" Tell me, what do you think is defense against spell bosses? Anything except block, resistances and high life/ES? The point is, everybody take damage, you have to take damage, the thing is, how much can you take. I've seen that "Touch of God" varies in damage, sometimes it dealt half of my life, and sometimes 90%. Based on that, someone who has less than 8k life/ES gets one shot by "Touch of God" on -max, every time, and it would one shot me in 70% of time if I use "Topaz Flask". I hope we're done with false tanking crap. " No defenses? @Mortezzah Nice. I had no luck in rolling double boss with -max, so I'm now looking to buy/trade those remaining that I didn't do. @maffa50 I use Reave with 2 linked DPS modifiers. @google337 Nice, blocked the "Touch of God" most of the time. But with your life pool, you would be one shot with -max 100% of the tries if you don't block. The thing is, why I separated them... I don't even have to explain, just watch the first Residence videos, horrible to play, better not show that to the future PoE players, because, they probably wouldn't be players :) Too much desync with both bosses near each other, unplayable. You should try Cyclone vs cyclone boss in Courtyard, now that should never be recorded :) Elemental Weakness is meaningless to me, I've well capped my resistances.

" Nice nick first of all. If you look at the mods of the map more carefully, the possibility of surviving "Vaal smash" is 0% without Immortal Call, doesn't matter if you have 50k armour + enfeeble and 12k life, you will get one shot. I myself, am still shocked that I didn't know his smash is half fire/half physical damage, and I've killed many, many Vaals. I just used IC and problems were gone. Maybe they changed his smash in some of the patches earlier around release? |

If I had your character and gear I wouldn't die like you do. You're not exactly playing amazingly there.

" i can tank his fist of god or whatever it does alot of dmg but i still have some hp left, i did get lucky on most of the block yup -res @ palace is way too hard looking forward for u take take on the challenge =) or if some 1 already does it then i want to see the video but i guess no one? who knows Last edited by googie337#4637 on Nov 28, 2013, 4:58:50 PM

" Yeah, it's not hard without -max. But it's almost impossible to move from his "Touch of God", the amount of desync is devastating. So, when I get double boss and -max Palace, I'll have to be very very lucky to dodge his ToG, because it will one shot me even if I use Topaz Flask most of the time. I had a request to do double boss Crematorium to see how long can I sustain both Firestorms, I will do it also. |
